they weren't following or tracking rudy giuliani. but they are following and tracking russian intelligence operatives in ukraine. and so they were seeing rudy giuliani, the president's lawyer, interacting with a significant number or on a significant number of assets in ukraine. and this became obviously a huge source of concern. >> sounds like we are having a little trouble with greg miller's line. he was telling us about the post reporting regarding ruegy giuliani and concerns from federal intelligence officials that he might be used as an unwitting, presumably unwitting conduit to funnel disinformation directly to the white house to the president. greg miller, is the line a little cleaner? >> sorry about that. >> that's all right. >> when the president found out that mr. giuliani could be supplying him with russian disinformation or misinformation, what was his reaction? >> so our reporting indicates that he sort of shrugged his shoulders. and when asked about rudy's activities in ukraine, basically said that's rudy. i think that

we have a very important guest, rudy giuliani. he is not just a next mayor of new york, he's the former united states attorney for the southern district of new york and the former associate general of the united states and number three at the department of justice with the criminal division that used to report to him. i know media like to blow him up, he's the president's operate, he's a very serious man with a huge record of prosecution and successful prosecutions. before we get to him, i want to set the stage on what's been taking place this week and how the media are ignoring it and they are ignoring it for a reason. there was a blockbuster story the other day in the new york post. the new york post happens to be a legitimate newspaper. more legitimate in my view than the new york times that covered up the holocaust and lied about stalin slaughtering the ukrainians. more legitimate than the washington post that pre-much did the same thing. he giuliani has anothe never done anything like that and the new york post has never done

we have a very important guest, rudy giuliani. he is not just a next mayor of new york, he's the former united states attorney for the southern district of new york and the former associate general of the united states and number three at the department of justice with the criminal division that used to report to him. i know media like to blow him up, he's the president's operate, he's a very serious man with a huge record of prosecution and successful prosecutions. before we get to him, i want to set the stage on what's been taking place this week and how the media are ignoring it and they are ignoring it for a reason. there was a blockbuster story the other day in the new york post. the new york post happens to be a legitimate newspaper. more legitimate in my view than the new york times that covered up the holocaust and lied about stalin slaughtering the ukrainians. more legitimate than the washington post that pre-much did the same thing. he giuliani has anothe never done anything like that and the new york post has never done

and that's exactly what has happened with rudy giuliani. my god, i hope it's unwhiting because everything that man does seems to be unwitting, but it's witting that's worse. either way, nicole, the kremlin has a pipeline to the white house. do you remember when john bolton called rudy giuliani a hand grenade? it seems to me that vladimir putin has pulled the pin on that grenade in the form of rudy giuliani and rolled it into the oval office. >> frank figliuzzi, because it is rudy giuliani, and because it is donald trump, there's a taped confession. let me show you rudy giuliani telling jake tapper that there's nothing wrong with taking disinformation, information from russia. and donald trump telling george stephanopoulos we'd absolutely do it again. >> there's nothing wrong with taking information from russians. depends on where it came from. >> you would have accepted information from russians against a candidate if you were running? >> i probably wouldn't. i wasn't asked. i would have advise out of an excess of caution don't do it. >> if

rudy giuliani is no unwitting mope. he's the former mayor of new york city. he's no sucker, no rube, should be wise in the ways of the world. when i see this reporting out of the "new york post" that multiple officials briefed the president himself in december of last year about concerns that giuliani was the target of russian disinformation, it's staggering to think that nobody reached out to giuliani to warn him. in my 20-plus years at the fbi, if we saw somebody targeted as part of a disinformation campaign, we are either going to open a case or go out and warn them. if they continue the contact, we'll open a case, so i find it heart to believe rudy giuliani says he has no idea that he was being targeted business these folks society are associated with russian intelligence. >> so that's not a useful idiot. that is someone perfectly to help their political interests, or that of basically their boss. >> that's right. i think, you know, when the "new york post" story, when you look at this computer storeowner in delaware who allegedly received hunter biden's

jaundi rudy giuliani was the target of the russian operations. rudy giuliani was being used to feed russian misinformation to the president. that's according to four former officials who are familiar with the matter. the president responded to this shrugging and said "that's rudy." i am joined by ken dilanian and joy vance. and ken, i want to start with you with the stem related to hunter biden. what do we know of this? >> nbc news reported that federal investigators are examining whether the stories based on these e-mails left on laptop linked to hunter biden. the reason that's important among many other reasons is that this material was given to rudy giuliani. that's how the new york post got this stuff according to reque"t post," they were tipped off by steve bannon. the mainstream media is not reporting on this because we can't authentic this material. it may be a russian hack dump. the context here as you said we also confirmed that "the post" and new york times reporting last week that rudy giuliani had been approached by russian agents, th

lou: we're back with rudy giuliani. and, rudy, i want to turn to the issue of joe biden's corruption and the accusations of corruption, and i want to show the audience -- because there's been a suggestion that the vice president didn't do a single thing, as he put it, that was out of line while he was in office. and we're going to show the audience -- >> oh, my god. lou: --, please, hunter biden's foreign profits while he was, in fact, vice president, over $12 million worth. $3.5 million to hunter biden, the wife of the mayor of moscow. that's russia, if you're counting countries. $3.5 million. $4 million for work on the board of burisma. that's ukraine. $4.8 million in consulting fees if chinese business associations. that's $4.8 million from china. $100,000 shopping spree for various members of the biden family from chinese, from a chinese national citizen. that according to the u.s. senate report on hunter biden, burisma and biden corruption. this is stunning stuff, and yet the national left-wing media, rudy, says ti

intelligence agencies learned last year that the president's private lawyer, rudy giuliani, was being targeted as part of a russian intelligence disinformation program aimed at joe biden. the information came as a result of surveillance of andriy derkach who has been identified bit treasury as a russian agent. the warning about giuliani was passed to the white house. giuliani told "the washington post" he was never informed that derkash was a foreign asset. ken dilanian and phil rucker, thanks for joining us. ken, the u.s. wasn't spying on giuliani but he was picked up as part of, presumably, intercepts involving this russian asset. >> that's right, andrea. the cia and other intelligence agencies don't spy on americans but they do spy on russian agents overseas. when those people are speaking to americans, as happened in the case of the president's lawyer rudy giuliani, sometimes those americans get picked up on intercepts, become the subject of intelligence reports. and that's what happened here, my sources tell me. the cria and other intelligence agencies became concerned that rudy

those words today from caroline rode giuliani, daughter of rudy giuliani, the president's lawyer. it is not an easy thing to break publicly with a family member regardless of your relationship with that person, especially when you're not a public figure yourself. we're going to speak live with caroline giuliani in just a moment for her first tv interview since publishing this. but this plea from ms. giuliani to not vote for the president, to not vote for her father's client and friend, it comes not just in the heat of the final weeks of an election with voting already under way. it also comes as ms. giuliani's father is right in the middle of a last-ditch attempt at an october surprise that nbc news is reporting tonight is now being investigated by federal investigators as a potential foreign intelligence operation. ms. giuliani's father, rudy giuliani, and president trump are with this october surprise trying to upend the election at the last minute. they've levied this crazy set of new allegations against joe biden, but they really do appear to be the product of a russian intell

rudy giuliani will join us, the former mayor of new york city. we hope to get ample time to speak of his health, the health of many in the white house, and his thoughts on the path forward for his president. we've got market recovery off the shock of yesterday. what is the character of recovery you see? jonathan: equity futures up 0.7%. the bond market down, treasury yields higher. the president backing away from talks with house speaker nancy pelosi. i have to say, the administration looks really aligned wit senate republicans in a way it hasn't, offering a slim bill, offering a checks to americans. there used to be three positions. now it looks much more like t wo. the difference is i don't thing that spread can reconcile before the election. futures lifting up 24. that is a high for the session. we are roughly back to where we were for that profound tweet from the president yesterday. two tweets following in the evening, showing the specificity that jon ferro talks about. with that come of polls have to be coming out. we are now on from the de

i can't tell what's inside rudy giuliani's mind, whether he knew or not. i think you could reasonably suspect that these people would be and, of course, some of these individuals were known to have a long track record in some circles if not being russian assets, they were known to be pro-russian ukrainian lawmakers. a pro-russian ukrainian lawmaker in one case. you would also imagine the former u.s. attorney might suspect when he's engaging with such people his communications might be incidentally collected by u.s. intelligence when they were up on those individuals. there is a lot about rudy giuliani's behavior that is just very difficult to understand and explain, particularly why he continues to peddle this information when he knows it's not true. >> it's fascinating article in "the washington post." shane harris, thank you very much. appreciate it. >> you bet. >>> more breaking news. president obama weighing in on the roadblocks to early voting as people wait in line to cast their ballots. he tweeted -- our democracy depends on it. officials in north c

we can't get to the provenance of how it gets to the fbi and how it gets to rudy giuliani through an attorney, we are trying to dig into this and a lot to learn. twitter and facebook have prevented people from linking to it, i want to get your take on the story and about the social media reaction to it. >> three points. number one, these accusations are as serious as four heart attacks and strokes. now we are talking about a major party nominee for president of the united states of america with an election right around the corner. every single responsible news organization needs to be investigating the veracity of these allegations and these emails. number 2, "the new york post" is a responsible, reputable news organization. it is subject to the libel laws and the defamation laws of our country. it's social media it's playing favorites and trying to pick winners and losers and discriminating against "the new york post" because it doesn't like the article -- that is wrong if that's what's going on. number 3, while we are trying to figure this out, here's what we do know and it's impor

now, as it relates to rudy giuliani, rudy giuliani is really no longer relevant in this campaign. first of all, they all know that they're going to lose the campaign, so everybody's kind of running right now for cover. that's including rudy. this last one with borat is sort of the icing on the cake. rudy has become a complete joke and there's no reason to have him around. in all fairness, too, rudy and chris christie are really the ones that turned around and told trump that what you want to do is to interrupt joe biden as much as possible in the earlier debate because joe biden is known to have a stuttering issue and the way you throw a stutterer off is really to interrupt every word that he says. so rudy's usefulness is no longer relevant and he will be gone as well. >> i should know chris christie has denied he gave that advice, just to put that on the record. but the point about the donkey and the carrot to me is sort of one of the unifying theories here, and it is important for a lot of things. people say, well, why is he -- why has the president acted the way he has towards

and we're told by rudy giuliani not only is what he said true, but there is more to come. i want to get your thoughts about is he unfit for office? and should that be a major focus of tonight's debate? >> well, i can't think of any higher level of corruption than monetizing the office of vice president, allowing your son to do dealings with foreign countries that you have jurisdiction over and profiting for your family's benefit. it is deeply troubling. you know what's e even deeply troubling, lou, is that fox news is the only one that carried that broadcast. as these stories are unfolding, the media is completely blocking them out. and, you know, we talk about how we're on a pathway to a socialist nation with joe biden. well, we're already part of the way there with the loss of a free and fair press. why will they not discuss this, investigate this? for a candidate running for president at the highest level, this level of corruption needs to be discussed. lou: it is -- i take your point. we're well beyond discussion now in this country. this is a republic, the constitutio

what is rudy giuliani saying to this idea that he could become a tool for the russians? >> he's denying all of this. he's trotting out the deep state argument we've heard from many in the trump orbit saying members of the intelligence community are out to get trump. take a look at what he said earlier on fox news. >> no one in the trump administration warned me, no one in the intelligence community warned me. the president didn't say that to me. this is the first time i'm hearing that, and i have a pretty good idea where it's coming from, and these are people who are trying to tear down donald trump and destroy his presidency from inside the intelligence community of which there are many. >> reporter: wolf, despite what he says there, it is clear that this laltetest action is raisin all kinds of red flags as russia's part of broader investigation on the u.s. wolf? >>> inspect the situation room, the chairman of the house, chairman of the intelligence committee, adam schiff, is standing by large. plus, retired general john kelly telling friends what he really thinks of pr

why is rudy giuliani having a laptop? not only that, release it for their side of the incriminating biden, this is a time to release it. but they are not doing that because there's nothing there. soup or they released a lot of stuff. they invited us to come and look at some of the stuff. the problem is it's impossible to verify something that has been gathered second and third hand. that is some of the issue that we are having here. he has released a lot. he was reported to look at it. the problem is verifiability. but deniability is something completely different. because if you have someone i met with the vice president he was asking for his portion. his brother was asking for his portion. all these things are incredibly incriminating and problematic. but they have not tried to discredit bob zelensky. >> think is important to try to verify anything in the public domain for allegation. they should do it regardless of what this donald trump or joe biden. i think too often people go into the sink with confirmation bias. al

considering what you know about rudy giuliani. go ahead. >> rudy giuliani is not -- not lacking in intellect or worldliness. he understands this. when we learned recently "the washington post" reporting that the white house was warned that the national security advisor was warned that trump was briefed, that the attorney general of the united states was also briefed that rudy giuliani is tainted, that the information he provides you is likely coming from russian intelligence service operation, then rudy understands that. there's another agenda here on rudy's part. it may be a desperate search for relevance at this point in his life. it's sad what happened to rudy, the fall from grace from being america's mayor to being america's betrayer if he is a willing coopt of the intelligence services. as we look at what this might be, this delaware computer shop caper as i call it. to think of this in terms of franchise operations in business, remember back to 2016 and the trump campaign and the finding that what happened with the russian i

but the most important point is that rudy giuliani wasn't just merely fed this intelligence. he wasn't just passively receiving it. he ordered it off the menu. he demanded it. he banged his hand on the table and said give me that dirt on joe biden. that's the reason, rachel, why the president of the united states called the ukraine president last july, spoiler alert, he got impeached for this and demanded dirt against joe biden and said i'm sending rudy giuliani to kiev to collect it. lo and behold, here we've seen it. >> jeremy bash, former chief of staff at the cia and pentagon during the obama administration. jeremy, thanks for your time tonight. i appreciate you being here. >> thanks, rachel. we got much more to come tonight. stay with us. stay with us your journey requires liberty mutual. they customize your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. liberty power! wow. that will save me lots of money. you're insured! this game's boring. let's get tacos. only pay for what you need. liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. here? nah. introducing the all new chevy trailbl

rudy giuliani! you see the issue is in hunter biden and joe biden and all the corruption and the millions of dollars. the issue is none of that. the issue is rudy giuliani. it's like the russia hoax, all that stuff. four former officials familiar with the matter say the russians were trying to get their claws into rudy. no names. speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive information and conversation. the warnings to the white house. so it's rudy giuliani that we have to watch out for. ladies and gentlemen, here's the deal. rudy giuliani is a good man. they can attack him all they want. it doesn't answer the emails. it doesn't answer the texts. one has nothing to do with the other. and you know what? our president was in peace for a hell of a lot less than this. we've got email, we've got a text, dna, we've got times, we've got dates. the washington compost, they are protecting their boy joe biden. they are not interested. >> sean: one of the thing, we did have russian interference.

appreciate your time. >>> next, president trump was reportedly warned that rudy giuliani is being used by russian agents to take down biden. so what was the president's response? and all eyes tonight on a key swing state that could not only determine who wins the white house, but who takes control of the senate. so who has the upper hand? at fisher investments, we do things differently and other money managers don't understand why. because our way works great for us! but not for your clients. that's why we're a fiduciary, obligated to put clients first. so, what do you provide? cookie cutter portfolios? nope. we tailor portfolios to our client's needs. but you do sell investments that earn you high commissions, right? we don't have those. so, what's in it for you? our fees are structured so we do better when you do better. at fisher investments we're clearly different. to stir that fire, university of phoenix is awarding up to one million dollars in scholarships through this month. see what scholarship you qualify for at phoenix.edu. see what scholarship when disaster strikes to one, w

rudy giuliani goes to kiev, he mets with andrii derkach, a known russian intelligence asset. to do what? giuliani admitted to get quote/unquote dirt on joe biden. then of course in august of this year, august of 2020, the office of the director of national intelligence t key counterintelligence lead puts out a statement that andrii derkach is trying to interfere in the 2020 election to denigrate joe biden and the own treasury department puts out a statement saying that derkach is an intelligence operative. along comes rudy giuliani, oh, i have the disinformation and derkach made a statement this week that says there's more where that came from. so this looks like russian intelligence. this walks like russian intelligence and sounds like russian intelligence. everyone i'm talking says this is a russian disinformation campaign. >> kasie hunt, you can take the next question, but if rudy giuliani wanted to meet with top republican senators and maybe do something jointly, would they? >> well, so that's exactly the very question that i have for jeremy which is about -- i mean, repu

later, they went to politicians including rudy giuliani's lawyer. he said intermediary is an american citizen and a longtime friend. in light of burisma being hacked by the russians, those emails could've been plaintiff. >> this -- this might not been hunter? >> no. >> martha: the fbi covered up the investigation claiming at one point they said, nothing happens to people who don't talk. he was frustrated by the impeachment over president trump alleged efforts to discuss such information as he had seen in the shop and he was in fear of his life. >> the ukrainian? is that what you are talking about? >> don't put that in there. i'm afraid of someone wanting to make sure that i don't extort them for money or that i don't do -- you know. but i don't do things with their computer. if they would people. i was afraid for the owner, the people involved in the contents of it, i wanted out of my shop. >> martha: the owner clearly stated that he took action because he was frustrated by the impeachment, but he says it wasn't about getting people to vote one way

and he said, i'm sending rudy giuliani to kiev to collect it. lo and behold, here we've seen it. >> jeremy bash, former chief of staff of the cia and pentagon during the obama administration. jeremy, thanks for your time tonight. i appreciate you being here. >> thanks, rachel. >>> all right, we've got much more to come tonight. stay with us. ght, we've got muc more to come tonight stay with us ction. so we took our worst vice, and turned it into the dna for a better system. we created bionic and put the word out with godaddy. what will you change? make the world you want. >>> tomorrow will mark two weeks until election day, but tomorrow also promises to be a nutty news day, and i can prove it to you. here's a couple of things to watch for. tomorrow at 2:00 p.m. eastern, a man named elliott broidy, former trump inaugural committee vice chairman, elliott broidy, a major trump donor, former finance vice chairman of the republican party -- tomorrow, he is expected to plead guilty in federal court. he's been charged with allegedly illegally lobbying

rather odd of circumstances by rudy giuliani. facebook limited distribution of the piece. twitter barred users from sharing the story and locked the post account, accusing the paper of distributing hacked material. twitter escalated by temporarily locking the trump campaign's account and kayleigh mcenany's personal account. joining us now is griff jenkins. griff, twitter's ceo, jack dorsey, said the lack of explanation was unacceptable. twitter backed off and said we'll allow hacked material as long as it's not posted by the hackers, put a warning on it. it took two days to apply that to the story. hotchow much of a black eye is s for at whic twitter. >> if jack dorsey and mark zuckerberg wanted to limit people wanting t to look at the story, it ended up amplify it. twitter revised the story,

>> what i think is the case, what they are saying is rudy giuliani is being used. i'm not necessarily thinking the russian agent although i'm not surprised to hear the accusation as well. but at this point, we are way past that. i mean, the fact that rudy giuliani was involved in passing this on at some points, journalists have to say okay, i'm not crazy or i'm suspicious or skeptical of the sources, but your corroborating information and here's a live human being who's coming forward now and prepared to testify under oath at risk of being charged of perjury about what he heard and saw. it not just now not about hunter biden and what joe biden -- that use of joe biden's name, it's about joe biden himself identified having participated in conversation of the nature he said he never knew about her had anything to do with. this thing is out there and it will be very interesting to see whether the debate moderator tonight proposes the question and mentions the new informati information. it won't be as effective. he's an interested party. >> tucker: put this in the prom

giuliani. thank you for being here tonight. >> good to be with you, martha. how are you? >> martha: doing fine. >> healthy? >> martha: yes, i'm glad you are not coughing like you were last time. but you were negative, so good news. i want to get to the origins of all this in a moment but last time we talked about ukraine, we showed the ukraine emails and tonight i want to ask you some questions about the china side of this story in particular, and what the deal was, as you understand it, that hunter biden was there that involved the state bank of china and involved the key players in this deal and we have a full screen here that shows one of the emails from james gill ear, so explain to people what you think was going on here. >> we have two deals that i've analyzed in china and they are two very big ones. one was the investment in the hunter biden, chris hines, and bolger private equity fund that was owned by the vice president's son, the secretary of state's stepson, and the nephew, believe i

rudy giuliani is effectively a russian asset at this point. i think made some significant ground above and beyond what they were doing four years ago. >> that's a significant charge. i do know, it's a fact, that trump's own treasury department has designated a ukrainian politician that giuliani has met with more than once, the treasury department described him as a russian agent for more than a decade. are you saying in effect that giuliani is cooperating with russian disinformation here? >> listen, i certainly can't say whether giuliani knows that he has been put in the position of spreading russian misinformation except durkoch has been labeled a russian agent. and as recently as a few days ago, rudy giuliani is saying he's not sure if that's true. it's 50/50 whether he's a russian agent. no it's 100%, our own intelligence agencies have said it, the treasury department sanctioned him. so the fact that rudy giuliani is providing excuses to keep him and the russian fsb as a conduit to him for misinformation that could harm president biden shou

the president was reportedly warned that his personal attorney, former new york city mayor rudy giuliani was the target of a russian intelligence operation, a story that is unraveling to reveal allegations of disinformation, dirty tricks and a federal probe over russian efforts to disparage joe biden. giuliani's october surprise was supposed to cast a negative light on biden but it might have back fired as new reporting indicates that intelligence officials believe giuliani may have been used as a tool to feed russian misinformation to the president. we'll have much more on that in a moment. but first we turn to america's right to vote, the ability to determine who leads our nation, the opportunity to cast our ballot free from harassment, intimidation and suppression and the assurance that ballot will be counted. former vice president joe biden taking a commanding double-digit lead with just two weeks to go until the election. the nbc news decision desk early vote tracker sth eer shows a st number of americans have already voted. more than 21 million people have already cast mail-in and

know, run the president, the president runs rudy giuliani. giuliani is doing the president's bidding. he was doing the president's bidding late last year and earlier this year in ukraine, he was doing the president's bidding when he was meeting with an agent of the kremlin. he was doing his president's bidding when he was pushing out this smear and trying to get the ukranians to push out this smear of his opponent because he was deathly afraid of being exactly where we are right now, which is less than three weeks before the election, losing badly to joe biden. but the fact that he would continue to do it, i guess at this point shouldn't surprise us, but this is the story of donald trump. utter unwillingness to stand up to the kremlin, unwillingness to use their help no matter how dishonest or disreputable, unwillingness to undermine our own elections by getting kremlin help and amplifying it. there's only one thing left and that's to vote him out. >> have you, as a member of the gang of eight in the top leadership in the congress, the senate

a lot of other organizations raising red flags about the story and you know when rudy giuliani's name is connected to this they are immediately skeptical about the chain of custody of this laptop that showed up. what can you tell us about your ability to get to the source of this story? >> i think our story speaks for itself. it is deeply sourced and all the sourcing, hard evidence, obtained, photographs, emails that are pretty hard to dispute is verifiably belonging to hunter biden and that is a lot more of a slamdunk of a story than many of the anti-trump stories that have appeared in the last few years which if you look the sourcing is someone familiar with the matter told someone else who told the outlet in question and yet none of those stories has been treated the way social media companies, facebook and twitter have treated our story including facebook officials say they are going to reduce distribution of the story, outright blocking get so i as editor of the new york post get a block and so the double standard is striking and i encourage people to look the story up, a very re

here, rudy giuliani was going to ukraine. he was making no secret about it. in fact, the white house at one point had to ask him not to go around the time of impeachment. and he made clear why he was going. it was to get information about burisma and about joe biden and his son, hunter. so he was sort of advertising himself to the russians. hey, whatever you can hack and get, i'm open for business. >> it really is stunning to see the level of detail and the fact that the white house was clearly warned. and giuliani was running around. the phrase useful idiot is used all the time, and this is a time when giuliani is a willing useful idiot. david, i need to get to your book and the documentary, which deals with many of these same types of subjects. this background war that's happening. the russians are part of it but there are other countries, too. i want to play a long clip now. >> 16 hours since the iowa caucuses began. we're still waiting for the results. >> the app didn't work. no one knew if it would. >> this is so far not so good. >> iowa was exactly my w

also gave them to rudy giuliani, who supplied them to "the new york post." and so the question here is, is this a russian operation to try to intervene in the election and discredit joe biden and help donald trump? now, rudy giuliani has told msnbc last month, and he said again to "the post," he was not aware that he was dealing with russian agents. there was a particular parliament guy, a russian agent, giuliani met with him, giuliani saying he was not a key witness in getting material about joe biden. but there's no doubt that rudy giuliani has been trying to dig up dirt in ukraine on joe biden and no doubt that the russians have been trying to voice that dirt into the american bloodstream. we'll see what happens in terms of what they determine about this computer in delaware and these "new york post" stories. >> of course all of that happens while republican senator ron johnson of wisconsin on fox news last night calling on the fbi to review these emails. let me play a part of that. >> i think the fbi has to come clean in terms of, you know, did they rece

they were provided by president trump's personal lawyer rudy giuliani. it turns out that the contents of the emails sound a lot like information giuliani sought during a trip to ukraine in december. after which, according to "the washington post" and "new york times," spy agencies warned the white house that russian assets could be using giuliani to feed disinformation to the president. for more i'm joined by ben collins, nbc news reporter. and malcolm nance, nbc news terrorism analyst and contributor, and also author of "the plot to despres america." the post warned that anything giuliani brought back from ukraine should be considered contaminated by russia. can you draw a line for us, malcolm, between the info dump we saw in "the new york post" and what giuliani was looking for in ukraine? >> well, if you think about it, we all know everything there is to know about this story, because this is the same information which was provided almost two years ago, excuse me that resulted in donald trump's impeachment. a lot of this information is related to hunt
