so this narrative, according to this source, that the sky is falling and the house is on fire because of what don mcgahn told mueller's team is not exactly accurate because they still believe there's executive privilege that's been asserted over that information. >> amidst all of this, jim, there's a lot more fallout emerging right now over the president's decision to revoke the former cia director john brennan's security clearance. 175 former u.s. officials spanning several agencies, administrations going back to the reagan administration have added their names to a list of intelligence officials denouncing the president's decision. brennan is considering now, what, going to court to fight all this. what's the latest you're hearing from the president? >> reporter: well, wolf, we can point out the president, in addition to going after robert mueller, has been escalating his attacks on the former cia director john brennan. he put out a tweet earlier this morning saying that he hopes john brennan will sue in this case. it's interesting. here's the tweet. i hope john brennan, the worst cia director in our country's history, b

in astronomy, we do the same thing, processing data from the sky, and medical imaging can thank astronomy for big leaps forward. my team, first at m.i.t. and then jet propulsion lab, we built a small satellite to find planets. what it does new in technology, it can point 100 times more precisely than anything in its mass category. will its legacy be defined exoplanets? probably not. the people most interested come from optical indications, a way to pack more information than radio waves, and that is probably where it will be used. >> one of the things i have been personally involved with in my past before i took the job, in some of the spin outs from developing space technology, including electronics developed to study environmental conditions on mars that are now routinely used in manufacturing environments to prevent discharges from happening, and many others. there's so many. we could talk for hours. >> thank you, mr. chairman. >> thank you. senator hassan. >> thank you, mr. chairman and ranking member, for holding this meeting. thank you to our witnesses. it is a real pleasure to see you all. i would like to offer
