Attorney general Jeff Sessions said he will have no role in the fbi investigation between the possible ties between the Trump Campaign and the russian government. He insists his two meetings with the Russian Ambassador last year were not improper. The president blames the democrats calling it witch hunt. The former Prime Minister is also using the same word, witch hut. Sergey kislyak also met before the inauguration with President Trumps soninlaw Gerald Kushner a Jared Kushner and Michael Flynn. Keep in mind the help of the Intelligence Community they were tracking russian operatives because of the expanding russian Cyber Attacks on Democratic Party officials during 2016 election. I have recused myself in the matters that deal with the Trump Campaign. Reporter u. S. Attorney general Jeff Sessions said he would have no involvement in any investigation related to the Trump Campaign and denied accusations of collusion with the russians. I never had meetings with intermediaries about the trump campai campaign. Reporter the announcement came less than a day after he admitted to having two meetings with kislyak last year, something he did not reveal in his confirmation hearing. I have been called a surrogate in that campaign a time or two. Did not have communications with the russians. Reporter it was said on thursday he thought he was telling the truth. In retrospect i should have slowed down and i should have said i met one russian a couple of times. Reporter in 2016 senator sessions was one of the first to endorse President Trump and he became a top surrogate. Im pleased to endorse donald trump as the president of the united states. Reporter at an event during the National Convention in july he had a conversation with kislyak. Then ipt the alabama senators capitol hill office. I think i performed exactly correctly for an attorney general of the united states. Reporter last night on fox news sessions said the Russian Ambassador initiated that meeting where they discussed ukraine but not the campaign. I dont believe anybody that was in that meeting would have seen or believed i said one thing that was improper or unwise. Reporter Sergey Kislyak has a reputation in washington for reaching out to u. S. Politicians and their surrogates. Keep in mind it was his conversation with Michael Flynn that ended up getting mike flynn fired as National Security adviser last month. Counter intelligence Officials Say anyone working at the Russian Embassy here in the u. S. Is viewed with suspicion by u. S. Law enforcement, viewed as part of the kremlin spy network. Even the Russian Ambassador. Jeff pegues. Thanks, jeff. President trump also backed his attorney general earlier in the day. He spoke out during his trip on a plan for security spending. He argued that the u. S. Must show its power to the world. Margaret brennan is at the white house with more. Margaret, good morning. Good morning. Touring the nations newest navy ship President Trump took time to say he believed attorney general Jeff Sessions did nothing wrong. The president is increasingly frustrated by these persistent statements. To make his case for military expansion President Trump went aboard the navys newest Aircraft Carrier, the gerald r. Ford. At a cost of 13 billion, its the most expensive ever built. This nations ability to carry out vital missions. Reporter questions as to while Trump Campaign adviser senator sessions did not disclose his meetings with the ambassador distracted from the tour. As attorney general, sessions would oversee all fbi investigations into russia. Any collusion or contact with moscow has been repeatedly denied by President Trump. I have nothing to do with russia. To the best of my knowledge, no person i deal with does. Reporter but recent revelations of undisclosed meeting led justice didnt lawyers decide he should not have any role in the ongoing probe. Therefore i have recused myself. Reporter yet hours earlier the president told reporters he disagreed and said sessions should oversee the investigation. When did you first learn he talked to the Russian Ambassador . I wasnt aware at when did you become aware . I wasnt aware at all. When did you find out. Now the white house says any suggestion of political impropriety is politically motivated. And, gayle, senior officials tell me that behind closed doors the Trump White House is quietly forming a new russian policy with a much more skeptical view as they hear from allies about widespread Russian Military provocations and interference in elections broad. The plot thickens. Thank you very much, margaret. Thats john dickerson. He joins us from washington. Hello, john. Hello, gayle. Now that mr. Sessions has recused himself from this investigation, to you think thats enough for the administration to move foords and put it behind them . Well, the best way to move forward and put it behind them is for donald trump the keep up on the promises he made on the campaignra situations where you have people connected to the administration saying things that are at odds with the truth, you have Michael Flynn, the National Security adviser and now attorney general. Even though hes of a different order in terms of what he said, the job hes in is one in which forthrightness is the most important part of the job and thats the problem here. He wasnt forthright and he was supposed to bend overbackward. It is like a song out of empire drip, drip, drip itty drop. We see a soninlaw, an attorney general, former National Security adviser and former campaign manager. The key is when did the contact take place. Theres nothing wrong with the National Security adviser having contact after the election. They were coming in, this is a transition, they meet with the russians. There are people who are obviously at odds with the way President Trump looks a the security perspective, but the contacts after election are not as big a deal as the contacts before the election and theyre still reporting that former National Security adviser flynn was in contact with the russians during the actual election and thats really where the focus of the election is, is whether anybody in the Trump Campaign was involved in russian meddling with the election. Thats different than after the election took place. John, some democrats are calling for a special prosecutor here. It would have to come from the acting attorney general because Jeff Sessions recused himself. The only way i can see that happening is if pressure comes from the administration through future disclosures. If theres more that comes out that suggests that this needs to be looked at or if somehow the Ongoing Investigation is somehow tainted. So i thinks unlikely, but if these kinds of revelations keep rolling out, perhaps the pressure grows. President trump was elected by an electorate that wanted change in washington, legislation change, a draining of the swamp. These stories, how much do they disstrakts from and the agenda theyre trying to jump start just this month . In terms of the people who voted for him, these stories are an irritant and dont really distract from the white house. When hes on an Aircraft Carrier talking about 54 billion in increased spending and perhaps more than that, 34 billion on top of that and talked about School Choice today, thats what the people who elected him see and want and they see this russian business just as a confection of the press. Now, if you kojts to have republicans speaking out, thats what changes the politics of this even more. But the president s own team here. Thats what breaks it out of the normal partisan sorting that goes on with this kind of thing and thats when it can become something that really gets in the way of the white house. John, thank you very much. John will be speaking with virginia democratic leader. Senator rand paul said he and some other conservative lawmakers have not been allowed to see it. These to me are democratic ideas dressed up in republican clothing. This should be done openly in the public and conservatives who have objection who dont want obamacare should be allowed to see the bill. Reporter he also its the largest operation in yemen since the january raid that left a navy s. E. A. L. Dead along with dozens of yemenis. Newly released video is raising questions about a High Speed Police chase that ended with the death of a teenager. Some viewers may find the images disturbing. Nicholas dyksma led ershiffs deputies in georgia on a dangerous tenmile chase in 2015 and when the deputies stopped his truck, they repeatedly tasered him and dragged him to the groujd. Dyksma was later pronounced dead at the hospital. We have how the family pushed for release of the dash cam video. Mark, good morning very good morning. Nicholas dyksma made two mistakes. He used meth and he ran from police, but his rjpatss say none of it justifies what happens ne. Hay ywantou to watch this video so it never happens again. After a roughly tenmile chase, Harris County sheriffs deputies approached nicholas dykemas truck. They smashed through his window, pu hlledim out anduf cfed him. You can see one deputy put his knee on his neck for nearly 40 seconds. Moments later they noticed the teenager had stopped moving. Hey. Reporter deputies originally onrespded to call aboutan a m sleeping in his truck. When they woke him, right away he took off. Once they caught and subdued him and he stopped breathing, deputies didnt start cpr until nearly ten minutes later. Its heartbreaking, you know, to ine reporter nicholass mom nancy dyksma cant bring herself to watch the video. You feel your son was executed . Yes. Becausesome. Because i think that they were really rough with him, i think they were brutal to him. Reporter nicholass autopsy report reported three causes of death. Use of a stun gun, use of the knee to the torso and intoxication by mekts amphetamine. He made a mistake by running and taking meth. That may have influenced his judgment but last time i checked, thats not a capital offense. I know he should havent run. I understand that. But it really wasnt their place to end his life. Reporter the dyksma family has filed civility suit against the Harris County sheriffs office. They have not responded. Its under investigation, so for that reason they cant comment either. Anthony .

How is this so popular an iposome. Well, i think it has a lot to do with the 158 million daily active users. You have all those young eye balls and younger eye balls. If youre an investor youre saying, okay, they lost half Million Dollars last year but theyll find a way to monetize all those users. This going to be a hit. Whats fast natsing about it, there have not been a lot of tech ipos in the last couple of years, so this really pushed through. Everyone wanted it. If youre a billionaire on paper, how long before youre a billionaire in the banksome. It depends on how long it takes them. They have very aggressive objectives per the company. When they said, hey, we want to build up our revenue and theyve got ambitions. Again, the devil is in the details. Is this facebook, or this twitter . Facebook they did really well. They did really well. And its up fivefold. Look at twitter. Similar kind of concept here. Twitter went public. Lots of ar down by about twothirds from its ipo value, so we dont know which way this is going to do. Facebook did that with a lot of mobile advertising, which is, of course, the bulk of their profit. Does snap have a platform that can support mobile advertisingsome. Its unclear right now. One of the things is if they invest in the platforms. Well see if they can make it. As my mother would say, why couldnt you fall in love with somebody like that, theyre very nice boys. And youre very taken. Thank you, jill. Yes. New security scanners could speed up airport scanners by 15 .
