the first one is the fisa warrant, and then the second one happened sometime before the election and went through after the election until at least early this year. and in that same time frame, don, while paul manafort, the former campaign chairman was under surveillance, sources tell us that he was also talk ing periodically with the president. and so the big question is were any of these conversations with the president swept up as part of the surveillance on paul manafort? you'll recall, don, that months ago donald trump tweeted that president obama was tapping his wires at trump tower. so what the justice department has done in the wake of that is come out and said, no, the fbi was never tapping the president's phone. but what is still unclear is whether his conversations were picked up. and we should also mention that paul manafort does have a residence in trump tower. though it's not clear whether the fbi was using surveillance on him at trump tower. don. >> okay, so the initial investigation, pamela, started in 2014. it was stopped, i believe what the reporting is, for lack of

we will have access to those and the concerns raised by the fisa court so i think the combination of what the court is doing in oversight of what we do in our oversight about the agencies do in their self reporting is pretty comprehensive. >> and working. >> and working. >> let me keep good on my promise and take some of these questions. i worked -- a lot of the audience is thinking oversight resources, authorization and the question about election security. do you believe the united states government is doing enough to prepare for another cyber attack against our election given elections have responsibility what role should the intelligence community play? >> i don't think we are doing enough and coming from a state where such a powerful tech knowledge e. industry when i talk with tech experts and talk about the murder she married in the elections they tell me and i have no reason to believe that they -- that the systems are not impregnable. they are vulnerable and i have felt for quite some time well before this past election that any state or voting jurisdiction that doesn't maint

that trump campaign chairman paul manafort was wiretapped by federal investigators through a secret fisa court order before and after the 2016 residential election. including possible communications with the president were picked up. they published an article titled -- did obama know about comey surveillance? the piece openly speculates that high-ranking officials inside the obama white house and president obama himself may have been briefed on the fisa surveillance. unbelievably in march of this year, formal obama director of national intelligence james clapper said there was no fisa warrant. you may remember this.ere >> the part of the national security apparatus that i oversaw as dni, there was no such wiretapped activity mounted against the president-elect at the time as a candidate orty against his campaign. >> anything at trump tower? >> no. >> sean: wasn't he suspected of lying to congress? paul manafort was wiretapped at trump tower. according to these reports, but guesstr what? clapper is now singing of very different tune admitting that communications from trump himself -- then

i don't think they are, but the fisa leak came from somewhere. if he wants to go on the foepssive and at least rally his base to preemptively not believe what mueller says and to begin discounting mueller and laying the groundwork for firing him, for pardons, this is not a bad excuse for trump to begin doing that, i think. >> you agree with the position that the sheriff joe pardon was an exercise to get people used to the exertion of the pardon lever? >> yes. and to signal to maybe others that he shouldn't be talking with now like manafort, one of the stories that says trump and manafort kept talking for a while and lawyers told trump you have to stop talking. >> ken vogue elof the new york times is one of the print journalists we have on this broadcast quite often. his defense when asked were you unwittingly used as a plant, were these two lawyers who knew exactly what they were doing, they knew you were within earshot, i'll paraphrase his defense and he said no, i know the crowd around trump. they're not like that. these guys aren't that kale.

the senator demanded the fbi hand overall its fisa warrants, the and all of the fisa warrants surveillance warrants and all the requests for fisa warrants, all they issued in the investigation, just hand over the warrants and your on going investigation so the committee could check out much of the investigation was based on the trump russia dossier created by the former agent. this summer the senator spent considerable energy trying to discredit and criticize the acting head of the fbi at the time andrew mccabe who is a potentially corroborating witness for james comey and any obstruction of justice inquiry into the president firing james comey. he's one of the fbi officials who comey says he told about the president's demands about the russia investigation at the time that behavior happened before comey was fired. but here is one thing chuck grassley is doing appears to be to try to target and get all up in the fbi investigation and i have real questions how this will play out. senator grassly has very aggressively gone after the obstruction of justice issue. not just andrew mccabe as act

if true, sit a felony to reveal the existence of a fisa warrant. an investigation should be conduct into the leaks and to examine the motivations behind a previous administration's effort. i'm joined by former counsel of the office of director national intelligence and richard blumenthal of connecticut. matt, tell us about this report. first of all, the picking of the lock. why don't you just knock? >> that's how it usually geese, boom boom boom, we're in the fbi, open up and manafort comes down with his slippers on. this was a no-knock warrant, they forced their way into the home. >> early in the morning. >> early in the morning. manafort was still in bed. they made off with a bunch of binders full of documents. they copied the contents of his hard drive and photographed the suits in his closet. >> why would they do that? >> when you're doing a money investigation, you want to know how much money you have in the bank open whether if he only has x amount of money, how is he pending y on suits and other luxuries. >> explain to us why a judge would g

cnn reporting he was wiretapped under fisa warrants. according to that report, the government snooping continued into early this year, including what do you make of that? >> there's two possibilities one is in the early stages of the special council investigation or the fbi investigation before there was a special council, we don't know that, that prosecutors or investigators tried to work with manafort and he rebuffed any of those efforts. we don't know, but i think that's a possibility. so then if they passed that, now he's in a very adversarial position. the second piece i know some other observers think the execution of the search warrant was extraordinary, i think there's a lot of aspects in the paul manafort investigation that feel similar to a very large public corruption investigation, a very large criminal enterprise investigation. and so, i don't think that the tactics that are being used feel that unusual for big enterprise criminal white collar investigations. >> how much, matt, do you think the psychology matters in terms o

but also that we have the tremendous value added by the fisa court. by the fact that the fisa court itself does i think a very vigorous review of these programs and where they find problems they often will suspend an effort until they get the results they want. or they'll change what a program can do until they get the results they want. we will have access to those opinions and the concerns raised by the fisa court. so i think the combination of what the courts do in their oversight, what we do in our oversight, what the agencies do in their self-reporting is pretty comprehensive. ms. kelly: and working. great. let me keep good on my promise and get to some of these questions. a lot of what the audience is think being right now, oversight resources, 702 re-authorization, and the question about election security. let's get to one of those questions. do you believe the united states government is doing enough to prepare for another cyberattack against our elections? give than elections are principally a state responsibility, what roles should the intel

you can buy nuts which are called lime and beans while you're waiting in line for an american fisa. but i only. know the last thirty days about i was with you. kid they've been they realize what a. little. less what does he love he's not only state rules here at the level but he a college when i look to be the norm was what has he done as many. pieces. it was easy. there are three ways to get into the usa you can apply for a residence permit but the chances of getting one are next to impossible. you can also cross the border illegally is not an easy task the third option apply for a tourist visa and overstayed so you remain in the country secretly. but to qualify for a tourist visa you still need a very very good reason. to believe. some of us sort of like a way out how it is because even cindy i get there what good will is it. getting. it done so. i'll be good enough. to see in it i miss a. little please keep. voting for keep this mental capacity on your person in phasing in time is bullshit is not only. one loan i. assume no the us is the infant in a. class he. doesn't want to dim

talking about this fisa warrant. how significant could that be if this report turns out to be true? >> we just don't know. the report also says the evidence could be inconclusive. certainly there's been no charges and manafort has denied engaging in collusion with russia, but there are a lot of unexplained contacts between trump officials and russia and that's the point of the mueller investigation, to determine what this adds up to. was it an overt conspiracy of collusion, did donald trump play any role in that? that's what the investigation is designed to determine. >> there's an argument out there, ken, this means trump tower was, in fact, wiretapped, that the president was right. >> well, the thing about this, these would likely have been roving wiretaps directed at a person, not a building, so it would be manafort's cell phone, his communications, his e-mails, but it is true whoever he talked to may have been captured if, in fact, this did take place, including potentially donald trump, katy. >> joyce, it certainly seems to a lot of experts in your field that this looks like bo

was actually to fisa courts being served for mr. manafort. one during the obama administration and one at the beginning of the trump administration. it could be said that of course president obama wiretapped president -- candidate trumps campaign manager, but it can also be said the trump administration, trump justice department have been wiretapped afterwards. >> i'm glad they're bringing this up to you because the order was discontinued 2015 by the court. another fisa warrant started in early 2017. this is not during the heat of the campaign. still under the obama administration. the timing is this makes it look like the obama administration was wiretapping paul manafort. that trump tower by the way. >> absolutely. first of all, none of us should have anything to talk about because these are leaks. people should not be talking about who was wiretapped in what they were looking for. as usual we have to talk about it because it's out there. it does give a lot of credibility to the president's claim that he was been wiretapped and we all know

one example is section 702 of the foreign intelligence surveillance act, or fisa which meet easier to collect e-mails and phone calls of non-americans who are located overseas. we also ramped up our efforts to block terrorist financing. and would make for security a top priority we started collecting fingerprints from visitors to this country we signed agreements with partners around the world to share information about known and suspected terrorists, so-called -- and richard analyzing airline reservation data. this is known as passenger name records to flag people might deserve a little extra scrutiny at the customs checkpoint. these measures have proven extraordinarily effective against centralized adversaries like al qaeda and isis. and make no mistake, we'll need them for as long as the centralized threat persists. but in an age of self-directed terrorism, they are not enough by themselves. we need to retool our approach in light of the more decentralized adversaries we face. why do i say that? consider surveillance. self-directed terrorists are not necessarily communicating with

told nbc news, quote, if true it is a felony to reveal the existence of a fisa warrant rarlgs of the fact that no charges ever emerged. the u.s. department of justice's inspector general should immediately conduct an investigation into these links and exam the previous administration's effort to surveill a political opponent. tonight the wall street journal reports that special counsel robert mueller's team has interviewed deputy attorney general rob rosenstein about the circumstances surrounding president trump's firing of james comey. they write, quote, the interview which occurred in june or july prebts the unusual situation of investigators questioning the person directly over seeing their probe. with us tonight to talk about all of this, former u.s. attorney joyce vance who spent 25 years as a federal prosecutor. and we're also joined by kimberley atkins, who also for purposes of this conversation as we always point out, happens to be an attorney. the recovering kind that is. kim, what do you make of the manafort's statement especially blaming the leakers. sounds vaguely reminis

. >> so i think that the evidence that there was this fisa warrant, these two fisa warrants that were on manafort shed a lot of light on what mueller might potentially be looking for. we know that there was one that ended a little bit before manafort joined the campaign in 2016. and the second one commenced a little bit after, so there was this gap period. and it's in that gap period that there is this initiation of russian active measures, the trump tower meeting. and i think that there are some keys that mueller believes manafort may have. possibly i think really relating to how the russians engage this operation that manafort can give him. i think that to the extent it sheds light on other people who might have been helping americans, whether they're connected with the campaign or not, that's useful. but i think with the facebook issue, he wants to go after russians or russia, i think he's interested in making sure these active measures are exposed and the people who are responsible for it can be brought to justice as well. even if they are russians. >> let's talk, stuart, about th

but what ile say is that if the fbi to even obtain a fisa warrant you have to establish probable cause. and the difference between standard warrant and fisa warrant it deals with americans who may be acting as agents for foreign governments or even foreign individuals who may pose a harm to national security. and so there is it a unique distinction there. and the question becomes was mr. manafort acting as an agent as foreign country? >> they are reporting that the mueller is already threatening him with an indictment? were you aware of that. >> i can't speak to that. >> were you seeking information gathered through surveillance of manafort? >> i think upcoming weeks, wolf, we'll see a lot of things. and i'm sure you'll be in the mix. but the house intel committee has gotten us this far. the senate intel committee, they are doing a fantastic job as well. and director mueller has an excellent track record for getting to the bottom of things so the american people can be reassured that democracy is working well. >> congressman andrew carson, thanks so much for joining us. >> always a ple

fisa warr >>> in recent years the united nations has not reached its full potential because of bureaucracy and misagement. while the united nations on a regular budget has increased by 140% and its staff has more than doubled since 2000, we are not seeing the results in line with this investment. >> all right. president trump a little more measured in his criticism of the united nations with the secretary general at his side. his first major address to the u.n. is set for 10:30 eastern time this morning. >> that's right. we're learning more about what the president plans to say. according to aid, his address will be deeply philosophical. let's bring back julian zelizer. and jamie. good morning to both of you. >> jamey, let's start with you. president who was just days ago tweeting out him hitting a golf ball off the back of hillary clinton and calling kim jong-un the rocketman. >> in his mind, it will be deeply philosophical, but if the recent events are anything to go by that will be just sort of a statement of the obvious like the united nations is a place where we can improve our foreig

they were hearing on their pre-existing surveillance, they thought it was important enough to go to a fisa court to say, we need to start listening in to paul manafort's conversations again they don't -- as evan was pointing out, this isn't done willie nilly here, this goes before a court, it has to be proved. there has to be a real good reason for them to believe that they need to do it. the second thing that just sort of jumping out at me about this reporting, is that, of course, now we have the possibility of the fact that the president of the united states, who continued to talk to paul manafort i'm told until maybe march, that his conversations may well have been recorded as president with manafort, if manafort was being sur veiled at that moment that's something we haven't considered up until this point. and these could be, of course, completely innocent conversations about -- how is your day going. but this is the first time we've really heard about that. >> so obviously, that is hugely significant. if this was going on before and after the election, somewhere, president trump's goi

this comes, byron, as we learn he was likely wiretapped with a fisa request for tapping into manafort's phones and may have listened into candidate trump or president-elect trump. let's take a flashback to some of that. >> wiretapped covers a lot of different things. i think you're going to find some very interesting items coming to the forefront over the next two weeks. >> let me be clear. i've been saying this for several weeks. we know there was not a physical wiretap of trump tower. however, it's still possible other surveillance activities were used against president trump and his associates. >> there was no such wiretap to be mounted against the president-elect of the time or the candidate warn against his campaign. >> there is no fisa court order. >> not to my knowledge. >> anything it trump tower? >> no. >> bret: remember the uproar back then? i am not saying it's apples and apples. there is a semantics thing and there are differences but they are not big differences. >> no, they are not substantive differences. it wasn't just james clapper, we heard there. it was james comey. i

so, one of the things we did was start declassifying fisa court judgments. fisa court stigses, surveillance act court. it's a unique institution unlike any other. no other country in the world that is that institution and this is a rotation of district federal judges that sit as a body for two weeks and then they rotate in and out to address fisa applications. and these-- there needs to be a better understanding how that works. there needs to be a better understanding of all the safeguards that are built into overseeing what the intelligence community does. all three branches of the government oversee the intelligence community. so the combination of, you know, declassifying as much as we possibly can. now, when you do that, transparency has a double-edged sword. the adversaries goes to school on that. and what damage is there if we expose this to the public? and i felt for exactly the reason you infer, that in order to regain the faith throughout the american people and their allegedly representatives, we have to be more transparent about what we did. the m

without having to go back to the fisa court to get an order from the fisa court every time you do that. where do you see the debate right now? where do you see the 702 reauthorization going between now and the end of the year? and what can we do to make sure that it gets passed? >> the administration's position, and i'm very serious with this, is a clean and permanent reauthorization. period. now i'm sitting next to -- and you're looking at the guy that is probably the world's expert on this. so you want later to ask a lot of question, audit his court. you taught me this. you were behind this. you were the voice on the radio of the administration then, and fortunately not tv. but you were -- >> there is a reason i was on radio. >> you were behind the scenes. you were in front of the effort. and quite seriously on behalf of the nation we should be very thankful to you for getting that modernization put through. now an understandable sunset provision causes that authority to expire at the end of this year. and the authority is for this. this is the layman's translation. it is the authori

everybody my name is live in cost growth and i part of a group of seven members of congress just under fisa through here. we wanted to kind of here to listen to the stories but also it's a good mystics back to our fellows in the american congress and the american. culture. in this. of course not i just knew it was one of a. tribute to them. so i'm here. i feel that us as mike and i think the same for the united states to kick out the people that stood up to deportation don't just send a plea bargain the judge. and everybody in it with their present process of boxing overnight which said that my ability to track read to be guilty is not going to be deported yet here i am. we've all read that anybody who was willing to risk their life for their country the united states. should not be subject to deportation. unfortunately there are hundreds if not thousands of veterans who have dealt that exact fate. governor jerry brown on easter of this year issues three pardons for and parties and so i'm here today to present these to you. the first issue i mr hector of ross he's going. to. need to. think

liz: reportedly, according to cnn a fisa warrant for paul manafort. reportedly concerns about paul manafort's ties to the ukraine and subsequently ties, via the ukraine to russia. >> right. so is it justified. >> that was reported. liz: is it justified? i understand, but is it justified. >> wait a second. did they approve wiretapping the president or the president-elect? that is a big, big, thing. liz: we don't know that. >> were they justified whether they got approval or not. but to have fisa approve wiretapping the president-elect that is unheard of. that is absolutely unheard of. liz: we heard that. we are talking about paul manafort. is it justify to wiretap him. >> paul manafort was talking to president all the time. it is inconceivable, inconceivable they would not have been talking to each other. liz: back in march former direct are to have national intelligence james clapper denied any wiretap claims. let's take a listen. >> on the part of the national security apparatus that i oversaw as dni, there was no such wiretap activity mounted agains

and as part of that, the fbi was back to the fisa court, we're told by sources, and got a warrant to put paul manafort under surveillance as it related to russian meddling investigation that was sometime before the election and went after the election. what is interesting here as you pointed out, don, at some point it dropped out. and during that time he was no longer under surveillance was the trump tower meeting back last june, that russian attorney whereas you'll recall don junior was promised an e-mail of incriminating information on hillary clinton. we're told last june paul manafort was not under surveillance, otherwise authorities would have known about it much sooner. don. >> pamela, standby. i want to bring fareed back in. "the new york times" is reporting that following an early morning raid, mueller's team told manafort they plan to indict him. >> you know i think that mueller's team is clearly trying to figure out where it can find the sort of maximum leverage. and one of the things you often do in these kind of situations is you let somebody know that basically they viol

>> again a lot of speculation and i believe they probably were fisa warrants by the fisa court. >> they were. >> it would be appropriate to use, that's evidence that can be admissible if needed and appropriate. yes. >> yes. emily jane fox, switching gears, but related in this whole probe, michael cohen, trump personal lawyer sits down with you at a diner somewhere in the hamptons to have a chat before he is set to sit with us in an intel behind closed doors. he puts out part of a statement before he's to go in there and they say, no, no, no we warned you not to do this. now we want to question you and we're going to do it in a public setting. didn't he understand the rules? >> i don't know the answer to that question. i spoke to him at great length over the last couple weeks. >> he talked, talked. >> it never once came up these were the rules. i feel like in hours and hours and hours of conversation with a reporter that might have come up. it didn't. he told me he initially wanted these hearings to be public and at the advice of counsel and his friends they decided to keep them private.

fisa i was environment she said i thought you were in the united states i said everybody was very sad would happen to your father. we're was a picture in the paper and hung that up in the kitchen live with that type of picture. >> the as we say in ireland and go to a little store to say there is no audience tonight because the president was shot everything is cancelled and closed down. >> in the radio had to be charged in my father used to keep it so with they were up and down the street. >> i want to make sure we have time for a couple of questions. if you have a question go to the microphone. >> thank you for being here he remains my hero. but one of the things i have always liked is his self-effacing humor whether during the various speeches and extemporaneously comes up with a humorous remark about himself is a self-effacing way and i find that politics or political world so i was wondering if you pitch share that aspect. >> humor is political. >> and then before we started writing but everything applies. but as the matter of political strategy he used humor so there are problems

for much of the media it's a dark secret threat to our liberties, now we learn ofce a fisa warrant to tap paul manafort's phone and everybody in the media just kind of shrugs and says he must've doneap something bad, we will learn eventually.. i think now you're wondering, that judge about a year ago signed off, is he wondering where is the evidence? >> tucker: i think it's a great question. my final question, why can't wei find out more about this? leaking the existence of a fisa warrant i think is a felony already so we are already down this path, don't you think it citizens we have a right to know why the government did this, who authorized it? p >> i think we ought to know whoh authorized it. i think it is kind of odd, here we are more than a year into the story and all that is leaked it sort of everything except the evidence that there was collusion to rig the election. >> tucker: it sure seems that way, it seems a bigger threat than russia. anyway, james, thank you, a great piece today. i appreciate it , thanks for coming on. >> appreciate it.ay >> tucker: colin kaepernickha isn

they know everything about him if they had a fisa warrant on him. >> i'm going to play off what anna said. jim mattis is the most important not named trump because of the threat from north korea that ana mentioned. how the united states will react to this threat of a hydrogen bomb being tested in the pacific, something that hasn't happened in 60 years will be sort of chilling to the entire world. on friday, hugh, i had coffee with a former senior -- very, very senior person at the defense department who left quite recently. and i can tell you they are nervous over there. this kind of talk is something that strikes them to the core. it's a very serious story that has people -- >> secretary mattis is one of the best people to ever serve. he knows wars begin with muss calculation. if rocket man hits the wrong thing, stuff happens. my person is theresa may. probably because i have been in the uk. her government is falling apart. boris johnson was going to leave. pulled everyone on a plan to get out. she is presenting it in florence. it appears she pulled it off. i thought she was the wal

one is fisa, foreign intelligence surveillance act. and there you've got to prove to a judge that the target beyond a reasonable doubt is the agent of a foreign power. the other kind of warrant, though, deals with criminal activity, potential criminal activity. the and i suspect that what we're talking about here is a law enforcement warrant against mr. manafort for tax questions, financial crimes potentially, perhaps not registering as a foreign agent, rather than this larger, more important question for me, the whole question of collusion with the russian government. >> so the chairman of the senate judiciary committee republican charles grassley tonight he's asking the fbi if it warned the trump campaign about hiring manafort. is that something the fbi would have been expected to do if there was an active investigation going on or if they had, you know, any concerns about manafort? >> anderson, the way i read the public record, you have the warrant for the surveillance for a certain period of time, but it was then dropped. >> right.

permission from the fisa court to do this. muellercounsel robert told paul manafort in july he should expect to be indicted. he is a central figure in multiple investigations into russia's election interference. overheard, a "new york times reporter said he heard an attorney talking about robert mueller's probe while eating at a d.c. steakhouse. he was hired to oversee the white house response to the special counsel. speaking of the investigation, the "new york times" reported quoted what the attorney said, "we are not hiding anything." attorney and he said he heard the whole conversation. alison: hillary clinton tonight is not ruling out questioning the legitimacy of last year's election -- that is if russian interference is deeper than currently known. she made the comment today, signaling she may still call the outcome into question. clinton herself in town to kick our, touching on a lot of topics, including the pizza-gate incident. tim barber is live in northwest with more. tim? tim: clinton spoke at the warner theatre, up

if it was done via a search warrant from fisa court, then the standard for that is very low. you don't have to show criminal behavior, only show it's more likely than not that manafort was speaking to foreign persons. >> bill: two years prior manafort was surveilled in a case that could have been related or not. we don't noe. >> the problem with that kind of a warrant the fruits of that warrant are available to the white house and we know that susan rice has acknowledged receiving some of that material. and we know that one day after she received some of it, a transcript of a conversation between ambassador kislyak and general flynn showed up in the "washington post". the other is the f.b.i. traditionally gets. a judge and testifying under oath in secret about the crimes they're investigating and why they need this surveillance to bolster their case because it is more likely than not the person they want to surveil is discussing criminal activity. >> bill: you are saying they were justified in the request. let me back up a little bit. >> i don't know which kind of warrant the
