Nixon was forced from office the next year. also today, cnn is reporting that the special counsel met ind february of last year with a he trump campaign pollster. now, this comes just days after we learned that paul manafort shared of all things, trump campaign polling date with a russian colleague with ties to that nations military intelligence agency. today trump was asked about manaforts actions. >> mr. president, did you know that paul manafort was sharing polling data from your campaign wit...

To be leaking, slipping internal campaign polling to a foreign intelligence asset like kilimnik. >> right. >> but what the polling data is, we dont know. was it really sensitive, highly targeted stuff? >> okay. >> or was it simply, you know, basic public polling data that you could read on real clear politics? >> im short on time. i got to get the other folks in here. >> right. sure. >> steve, listen, you say the focus needs to be on oleg deripaska. so first remind our viewers who that is and wh...

Oligarchs. we just dont -- we can say for sure a couple things. number one, its improper on its face for the campaign chairman to be leaking, slipping internal campaign polling to a foreign intelligence asset like kilimnik. >> right. >> but what the polling data is, we dont know. was it really sensitive, highly targeted stuff? >> okay. >> or was it simply, you know, basic public polling data that you could read on real clear politics? >> im short on time. i got to get the other folks in here. >>...

Administration. kind of the background music to the whole russia investigation ongoing. why did the russians repeatedly want to make contact with the trump administration? well, one of the big reasons is they wanted the sanctions rolled back because they were having a real power, causing economic pain. specifically economic pain to the very rich and powerful people around putin. >> listen, its a great point. go to the trump tower meeting. what do the russians come in wanting? a thing about adopt...

Work he did with paul manafort. he was not asked about the proprietary trump campaign polling. we dont know what other topics may have been broached in this interview. this is coming at a time when prosecutors were digging into his business dealings and work in the ukraine. they were told by the justice department to dig into that stuff because they wanted to know how it dealt with the picture, if it did, to working with the russians. its hard to know what tony fabrizio provided but he had his h...

1995 shutdown citing officials can still appear before congress even during a government shutdown. its been 15 months since jeff sessions testified before the committee. its pastime for the committee to conduct oversight. >> the "new york times" issued a correction yesterday to their bomb shell report about tuesdays revelation that paul manafort shared campaign polling data with an associate tied to russian intelligence during the 2016 presidential race. the report originally said that manafort ...

He was very closely aligned with putin. right now, the american government, secretary mnuchin and the treasury department, is easing sanctions on him. it all worked. they won. they got putin -- putin got trump elected president. putins allies are now thriving because of this. its just -- we act like this story -- they all got caught. maybe they got caught, but they still won. not just trump, not just putin, but even these allies, these oligarch allies of trumps campaign chairman. >> the vice cha...

The president and even though there doesnt appear to be any path forward to ending this shutdown soon, republicans are sticking with him. >> thank you. phil mattingly on capitol hill. lets get to breaking news in the russia investigation. new details emerging on paul manaforts handover of polling data to an alleged kremlin operative. lets bring there our political correspondent sara murray. manafort was looking to use that sensitive, confidential trump campaign polling data to pocket some cash...

He was leading the trump campaign he was also sharing internal campaign polling that has tieing to intelligence. >> to me it appears the closest we have seen to real life actual collusion. the question is what did the president know? what did donald trump know about this exchange of information? did the russians end up using this information in the efforts that took place later in the fall? >> senator warner also said he wanted to see exactly what manafort turned over to the russians, something ...

You cannot say that this inadvertent -- there may have been a failure to redact information. theres nothing that suggests that manafort inadvertently provided that data for any innocent explanation. remember, paul manafort offered to work for the campaign for free. like anybody else, i believe in altruism. but you work for free why? he had a huge debt to be paid. he wanted the information to get to somebody who was a russian oligarch who could possibly forgive that payment. that says to me a qui...
