you could still brief that individual and get the latest information? >> if that person determined that he or she felt i had a need for the access to information, classified information, they could do that, so as far as i know now and the same is true with the others that were named, we still have our eligibility for access. and to my knowledge, no action has been taken. >> raised the question because the president specifically said he wanted john brennan, former cia director's clearance removed, and sarah sanders was naming others including you. as far as you know, they haven't taken action against you yet? >> as far as i know. >> thank you for joining us. >> thanks, wolf. following brneaking news in the trial of paul manafort. former deputy rick gates under a plea bargain has taken the stand as star witness for the prosecution. let's go to jim sciutto at the

strident with these guys. lanhee, want to ask you about gates, who made a plea deal, used to be partners, a business relationship with manafort, today, the prosecutor is saying that he may not even testify. that's pricey? it looks like the manafort defense is built around gates and attacking his credibility. he is the one who made the plea deal and in a lot of ways, focusing, served up manafort to the special counsel. he may not take the stand. >> is a little bit surprising, shannon. the anticipation was that gates would be the star witness for the prosecution. why do they deal otherwise? it is a little surprising. again, not surprising from the manafort side, that they are pointing the finger at gates, a classic strategy of courtroom defense. we shouldn't be surprised. it is a little surprising. i still think gates does end up on the stand before this all said and done. >> shannon: lanhee, jason chaffetz, i don't know about you guys come about and looking forward today. to see what judge ellis has to say. they become a gentleman. without waiting for the results of the actual special counsel

a woman that said she too was drugged and assaulted by bill cosby in 1986. what she testified to was strikingly similar to what andrea constan says happened to her. they said back in 1996 she said in a deposition everything happened in 1990. it wads when she took the stand though. this is the star witness for the prosecution. she alleges she was assaulted they watched her, they listened to her. as she described exactly what she says happened to her. this is a case of credibility and the defense tries to undermine her credibility by trying to say her statements had
because somebody else has repeatedly confessed to the murder that michelle byron, the murder on woman on the screen is said of orchestrated. the state may put her to death sometime possibly this week. i'm seeing cross on the associated press wires this may not happen this week. they're still looking for a date. jurors found her guilty of shooting her abusive husband at her home in 1999. prosecutors claim she was attempting to collect $350,000 from his estate and life insurance policy. her son was the star witness for the prosecution at the trial. he was part of a plot and his friend fired the fatal shot. the son and friend were convicted of lesser charges and sent to jail. they're both out now. but here's a key point. that son, at one point confessed that he carried out the murder alone. byrom's defense attorneys never submitted his confession letter into evidence. a state supreme court justice criticized her defense team because of that letter she
