Securitier adviser michael flynn. flynn at the time was serving as a senior adviser to the trump campaign. this all took place before the 2016 presidential election. i also need to note this is the "wall street journals" reporting. cnn has not been able to independently verify the details of this report but we do have the reporter who broke the story here. hes the senior national security writer. hes with me as well as steve hall, a retired cia chief of russia operations. so, shane and steve, th...

So yeah, there are certain investigative things. you know, the fbi has, you know, strong police powers, they can go out and talk to people. they can interview people and they have other ways of gathering information as well and thats the critical part, because if somebody like flynn was indeed involved, somehow, with the russians, even though it might be what the russians would refer to as a cutout, that this guy who said, yeah, i might be able to help you out and get you sketaccess to e-mails, ...

Anybody in the trump campaign, guys like michael flynn, whether this is -- this is a part of thats, because if you did indeed have an american citizen who was somehow cooperating with, trying to get illegally stolen e-mails for the assistance -- for somebody to have a better shot at winning the election, thats pretty serious stuff. so more investigation needs to be done but this is really fascinating. >> so, shane, smiths focus, it was these 33,000 e-mails, the project took place on labor day. w...

Investigators. he was portrayed as an ali by smith. >> what are investigators looking at now in. >> investigators are aware of what might be something at the other end of this operation. there is intelligence reporting from around the time that smith was operating showing that russian hackers were discussing ways to obtain e-mails from hillary clintons server and provide that information via an intermediary to general flynn then working with the campaign. we understand this was the smith operati...

Him that he believed could make contact with folks who might have access to this information and he set up a fairly elaborate process to try and vet it as well. but, yes, he knew clearly when going into this that he was likely to run into russian individuals claiming to have hillary clintons e-mails. >> now, shane, on the point of the connection to the trump campaign, general flynn did not respond to your request for comment, you noted in the piece and flynn has not commented publicly on this ma...

You grabbed him. as there been any comment from his flak, from shane, who put out that statement? >> im not aware of any comment. certainly in taking full responsibility for his actions, both in the letter and in court today, mr. gianforte made clear that that statement was false, that he admitted in the apology letter that he assaulted me, i had nothing to do with it, it was unprovoked. so i think a lot of that is sort of coming through already, and thats been very important. >> but i know its ...

And you just keep trying. >> but there is a limit to what the courts can do when a juvenile continuously reappears at intake, seemingly worse off than the time before. >> michael, shane, you got your haircut. where is your glasses? i would never recognize you. youre in trouble again? you see somebody so young and innocent in one picture. and then it looks like they lived 20 different lives in such a short time. thats where we ask questions about the family life, health problems, drugs.

Categorically denied that happened and said the only aggressor was soon to be congressman gianforte, an assertion backed up by the audio of the assault. quote, its unfortunate that this aggressive behavior from a liberal journalist created this scene at our campaign volunteer barbecue. that statement, which we now know was a complete and total lie, a fabrication, that was issued by a person by the name of shane scanlon, gianfortes spokesperson. thats shane right there. we asked shane to come on ...
