take action. the action that they deemed appropriate. >> yates's testimony contradicting the white house's assertion hat she merely gave a heads-up. >> the acting attorney general informed the white house counsel that they wanted to give, quote, a heads-up to us on some comments that may have seemed in conflict with what he had sent the vice president out in particular. >> and sally yates said the third time that she talked to white house counsel don mcgann is when she called him to tell him he could look at the classified information about michael flynn that was causing so much concern for her and other people within the justice department. she did not know if he or anyone else in the white house took her up on that offer because the same day she made it, she was fired by president trump for refusing to back the travel ban. so that is still a looming question, whether anyone from the white house looked at those classified materials. >> pamela, thank you very much. as i said, president trump tweeting several tweets in the past few minutes about the hearing.
