Louis burgdorf. The white house is expected to release devin nuness classified in memo despite the objections. A senior white house official told nbc news yesterday, quote, i doubt there will be any redactions. Republicans say the memo shows the fbi relied on an Opposition Research dossier funded by the democrats to surveil trump ve adviser carter page who the Trump Campaign ultimately embraced and then distance themselves from. Democrats say it distorts classified materials to undermine bob muellers problem into russian involvement in the 2016 election. The president has three options for getting the memo out there. The first is to simply declassify it and release it. The second, declassify it and send it to the house for release and the third is to not declassify, but tell the house they wont object if they do. House speaking paul ryan yesterday said he does not view the memo having a broad impact. Let me tell you what this memo is and what this memo is not. What this memo is congress doing its job in congress doing its job in conducting legitimate oversight over a unique law fisa. Fisa involves American Civil Liberties. If American Civil Liberties he were abused, then that needs to come to light so that that doesnt happen again. What this is not is an indictment on our institutions, of our justice systems. This the memo is not an indictment of the fbi, of the department of justice. It does not impugn the Mueller Investigation or the Deputy Attorney general. People should not be drawing lines or implicating independent issues. This does not implicate the Mueller Investigation. This does not implicate the this is about us holding the system accountable. So you heard that from paul ryan. But theres reporting from the Washington Post and axias of concern within the Trump Administration that the memo is not as compelling as some Congressional Republicans have made it out to be. Take a lisp ten to this. Showing misconduct on the part of people at the top of the doj and fbi. Youll see a need for a change for certain practices up there. There will be a need for a change of certain personnel towards the top. Meanwhile, john thune of south dakota said the memo should be shared with the Senate Intel Committee chair richard burr before its release. Burr has been blocked from reading it. Jeff flake wrote that the memo, quote, undermines u. S. Intelligence gathering efforts. Last night, senator Lindsey Graham said it is fought good for a part is an memo to come out when no one in the senator has seen it and those senators havent had access, republican congressman carly dent of pennsylvania was able to look at the gop and democrats memos and said they need to remain secret. Ive read both of the memos and i dont think we should use this for any advantage, either side. I think we should take a step back and not do anything that could if a partisan advantage that could risk a sensitive source or method. And a republican senator old the Justice Department that he has a list of employees names and he is demanding to see the entirety of their communications. In a letter, the Homeland SecuritySenate Chairman ron johnson says hes investigating 16 officials who investigated Hillary Clinton many of whom overlap with the trump russia probe. Johnson is asking for all communications not limited to emails, text messages, iphone instant messages and voice mails. Among those on his list are former fbi director james comey and all but one of the five people he told realtime about his interactions with President Trump which are currently under investigation by the special counsel. Two dwompevelopments in as m days raises more questions than answers about what is ahead. The attorneys representing rick gates withdrew as counsel in documents filed under seal in federal court. Just yesterday, theres been speculation that gates might be seeking to cooperate with mueller. Both the special counsel and gates attorney declined comment on that one. In a special filing yesterday, attorneys for Michael Flynn say theyre not ready for the National Security adviser to be sentenced because of the current status of the investigation. Sentencing hearings are commonly delayed until the government believes a person has fully cooperated. And President Trump spoke at the gop retreat in white sulfur springs, west virginia, yesterday where he touted his view of the state of the Republican Party. You know, paul ryan called me the other day and i dont know if im supposed to say this, but i will say that he said to me, he has never, ever seen the Republican Party so united, so much in like with each other, but literally, the word united was the word he used. Ite the most united hes ever seen the party, and i see it, too. In a very spectacular man, orrin hatch. Where is orrin . Orrin, i love listening to him speak. He said once i am the single greatest president in his lifetime. Hes a young man, so its not that much. And he once said im the greatest president in the history of our country. I said does that include lincoln and washington . He said yes. I said i love this guy. Senator hatchs office later clarified the senator never said trump was the greatest president , but that he could be. Trump discussed future messaging from the gop including some possible policy positions. And then we got hit with these cooperations giving tremendous bonuses toerve that nancy pelosi called crumbs. That can be deplorable. Those two words, they seem to have a resemblance. I hope it has the same meaning. Ive been hearing about daca for years. Some people call it dreamers. Dont fall into that trap. Its much different than dreamers. I said the other night, we have dreamers, too. We cant forget our dreamers. I have a lot of dreamers here. But daca, we want to take care of daca and i hope we will. We need the support of the democrats in order to do it and they might want want to do it. Orrin hatchs office is in for the clarification. President trumps Approval Rating got a little bit of a bump, stands at 42 now according to the latest poll. Thats a tenpoint bump since last months low of 32 . Half of americans say they disapprove of trump anticipats performance. With midterms just around the corner, democrats have seen their edge narrow. 47 of registered voters said if midterms were held today, they would vote for the democrat candidate, down four points from last month. 45 said they would chose the republican candidate, up nine points. Democrats lead on the generic ballot may be narrowing. At least 45 democratic challengers in 34 districts have raised more money last quarter than republican incumbents. Democrats across the country are seeing a wave of cash as the party ames to win the 24 seats they need to tie back the houake of representatives. Lets talk about all of this. Joining us now from washington, Senior Writer for roll call and cq now, neals wisnewski. Thank you for joining us. Were seeing a lot of different projections about what the release of the nunes memo might do. We saw a lot about a possible resignation from christopher wray. What are you hearing and what do you think is going to be the impact here . Theres two buckets of potential impacts from the memo being released, which i think were all expecting to happen sometime today barring a change. But really, what with is it going to do for the relationship between the intelligence committees and the fbi and the white house . Particularly because and you said the this in the lead into this segment that richard bur, the chairman of the Senate Intelligence committee as best as we know has not had an opportunity to review in this memo. The Senate Committee which has been doing this investigation into Russian Election meddling that seems way more bipartisan than anything going on in the house or anywhere else. The fact that theyre not involved in this memos release, as best as we can tell, is maybe the most disturbing sign of all. And it seems as youre saying theres a major split amongst peoples views of whether or not this memo can be released at all, a lot of senate republicans, they seem to be die verging from their house colleagues on whether the memo should be released as youre talking about. Were seeing a difference on immigration and raising the debt ceiling, as well. You heard from the president that the republicans have not been more united than they are now. But from what were seeing, are we seeing a divide within the Republican Party . Theres this unity that we had on tax reform doesnt seem to be necessarily carrying over. And i think the next test, as youre saying, is coming into next week. Theres another government funding bill thats going to need to pass by thursday otherwise we have a Government Shutdown on our hands again. And the question is whether or not youre going to get any sort of agreement on this immigration matter which the president says you should not be calling it the dreamer issue now, whether or not that issue is going to have any resolution at all before february 8th which doesnt look likely. Then in that case, do the republicans in the house and senate come together to come away with a bill that will avoid a shutdown . Right. Or are we going to have anotheren continuing resolution until we can figure this out whole thing out. All right. Im going to talk to you again at the bottom of the hour. Thank you. Thank you.

After all of these years, a Police Investigator is calling her husband, 87yearold actor Robert Wagner a person of interest in her death. Blake mccoy has more on this. From child star to Silver Screen icon i feel pretty oh, so pretty renewed interest in the mysterious death of Actress Natalie wood. In a new interview, la investigator john carena says actor john wagner, matlys then husband, remains a person of interest in her death, now more than ever. As weve investigated the case over the last six years, i think he is more of a person of interest now. He bases that on new interviews with two people on a nearby boat.
