Transcript for Trump hints tapes may exist of Comey conversations

Rick Klein an RD figure out that tape the tape of the tapes Rick Klein Jon Karl asked him if they excess the president said. You'll see it don't worry about it and then pitted into a very long answer about the election and North Korea and jobs we're not getting a firm answer on that Steve think we. I think it ultimately there are tapes there when it on now I think based on answers today it's right to be skeptical about whether there atheist or not. They could only dump this for so long and Bob all this committee is that the senate committee they're gonna want to know what records exist maybe that's the format. It will find out very shortly where he adds that. Will be very disappointed. In what the ultimate answer is who knows clearly though there were tapes that back up the president's side they're gonna come out if if if the don't back of the president's night. You'd expect hinted that the try to block release for awhile. I'm struck also just by that that the lack. The statements that he made who needs to Twitter when you can. Fit all of this in tweets he does it no pollution no obstruction easily here that's less than a 140 characters. But that's the message for the presence in the United States when it of the game only and it puts the FBI director of the former FBI director and the president. Atwater one of these men is lying. And that will have to come out over the course of an investigation. Led by Bob Lawler the special counsel law that's that is extraordinary. You know Rick it is worth three playing just because they were so much information in there this was the president's back and forth. With our colleague Jon Karl right there in the Rose Garden let's just take a quick listen and talk on the back and hear it. He did say under oath that you told him to let the flame you use it you hopes the Flint investigation you could like he I didn't say that. So he lied about that well I didn't say that I mean I will tell you I didn't say. And and did he askew to pledge and did nothing wrong if I did say it according to everybody that I've read today but I did not say that. And did he asked for a pledge of loyalty from north and he said no he did not. So he said those things under oath would you be willing to speak under oath two keep your version of 100%. And you say under oath. I hardly know the man I'm not gonna say I want you to pledge allegiance who would do that who would ask a man to pledge allegiance under oath. I mean think of it I hardly know the man. It doesn't make sense. No I didn't say that and I didn't say the other so if Robert Moeller wanted to speak with you about that I would be glad to tell him exactly the largest deluge and he seemed to be hinting that there are. Recordings of those converse I'm not his take anything I'll tell you battered over very short period. Rick has a re listening to it now in the president's cadence and the way talks in France is hard to understand what he intends to say. It's almost as if he thought that he was asked if he asked -- me to pledge allegiance under oath but that's just me in my reading this front heavy to be the way to keep talking and her. Partial sentences. Yeah I'm not sure I mean if he was an odd back and forth but I think it counts as a blanket denial that he says on these two key points. That that he never had this conversation with Lynne. Are about land about hoping that he could see through it to drop the matter and that he never asked for any kind of loyalty that seems to me the very clear position. I'd also note that that odd caveat he had reset will there be nothing wrong I had. Have a conversation about when according to everybody that he's read. Today he is around everybody because there's a whole lot of legal scholars out there and politicians as well are saying. Actually if the president United States is telling the FBI director I hope this can go away. I think after got a record directed sees that as an order that sure sounds like an order and that's potentially grounds for obstruction of justice. I am I am I think that the events of the last 2448 hours. From what called me said and then the president's reaction to it. Is actually deep in the case for obstruction. That now you have more things out there including the threats by his own lawyer. To take some kind of legal action against director Komi in the president's labeling of Komi as the leaker. Those are things that could be viewed as witness intimidation and I think that he makes the case just more layered more complicated trump. Maybe making more trouble for himself every time he speaks on this. And of course we know these investigations not just the special counsels but also the congressional investigations continue and more and more people from inside mr. trump circle. Are going to be asked to come under oath and to testify at least answer committee's questions. In private sections first up we have Jeff Sessions right he's going to be answering questions next week. He'll be before senate Appropriations Committee next week we know that the Senate Intelligence Committee wants to hear from his what his well. He was kind of a minor player in the testimony yesterday but it buried headline was the suggestion by director call me. That there's more information about his ties with Russia you see sitting briefing senators in closed session on that. The attorney general's role pole during the campaign and then in the in the in the White House in the administration as the go between. He would have heard some of these conversations he's potentially a corroborating witness for. One side or the other he was asked to leave the room for the conversation about Flynn according to call his testimony so he will be among the key people as this is this issue. As the scandal widens around the president.
