" Question tonight was a suspect in Fort -- killer sending money to Pakistan to fund terrorism. We report you decide. But there is new information tonight about major -- money and where some of it may have been going. And Pete Hoekstra joins us live his ranking Republican on the house intelligence -- Cashman and where would. What's what do you what did tell us about this money whether and that made the sound was sending money to Pakistan and -- in Pakistan."

" Well Greta much like in the news media over the last fiber -- five or six days I've been going to my sources because. Over the weekend the intelligence community was unwilling to -- closest to what they knew. And from very reliable sources. You know they've told me that there are very solid leads that indicate that -- was having communications with -- individuals in Pakistan. And may also sent money. In the Pakistan now as -- any other leads. You know these this may end up being a dry hole but the sources that I've heard this from our our relative and -- in the past they've been very reliable."

" I didn't ever plays -- send money into Pakistan he could send it to your relatives heated senate to your friends you can -- consented to we have really bad people -- people who want to inflict death harm on others. -- everybody -- is it is there any indication which way this goes."

" Now that's one of the pieces of information that we're gonna try to be looking for over the next. Couple of days over the next couple weeks if we can't -- this further back I would think that the intelligence community whether it's in the DOD area or whether it's the FBI. They probably have this information at this time and -- probably share that with congress. When we finally get -- next week."

" I doubt that I've been pretty disturbed by the fact that up near the third first part of the show that the he's got that Walter Reed thought has some of the bad -- that basically try to hide and they dump them on port forward but. They Fort -- wants all their horrible doctors. But now what -- you said mr. three said that the intelligence community agencies can this have not yet briefed you or -- won't break -- wanna answer questions. Can you tell me what the delay isn't don't you have oversight over the -- sick and melodies agencies."

" That we absolutely do and I asked for briefing on Friday immediately after that and I was told on Saturday I could not get a briefing. And that they be more than willing to brief me on Tuesday while they knew that -- was not gonna be in session this week that we would be home. But now they -- to briefly by phone but I turned that down because what I've found over the weekend. Is that the media was actually doing a great job in moving this story forward they are the ones that brought four forward a lot -- lock key. You know they've brought forward a lot more information. And I had a lot of people coming to me and I thought they were giving me more information than what I was probably gonna get. From an intelligence briefing so I decided to wait. I've received no classified briefings I think I may have learned more about this process I might have learned more about -- side. And actually what was happening -- if I'd actually been briefed by the intelligence community. Because they haven't been that forthright sure they briefed us on Monday. But again I think there's a lot of information that they have that they haven't shared with us I'm looking forward to getting to the bottom of this."

" Right let me give you a hypothetical. Because that we don't know what -- what they have what the don't have. But is it fair to assume that our intelligence agency is summoned his big government we have someone knows -- whether or not there were financial transactions between. Doctor has time. Making -- sound and some made and the person it impacts analysts it's done through an underground network. And that they would have built that track those transfers going back -- have for any substantial period of time went that the information there. If it occurred --"

" Yeah I think if those transactions occurred I believe that. Through the FBI or other means that we would have the ability to identify and track those remember now we've got. Has sun's computers we've got all probably have access to all of his financial records and those types of things we would be able to identify."

" That's -- why -- happy. -- If it if it -- happen but I guess it's classified if -- it sent it to a particular figure that we're tracking that I would remain classified right."

" I've -- it would probably remain classified although I'm not sure that it would need to be -- that would need to -- classified. They help we've had this issue over and over Greta if the if intelligence community too often over classifies information. That many of us believe should readily be available to all members of congress and should be made available to the American people."

" Well I think the American people are eager to find out about this and and would like to hear that mark government more than through quote leaks -- stuff -- we get some level of you know confidence it's not just. Filed rumors president thank you sir. Always good to be way to thank you Greta."
