We are seeking these voluntarily right now. That's always the best way in an investigation is to have cooperation.

As far as I know, we have not heard from the White House. And these are the words of the president. You know, he a few weeks back said that Director Comey at the time better -- or former Director Comey better hope that there are not tapes.

I think James Comey is going to win any credibility contest.

I think that's inappropriate and I hope that he stops doing that because we still need to work with him on non-Russia related matters and he needs to have credibility when we do that.

There are also, John, other witnesses who will be relevant here. Jeff Sessions apparently was in the room. Jared Kushner was in the room.

This is a serious investigation. He was standing in quite a prestigious place, the Rose Garden. And he was asked, are there tapes?

We want to know are there tapes, or did he make this claim as a way to intimidate or chill James Comey from putting forward his account of what happened.

Certainly on the criminal prosecution side. You know, Bob Mueller has -- is an individual with the highest integrity who served during some of the toughest times in our nation's history.

Well, it's a concerning comment from the House majority leaders. So I asked, Anderson, you know, first, is he speaking with personal knowledge? And if so, did he pass this along to anyone?

No, more necessary than ever. And that's, you know, the other part of the solution here. You know, an independent commission looks forward and we know from the intelligence community that Russia intends to attack us again.

But the duty to protect the ballot box and the integrity of free and fair elections, that's on us. That's on Congress and we should not shirk that responsibility.
