years ago, 13 years ago, 2005, they had a really interesting standoff with the russian government for a very specific reason. international republican institute in 2005, their office in moscow basically got shivved in what appeared to be an inside job. it was the spring of 2005. the head of the fsb, so the head of the successor agency to the kgb, he got up in front of the russian parliament, the duma, and the head of the fsb made a totally unexpected hair on fire speech denouncing the international republican institute and their office in moscow, blaming them for fomenting unrest across russia, accusing them of trying to overthrow the russian government. it was this blistering out of nowhere attack on this american organization. but then there was one really scary part of it. in his speech, if his denunciation of this american group in the russian parliament, the head of the fsb didn't just criticize them. in criticizing them he basically quoted from what had just happened a few weeks earlier when that organization had held a private retreat for its employees. this is like if somebody

previously unreported invoement, "during the campaign ivanka connected herfa russian athlete who offered to introduce donald trump to vladimir to facilitate the trump tower moscow project." according to buzzfeed, details on ivanka trump's interactions with this russian have been scrutinized by the senate intelligence committee and by robert mueller's investigators at the special counsel's office. it's not clear where that might be going, but at the very least, quote, the contacts reveal that even as her father was campaigning to become president of the united states, ivanka with aussian who offeredhael to arrange a meeting with one of the u.s.'s adversaries in order to help close a business deal that could have made the trump family millions of dollars. and all of the armchair psychiatrists among us have long argued that this president is particularly aggravated and can be particularly unnerved by any potential scandal or trouble involving his kids, particularly involving his eldest daughter, ivanka. that expectation alone just puts kind of a silent exclamation inoneaine ke this

ball rolling again to discuss that i'm now joined by legendary soviet and russian hockey player just off it he said it's tough it's great on a talking to you thank you very much for your time thank you now russia usually takes pride in being a great nation but i think we are much humbler when it comes to football i mean and here we are securing two wins in the walled compound hosting what many describe as a relatively well put together tournament what gives you more joy so far the quality of the game or the quality of our going to zation i think the. world cup itself when you are going to. such a huge. should realize tonight this is the france for the people in the first place on a woman come from around the world to enjoy the game of course it's. its success of the game itself especially. let me pick up on that because i think the russian national team has been the by. if many bitter jokes that reach usually center on the point that the players get lots of money but don't work hard enough how is it possible that the team that has been disappointing for so long suddenly all of a sudd

russian operative and washington post says how crazy is a russian? your responses is the money for the info waste of time anything interesting? can you explain what this is about? the one absolutely. a longtime associate of mine asked to meet with the gentleman it turns out not his real name because the information that he said he wanted to pass on to the trunk campaign. with the last time fbi informant but jesus to say i declined the information in even if i did i wouldn't use it to buy political information. so i said you really don't understand he doesn't take political information i have reported this meeting now that my memory has been refreshed to the house intelligence committee as a 20 minutes even mr. greenberg confirms there was no transaction and i declined. now knowing the extensive background it is clear to me it is a sting operation with that trumpet effort or compromiseel donald trump himself i did not recall that to give my entire recollection to the house intelligence to make that characterization is that you did not disclose to federal investigators. is that your

was pretty salient that you said coming into 2017 the administration inherited a failed russian reset, a conflict in ukraine causing 10,000 lives already, a failed red line in syria, the largest migration wave in recent european history, and an eu navigating the first secession, and these are some enormous challenges. we still face them. new challenges are growing every day. i'm 63 years old. i really can't remember a world that seems to be so destabilize. so many threats coming from so many different directions, so i think this will be a pretty interesting conversation today, and again i appreciate your willingness to testify. we know turn it over to ranking member murphy. >> thank you mr. chairman. as i hope you know, i tell visitors into my office from europe regularly how lucky we have that you have chosen to take up this very difficult assignment. i want to congratulate you on recent good news with the deal between greece and macedonia hopefully paving the way for macedonia to join european institutions, and i thank you for your willingness to serve. that being said, we had a nom

couple from my office. judgment, no call whatsoever about what of the russian meddling that we reported had any impact on the outcome of the election. on the 20th of january at noon, i left the government as the dark -- as the director of national intelligence and over time, in light of what has since been revealed, and my own reflections amount the massive effort with the rush -- that the particularly, various sophisticated and broad gauge use of social media and the fact that the election was turned on about 80,000 votes, to foolish to think that the russians did not have a profound impact and probably turned it. that is an informed opinion and it -- and is not an indictment or criticism of anyone who voted for credit -- for mr. trump. it is a criticism of the russians. one of the reasons i wrote the to do my part to try to educate the public as to the threat the russians pose. host: you mentioned that he left office on january 20, 2017. in your book, you write about how you spent those last couple of hours as director of national intelligence. i went to afe and brunch at david cohen'

moscow's luzhniki stadium to get the tournament underway and it seems across the russian capital and beyond have been quite exuberant. these are pictures from the very heart of moscow right next to the kremlin and as you can see the parting went on late into the evening. and the world cup spirit even reached the u.n. security council diplomats showed up at the headquarters in new york wearing their national team kits they posed for photos and even played in provides a match with secretary general antonio gutierrez taking the role of referee in the ambassadors were there to watch the opening ceremony and the game between russia and saudi arabia. and dubai is getting into the world cup spirit here you can see the burj khalifa skyscraper the world's tallest building a lit up with the russian flag and also the five zero scoreline from the opening game. here in moscow our special studio on top of the four seasons hotel was overlooking the celebrations here's our team with the daily highlights. i am . yes hello again and why russia has a magical stop here i'm off base the way the saudis be

his history as an officer in russian intelligence. that theyvil villains were portray during the entire time of the soviet union. but when russia collapsed, their strategic objectives never collapsed. they just became rich, a consumer-oriented country and their objectives to place themselves at the center of the political universe arise from the number three superpower position because russia is a poor country. they have nuclear weapons. that and trying to find a cultural identity is what vladimir putin latched onto and pushed. russia is a traditionally conservative nation and they are becoming by their own reckoning the center of christian conservatives and in the world -- conservativism in the world. opposed tolways been that. mission is to realize the global access of washington in european capitals to break that link, get rid of the atlantic alliance that has existed since the end of world war ii and reorient it from moscow from the european capitals to washington. host: you write, "once kgb, always kgb." tell the viewers about your expertise. guest: i come from the naval int

protests in ukraine and the russian invasion of ukraine and i was spending time during that sabbatical year in ukraine trying to explain russia and ukraine in particular the north carolina which cyber and propaganda were structuring the way we in other words what straightforward events like revolutions and wars. and i remember hitting the town back then about four years ago, a little bit less, and thinking, wow, these people don't know what hit them. i have to say i still think that. and that's one of the reasons why i wrote the book and one reason why i'm here now. so, it's -- i think this is one of these moments where you bring what you got, and what i have is history, what i have is historyingography, historical analysis so she road town freedom in every single respect, except for the fact it's about 2010, in every single respect is an degree aggressively traditional, aggressively conservatives history book. it's based on a huge amount of primary source research across five or six or seven languages, obsessively an know tated and it makes an argument that takes place over

think those are universal values, and most certainly those were values that i thought many russians wanted to embrace. you don't think, now that we have seen history unfold over the last two decades, you don't think that there was a degree of naivete in that view, and also perhaps a misunderstanding of some vital elements in the russian character?” wouldn't call it that. was i overly optimistic about the transition process ? optimistic about the transition process? may be that. you know, i lived there in 1992, at the height of optimism about russia joining the west. and if i look back then, and i actually write about it in the book, we didn't do enough to try to help them make that transition. i think that was our greatest mistake, we in the west, because we did have a bit of triumphalism back then. we thought it was the end of history, as my colleague wrote, he is at sta mford as my colleague wrote, he is at stamford now, but he wrote it back then, and so he thought everybody was going tojustjoin then, and so he thought everybody was going to justjoin the liberal democratic world

negativity in the russian press but he says that we get all that russia will win. if i was. checkers of i hope by sharing isn't a not so not so wrong i'll be happy because. no expectations no positivity no optimism everybody expects the world and it can be in this moment in his or tell me this year's preparing everybody for that. for their country pride well let's put that let's do it for the country let's do it for ourselves let's do it against the ones that don't believe in don't believe in so i think can be can be a good thing for them you want my personal opinion i give them my personal opinion i think that is a little bit of identity crisis in the russian team we are used at least i think my generation used to have. the russian teams with a certain identity i think they lost a little bit of that identity that in the search of that talent is not in men's. but they have enough they have enough to win tonight they have enough to those through the the group phase and of course later you will get the teams more talented with the probably the best the best teams in you know the best t

the fans are already out in force. a team of russian artists me to find their own way to welcome players they created mosaic port traits of football stars lionel messi and mohamed salah good only it took them two months and sixty kilos a stone to create works we asked them about their inspiration. but not something that i'm in for these are i can see a world travel one of them a steal of raising started this is messy and this is a law which is now because they are the most popular at the moment of course they will not visit us there are many fans come here who know them and will be pleased to see them and be photographed next to them at project which are not so with players and fans ready for kickoff is also another group playing a crucial role in the upcoming event says the referees take on this fee for world cup including video assistant technology new and design to help them make the right decisions so we what we want to use technology and we have to use technology only in the moments that is really needed if the human aspect was completed. this that means that if we know exac

this program here but you know breaking the russians on board the chinese on board certainly elements of the south korean political leadership by i agree with mark is going to be the deep state that's going to be very hesitant but this is creating a momentum and anyone that's involved in negotiations and particularly donald trump of the art of the deal no one wants to. have the perception out there that they didn't follow through and i think this is part of the dynamic that is being played out right now go ahead alex jogging about lament and let's talk about this of some that. deep state people like bolts are deliberately trying to sabotage the qin slump summit that was why they were bringing up this business about libya that was why all those drills happened and yet in spite of all of that inspired to drum up say the summit is cooled off the summit is back on and the reason it is back all is because the koreans the two careers responded want to talk to each other and that is the momentum but mark is absolutely right there are all sorts of people who don't like this japan might want t

self has been head coach of the russian national team for nearly two years the fifty four year old took over after russia was knocked out of your a twenty sixteen in france one call from the kremlin and the job was his but while managing the sport high at the world cup on home turf is a national honor it will be no light undertaking to read a shrake. once the furthermost flaked. stubble woodstock. stanislav salaam of it chess off transferred from spa tech moscow to denominate tasted in one thousand nine hundred three he didn't speak a word of german at the time danny as he's known for sure remembers the struggles during his first days in germany or. on the mountain i claim it was even. under the chest of the russian team has undergone plenty of change they no longer resided luxury hotels opting instead to stay in the former soviet sports complex built for the nine hundred eighty and then picked games twenty kilometers outside of moscow. this massive facility is also where they're based during the world cup. here in more modest scorches chesnoff tries to bring the players who earn m

earlier there is a quality to russians of you know get everything together when they need but they also have a tendency of relaxing when the pressure is a little bit lighter how do you sustain performance at. the board but this is the mission and i have they understand. why they're here and what they can game this is the easier when they get together defocus and then that is i'll tell them it's no time to relax it's time to get. all your skill set or you and i and the one think and once and play for each other it's sort of us was. unbelievable feeling was on the one of the russian channels should do for the two years young kids among the twenty two twenty three right now how they develop as a player what kind of. situation they're out to overcome to become the national team players and of course and i when you see the situation and then just them all together when truth is probably their child's i bill lifetime chance to do it to be successful now. obviously are not only allowed in their player you were also a very successful coach and he mentioned. russian national coach mr chess

bit of a different tale to tell i think the the work of the russian people is being clear to everyone the organization has been super previously i've always found russian people somewhat more reserved than they appear to be at least at this moment open and friendly. people everywhere which is great to see and also i'm just blown away by how brilliantly in the transport system is because the london underground really is a disaster and this place you can get anywhere in no time it's all in a much bigger city down to my kids and my wife i'm saying to them she's fantastic it's great i think people were i think fearful they were they were put in a position where they soon the worse was always think should assume the best they will see a part of the world they never dreamed of going to and travel does board in the mind by its very nature that's going to be positive and they will go home with a very different image of of russia because they've experienced that they had heretofore based on hearsay it's been a real pleasure to be here not solute joy. while having fun on the streets of russia's

our words -- the russian effort. and we don't put this in the book, but the way i like to think of it is, and mike might think of it differently, is if you're in front of a bank and you're told there's a robbery going on in the bank and people are walking past you and you keep saying, there's no robbery here. that only can help the bank robbers. people go on about collusion. i doubt very much donald trump had a meeting with russian agents and figure out what documents to steal by hacking and to release by wikileaks. but this is kind of a cooperative arrangement at least implicit, you know, that he was helping them by making the picture confusing. and, you know, if you're moscow and you're watching this while the campaign's also reaching out to you through various, george papadopoulos and other means we haven't discussed yet, i don't know, if i'm putin and i'm running this operation, i'm getting a signal trump is not unhappy with us. >> and i want to ask you about that now, because the country has really been, quite honestly, torn up -- >> right. >> -- for a while now over this, over t

learned more and more about russian interference in our own elections and about their playbook abroad, much thanks to previous subcommittee hearings, we now see how the same devices can be used to hide foreign meddling in our elections. last year at a judiciary committee hearing on russian interference, homeland security advisor to george w. bush noted, "it is critical that we effectively enforce the campaign-finance laws that would prevent this type of financial influence by foreign actors." i could not agree with him more, but we do not, and part of it is because we do not look through shell corporations to see who is really there. the first step to help address this problem, i am pleased up work with seminole -- senator graham and senator grassley to introduce the bill. it targets the cabaret of professionals who help establish the shell companies. it would make it a felony for an owner, officer attorney or or use ato establish corporation company or business entity to conceal illegal political activity by a foreign national. separately, senator lumen and german thought introduced

reaction to another story. you revealed another conversation in 2016 with another russian operative in the washington post has this exchange between you and mike. the russian wants big money for the info, waste of time, can you explain what this is about? >> he's a longtime associate of mine and asked me to meet with the gentleman by the name of henry greenberg. that is not his real name. he had information he said he wanted to pass on to the trump campaign. i met with mr. greenberg who is a longtime fbi informant. he said he wanted to million dollars for unspecified information. needless to say i declined and said i did not have $2 million. even if i did i would not use it to buy political information. and he said it's not your money i want, it's donald trump's. he said donald trump doesn't pay for political information. i have reported this meeting now that he has refresh my memory it was a 20 minute exchange, even mr. greenberg and the washington post confirms there was no transaction and i declined. knowing the extensive background as fbi informant, it's clear this was a sting oper

agents who went on to serve in the russian investigation. thank you. that's almost it from us for tonight. but before we go, we leave you with this special tribute to the 72 people who lost their lives following the grenfell tower fire, a year ago today. goodnight. i hear your voice every day... and i see your face when you're not there. at that moment, we felt like our hearts had broken. the most intelligent, wise and eloquent girl i ever knew. isaac made us very happy. he was my spitting image. he was my little man. there's a gaping hole in our hearts that can never be filled, and it hurts. they were beautiful, glorious, wondrous years, filled with happiness, love and laughter. i adored her. i wanted to hug my dad, smell my dad, feel my dad, hold my dad. there will be two empty chairs on the table for every birthday, christmas and new year's. but they'll forever own a position in our hearts. hello this is sportsday i'm olly foster, live in moscow. it's been a great start for the hosts at the world cup. russia are the lowest ranked team in the tournament but they rise to the occa

sanctions against russian organizations and individuals that participated in election interference. year, treasurys department targeted five entities and 19 individuals. including the internet research agency and the individuals associated with it. in april, the administration imposed additional sanctions on seven russian oligarchs and top government officials for interference in the 2016 election and other aggressions. among the individuals sanction ed was an individual who had close ties to former trump campaign manager paul manafort. also in march of this year, president trump expelled 60 russian diplomats from the u.s. i am told from history that is the largest explosion on the criminal front. this past february, special counsel charged seven russian entities with an effort to interfere in our election process. congress has devoted substantial attention to the issue. some have complained about the alleged inaction, particularly within our own committee. so you would expect me to say to the contrary. in the judiciary committee alone we have held no less than five hearings addres
