[Cabrera:] The Nunes memo, now is out for all to read. President Trump says it vindicates him in the investigation of possible Russian collusion. A short time ago I spoke to Republican Congressman Mike Turner, a member of the House Intelligence Committee, who wanted this memo to go public. He told me the core of the memo, that improper protocol was used to authorize a Trump aide's wiretap is what the American people need to see.
[Rep. Mike Turner , Intelligence Committee:] There is nothing at all that is going to contradict that Hillary Clinton campaign funded material were used as evidence in a court case, nothing. Now all the other information that the Democrat Party and their memorandum and the FBI might want to become public should become public and should be part of the discussion. But I believe, and I think even you and everyone who looks at this, will say Republican, Democrat, whether it's Hillary Clinton or Trump or whether it's Obama and Romney, no administration, no administration should use campaign material from another presidential campaign and use it as evidence in a court case against the other presidential campaign. It is a threat to democracy. It is wrong. We ought to be able to say that. Another thing I'd like to hear the FBI director to say is that he believes it's wrong for an official of the FBI or an FBI agent to be assigned to a case where they have a family member that has a direct interest in the outcome of that case. Those two things would go a long way I think in trying to get this resolved and that's we ought to move forward with some reforms because there are going to have to be some reforms in order for us to ensure this doesn't happen again.
[Cabrera:] OK. Let me ask you about the president's tweet this morning. He says this memo totally vindicates Trump in probe but the Russian witch hunt goes on and on. There was no collusion. There was no obstruction. And you can read the rest there on your screen. Do you agree that this memo totally vindicates Trump in the Mueller investigation?
[Turner:] No. This the memo isn't about the special counsel's investigation. It's not about Trump. It's about the one incident that is of grave concern, of Hillary Clinton campaign materials being as evidence in a court case. That's it. That's the message that is out there that we need to address. We need to reform this so that we don't have this happen again because when you blur those lines, you threaten democracy.
[Cabrera:] When you talk about reform and accountability in this, what about Rod Rosenstein? He was listed as one of the people in the memo who reauthorized the FISA warrant and surveillance against Carter Page. What do you think is his future? What if the president decides to fire him? Would you support it?
[Turner:] No. I think what needs to happen is the discussion about what the content of the memo is with the campaign materials being used. You know, Director Comey, you know, when he was director, he not only knew but believed it's OK. He tweeted out afterwards when the memo came out that that's it? He believes it's OK for Hillary Clinton campaign materials that are funded by that campaign to make their way as evidence into this court case. Now I think the American public
[Cabrera:] Let me stop you there for a second because Director Comey is not there.
[Turner:] do not believe that.
[Cabrera:] Director Comey is gone. There's a new FBI director
[Turner:] No. He tweeted that out and he said that's it.
[Cabrera:] A lot of people have been demoted, who have been called into question based on their investigation.
[Turner:] He said that's it.
[Cabrera:] What has been revealed by the inspector general's report who is looking into an independent investigation into the Hillary Clinton
[Turner:] Right. So there is a culture
[Cabrera:] Excuse me. Just a moment, please. I want to make sure we get back to it because I am very short on time here at the end of our segment.
[Turner:] Sure.
[Cabrera:] And I just want to get a quick answer. Do you stand behind Rod Rosenstein?
[Turner:] You know, I think we have to look at the whole job he's doing. I see no reason why he would not be supported. I don't think this memo has anything to do with that. I think it has to do with the crux of protecting democracy and ensuring that the culture that James Comey thought was OK, of using campaign materials as evidence in court cases stops. And I think that, you know, our current director, Director Wray, could come forward and say I think this is wrong. We will not be using campaign materials against another campaign as evidence in the future and we will not have agents or officials on cases where their spouse has an interest in the case.
[Cabrera:] Again, that was Representative Mike Turner. Coming up, in a new interview, actress Uma Thurman is accusing disgraced movie producer Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault. Why she says she's breaking her silence now. Next.
