schneider: thank you. that also leads into the other question i'd like you to speak about which is are there countries and programs who can expand the number of volunteers they're receiving and where does it become a way for peace corps to continue develop until the those countries? are there more countries that want the peace corps and if there are, are there more volunteers here around this country willing to join and become part of those new programs? ms. olsen: first, with the programs, that we have resources to continue the approximate number of volunteers we have now which is in the range of 7,000. in that process we also know that there are elements in the world that i toned use the word -- i tend to use the word kerfuffle. i don't know where i got that word but let's just say for things that don't go perfectly. our ability to be steady in every country around the world is not quite perfect. it is always important for us to stay strong, for us to be looking at countries where we can increase. and we

schneider: thank you. mr. speaker, i rise today in support of h.r. 190, the expanding contracting opportunities for small business act. i am proud to introduce this bill with my friend from kansas. as they did in the last congress, i encourage our colleagues to join us in passing this important bipartisan legislation. women-owned businesses, companies owned by service-disabled veterans, and other types of small firms have unique opportunities to work with the federal government through sole source contracting. unfortunately regulations governing these types of contracts, specifically the maximum value amount of a contract, have not kept pace with inflation and many small business owners often won't pursue these opportunities due to the diminished return. furthermore, the law includes option years toward the cap. reducing the projected returns and lowering the appeal of sole source contracts. for these reasons, many eligible small businesses overlook sole source contracts as a quality opportunity to do business

. >> and jessica schneider. shan, let me start with you, roger stone's attorney said they found no collusion or they would have charged him with that. that's what your hearing from a lot of the president's reporters. what's your take on that assessment? >> well, they're correct, he wasn't charged on any substantive conspiracy aspect of it. i think it's important to node as we all know, the trump campaign started out saying absolutely no contact whatsoever. obviously, there's been more contact and substantive contact. obviously, from the manafort case, we saw there was substance being exchanged. it moves closer and closer to showing the conclusion. i think what's important about this indictment, victor, it really shows the interest and the eagerness on the part of the campaign to want to get this information, so i think that's a very important point. >> i want to talk about that stuff isn't just a moment, shan. but jessica, let me ask you, the chronology, not of the entire case, but just the last 24 hours is so u

cnn justice correspondent jessica schneider has more on this reporting. so walk us through what we need to know about this report. >> brianna, this is an explosive report with several significant revelations all attributed to two law enforcement officials to back it up. so first, the president reportedly supported a plan that was spearheaded by michael cohen to visit russia during the presidential campaign and even for donald trump to personally meet with vladimir putin. this, of course, would all be sort of that start to that effort to jump-start the trump tower moscow negotiations. now, buzzfeed even says that then-candidate donald trump told michael cohen, quote, make it happen, which, of course, it never actually did. in addition, this report also describes how intricately donald trump was involved in these trump tower moscow negotiations that did stretch through at least june 2016 after trump secured the republican nomination. buzzfeed now reporting law enforcement sources saying that trump had ten face-to-face meetings with michael cohen to discuss

. >> cnn justice correspondent jessica schneider joining me now. stone continues to talk ahead of his court appearance. >> it's been a flurry of outspoken interviews for stone. it's possible that the judge stone will actually face in d.c. on tuesday, her name is amy burrman jackson, she could possibly put an end to his interviews. that's because she's overseeing cases of gates. stone saying, sure, it could have been rick gates, the former deputy campaign manager to paul manafort, but since rick gates has been cooperating with mueller for the past year since pleading guilty, stone suggesting that gates might be feeding this information to mueller and stone has said that gates might be lying since he doesn't have any recollection of any conversation with him. now, to note, rick gates' lawyers have said that he is not the senior trump campaign official referred to in this indictment. so that's also an aside. and stone also insisted in interviews that he has no idea who may have directed that senior trump campaign official. so that's stone. but another

jessica schneider reports the man who oversees the russia probe may have to be flexible about the date of miss final hi in office. >> reporter: donees out rod rosenstein has long been planning his departure when he was satisfied that mueller's investigation was either complete or close enough to complete that it was protected. so with rosenstein's upcoming possible departure, this could be the clear he is sign ysesise that the mueller prone be is wrapping up. and he is also timing this with william bahr's possible resignatiorefcofir nation, which is shaping up to be about the mid-february at the earliest. now, we did see the president's pick william barr up on capitol hill wednesday and he told senator lindsey graham that he plans to be transparent when it comes to the mueller probe and any release orobert mueller's report to congress or the public. but fair to say rod rosenstein, he has been the big protector and proponent for the special counsel. he appointed rc pointe appointe mueller and gave him broad responsibility including manafort. and tuesday manafort's lawyers inadvertently

jessica schneider is here with us on this.we know anything about the timing of this or what this is going to mean for the special counsel's investigation? >> brian a it could mean a lot, but the timing here is not set in stone. rosenstein will likely step down in the next month or so and is planning to leave the justice department when the president's pick for attorney general william barr is likely confirmed and with the confirmation schedule that would be by mid-february at the earliest. rosenstein has long seen this coming. he's signalled that he would leave his post and mueller's investigation was complete or close to complete so that really the probe was protected. of course, rosenstein has overseen this russia investigation. he appointed robert mueller in may 2017 and he's given the special counsel broad leeway to follow the probe wherever it may lead including paul manafort's finances and possible collusion with russia which we saw hints of yesterday in the inadvertent filing that showed paul manafort gave polling data

more, jodi schneider, bloomberg senior international editor joins us.ongressional lawmakers and president trump, are they getting any closer to a standoff unless the president drops his border wall demands? >> it does not look like they will get a deal. the president had made it very that he needs that $5 billion for a wall. as they noted, democrats took over control of the u.s. house of representatives, and upon getting the gavel, shortly after getting it in the hundred 16th congress began, nancy pelosi went to the chamber to pass two pieces of legislation. thatould fund departments have been shuttered for the rest , and one would allow the department of homeland security, where the border dispute lies, to reopen temporarily for a few weeks, figure eight. noted, mitch mcconnell also called these votes political theater and is not going to take him up. president trump would and he would not accept them. now, the standoff continues. they have lost some leverage with the democrats taking over the house. they do not have as much leverage as they might have

. >> cnn justice correspondent jessica schneider joining me now.stone seems to be really relishing the spotlight as opposed to going into hiding after an experience like that. >> he is definitely making his public proclamation of innocence before he gets to washington, and appears in court here. and that could be somewhat strategic. the judge assigned to roger stone's case, she is the same one overseeing paul manafort and rick gates, and she has been strict about talking to the media. she previously issued some gag orders so roger stone potentially might be trying to get his message out now while he can. but really, while roger stone claims that there was no collusion, his charges are still serious. as are the underpinnings of the indictment itself. and the part of the indictment raising the most questions is that a senior trump campaign official in july, 2016, was directed to contact stone about any other releases or damaging information to hillary clinton that could be coming in the weeks or months following from wikileaks. now, this was after th
