Brad sherman of california live on capitol hill. >> a decision is not final until its final. an implication on his memo, well delivered after the decision had been made could have affected the finalization of the decisio decision. >> reporter: did he suggest he was pressured anyway? >> he avoided at least ten times any question that would answer your question. >> reporter: the answer on that topic coming from democrats or republicans? >> democrats. >> reporter: what about the pushback? >> he doe...

Reuters that he was speaking to somebody other than mike flynn os also associated with trump. im reading between the lines but well check that. we have reuters lead reporter here. we have now got a named russian contact, an oligarch with close ties to putin whos apparently in direct contact with the trump campaign which is when russia was attacking the u.s. presidential election. we previously knew about a lot of people with people having contacts with the russian ambassador and a few other russ...

Oh, you only make a hundred and a quarter a year, what kind of man are you? you know? hes the major difference in our public service and he looks down on them. you can tell he does. but then they say, oh, yeah, i got your notes with kislyak and lavrov. i can get you. >> these are faceless bureaucrats who are beneath notice. theyre chumps. theyre chumps. >> they pay taxes. >> and you fired sally yates, too, because 27 years in -- one point were missing, trump leaks on himself. he busts open the c...

Thing to say. you know, i mean, wildly inappropriate thing to say to those two interlocutors in the context of that meeting a day after -- >> it is a remarkably important point its not two random russian officials in there, sergey kislyak is the guy whom around all of this stories swirl. >> theres a very good chance hes at the core of the actual counterintelligence investigation that james comey was overseeing. right? so he is telling someone who is potentially subject of the same investigation,...

The truth when he says he only learned about flynn from news reports? >> well, its either hes not telling the truth or he was running a sloppy shop. >> reporter: this is that three-page letter that was sent to the vice president. but they said the letter not got to the vice president. >> what is worse, that he is being kept in the dark or is the implication from his aides that the president of the united states and those close to him are doing so deliberately? do they not trust the vice presiden...

In direct contact with the trump campaign which is when russia was attacking the u.s. presidtial election. we previously knew about a lot of people with people having contacts with the russian ambassador and a few other russian possibilities after the election but in terms of during the election while the attack was happening, who were they talking to in russia? this is a new name. and hes kind of a big deal. the other implication of this new reporting is that apparently the trump folks still ha...

President trump react? what does he do? what does he tweet? does he attack bob mueller? you are monitoring this. as he tried to preemptively undermine the process? we know he said he thinks this, he has called it a hoax. he thinks its baloney. this is escalating the process. its taking the investigation to another level. >> bret: he also told lester holt that no one told jim comey to stop the investigation. he also said i want it speeded up. does this make it faster? >> no, and i dont think it c...

On flynn. so that tells the president that hes not backing down. may 9, comey is fired. >> we should also point out, and were going to hear from sally yates tonight. sally yates had informed the office of legal counsel, that flynn had been interviewed by the fbi in the white house and she gave the indication that the interview didnt go so well, that legal counsel asked for details, she would. give details, but the implication is it didnt go very well. but the legal counsel takes it to the presid...

Tell me what part of this we should be concerned about and what part isnt all that concerning? >> well, what we should be concerned about -- and again, i have not yet been briefed on it, so i can only go on the basis of whats been alleged publicly and what the administration response has been. but the allegation is that the president discussed a threat to the country from isis with sufficient detail that the russians could determine what the source or method of gathering that intelligence was. s...
