of the data breaches, cooperated extensively with f.b.i. and d.o.j. tearns to investigate the intrusion and by leveraging the combined effort of the government and service providers, they assisted in effectuating a targeted, streamlined, an effective investigation. the update to this type of responsible parties have been identified, charges have been returned, one defendant has been arrested, and arrest warrants have been issued for the remaining defendants. importantly, the cooperative efforts of the government and the private sector in this instance allowed the u.s. attorney's office, along with the national security division and the f.b.i. to accomplish these initial results while maintaining the fundamental privacy interests of the account holders who had their information stolen. we commend both yahoo! and google for working with our office, the f.b.i., and the national security division lawyers to identify and seek justice for the perpetrators of these intrusions. i'll turn it back to mary. >> we'll take a few questions now. >> i was wondering, w

well with, shortly after he said that, actually, a member of congress asked the f.b.i. from the president an hour ago saying the fast and f.b.i. tell congress that russia did not influence the electoral process. so that's not quite accurate, that tweet? >> wav any information on that subject. that's not something that was looked at. ( audience reacts ) >> trevor: there is tweets in congress now? and trump is so gangster. he lied open twitter during a hearing about him lying on twitter. ( laughter ) he was live lying the hearing. ( laughter ) i'm honestly flabbergasted by this whole thing, you know. and the best part of all of this is that, instead of tweeting it from usual "at real donald trump" account, he was tweeting from the official potus account, like we wouldn't know it was him. he was sitting there going, if it worked for superman, it will work for me! yeah! ( laughter ) donald trump, we know it's you. we'll be right back.

the f.b.i. u.s. soil. it happened in garland, texas. simpson and another terrorist opened fire at a conference center. incredibly, an f.b.i. undercover agent was on the scene. >> i can't tell you whether the f.b.i. knew the attack was going to occur. i don't like to think that they let it occur, but it is shocking to me that an undercover agent sees fellas jumping out of a car and he drives on. i find that shocking. >> there's a lot of people gunning for me. i'm not going to be reckless. >> pelley: who is gunning for you? >> you are. i'm on "60 minutes," right? >> pelley: tonight "60 minutes" reports on the real consequences of fake news. lies on the left and right fed by fraudulent software that scam our social media accounts. click on a fake news site, and publishers like jestin coler make money. >> people in general are quick to believe anything that is... not anything, but, well, yeah, basically anything that's put in front of them in a format that is news-ish. >> alfonsi: until a couple summ

the f.b.i. of mr. flynn? director comey: i can't comment on that. ms. sewell: shouldn't the american people be concerned -- i think it's hard for us to fathom that he would know that he should have disclosed that he received $35,000 as a part of a speaking engagement to r.t., the russian us -- russian-u.s. anti-propaganda outlet. director comey: i can't comment on that. ms. sewell: my final question is there flynn working as an agent of foreign power. following on mr. himes' line of questioning, aim correct the foreign agents registration act requires that individuals who lobby on behalf of a foreign government must register with the united states government? director comey: i believe that's correct. i know i keep saying i'm not an expert. the reason i'm saying that is i don't know exaly how they define things like lobbyinin the statute. but as a general matter, if you're going to represent a foreign government here in the united states, touching our government, you should be registered. ms. sewe

one of the difficulties for the f.b.i. hat's the hardest part when you talk about this, right. there's a lot of guys who talk it's very hard to tell when someone crosses that line. and in most of the cases, you see the f.b.i. has some touch point with those individuals beforehand. there had been an assessment, a preliminary investigation or a full investigation. it's just very hard to know when somebody decides to jump. (man vo) it was may, when dad forgot how to brush his teeth. (woman vo) in march, my husband didn't recognize our grandson. (woman 2 vo) that's when moderate alzheimer's made me a caregiver.

reporter: do you know if the f.b.i. is looking into the president? mr. nunes: i highly doubt that. but we don't know everything. reporter: will the president apologize now to the american people, to whoever until we get to the bottom of whether -- reporter: you have spoken to comey a number of times. that amplified what you heard in closed session? mr. nunes: i think this is a bit of a big net, a big have las with i think little justification. you won't even say whether or not -- you had accusations by several members of the president's cabinet being somehow tied to the russians. we have no evidence of that. and i doubt that evidence exists. i mean personal attackses on the secretary of state. this is getting farfetched here and needs to be cleared up quickly. this investigation was going on since july. reporter: comey revealed one investigation, the investigation into hillary clinton. should he have acknowledged there was an investigation into trump. mr. nunes: we may have to change the gang of eight procedures. reporter: you weren't aware of this last year that president trump wa

her man, in addition to jim comey and the f.b.i. and it seems like he's wiggled his way into the middle of things. you are someone who ran for president and are familiar with dirty tricks. what's your take on all of this? who my take is all these voices that have coming out on this issue are all speculative. judge jeanine: including the president? >>pe that could be speculative also, but, judge, we don't know what he knows. judge jeanine: why doesn't he declassify what he knows? >> i don't know the answer to that. here is the point i'm trying to make. there are so many unknowns, and so much speculation, everybody splim needs to take a chill pill and let the investigation take place. the l white house is not objectg to the investigation. let it take place. the media has been just absorbed with the whole russia connection. why not throw this in there. at this point mr. is too much speculation from too' people. everybody needs to take a chill pill and let the investigation go forward. allow me to say this, judge. where is the story abou

then the report of the investigation of the f.b.i. and five other agencies, now here's the next story. "new york times" reports, "the new york times" reports that the f.b.i. has investigate -- is investigating russian government communications with trump campaign but there's no evidence of those communications resulting in any kind of collusion at least. that's "the new york times" report. so these stories have been dropped. in hedge street, "the guardian," "new york times." here's another "new york times" report. that the obama administration athroid n.s.a. to share demreblely intercepted personal communications with 16 other a ral agencies without warrant that a warrant that i believe refers to a january directive that came from barack obama that opened up the ability to communicate between the intelligence agencies so that they could share classified information among them rather than compartmentalize it and share that information on a need to know basis. that's item number five. item number six. the obama administration officials t

and we don't have the global reach that the f.b.i. does. so we are going to do our best to investigate the issues that you heard about today. we want to make sure we do that as thoroughly as possible and to the degree that we can, that we oversee what the justice department is doing to ensure they are doing a thorough investigation. but we have to put hope and confidence in the bureau to conduct this investigation in the thorough manner it needs to be done. last question. reporter: on the time line, the chairman suggested that the director should move it to hurry it along. what is your time line for your committee investigation? mr. schiff: here's the real challenge. and i look at this as if putting my former prosecutor hat on, i had a major white collar investigation to do that was global in nature that involved governments in a did not want to willingly share information with us as well as those people of interest. you would potentially spend months going through the documentary evidence before you would call a single witness. and that inv

charlie: the f.b.i. tor said he had seen no evidence of that in every other intelligence official. michael: right, so the president is hanging out there politically. i think chairman nuÑez was trying to help them out. that is the political motivation. the tactical one is someone put the reports in front of the chairman and said, we think this is significant. there's all these reports out there with the names -- charlie: and that likely came from? michael: it is not 100% clear to me who disseminated these reports. it is possible it is n.s.a. it is possible it is c.i.a. the chairman said it was fisa reporting, which takes you to n.s.a. or the f.b.i. charlie: meaning somebody used that in a request. michael: fisa is if the intelligence community wants to collect in the united states , either against a foreign government or foreign person or a u.s. person who they think might be an agent of a foreign power and they have some evidence they are an agent of a foreign power, that requires a fisa warrant. that req

jeff pegues has learned new details tonight about the f.b.i.'s criminal investigation. >> reporter: cbs news has learned that f.b.i. agents are looking into whether trump campaign associates were coordinating with russian operatives as early as march of 2016. sources say agents are examining whether individuals sympathetic to the trump campaign directed hackers to specific information in democratic party computer system. at the time, both mr. trump and hillary clinton had emerged as their party's most likely nominees. according to this declassified intelligence assessment, it was march when russian hackers began cyber operations aimed at the u.s. election. by may, u.s. officials say the russians had stolen large vol iewsms data from the d.n.c. starting in june, wexes like guccifer 2.0, and wikileaks began posting the hacked documents. in august, trump confidant, roger stone, tweeted about clinton campaign chairman john podesta. "trust me. it will soon be podesta's time in the barrel." then on october 7, wikileaks began publishing podesta's perso

it is really stunning to hear the f.b.i. rector say, you know, investigate some things, but leaks which he says he takes steer yulsly, he was pretty doggone clear when he didn't even know if the number of people whom would have access to that information to like the, that he doesn't even have an investigation underway in all likelihood. what do you think? >> i finds hard to take him serious live at this point. he starts with i can't con flirms an investigation. but let me confirm there is an investigation. i can't correct false statements made in the media but let me respond to the president's tweet. he says it's our poll i have not top respond to false statements made by leakers who don't know what they are talking about but let me respond to this particular thing from the white house. it becomes more about comey and people endangering american citizens by leaking classified information and unmasking people's names. >> i wish we could keep the march madness on the basketball court and out of the u.s. congress. but it doesn't

and the president also tweeting about the real story that congress, the f.b.i. and all others should be looking into is the classified information. whether or not comey will be asked about those questions, you can fine that out for yourself when you see those hearings. 202-748-8000 for democrats. 202-748-8001 for republicans. and for independents, 202-748-8002. if you want to comment either on today's hearings or judge gorsuch's first day of confirmation hearings as he's being considered for the skort -- supreme court. jean from california, republican line. thanks for waiting. go ahead. caller: thank you for taking my call. i don't pay that much attention to politics but i've been paying attention recently. and i am astonished. you know, my whole life, republics have been the ones who have been patriots and they and firm against our adversaries. and now we got this putin guy, this k.g.b. guy who wants to restore the supreme soviet. and the republicans are absolutely weak kneed. i don't get it. and i know that there are people who say we should be friends with put

it is really stunning to hear the f.b.i. rector say, you know, investigate some things, but leaks which he says he takes steer yulsly, he was pretty doggone clear when he didn't even know if the number of people whom would have access to that information to like the, that he doesn't even have an investigation underway in all likelihood. what do you think? >> i finds hard to take him serious live at this point. he starts with i can't con flirms an investigation. but let me confirm there is an investigation. i can't correct false statements made in the media but let me respond to the president's tweet. he says it's our poll i have not top respond to false statements made by leakers who don't know what they are talking about but let me respond to this particular thing from the white house. it becomes more about comey and people endangering american citizens by leaking classified information and unmasking people's names. >> i wish we could keep the march madness on the basketball court and out of the u.s. congress. but it doesn't

the f.b.i.'s investigating the possibilities that people around trump were partnering with basically the kremlin maybe indirectly. that's just mind blowing, would be the biggest scandal in american politics in generations. and so that to me is the bigger story. comey saying they're pursuing that line of investigation and subsequently there were some fresh leaks. cnn had a story advancing that a little bit farther. they had a source in the intelligence community or f.b.i. saying that there was evidence that was leading some investigators to believe that this was a real thing that it wasn't just an open question. we're looking at it but they had their teeth into something suggesting there had been some collusion. you just can't even game out the consequences of that being demonstrated. robert: this appearance, this volunteer idea by paul manafort to come before the house intelligence community and the committee in the coming days, it shows that the russia issue continues to linger over the trump ad

inspector,the f.b.i. and we'll be holding a hearing, we're going to explain to you and the world what russia does to democracies all over the world. their toolbox and how they use it. we're going to do two things. we're going to explain to the world what russia does to try to break the back benn of democracy including ours. we're going to make a case why they should be sanctioned. as to trump-russia campaign ties. i have no evidence personally that there are any, but i will insist that the f.b.i. be given full opportunity to look into this without political interference. [applause] ok, next question. >> this question is from emily chandler. mily would you stand up? sen. graham: did you need anything -- need anything else? you're good? ok, who is this? >> this is from emily chandler. sen. graham: emily, where are you at, emily? hey, hemly. >> her question is, given the 2016 south carolina presidential election results, what are your plans to ensure all donald trump's policies and agendas are implemented. se

it happens with the f.b.i. there intelligence collections and sometimes with the central intelligence agency. happens, it is very easy, it is usually very easy to see it as a u.s. person. it is even -- even the name, phone number, context of the discussion. they actually mentioned the persons named so it is easy to see they are talking about a u.s. person or talking to a u.s. person. the first judgment the collecting agency has to make information here of intelligence value we need to disseminate? if the answer to that question is no, then all of that is discarded. but if the answer to that question is yes, there is intelligence value in this conversation, either about a person or with a person, then they disseminate that. i know n.s.a. when it comes to these procedures. that decision about whether to incidental, information that includes incidental collection is a rigorous process at n.s.a. it is not just one person making the decision. it is one person recommending it be disseminated and then check off, check

just last month it was the f.b.i. that declined a request from the white house to push back on reports that there were constant contacts between trump associates and russian operatives. the f.b.i. counterintelligence division is investigating those communications. several trump surrogates are under scrutiny, including former national security adviser mike flynn, one-time campaign chairman paul manafort, foreign policy adviser carter page, and adviser roger stone. >> the likelihood that there is a counterintelligence investigation by the f.b.i. against one or more of those individuals that could, in fact, support a request by the court for a surveillance warrant i think is pretty good. >> reporter: in order to listen in on their conversations, the justice department must provide a federal judge with enough evidence to warrant a wiretap. scott, the president cannot legally order the surveillance. >> pelley: jeff pegues for us tonight. in other news today, the president signed a new travel ban to replace the one that touc

the f.b.i. james comey seemingly shooting down the claims by president trump, that trump tower was wiretapped in the campaign by president obama. the other big one is he confirmed there is an investigation underway whether anyone from trump team coordinated with russia in possibly tampering in the election. all of this is answering perhaps some of the question. a lot can argue swirling for months now. the f.b.i. director said the efforts by the russian were based in part on vladimir putin's hatred for hillary clinton. there his desire for donald trump to beat her. but here, the moment regarding the wiretapping claims. president's statement that obama had his wires tapped in trump tower a true statement? >> with respect to the president's tweets about the alleged wiretapping directed at him by the prior administration i have no information to support the tweets. we have looked carefully inside the f.b.i. the department of justice asked me to share with you that the answer is the same for the depar

the characteristics a and f.b.i. e republic on tactics to make sure we are keeping this country safe. we had to modernize and be ahead of the bad guy hospital want to do bad things. this is another case of this that americans are fine spend money on what the cia and f.b.i. are doing to keep us safe. he's not a friend of the united states of america and it's time the white house makes that clear to him. judge jeanine: you think we should charge him and extradite him? >> we have been trying to extradite him. he's held up in a foreign entity. judge jeanine: here is the bottom line. we have snowden and assange and we have the other guy -- who was that one? who is the other one? toot former military guy. judge jeanine: tell me. they will tell me in a minute. then we find out all this stuff we think is secret. chelsea manning. thank you. all this stuff we think is secret is not. sometimes -- i'm a prosecutor. i'm all-american and all that jazz. but sometimes we need to know about the scrap that's out there and is not protec

it began with the f.b.i. director saying his agency is investigating potential russian attempts to influence the presidential election. scott thuman reports from our capitol hill bureau. scott, this was a busy day. scott: you are right about that. listen, the lawmakers had been demanding that they get sometime with the f.b.i. director james comey not behind closed doors but instead in public and on the record to get to the bottom of the crucial questions. today they certainly got answers. >> director comey, was the president statement that obama tapped his wires in trump tower a true statement? >> i have no information to support the tweets. we have looked inside the f.b.i. scott: quieting one claim and then the f.b.i. dir confirmed another that russia tried to interfere in the 2016 election not with the vote tampering but with leaking information damaging hillary clinton's chances. >> the active measures were taken to help president trump's campaign. they want to hurt our democracy, hurt her, help him. putin

the f.b.i. is investigating whether trump campaign associates colluded with russian operatives. last month, the president fired national security adviser michael flynn, after flynn lied to the vice president about contacts he had with ambassador kislyak. no administration official has been accused of collusion, but questions are being asked about why top trump officials have been evasive in explaining their meetings with ambassador kislyak. jeff pegues has today's developments. >> in retrospect, i should have slowed down and said, "but i did meet one russian official a couple of times." >> reporter: u.s. attorney general jeff sessions said that he would have no involvement in any investigation related to the trump campaign. the announcement came less than a day after sessions acknowledged having two meetings with russian ambassador sergey kislyak last year, something he did not reveal while under oath at at his confirmation hearing when he was questioned by minnesota democrat al franken. >> and i

the f.b.i. has nothing to do with this. e idea he would go to taffiesa court to do this is out of the question. why would he go to a fisa court to get a warrant to do something he has the authority to do. every phone call and every mobile device and land line, every keypad touch and every mobile device and desktop, every piece of digital information that flows into or through the united states in fiberoptics captured in real-time by the nsa. the nsa is in the pentagon. it works for the pentagon it's a military entity. he says i want a transcript of what donald trump said to lou dobbs -- i'm making this up hypothetically -- the transcript shows up on his desk. lou: i watched three days of reporting on this and they didn't hear any major news organization point that out. they also did not hear any representative of president obama at corically -- categorically say there is no way we would have permitted the president of the united states to wiretap, to surveil, to read the emails of a candidate for president. >> the way the in

bama and presumably the f.b.i. of engaging in mccarthyism, as term derstand the mccarthyism, do you think president obama or the f.b.i. such conduct? >> i'm not going to try to characterize the tweets tell you, all i can we have no information that supports them. >> were you engaged in ccarthyism, director comey? in ry hard to to engage sm's of any kind, including mccarthyism. >> is it legal for sitting resident to wiretap president prior to election, turned down by court earlier, new low unquote. comey, can you answer the president's question, would it be legal for president obama order wiretap of donald trump? >> i'm not going to characterize respond to tweets themselves, n general, as admiral rogers, statutory framework in the united states under which courts permission for electronic surveillance in criminal case or onional security case, based showing of probably cause rigorous overseen tis process that involves all three branches of government and one 1970s,ive since the late that is how it works. no individua

to have the f.b.i. director sitting there, man, this should make the american people question what they are hearing coming out of the main stream media during the trump administration. charles: there was a tweet from the *, the real story she thud be looking into is the leaker of classified information. must find the leaker now. the "new york times" uses the term wiretap over and over again which underscores it did happen. >> they say where is the proof of the wiretaps. they talked about wiretaps upon inauguration day. so it's their word, not ours. we are hearing likes that say one thing, then we hear from james clapper that there is no evidence of collusion between the trump people and the russians and senator cotton agreed with that. devin nunes agrees with that. then comey disagrees with that and says i can't tell you what happened. so we are in the dark not know what's up with that. charles: he says most this stuff you are reading is not real it puts us in a bind. we don't trust the "new york times,"

if nothing else, the f.b.i. obviously and the n.s.a.retapped russians, and we might have learned a lot object wiretapping russians. what they might try to do is take stuff like that and say, well, that's what the president really meant. there's a huge difference between the f.b.i. and the n.s.a. tapping russians and president obama tapping president trump. but they're going to try to say he was vindicated. >> but that's what they've been doing for the last week or so. >> redefining what he means. >> yes. it's this process of, well, he didn't mean what you think the literal words say. and to try to back away. but nonetheless, continuing to say that it was president obama who ordered this. >> and will this president continue this defiant tone? you look at his speech in nashville this week. this was classic campaign donald trump. this is someone who is not backing away from this campaign style, this combative political personality. >> well, but bob, it's what got him to the oval office. it is the style and technique he used as a candidate,

even the f.b.i. says there is nothing to support the wiretapping tweet. >> the thought that obama personally crawled into trump tower and laid down the wire, then president trump isn't telling the truth. but the media themselves have been involved in receiving leaks you have surveillance from trump official and others and they have been hatchly spreading these around for months. the idea that you would act aghast when someone says we are being watched. howie: this is not exactly a right-left battle where you would expect the liberal side to beat you have on the president and the right to support him. but' i don't see any way you can talk about his area. there is no way. if any president of the united states accused his predecessor of essentially a felony, that would be big news that should be covered and may result in his area. but there is a reason for it. the "wall street journal" is right to make that editorial. howie: this is one of the few times you agree with the "wall street journal." devin nun

does the f.b.i. generally assume that russian ambassador -- am basses doers to the united states -- ambassadors -- ambassadors to the united states are collecting intelligence on influential americans, especially political leaders? mr. comey: that's not something i can answer in an open setting. ms. sewell: am i right that in the russian playbook, that it's in the russian playbook to use diplomats and business people and russian intelligence officers, whether declared or not, to collect intelligence on influential americans for the purpose of affecting u.s. policy? mr. comey: i can answer as a general matter. nation states that are adversaries of the united states use traditional intelligence officers, sometimes use intelligence officers operating under diplomatic cover, use people we call coop -- could he optees, private citizens, academics, all manner of human beings can be used in an intelligence collection operation. i'm not going to talk about the particular. ms. sewell: would someone like ambass

in that case, the f.b.i. held a press conference and discussed its investigation, the evidence it found, and why it wasn't bringing charges against anyone. attorney general jeff sessions says he will update his senate testimony about his contacts with russia in writing on monday. but, reena, that's unlikely to be enough to put this controversy behind him. >> ninan: and, paula, how has the f.b.i. responded to the president's wiretapping claims? >> reporter: reena, the f.b.i. has not responded to the tweets, and source i have spoken to have been unable to substantiate them, either. >> ninan: paula, thank you. with a string of receipt murder charges in texas, new york, and virginia, a gang known as ms-13, appears to be surging >> reporter: according to houston police, the two young men shown here kidnapped, sexually assaulted, and shot a 15-year-old girl, sacrificing her in the name of satan. >> i think they're just distraught that they've lost their daughter. >> reporter: in court thursday, the accused killers s
