The house and i asked about revelations you were describing there, paul manafort shared proprietary polling data with the one linked to russian intelligence and you point out his links to oleg deripaska. they said they did not know before this court filing that was mistakenly unredacted manafort had been providing that internal campaign data to this russian, well, to mr. kilimnick. >> the only reason we found out is the manafort lawyers were sloppy in refacting filing. so this information im not...

Right, with the, i mean, with just -- with the government shutdown, with the trump administration quietly trying to lift sanctions on a russian oligarch linked to the trump campaign, with the expected testimony of michael cohen in open session, with the new revelation this week that the presidents campaign chair was providing internal campaign data to a russian intelligence asset during the campaign, i mean, is it really possible that in this environment right now that the senate is about to con...

Manaforts own lawyer screwed up the redactions, so the question is, what else does mueller have? >> we can only hope more red redactions go unmade in future filings. is this top line stuff or valuable internal campaign data? theres some suggestion. all along we wondered how did the russians come up with this sophisticated targeting operation in the 2016 campaign? how did they know to go after disaffected democratic voters, bernie sanders voters, african americans were targeted by much of the rus...

There have been meetings. whats unclear to us is how much the president may have known about, for example, paul manafort trying to get sensitive campaign data to someone who can transmit it to russian officials. we dont know that. those are the questions that we are going to ask michael cohen. those are the questions that the oversight committee and the house judiciary committee, the intel committee, all of us working side by side will try to get to ask questions to get to the truth, even as we ...

With collusion. its all interesting because he was with trump on his campaign, and they shared data with a russian associate who was causing alarm asking, why was paul manafort sharing this information. a person who was familiar with his interview said he was asked about some of the work he had previously done with paul manafort in ukraine. he did some polling for him in 2013 and in 2012, but wasnt asked about proprietary trump campaign data. what we dont know, though, is what else was covered o...

What we havent yet begun to learn is the why. and thats what we can assume mueller is focused on in this next stage and what the next phase of this investigation is going to be publicly is explaining why people were taking the actions that they actually did. >> whats incredible is were only learning about this because manaforts own lawyer screwed up the redactions, so the question is, what else does mueller have? >> we can only hope more redactions go unmade in future filings. theres so many que...

A moment, but first were beginning with breaking news. cnn has learned that robert muellers team has questioned this man here, trump campaign pollster tony febritzio. this after they shared campaign data with a suspected russian operative and asked that it be passed on to putin ukranian oligarchs. what does this all mean? we have cnn political correspondent sara murray here with us right now. what do we know about this meeting that febrizio had with special counsel? >> we know that this meeting ...

>> yeah. >> you agree with all that? >> i agree p i think this is potentially even more important than the mueller report. and the reason is because we dont know what we will finally have as public from the mueller report when it is finally written. this is a central witness with direct factual information. remember that in the sentencing memo whats we heard is that michael cohen was not only directed by the president at the beginning of his presidential campaign to have direct contact with russ...
