opinion that the c.i.a.'s use of torture, such as waterboarding, was not prohibited by the convention against torture so long as it was done overseas. that memo also concluded the constitutional prohibitions against cruel, usual, and inhumane treatment of punishment or punishments did not apply. the fourth memo, written on jult the continued use of six enhanced interrogation techniques by the c.i.a., including forced nudity, extended sleep deprivation, did not violate the detainee treatment act or the war crimes act of the geneva convention. by writing these four memos, bradbury not only proil the feeble foundation -- provided the feeble foundation upon which the c.i.a. violated well-established law and military doctrine, he also endangered united states troops, as the senator from illinois has pointed out, betrayed our country's values, and compromised our standing as a world leader. the tactics used by the c.i.a. were not only more brutal than was known, they also didn't produce actionable intelligence. we

frankly, i'll never forgive the c.i.a. for what they did. brian: go back to -- comparison on something. we know a lot about your torture. what has been harder for you? living through the torture or living through the cancer? senator mccain: well, living through cancer is a challenge that i have. living through torture is you never know what's going to happen the next morning. whether they are going to come around and open your cell door and say come on out. at least with this fight that i'm in, i know the enemy and i know what we have to do. and know that we take the consequences. let me also say, brian, that i have had -- we're now talking about 50 years. i am the most fortunate person of all the thousands that you have interviewed that you will ever know. i have had the best and full life that anybody could possibly have. so i look at this challenge as -- with joy, with happiness, and with gratitude. gratitude that i have had the opportunity to serve this country a little bit. brian: have you noticed any change in the way people are approac

so for them to get this kind of intelligence was pretty significant. >> narrator: exactly what the c.i.ad is classified, but to brennan it was a game-changer. >> it was something that was, i think, worrying to all of us, particularly since we didn't know the extent of what it is that the russians were engaged in. and we didn't know how far they would go to really threaten the integrity of the election. >> narrator: the information was dispatched from c.i.a. headquarters to the offices of the director of national intelligence, james clapper. >> i reacted viscerally when i understood the magnitude of what they were doing, and that it was in fact orchestrated at the highest levels of the russian government, meaning putin himself. i've seen a lot of bad stuff in my 50-plus years in intelligence. that really shook me. >> narrator: with clapper on board, brennan delivered the details to the president in person. >> obama's senior-most officials have told us that he was taken aback by this, that the president was alarmed, as well. >> narrator: at the white house, some wanted the president to sou

then the president would nominate arkansas senator tom cotton to be the next c.i.a. director. the president thinks pompeo is doing a terrific job at the c.i.a., knows the world well and has a tremendous respect for senator tom cotton who has been faithful to the president on most occasions, a couple of occasions where they parted ways. for the most part senator cotton has been supporting the president. potential second scenario being talked about. i say being talked about. i'm told it is far less likely than the first one, would be to move nikki haley from her post as the u.n. ambassador over to the state department and elevate dena powell who is a real power player at the national security counsel to the united nations and make her the u.n. ambassador and i'm told one of the things that is being talked about is that ivanka trump could potentially be appointed a special envoy for women at the united nations, sources say she really wants to get back to new york city and the president would really like to find a prominent role for her. now, all of this being said, rex tillerson c

i commend the c.i.a. director, our former colleague here in the house, mike pompeo, who has hit the ground running as new c.i.a. director and made the bold decision to take these 470,000 documents and release them for the american public and for the world to see. they shouldn't have been hidden in the first place. they shouldn't have been hidden for so long now and now we can know the truth of the relationship that absolutely existed between iran and al qaeda. i encourage my colleagues to view these documents. i encourage the media to view these documents, for the american public and the international community and i thank, again, the administration for their leadership in this very important decision. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the chair recognizes the gentlewoman from wisconsin, ms. moore, for five minutes. mr. speaker, i rise today to decry a provision in this tax bill that would amount to shocking tax increases of thousands of dollars for struggling graduate students by reclassifying their

andrea: day one he goes to the c.i.a. and really disrespects the intelligence agencies. you can already hear what became his criticisms of the russian investigation to come. and also, brags about the size of the crowd, which led to all of the controversy with his press secretary. but the cabinet was the most disruptive. bringing in rex tillerson, a non-diplomat, a businessman, looked like a great idea at the time but the wrong man arguably for the wrong time because he not only wasn't a diplomat but his mission, he feels, is to downsize and not appoint so now you have vacancies everywhere in the state department. you have an absence of real leadership on global policy, in regions around the world. that really exacerbated by what you saw with different cabinet secretaries having to step down. tom price -- the lack of ethics, the lack of understanding the processes for getting a nominee to a cabinet hearing, really caused him great disruption and we're still seeing it with jeff sessions. the answers that he gave at that initial hearing are haunting him to this day. robert:

and the c.i.a. said in a statement to "the hill" that director mike pompeo, appointed by president trump, "stands by" the intelligence community's conclusions last january that russia interfered in the election. in their meeting, mr. trump and putin agreed on a joint strategy to defeat the islamic state in syria. they also agreed that the war has no military solution but can only be ended by all sides in peace talks. back in hanoi, mr. trump praised the trade summit's host country before attending a state dinner with vietnamese president tran dai quang, calling vietnam "one of the great miracles of the world." meanwhile, u.s. and south korean warships launched four days of joint naval exercises off the coast of south korea. the u.s. navy says it's the first time in a decade that three u.s. carrier strike groups are operating together in the west pacific. north korea charged today that president trump's asia trip is that of a "warmonger" intent on confrontation with the north. in a statement read on s

the leading uandidate to replace tillerson is current c.i.a. director mike pompeo. that would leave a vacancy at the c.i.a., likely to be filled by either republican senator tom cotton of arkansas or retired vice admiral robert harworth. >> mason: margaret brennan at the white house. thanks, margaret. the non-partisan joint commission on taxation estimated today that the senate republican tax bill would add $1 trillion to the deficit over the next decade. that conflicts with g.o.p. claims the tax cuts in t would pay for themselves. even so, a final vote is expected by tomorrow and nancy cordes tells us prospects for approval are improving.

cnn asked the c.i.a. today if the agency's position on russian meddling had changed.r, it hadn't. intelligence agencies are firmly concluded that the russians did work to affect the results of the election last year. ranking member of the house intelligence committee today criticized the president for taking vladimir putin's word over the findings of his own agencies. this coming from representative adam schiff of california. writing mr. trump simply can't bring himself to put america first. a comment echoed by senator john mccain who said this in a statement moments ago. quote, there's nothing america first about taking the word of a kgb colonel over that of the american intelligence community. there's no principled realism in cooperating with russia to prop up the murderous assad regime. vladimir putin does not have america's interests at heart, to believe otherwise is not only naive, but also places our national security at risk. i want to take a chance to remind you that tomorrow on cnn's state of the union, former director of national intelligence, james clapper
