Dr. swan. >> is the white house going to keep its promise to withdraw from the paris agreement and our understanding is that there are differences of opinion. rex tillerson wants to stay in, steve bannon wants to get out. whats going on? will you keep the promise? if not, why not? >> thats something i would be glad to follow up with you. i dont have anything on that now. let me get back to you. mike? >> i have an unrelated question but i want to follow up. >> unrelated questions are m rite >> ta...

Two questions, but first, there is a separate issue, issue congressman john from new york that a lot of civil libertarians said the issue of denying are concerned about, but not the issue this white house really wants to be talking about right federal funds to planned parenthood should be separate now. >> jenna: interesting from whatever healthcare bill juxtaposition, get caught up in the language of wiretapping, finally emerges from congress fisa, all this other stuff and wonder is there a bigg...

Out. >> second question then. the attorney general sessions has said he will provide a written letter essentially clarifying some of his prior testimony to the commit in his confirmation hearing. why is that not enough for you? >> because i think we need to actually be able to question him and to engage in a dialogue, question and answer with him. simply giving us a written statement does not go far enough under the circumstances. >> betsy woodruff has a question for you. >> senator rosenstein h...

Simple, logical explanation. >> there is none. so many people having so many contacts and not remembering, it doesnt make sense. theyre even the most forgetful team in political history or the most intimate with russia. >> so which is it, most forgetful or most intimate with russia? >> theres an innocent explanation for almost any of these meetings you hear about, coming to trump tower, meeting with jared kushner. the fact that they covered it up, that session is dodgy in his answers in the comm...

This denial. he was affirmatively putting out a denial he wasnt asked for. you saw sessions yesterday say very clearly, that was not my intent. he didnt mean to mislead senator franken because he was answering an entirely different question. very interesting to watch the relationship between the yes and answe -- question and the answer. >> youre a guy who knows capitol hill. i know its a slow day given a lot of lawmakers have gone home for the weekend. do you think the story will be the same on ...

Brought a whole network around trump that looking back was not politically helpful. >> betsy, is it fair to ask the question why wouldnt the now trump administration just come out and say heres everything, heres what we got. the argument seems to be, well, it scheduling stuff. it routine meetings, why do we need all of this? whats your take? >> speaking with former republican dncht o.j. officials yesterday, there were a lot of foreheads slapped, they were perplexed, especially with sessions, oh,...

Made on january 10th, the question so many people have is why didnt he just say, look, the guy you want to talk about hacking and russia and influencing the u.s. election is the russian ambassador. the russian ambassador has been doing his job. these are the people hes been speaking to in the trump campaign. a local affiliate did a piece on him about a party he was throwing. take a listen. >> you know, one of the thing that is missing in russian-american relations is the interaction between the ...

I say that for several reasons. its not clear it me that the answer was false. senator franken was asking about political campaign connections and senator sessions clearly understood that question to be in that context as opposed to any communications he had with the russians in his role as a member of the senate armed services committee. and you have to show intent. the prosecutor will have to prove his or her case beyond a reasonable doubt. its the highest standard in the law. i dont think the...
