carolina, mark warner, the advice chair, democrat mike warner. should be stepping to the microphone as well. lots of reaction on twitter. we'll look at some of those. to let you know our schedule as well. we'll take some phone calls, get your reaction and show a good portion of the hearing that just wrapped up. you can have appointment viewing, if you will, on c-span 2. we'll show you the entire hearing on c-span 2 tonight at 8:00 p.m. >> 202-4748-8922. the knew reporting. washington post, jeff sessions testifies, refuses to say whether he spoke to trump. from the l.a. times -- 6 some of the earlier reporting and we'll look for your comments on twitter as well. jeff sessions, the toen, his he before the judiciary committee, january 10th of this year, so it's been some five months since he's been back before a committee on capitol hill. that was a bit of contention as his deputy rod rosenstein did testify today on the budget for the department of justice for 20818. he said deputy si rosenstein was asked about that in several of those hearings -- we'll show you that later in the program

house, and what work did you do? caller: i worked for john warner, secretary of the navy. host: republican former senator from virginia. caller: that's right. he was chairman of the bicentennial commission that i was a historian on. host: under president ford? caller: under president nixon and ford. a democrat. they hired democrats in those days, believe it or not. host: what kind of work are you doing today? caller: i'm semiretired, but i still teach. i teach every other semester in florida. host: ok. final question, given the fact you are a history professor. there is an op-ed in "the washington post," in tomorrow's page, " i helped prosecute watergate, commies statement is sufficient evidence for an obstruction of justice case." is there a comparison to watergate here? caller: no, because obviously if you read the presidential transcripts from watergate, there is obstruction of justice. trump said things that he shouldn't have said, obviously. but did he try to obstruct the investigation? that's a stretch. that's a long stretch. it is not there. as alan dershowitz has said,

, mark mark warner. i will do my best to answer your questions. >> general sessions, thank you. thank you for the testimony. i like to note that the chairman and the vice chairman will be reckoned as for 10 minutes and others will be recognized for five. i like to recognize that we are in open session. no reference eyes to class fighters sensitive information should be used relevant to your questions. i recognize myself for 10 minutes. general sessions, you talked about the mayflower hotel where the president gave his first foreign policy speech, it has been covered in this process that you were there and others were there. from your testimony, you said you do not remember whether investor sergey kislyak was there, the russian investor. is that correct? >> att gen sessions: i did not remember that. i understand, he was there. i do not doubt that he was. i believe that representations are correct. in fact, i recently saw a video of him coming into the room. >> you never remember having a conversation or meeting with investor sergey kislyak. >> att gen sessions: no. >> was there ever a

vice chairman democrat mark warner, throughout the course of his opening remarks, warner noted that two states in the 2016 election, illinois and arizona acknowledged that they did have evidence that the russians had tried to access voter roles. let's be clear about this. this is the internet system that is used by election boards. voting machines themselves are not connected to the internet. repeatedly appear on capitol hill intelligence officials reveal that no election voting the hacking instances that they've been looking into with regard to the election. but warner said this. he said, that he wants the department of homeland security to release all and any information he has about additional states that may have had their election information attacked. why that is important in raying eyebrows here on capitol hill, as the vice chairman of the senate intelligence committee, mark warner has a vast access to different kinds of information and there have been media reports in the past 48 hours that as many as 39 states may have had some sort of an attempt to gain information about w

he might have. senator warner: i want to thank the way we are proceeding. mr. attorney general, good to see you again. and we appreciate your appearance on the heels of mr. comey's revealing testimony last week. i want to take a moment at the outset and first express some concern with the process by which we are seeing you, the attorney general, today. it's my understanding that you were originally to testify in front of the house and senate appropriations committees today. i know they have been canceled to come here instead. while we appreciate your testimony before our committee, i believe and i speak -- i believe i speak for many of my colleagues, i believe you should answer questions from members of those committees and the judiciary committee as well. it is my hope you will reschedule those appearances as soon as possible. in addition, while we consider your appearance today as just the beginning of our interaction with you and your department, mr. attorney general, we had always expected to talk to you as part of our investigation. we believe it would be later in the process. w

be joined stein by senator mark warner of virginia is going to join us live. this will, i think ever be his first-ever interview on "the rachel maddow show" particular with the breaking news in "the washington post." as of tonight there are two high-ranks officials from the trump for president campaign who have had to register retroact e retroactively as agents of a foreign power. first was mike flynn, he resigned in february as national security adviser, just 3 1/2 weeks into the new administration. he resigned when "the washington post" reported on contacts and conversations he had had with russian government officials, that he had either not disclosed or he had publicly lied about them. we later learned that the acting attorney general of the united states had gone to the white house physically herself in the first week of the indeed administration to warn that mike flynn had been compromised by the russian government, he was vulnerable to russian blackmail or coercion, basically because russia had proof of all their contacts with him and what he had been saying in his communicati

abroad. my colleague senator warner and i have worked to stay in lockstep on this investigation. we've had our differences. on approach, at times. but i've constantly stressed we need to be a team. i think senator warner agrees with me. we must keep these questions above politics and partisanship. it's too important to be tainted by anyone trying to score political points. with that, i welcome you, director and i turn to the vice chairman for any comments he might have. >> let me start by thanking all the members of the committee for the seriousness for which they've taken on this task. mr. comey, thank you for agreeing to come testify as part of this committee's investigation into russia. i realize that this hearing has been obviously, the focus of a lot of washington in the last few days. the truth is, many americans who may be tuning in today probably haven't focused on every twist and turn of the investigation. so i'd like to briefly describe, at least from this senator's standpoint, what we already know, and what we're still investigating. to be clear, this investigation is not ab

time warner. will purchase time warner for an estimated eighty five billion dollars if the justice department approves an antitrust case in the next sixty days according to the report. believe c.n.n. might be too much of a liability with its recent bad press so for more on this we're joined now by legal and media analyst. media why don't my first first let's break this up here. the merger with time warner tell us what that means to the average consumer. well anybody who is the consumer of news must understand. the entire beginning and end of this issue is that merger we're talking about journalism we're laughing about and nothing burger but as far as in the hallowed halls of a time warner the only thing they're thinking about is that eighty five billion dollar merger and c.n.n. if that poses a roadblock if jeff zucker poses and impediment they're gone expurgated removed excised frozen moved up stairs laterally the last thing in the world. cares about is some piddly pain in the you know what news organization their goal is entertainment now what's also interesting from the consumer

warner actually offered to give one of them more time to consider how badly he had damaged the dem narrative, and political hopes. >> a washington post report out today claimed that president trump asked director of national e national intelligence to convince then comey to back off his investigation into national security adviser general flynn, that report in post, unfortunately for dem's favorite activist newspaper was knocked down and rebutted in early minutes of the hearing by the very officials named in the post article, the dems were down cast as nation's top intelligence officials today agreed that they never felt pressured by the trump administration to intervene an investigation on possible russian collusion with the trump campaign. >> to the best of my recollection, i have never been directed to do anything i believe to be illegal, immoral, unethical or inappropriate. >> i never felt pressure to intervene, or interfere in anyway in shaping intelligence in a political way. lou: acting fbi director andrew mccabe stood by his testimony in may there has been no effort by the

question, i want to point out what you're watching on the left-hand side of your screen, we do warner to make some comments imminently. we are going to go to those comments live, the chair and vice chair of the senate intelligence committee. eamon, i'm struck. whether you decide whether there were any bombshells today will largely depend on what side of the political aisle you fall on. >> sure. you've got to look at the politics of this committee. the senate intelligence committee is traditionally more bipartisan than other committees on the hill, but you have to look at the reaction of the senators up there on the republican side because ultimately it will be republicans who control both the house and the senate who decide what all of this means in terms of whether to move forward with any case against the president of the united states. it was striking to me how solicitous so many of the republicans were toward mr. comey, not an effort to defame him or call into question his credibility. there were some who wanted to go back and talk about the clinton e-mail issue and some other issues

and now we have this. how about that? 10:00 eastern, democrat senator mark warner, off he goes and the comey testimony, warner is going it compare the hearings today to watergate. you will hear it. a bar in d.c., as in washington, opening for a comey viewing. and every time trump tweets about comey, drinks are on the house. we'll talk about comey in just a moment. dearthere's no other way to say this. it's over. i've found a permanent escape from monotony. together, we are perfectly balanced. our senses awake. our hearts racing as one. i know this is sudden, but they say...if you love something set it free. see you around, giulia will you be ready when the moment turns romantic? cialis for daily use treats ed and the urinary symptoms of bph. tell your doctor about your medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, or adempas® for pulmonary hypertension, as this may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess. to avoid long-term injury, get medical help right away for an erection lastin

absolutely a theme. time warner owns cnn, kathy griffin situation just two weeks ago, they are forced to let her go 24 hours later. they also own hbo and belmar just ten days ago on that program interviewing a republican senator said that he was a house and wanted and he had to apologize. hbo didn't suspend him, there was no threat of boycott. hbo featured a severed head on "game of thrones" of president bush. when you quote to raise is mine. cnn releases a statement that he's not an employee of the network even though he hosted the show. a week later they were forced to fire the employee and he's gone. time warner has an opportunity to say that we don't agree with any production that assassinates any president, trump, obama, bush, it doesn't matter, instead they appear to be sticking by, like "the new york times" ," who also sponsors it in central park. they have in common, a harvard study about two weeks ago shows that cnn is number one in terms of negative coverage of drum, 93% negative. "new york times" is number three. 87% negative. it shows me they not only disagree with the pre

something illegal, immoral or anything else. >> shannon: the ranking member there, senator warner, seemed to indicate he didn't feel like he had gotten good answers from the folks who testified yesterday. is it settled for you from what you heard yesterday? >> it is not settled. this is an ongoing investigation going on for sometime. i think what's lost in all this is that this hearing today is part of that. it was decided to do it publicly to try to answer some questions for the american people. again, with all due respect to my good friend and colleague from virginia, mark warner, he wasn't listening. those guys said very directly, very clearly that they had never been pressured by the white house or the president or anyone else to do anything illegal, immoral or unethical. now, they don't want to accept that but it was crystal clear what those guys said. >> shannon: what is your number one questions for former f.b.i. director comey today? >> with all due respect you only have to wait an hour for that. but he has laid out his testimony. i think that he has done an outstanding job in tho

. thank you, mr. chairman, ranking member warner. great honor to appear before you today and i will do my best to answer your questions. >> thank you for that testimony. foruld like to note members, the chair and the vice chairman will be recognized for 10 minutes. members will be recognized for five minutes. i would like to remind our members that we are in open session. no references to classify or committee sensitive materials should be used relative to your questions. with that, i recognize myself at this time for 10 minutes. sessions, you talked about the mayflower hotel, where the president gave his first foreign-policy speech, and it's been covered in the press that the president was there and you and others were there. saidyour testimony, you you don't remember whether the russian ambassador was there, is that correct? i did not sessions: remember that, but i understand he was there, and so i don't doubt that he was. i recently saw a video of him coming into the room. >> but you never remember having a conversation or meeting with the ambassador? atty. gen. sessions: i do not. >>

capitol hill today. that's senator mark warner. he has just-- he's just making his opening statement. what of importance has he just said, elizabeth. liz: he's going to ask deputy attorney general rod rosenstein about his role in the comey firing. did the president ask you to intervene with fbi director-- former fbi director james comey to say layoff on mike flynn and asking director of national intelligence dan coates, the same and mike pompeo did the president ask him to intervene to ask james comey to layoff flynn. and three, mike pompeo has been added to the list with dan coates and rosenstein, actually, four. stuart: did he ask them to intervene. those are the questions, we'll hear the answers when we get them. >> i want to go to the london terror attack. police have recovered an eighth body from the river thames. this is british prime minister theresa may, she's ready to rip up-- well, certainly change laws to impose new restrictions on terror suspects, listen to this. >> i mean long are prison -- longer prison sentences for those convicted of terrorist offenses, easi

public eye. >> i believe that was senator mark warner that came up and shook his hand there he is, senator mark warner on the left, blue shirt and tie, these are many of his former colleagues, probably many of his friends in a way that are going to be grilling, questioning, what ever word you want to use jeff sessions. >>> as the senator was with comey the other day too. >> listen, these senators, they have to do their job, a lot of them up for free election. they got to figure out what's going on back home, their ear is to the ground and the senate is a cleejall body most of the time so yeah, it'll be what it will be, they'll ask the questions and sessions is going to answer them i have great confidence in jeff sessions, knowing him very well but i don't have all the information. >> okay. and the gavel has been hit they are calling it to order let us go now live to washington, d.c >> attorney general sessions appreciate your willingness to come before the competent today. i thank you for your years and dedicated service of this body and your recent leadership at the director of j

their support, not time warner though, that is a parent company of cnn. they fired griffin last month for posing with the blood he severed head, so why is it still sponsoring this outrage? one of its stars is even encouraging people to go see the play. calling it a masterpiece. you should note the 2012 version of caesar in minnesota featured an actor dressed like president obama in the title role. >> very good. >> it is more than just political pornography, i believe it is more than that. i think under the guise of art, there is something that they want to see happen, do you agree or disagree? >> greg: i want to defend him. i do not think that he actually saw the play, he overheard someone else and copied him. >> jesse: are you referring to the plagiarism scandal? >> greg: maybe i am. >> jesse: i wanted to make sure that the audience knew. not everyone knows. >> greg: look, the one thing that you don't want to fall into this fault of equivalency thing, it was done before with president obama in 2012, however, no one talked about it because no one really noticed i it, i think his

set. that's a positive for the warner brothers. they fostered a culture if you see something, say something. the producer did speak up right then. the other interesting thing other than the entire thing was record is that issue of the third party coming in. it's not that she voilssed the lack of consent. which she did. but the trigger is the producer at the time. the contracts are pretty ironclad. jesse: you sign your life away when you go on these shows and anything that happens on the set usually winds up on the air. she released assault saying as woman his is my worst nightmare and it's now become my reality. you know, everybody feels terrible for what happened. it looks like they could have a serious lawsuit on their hands. a guilty verdict for this woman who texted her boyfriend to kill himself. >> i now finds you guilty on the indictment charge you with the involuntary manslaughter of the person conrad boyd iii. jesse: she was dating this guy and he was suicidal and she is texting him to do it. and was running the car and she said get back in the car. i think she was charged

taking a harder line. >>> i'll talk to senator mark warner of the senate intelligence committee. also specialists are standing by. first let's go to pentagon correspondent barbara starr with the north korea threat. barbara, we are hearing new urgency from the national security advisor. >> reporter: good evening, wolf. the language tougher, growing more ushlgt. a couple days ago president trump said the north korea threat might have to be dealt with rapidly. that's the president's words. now we know why. cnn can report that two defense officials say military options have recently been updated and are ready for the president if he were to make a decision to proceed with military action. they are ready because now the u.s. is watching very carefully every ballistic missile test, the possibility of an underground nuclear test, and watching all of this to see when north korea is able to make some significant advance in its ability to have a weapon that could attack the united states. national security advisor general h.r. mcmaster laying it all out just a short time ago. >> the threat is m

to my knowledge. it would be against the law. >> thank you. >> senator warner. >> again, i want to thank all the witnesses, but i come out of this hearing with more questions then when i went in. gentlemen, were both willing to somehow characterize your conversations with the president. you didn't feel pressure, but you would ensure the content. in the case of admiral rogers, we will have an independent third-party who will provide some level of contemporaneous description of that conversation and why there were concerns enough to commit that to writin writing. i'm pretty frustrated that there is this deference to the special prosecutor even though the special prosecutor has not talked to you. i'm concerned that the deputy attorney general also deference to the special prosecutor, but there doesn't seem to be -- we are committed to making sure that we are appropriate. we don't seem to have is the same commitment to find out whether the president of the united states try to intervene directly with leaders of our intelligence community and asked them to back off or downplay. you test

ongoing efforts to undermine democratic institutions amongst our closest allies. senator warner: at this point i believe we have a good understanding of the russian playbook. russia's goal is to sow chaos and confusion to fuel internal disagreements and to undermine democracies whenever possible. really, to cast doubt on democracy wherever it exists. there's nothing new about russia with these kinds of efforts, they date back to the cold war. but their blatant interference in the 2016 presidential election was unprecedented in both scale and scope and we've seen it replicated across europe. in fact, russia's measures are only going bolder and more brazen in the digital age. russia has interfered or intends to -- attempted to interfeern in leches from france to the netherlands from the balkans to the baltic. we've seen his use of many measures, including support for parties, and foor left opposed to historical institutions. russia provided support and financial assistance to the far right party of he pen in france in a -- of le pen in france in a blatant way. they've launched attacks on g

, thank you so much. >>> with me is the vice chair of the senate intelligence committee mark warner. thank you for coming in this morning. it's the third terrorist attack in the uk in the last ten weeks. they claimed the lives of 34 innocent victims. what can you tell us? what do we know about the perpetrators of last night's attacks. is there any risk to americans now beyond the normal risk? >> i received a brief this morning from our national center of counter terrorism center, and basically they have the same information you've gotten. they still don't know whether it was terrorist inspired or terrorist directed. whether it was home grown or actually directed by isis or al qaeda. i think that will take longer in terms of investigation. there's no specific threat against the united states. but obviously we've seen it hit three times. so thoughts and prayers go out to them. what you're seeing in britain is a resoluteness and recognition that as the british went through three decades of terrorism, they'll carry o-on, i think in many ways that's what we need to do here. >> thaisa may

democratic senator mark warner. he has a lead in the polls against two republican opponents including cory stewart who was the trump campaign virginia chairman. that happening right now today across the river in virginia. michael is in laurel park new york, line for democrats. caller: i was hoping to catch the guy before you he was throwing out a lot of false information about germany paying their fair share and other countries paying fair share. we're the ones who start the wars. their gdp, obama asked them to chip in more. bush did too. trump administration, they got their people all over the tv this morning cnbc, fox and cnn. i would imagine they're going opass up a bill health bill. i wanted to tell you about a story about trump. i've known trump since 70 something. host: how did you know him? caller: my first exposure to him was him hiring to get old lead kicked out a rent stabilized apartment in new york city. he threatened her and get her kicked out. he's been doing it since 1970's. host: were you related to the person? caller: no i wasn't. it was a story. new york newspapers here b

member warner to allow me to publicly appear before your committee today. i appreciate the committee is critically important efforts to investigate russian interference with our democratic process. such interference can never bene tolerated and i encourage every effort to get to the bottom of any such allegations. as you know the deputy attorney general has appointed a special counsel to investigate thespecil matter related to the russians interference in the 201616 election. i am here today to address t several issues that have beenen specifically raised before this committee.ty and i appreciate the opportunity to respond to questions as fully as the lord enables me to do so but as i advise you mr. chairman in consistent with the department of justice i cannot and will not violate my duty to protect the confidential communication i have with the president. now let me address some issues directly. i did not have any private meetings nor do i recall anyconv conversations between any russian officials at the mayflower hotel. i did not attend any meetings at that event or separate. prio

. lou: you watch senator burr, and you watch mark warner, the ranking member, what is your reaction when these men who are playing as if they were in some sort of broadway play, don't even respond to what are the facts. and they continue the fiction that this president, somehow there is some evidence of collusion with the russians. there is some obstruction of justice. >> i was listening on the radio and i couldn't tell who were the republicans and who were the democrats. i thought it was disgraceful. there was no question about what i think is one of the biggest scandals in the united states. that was the unmasking of thousands of names. where did they think the general's name came from. why would they appoint a special counsel who is at least two, three decade friend of jim comey's? lou: for whom comey worked. why didn't the republicans object even a little bit. >> they didn't say one word. what is going on in washington. he might do the right thing, but the f.b.i. has to be looked at. what role did comey play in the unmasking. >> i don't know. his testimony from time to time when

other end of the break. we'll hear from senator warner who calls the key take-away from the hearing and we will share what they both had to say after this. >> we will talk about the beautiful weather pattern developing around the area. it's gorgeous outside now. but a heatwave is on the way. we will lay out the timing, the number and the impact still to come at "abc7 news at 6:00 did you know slow internet can actually hold your business back? say goodbye to slow downloads, slow backups, slow everything. comcast business offers blazing fast and reliable internet that's over 6 times faster than slow internet from the phone company. say hello to internet speeds up to 250 mbps. and add phone and tv for only $34.90 more a month. call today. comcast business. built for business. nendorses dr. wralph northam. mr. northam uld make the better governor. and virginia progressives agree. ralph northam is the only candidate who stood up to the nra after the virginia tech shooting. dr. northam led the fight to stop the republicans' transvaginal ultrasound law. ralph is a leader for education, ex

opening remarks. he'll be followed by mark warner, the ranking democrat on the panel. and then burr and warner will ask about ten minutes of questions each. and after that each senator will have about five minutes to ask questions. there's john mccain, of course, the senator from arizona. jeff pegues, we talk a great deal of course about the president, as we would, but the investigation is much broader than that. >> it certainly is. as we look at john mccain, the senator from arizona, he's someone who has outlined in sometimes fairly sobering terms the importance of this investigation. and he continues to say in almost every interview that he does this there is "another shoe to drop" from this centipede. he is aware of what the 17 intelligence agencies have concluded, and that is that the russians interfered in the election according to these intelligence agency, and they have high confidence in that assessment. that's something that james comey mentioned, as well. so this is a broad f.b.i. counterintelligence investigation that also includes, of course, looking into whether there was c

investigation. comey went on to say that there is no evidence of collusion, just as mark warner, the ranking member of the senate intel committee, set on the sunday talk shows. like i said earlier about senator -- sorry, not senator anymore -- attorney general sessions' testimony today, i expect it will dampen many concerns. i don't think there's much risk to the white house here. i think all in all it is going to be a little bit boring, and those folks inside the beltway will parse it a great deal. and i am a lawyer. i parse language, too, to see what is really meant. but to the american public, i think this is going to be an exercise in openness that is not very enlightening and does not provide much more in the way of new concerns. scarlet: so as part of that do you believe the attorney general will he be answering the questions straight on -- will be invoking executive privilege or answering the questions straight on? answer them straight on as much as he can. when you get to invoking executive religion, that is something you would rather not do. the questions have to be pretty f

all this and other things russia related with senator mark warner, the ranking democrat on the senate intelligence committee. senator warner, today it was reported that michael flynn had been inside classified briefings by the director of the cia after cia officials became aware that, perhaps, michael flynn had been compromised. should the cia be accountable for this? >> i'm very concerned. i've seen these press reports, but i think i owe it to cia director pompeo and other officials at the cia to ask them directly about the truth of those reports before i take a position. >> well, didn't you ask him directly what he testified in front of your committee and he would not say whether he knew about the red flags raised about michael flynn? >> we did ask those questions. we'll have a chance to talk to director pompeo in the next couple of days and i hope to get some more clear answers. >> if he did know, if the direct i did know, we frankly at this point do not know if he knew that, but if he tdid know and went on to brief the president with michael flynn in the room, would that cause you
