Committees like adam schiff said two years ago not that there might be collusion but he said i've seen evidence that there was collusion with russia. that is not true. katie: you had the fired deputy fbi director andrew mccabe who has been referred to the d.c. u.s. attorney for criminal investigation for lying saying that president trump may be a russian agent. not just someone who colluded with them to win the election. but in february, last month. saying he may be a russian agent. so that's where we are this morning with those claims. pete: pay specia special attentn to those investigated in...

Of this issue of collusion but he's referred out a number of investigations already that we know of. we know of other offices investigating other areas of this like the inauguration, so the southern district of new york is very busy. the d.c. u.s. attorney's office is busy. the district of virginia is busy. we have state prosecutors getting in the mix because all these things start to paercolat and bubble up, scrutiny on trump's business practices as well as the transition period around the inaugural fund. >> even though there's all that and investigations ongoing here in washington, might tru...
