the "washington post" reports the president sought a release of a classified russia memo, despite the doj warning house rpz that doing so would be extraordinarily reckless without official review. written by staff intel chair nunes alleges the fbi may have relied on politically motivated or questionable sources to justify its request for a fisa warrant. a senior administration official tells the "washington post" that trump is inclined to have that memo released. all of the rumors are is will shed light and help investigators come to a conclusion of the john kelly conveyed to attorney general sessions during two conversations this past wednesday, that the president's interest in making this memo public, nbc has not confirmed the "washington post" report. new today, gregory meeks, adding his name to a list of democrats boycotting the state of the union address. here's the new york congressman explaining his decision for the time in an interview with al sharpton just the last hour. >> i'm giving him a chance. i was one in the beginning when he was being inauginaugurated, the president o

there is no indication in "the washington post" report that anyone other than the president and the acting director mccabe were in the oval office for this meeting, which did not go well. the post reports the two men exchanged pleasantries, but before long trump, according to several current around former officials asked andrew mccabe a pointed question. whom did he vote for in the 2016 election? mccabe said he didn't vote. trump, the official, said also vented his anger at mccabe over the several hundred thousand dollars in donations his wife, a democrat received for her failed 2015 virginia state senate bid from a political action committee controlled by a close friend of hillary clinton. mccabe, who has spent more than two decades at the bureau found the conversation with trump disturbing. said one former u.s. official inside the fbi. officials familiar with the exchange expressed frustration that a civil servant, even a very senior agent in the number two position would be asked how he voted and criticized for his wife's political leanings by the president. one person said the trump-mc

this was in the "washington post" just a few days ago. it's about -- do we have that piece? yes, there we go. it's about the head of the specific committee in congress that oversees the state department, foreign affairs committee. trump just nominated to a senior position at the state department the wife of the chairman of that committee that oversees the state department. now, that's not the end of the world. it's a little weird, right? but on a ranking of trump administration norm busting and ethics flouting this would not be a championship contender. yeah, it's weird. the member of congress most responsible for overseeing one of your agencies, you give his wife a plum job at that agency? it's a little weird. i mean, for these guys it's like tuesday. not a big deal. you know. so we have that news a few days ago from "the washington post," then today, just days after we got news of the racist wife getting a job at the state department, we got the very surprising news that congressman, ed royce, the committee chairman, the one whose wife just got that big state department ap

and the washington post is reporting that interview could come within weeks. that is the biggest development not the only one because mueller's investigation has already for the first time reached the president's cabinet. attorney general jeff sessions was questions last wednesday. he didn't discuss it with sessions who was at the white house yesterday. investigators spoke with comey last year. comey was asked about memos he wrote about his interactions with the president. christopher ray threatened to resign under pressure with sessions. all of that ahead. and as the washington post reporting mueller wants to speak with the president himself in the next couple of weeks. what we don't know is if the president will cooperate. here is what he said back in june a day after comey testified when asked if he would be willing to give his version of events under oath. >> 100%. >> so if robert mueller wanted to speak to you about that? >> i would be glad to tell him. >> weeks ago he was asked again and said this. >> we will see what happens. when they have no collusion

i don't respect the type of journalism, the shabby journalism that is being practiced by the "washington postm, shabby journalism. i've used the term character assassination. >> this was their opportunity to discredit the "post," woodward and bernstein and bury the story. >> they came after us. ziegler, the press secretary. so we knew that at that point the stakes were very high and we were the targets. >> all i know is that the story that ran this morning is incorrect -- >> we made a mistake. we [ bleep ] up. we had an intellectual understanding of the facts of the story and haldeman's role in watergate, but what was in the "washington post" was untrue. we should not have allowed that to happen. >> i was angry at myself and carl and how we got it wrong. and we thought maybe we are going to have to resign, maybe we should resign. i mean, we were kind of at the end of our rope. >> for woodward and bernstein the path to the truth had just gotten longer and harder. in y. i learned that my ten times great grandmother is george washington's aunt. within a few days i went from knowing almost nothin

flynn according to the "washington post" is part of the line of questioning, that's interesting. we should not forget that flynn has pled guilty to a federal crime and it is now believed he is cooperating with mueller. >> so that's the christopher wray reporting about replacing the number two. what's interesting, we don't have to wait for any explosive expose of any secret meeting where president trump made it clear that he wanted mccabe fired. he's been tweeting it for several months. his wife ran for the state legislature in the commonwealth of virginia. she got a lot of help from the former governor terry mcauliffe who is friends with the clintons and for that reason there's been a lot of impugning of his character and whether or not he was compromised. but it is interesting that wray was pressured, according to our reporting, pressured to fire mccabe and he said no. you'll have to fire me first. and then sessions backed off. >> right. and it is a sign that he is probably in the right position. trump picked him and i appreciate that. this whole thing, as you were saying, what

the abc "the washington post" has a 12% spread, nbc 39.ll street journal" just 6 point spread, but still abadvantage for the democrats. what do we read into this at this point? >> this is a generic ballot question that tries to get a sons on which direction the public is going in a part sein way. leaving out the names of the members of congress, forgetting about your congressional district, who's in congress, just who do you want to see active, republicans or democrats. so we see the democrats with the significant damage but the devil is in the difference in this case. it's not unusual the president's party runs at a disadvantage in midterm elections, but the difference is in the nbc wall street the margin is 6 and the abc-post-is 12. if it's 12 points, it's likely the democrats will take the house of representatives. if it's 6, we would have to look more district by district and i think the democrats might fall short at plus 6. i think the direction of the electorate now and we'll see how that changes in the next ten months and whether pe

thanks to the "the washington post" and any other sponsors. we appreciate this platform today. the president is working on this speech, it's a reflection on the past year's accomplishments, but also the accomplishments not as just checking a box, a to-do list, but really what is the nexus between what has happened and your own life on to or your own business or your own aspirations and how is that a framework for working together in 2018? i would point out a few things. they're pretty recent. one is about two, three weeks ago now, the president held forth for 55 minutes, uninterrupted, undeterred, unscripted with a bipartisan, bicameral group of legislators in the cabinet room. it was quite unexpected. i think mainly by the media, the press pool, who were covering it, and by all accounts we're pleased to have that kind of transparency and live, again, unfiltered and unscripted exchange between the president and the legislators. that's good for transparency, accountability, democracy, really. and it's that kind of conversation we need to keep having. that particular issue was ab
