Operation that we were reporting on connected to an israeli private intelligence firm called black cube that was also singling out both ben rhodes and collin call, as being kind of the organizers of opposition to trump. >> how many staffers did you get a sense from your reporting were able to see the memo? i mean how widely circulated would you say it was within the trump white house? >> yeah. i dont know if the president ever saw it. you know, i know that it was circulated, you know, with -- pa...

Like breitbart that opine that there was a war room of obama officials engaging in a secret, coordinated attack on the administration. and the memo is really written in the style of a military analysis memo. it treats these former obama aides almost as enemy combatants. >> talk a little bit about that. your report that the language in the memo, it mirrors documents produced by black cube. thats considered an israeli private intelligence firm. you report that they were allegedly tasked with smear...

This same conspiracy theory. we do not report that the client in that operation, which that private intelligence firm, black cube, has kept secret, is related to the trump administration, but certainly this shows a commonality of interest and it shows just how deeply these kind of conspiracy theories have penetrated politics and business. >> this is the same firm, i take it, that harvey weinstein used to go after his accusers. that according to your previous reporting, right? >> thats exactly ri...

Black cubes client at this point. what we do know is that they were running an operation with very significant political ramifications. going after former obama aides and apparently trying to discredit them specifically in the context of their work on the iran deal. and you mentioned the rosenstha weinstein parallel, this firm was using many of the same tactics, blackmail and false identities. this is a stunning turn of events that now public servants are being subjected to that. >> do you think...

Who accused him of sexual assault. >> well, i did have spies after me that were formerly trained mossad agents from israel where i think the best trained elite force in the world. >> actually, the woman who approached actress rose mcgowan pretending to be a womens rights advocate was no former mossad agent. she was instead an israeli actress, stella pen pahanek. this is her in a documentary from her time in the israeli air force. because she was born in serbia, she does not look or sound israeli...

Fixation on us. >> the fbi is now looking into black cubes contacts with the kahls, but so far the case is not under official investigation. in a written statement, black cube said that it has no relations whatsoever to the trump administration, to anyone close to the administration, or to the iran nuclear deal. and that anyone suggesting that black cube is targeting u.s. officials is misleading their readers and viewers. well, we never said black cube is targeting current u.s. officials. bu...
