president s belief the white house staff it s a word i can t say on family friendly tv but the initials are b. and b., another person who spent time with the president this weekend in florida said it was signs of paranoia and delusion around this idea he s so right. he sought to have people outside the government collaborate this wire tapping claim which either suggests this observation of paranoia and delusion is in fact operational or extreme ignorance of all the assets at his disposal and all the investigative powers of the federal government. so i don t think we ll see him do what he should do after what happened this morning with i is to say i got over my skis, i was wrong and i apologize, which would allow the white house to turn the page on this wire tapping story and focus on an
intelligence-sharing relationship between the u.s., the uk and several other commonwealth countries so heave you have a white house that s created an international incident over false claims this is not the first time the president has made false claims. the question is will we see a retraction, any sort of apology. whether to president obama or to the british from this white house and will fbi director comey s testimony on monday push them to make some sort of response. that s what we re waiting to see. athena jones reporting. thank you. i want to talk more about the house intelligence committee hearing and president trump s wiretapping claim. let s bring in our panel. alex stewart, a republican strategist and kurt bardlea, a analyst for darrell issa. i want to hear what my colleague michael smerkonish brought up today. fees watching right now at mar-a-lago, he could pick up the phone at this minute and call the c.i.a., the nsa and ask the
