hillary clinton. this all part of the gop-led investigation into actions the fbi took in 2016. something the republicans believe was not done properly. the clinton investigation and the russia investigation. the meeting she had with bill clinton on the tarmac in 2016 right before that decision not to prosecute clinton and then what she knows about the russia investigation and her interactions with james comey. both of those situations. ultimately, we ll see what they turn up here, pamela because democrats have made it very clear that they are going to stop this investigation on their first day when they take power in january. so she s very well the last witness of this investigation. we ll see what they turn up, what democrats say, and not a lot new so far. pamela? we ll have to wait and see, of course, she s coming back to the hill to talk about this issue. we ll see if there s anything new that s coming out as you pointed out, democrats say nothing new. so we ll have to wait and se
represent the glue of this country and they are under attack by things just like that. now, in the room, james comey was asked about his decision not to publicly announce if president trump was not under investigation. and he told members, according to a source briefed on the matter, he probably made the right decision not to announce that publicly, because based on public reporting, the president appears to be under investigation now. so democrats and republicans were taking aback by those comments, jake. all right. manu raju on capitol hill, thank you so much. i saw you nodding, jen sake, even though i know in october 2016, you weren t nodding much at what james comey had to do when he announced that hillary clinton reopened the case. but you agree now. i think he s saying the right things. the problem is that he is somebody who is clearly thinking about his own reputation. he obviously had to testify. but he s out there in public fab more than i think either party would pref
just over 30 minutes from now, a small group of senate republicans and democrats will enter a meeting with gina haspel and discuss exactly what she knows about the killing of jamal khashoggi. she listened to the audiotape provided by the turks. the president did not. the highest ranking person to have listened to it. manu raju on capitol hill. lawmakers on both sides demanded this. i m sure they re happy they re going to get this briefing. i understand you just talked to the chair of the senate foreign relations committee, bob corker. what did he say? yeah, in fact, he was disappointed this briefing is only going to be for six senators. we re not expecting more than a handful of senators. he said it should be done for the full senate, and the white
is at this point. jim and poppy. manu, on that point, before you go, last week when there was the vote on it, it was 63 senators including 14 key republicans, voted to tie the president s hands, right, on this continued aid of saudi in yemen. they would need to get the number to 67 to have a veto-proof majority. is the thinking the math right now that they have enough votes? it s unclear at the moment. the administration is trying to pull back republican support from that measure. but there are other things that could get bipartisan support, and corker suggesting something much broader than just going after the u.s. involvement in yemen, perhaps other measures, sanctions perhaps, things to that nature. so his belief is that if there is a significant bipartisan support, it would be enough to overcome any presidential veto, but as we have seen before, guys, when the president s hand is forced, he may be forced to sign something like he had to do with russia sanctions at the beginni
