Transcripts For CNNW CNN Newsroom With Ana Cabrera 20170311

Especially blindsided by the order to step down and not because it came with zero warning. But because back in november, President Trump actually asked bharara to stay on the job. Listen to what bharara told reporters inside trump tower, just after that meeting. Assuming because hes a new yorker and is aware of the great work that discuss whether or not i would be prepared to stay on. As the United States attorney. To do the work as we have done it. Independently, without fear without the last seven years, we had a good meeting, i said i would absolutely consider staying on. I agreed to stay on. Ive already spoken to senator sessions. Who is nominated to be the attorney general. He also asked that i stay on and so i suspect that ill be working at the Southern District of new york zmxt well get back to that. I want to let you know about a second breaking news story. A shocking White House Security breach. And now new bizarre details on the suspect in this case, that story is just moments away. Lets begin now with the firing of Preet Bharara, our currents and analysts are covering every angle. Laura jarrett what are you learning. How all of this went down over the last 24 hours. Youll remember yesterday that we got word from the Justice Department, that 46 of the president ially appointed u. S. Attorneys. Had been asked to resign. But this morning we lenard that Preet Bharara said no. And he had no intentions to resign unless the president fired him and late they are morning or this afternoon i should say, the acting Deputy Attorney general, dana boente gave mr. Bharara a call to see if it was true that he was intending not to resign. Bharara told him that was the case and mr. Boente called him back and said the president had fired him. Were getting a lot of reaction. From different democrats. On capitol hill. And were also seeing a statement from the attorney general of new york if we have it up there. He is making this political. And saying that this just shows that the president s abrupt and unexplained zings to summarily remove 40 u. S. Attorneys has once again caused chaos in the federal government. And has led to questions about the Justice Departments vital and nonpartisan work. And whether it will continue under attorney general sessions as it must. Again thats from the attorney general in new york, eric schneiderman. Ana. As you mentioned, were getting more statements, people are reacting in a dramatic fashion to this particular firing. Even though he was among 46 u. S. Attorneys who were asked to resign. And the statement were getting from schumer, the u. S. Senator of course, Preet Bharara has been an exemplary u. S. Attorney for the Southern District of new york. His drive to root out corruption, lock up terrorists and take on wall street and stand up for whats right should serve as a model for all u. S. Attorneys across the country. Sarah gannam you are following this man, Preet Bharara. Fill us in on what more youve learned about his work here in new york . One of the most wellrespected and powerful u. S. Attorneys in the country. Preet bharara was appointed almost eight years ago by president barack obama. He had been chief counsel to Senate Minority leader chuck schumer. Schumer has emerged as one of the chief adversaries of donald trump. In 2009 it was schumer who encouraged obama to appoint bharara after one of bhararas investigations led then attorney general Alberto Gonzales to resign. Bhararas office prosecuted everything from terrorists, like the attempted times square bomber to International Russian crime bosses to the Hacking Group anonymous. But bharara perhaps best known for going after Corruption Cases. Most notably, the wall street Corruption Cases. This Time Magazine cover in 2012 really says it all. They said this man is busting wall street. They called him the enforcer. And he was greatly feared there. He prosecuted dozens of Insider Trading and securities fraud cases. Including Bernie Madoffs brother. Of course his Corruption Cases went beyond wall street. Bharara was appointed by a democratic president , but he was well known for his nonpartisan investigations. Going after both dems and republicans until todays firing he was actually in the middle of the two investigations involving the offices of the two most powerful democrats enter the said. He with a was set to try two former aides to Governor Cuomo accused of bribe anded byrigging and investigating new york city mayor bill de blasio. Looking into allegations of pay to play. He led a federal important federal district. The Southern District of new york. Whats in that district . Trump tower is in that district so any federal investigation that would include for example wiretapping would have fallen under Preet Bhararas office. Until today of course, it still falls in the Southern District of new york. I want to add that a couple of minutes ago i talked to some people who worked with him. Who said that this really did come as a shock. Given the fact that he was told back in november that he would be able to stay on. That was really a shock to that office. Laura jarrett, our thanks to you. I want to also bring in a Harvard Law School professor emeritus, Alan Dershowitz about how unprecedented this was. We know that it is not unprecedented. For president s to come in and kind of clean house. And eventually put in people who are more representative of who they want to see in these positions. Bill clinton did it, george w. Bush did it. It hasnt been something thats new. So the way this was handled was certainly new and now to learn that he previously gave this particular u. S. Attorney his word that he could stay on or even asked him to stay on, to turn around and fire him, what do you make of it . What could have changed between then and now . Thats the question that we are all entitled to know the answer to. And obviously, the president owed Preet Bharara a phone call. He had offered him a job, sent him out in front of television cameras, he had said, i have the job. The president told me i have the job. I spoke to the designated attorney general i have the job. Then to embarrass him by sending essentially a form letter saying i want your resignation, that was not the right way to handle this. Not only was he entitled to a phone call and an explanation, we, the american public, are entitled to an explanation. Why was this nonpartisan prosecutor with one of the most superb reputations of any prosecutor in modern history. Suddenly fired. Does it represent some fear from having an independent prosecutor look into the wiretap allegations, look into the Current Issues that are being investigated . Were entitled to get the answer to that question. And congress should get to the bottom of it by calling people from the Justice Department and inquiring what the reason was. Youre right that all president s have the right to seek the resignation for the sitting u. S. Attorneys. The to first offer a job to a sitting u. S. Attorney and with no aparent change to withdraw it, that requires an explanation . On your point about him being a nonpartisan player, in doing his job. Hes specifically talks about that in the statement. Since he was fired. Saying one hallmark of justice is absolute independence. And that was my touchstone every day, that i served. Given your expertise in the courts. Do you think he was the most powerful u. S. Attorney. He certainly was among the most powerful. Certainly the most powerful when it came to wall street. The good news is there are some great people who are now eligible to be appointed. There are some nonpartisan people there are people who work within the office for a long period of time. Its an office with a tremendous tradition. Ive been opposed to him on many cases, ive been critical of some of their actions, but nobody can criticize the fact that its been an office of High Integrity and the position of u. S. Attorney in the Southern District has been filled by some of the great prosecutors in history. And this is an office that must be filled now, by a person who is a bipartisan, great distinction and is acceptable to republicans and democrats alike and to the bar. I hope that we will see somebody appointed to that position, will be able to replace the adequate distinguished attorney. The work will go on. They will continue the current investigations, no one is going to stop them. So were not going to see a dramatic shift in policy. There are some big, legal issues that are before the courts right now. The immigration policies. The travel ban set to take effect. Theres the ongoing investigations that are at very high levels and to trumps claims about wiretapping that he brought up last week. As well as the russian investigations, we know that the u. S. Department of justice has a heavy role in this administration. The removal of these 46 u. S. Attorneys having impact on that kind of work. Not the immigration. That is being brought by state attorneys general and being brought in court. And the Justice Department defends from washington those kinds of cases. But it will have an impact on some cases that are more local. Ongoing investigations. But you know, the u. S. Attorneys office has a tradition of being bipartisan and nonpartisan. I dont think was suddenly going to see investigations only of democrats and not of republicans. I think anybody who gets the job of u. S. Attorney is going to want to go down in history as somebody who maintained the tradition of that office. Its a very, very high tradition going back a long period of time. Its had some very vigorous attorneys in it. Rudy giuliani who is very tough. The current u. S. Attorney was tough. Bob morganthat will. I think well see bipartisan progressiveness, replace Preet Bharara. He was the best. He had a unique reputation for seven years, welldeserved for running a very good office and i think the president should have treated him with more respect. Should have had a discussion, should have jointly come to some resolution with timing as to when this occurred. It shouldnt have occurred like overnight suddenly. Thats not the way you run the Justice Department. Professor allen dershowitz, thanks for your expertise. I want to turn to a stunning White House Security breach and bizarre details. The president was inside the white house residence when this intruder was finally stopped outside just a few hundred feet away. This intruder has been identified as 26yearold Jonathan Tran. He said i am a friend of the president and i have an appointment. Thats what the Police Reports say he told the security officer. In a few hours tran is due to be arraigned in court today. Heres what President Trump had to say about this midnight security lapse. Secret service did a fantastic job last night. I appreciate it. Secret service did a fantastic job. It was a troubled person. Very sad. The secret service was fantastic. Now the suspect made it all the way to the south portico entrance before the secret service stopped him. Lets bring in cnns athena jones, live following the story for us outside the white house. Athena, i understand you have new details . I do. Were learning from the prosecutor, the suspect is being arraigned. We learned it from the prosecutor, that the suspect had in his backpack that he was carrying, two cans of mace and a passport. This is according to the prosecutor, during this Court Appearance thats taking place, earlier, we were told that the suspects back pacpack had been examined and no Hazardous Materials were found. Rewinding to what happened this went down late last night, 11 38 p. M. According to secret service, the suspect scaled the south grounds fence, of the white house complex. Were getting different details from the secret service and from the Police Report put out by the Washington Metropolitan Police department and so it appears from the details in that report that the suspect made it over at least two barriers, because the Police Report that the suspect jumped over the northwest courtyard fence which is right behind me. A very serious matter. The suspect making it over these fences and all the way to the south portico door. You see the president use it, oftentimes when hes leaving the white house to get on marine one you see him come out the door to greet visitors like a couple of weeks ago, the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu. Its very concerning that the suspect got that close just a couple hundred feet from the president s bedroom. Athena, the president did come out and speak about this incident essentially thanking the secret service. Commending the job that they did. He also seemed to believe that the suspect had Mental Health issues, are you learning any more about whether he indeed has a Mental Health history. I know his family is speaking out. What are you hearing from that . His family is speaking out. We should make it clear that the suspect had no criminal history and no history with the secret service. You did hear the president call the suspect troubled. Thats the word that was used by his family. A cnn producer reached out to trans younger brother, brian, in california. Who said that his older brother was troubled after being laid off from his job at an Electrical Engineering company. Brian tran said that his brother, jonathan was living in his car and eating junk food. Jonathan, who is 26 years old. Graduated from san jose state university. With an Electrical Engineering degree, his brother said he had been stressed out from the job. We also know from brian tran that the secret Service Called the family at home on friday night to inform them of this fencejumping incident. And he said that his mother is very troubled about the matter. So that is what were hearing from trans family. About the suspect. And very quickly. You mentioned he is in court right now. A few new details. Any idea why he jumped the fence . Its not clear, certainly his family said he was troubled. The president called him troubled. There may not be reason beyond that were not just clear well have to wait for more details. Wait to hear what more the suspect might say. We know from the Police Report that he talked about having an appointment with the president , called himself a friend of the president , it doesnt appear that he was aiming to necessarily harm him. But again we just dont know, we know he was carrying mace in that backpack. We know he made it very close to the residence. Though not inside the residence. Athena jones, thank you for your report.

The number of illegal border crossings dropped dramatically last month in the Southwest Corner of the nation, the reason . Uncertain. It might be President Trumps tough talk on immigration or it might just be the weather. Cnns Polo Sandoval explains. Were getting some very, very bad players out of this country. Drug lords. Gang members. Heads of gangs. Killers, murderers, were getting them out. President trumps tough talk on illegal immigration may be a driving force behind a dramatic drop at the nations southwest border. Customs and Border Protection announcing the number of illegal border crossings fell by 40 between january and february. Homeland security chief john kelly calls it an early sign that the comprehensive Immigration Enforcement can make an impact. The white house taking it a step further. These measures reflect that both the economy and the border are already responding to the president s agenda. But a former immigration and Customs Enforcement chief under the Obama Administration says its too soon to say if the decline is because of trumps policies or something else. The number of undocumented border crossings tend to decrease seasonally, dropping in the winter months and increasing in the spring. Illegal crossings appear to have slowed. They havent stopped. Ill belle, a woman who didnt want her face shown waits at a migrant shelter in juarez, preparing to cross illegally with her three kids. We are afraid, but my children is what trifs me to fight fr a better life. Trumps tough stance on immigration will not deter her. Is the wall still the president was very clear, the president committed to doing it. To the american people. If the president still faces skepticism from within his own party. Do you believe that mexico will pay for it . No. Polo sandoval. Cnn. Atlanta. The u. S. Attorney for the Southern District of new york is out of a job.

Attorney Preet Bharara who up until this point had been refusing to step down has now been formally fired by President Trump. He was among dozens of u. S. Attorneys asked to resign with little notice by the Justice Department just yesterday. Sources say bharara was blindsided by this order to step down because back in november then president elect trump had asked him to stay on. Turning to that white house intruder, our other breaking news, just moments ago 26yearold Jonathan Tran was in court. And a Prosecutor Says tran was carrying two cans of mace when he got within just a few hundred feet of the president s private residence. The president was inside when tran was finally stopped near the South Entrance of the executive residence. The intruder said quote im a friend of the president and i have an appointment. His brother said tran recently lost his job. He seemed troubled and was living in his car eating junk food. Meantime the battle continues today over what to do about your health care. As even republicans struggle to see eye to eye on their proposed health care bill. Lawmaker the on both sides of the aisle are awaiting the estimate on how much this new plan could cost. The highly respected and bipartisan kpgal Budget Office is working on that estimate. But cnn chief Business Correspondent Christine Romans reports, some of the gop are already trying to discredit their findings. This week the congressional Budget Office is expected to release the price tag on the gops obamacare replacement bill. The white house and some republicans are questioning the cbos credibility. Their argument, the cbo was wrong about obamacare. So why believe it now . Well it is true, the agency did get a few things wrong. Like how Many Americans would sign up. It predicted 22 moip people, only about half of that enrolled last year. That error is partly because fewer employers dropped Health Coverage than predicted. And more americans were eligible for medicaid. The cbo was also wrong about costs, it predicted 132 billion dollars, but the actual pricetag was 22 billion less. Theres one stat the cbo got right. How many adults would be insured. The agency predicted 89 by 2016. The actual number was 89. 7 , up 7 before the Exchange Open and the cbo may be nonpartisan, but the the battle over the obamacare replacement bill wont be. Thank you, Vice President mike pence pressing the need for republican support in congress to overhaul the Nations Health care system. The Vice President was in kentucky, the home of one republican senator who is openly opposed to the current republican bill. Senator rand paul joining me now. Wajahad ali contributor to the New York Times and cnn political analyst david drucker. This appearance in kentucky, was it a direct shot at senator rand paul . It might have been. If so, it was a waste of time. I think this might have been the administration looking for a friendly crowd. Youre never going to move rand paul on anything, he just won reelection in 2016 if hes going to be pressured, check back with him in four or five years. The thing to watch, is where does the president go next. Hes going to nashville. Nobody has targeted there, thats where hes going this week to sell the Health Care Plan. It will be interesting to watch. This will be a real test of his leadership. A lot of people come out against the bill. But Health Care Reform was never going to be easy. It was always going to be complicated. So i think the thing is, if the president is the negotiator that hes cracked up to be, this is where hes going to be tested. And well have to see how this unfolds. Wajahad, kentucky is largely trump territory, it makes sense that they would be rallying the troops behind this Health Care Plan there. Its interesting because a lot of the folks in kentucky have benefitted if obamacare, right . Exactly. Let them have iphones is the new republican version of let them have cake. Im quoting jason chaff its of chaffe chaffetz. Now theyre realizing that obamacare that benefitted them, they might lose it and they might lose their Health Coverage. So of course mike pence has to go there and convince the base that our plan is better. According to the numbers and what we know so far, the rural, lowclass, lowincome and the white workers specifically from these regions, kentucky, west virginia, places in tennessee, were talking about red states, theyre going to be the ones who lose out the most with this new American Health care act. Which is also being called trump care, which is on social media being called trump no care. Youre not going to move rand paul. Theyre going to try to rally the bases in condition. Probably have to go to tennessee and west virginia. It seems like an uphill slog. I dont think theyre going to get it. I know that more than 400,000 kentuckiens, if thats how you, they prefer to be called. They are benefitting from that medicaid expansion. Which has been so contentious this week. We know there are more conservative republicans who want to see that medicare expansion thats part of obamacare. Ended immediately. The current republican plan has that sunset date somewhere in 2020. How do you sell this plan, to those folks who have the medicaid benefits of obamacare. Heres the tension is that republicans are trying to create a bill that does everything people like about obamacare which includes the medicaid expansion. Even though theyre going to overhaul how medicaid works, reform it and allow the states to run the program. A lot of people signed up through the expansion that republican governors took on even when they reject other parts of obamacare. They want to give governors what they need. At the same time, theyre trying to create a conservative health care policy. That still keeps things like preexisting conditions, allowing you to keep your kids on your policies, until theyre 26 years old, adults. And its hard to do that. Thats the tension here. Is paying for all of these things that people like about obamacare, but getting rid of taxes and mandates that people didnt like and actually have made this Health Care System not work as advertised. Because you had rising premiums, you had a loss of choice, youve had Insurance Companies pulling out of exchange, even before it was clear that trump was going to be the president and obviously dismantle it. So theyre trying to do things that are difficult from a policy perspective and theyre trying to sell it as everything is going to be great without talking up what they think is really good about the plan while admitting some of the things that are going to change. What is the biggest problem with this plan, wajahad . The biggest problem is that its cruel and its going to affect those people who need insurance the most. Were talking low income, middleclass, white rural workers, a republican plan that many republicans say doesnt go far enough in gutting medicaid, in gugt medicare and removing the taxes from the highincome folks and finding the money. I dont know how theyre going to find the money to pay for this. I think whats really clear is they should have actually improved obamacare. You dont think its perfect . Make it better. Had six years to come up with a plan and this is the best they can do. Mainstream republicans are against it and even breitbart said it will attack the low class, rural workers, white base in places like kentucky and west virginia. And i think were going to see with the new congressional budget bipartisan review thats going to come out. Youre going to see people lose their Health Care Insurance and see rising premiums based on the math. Its going to be a lose lose, and its up to the Republican Administration and trump to use his negotiation deal, the art of the deal to sell a lem ton the millions of american who is voted for him. President trump was golfing today while his Vice President was on the stump for this Health Care Reform bill. How do you think hes doing as a president trying to sell this legislation . Time is going to tell. I think the rollout was choppy and could have been a lot better. Im surprised they didnt have the president front and center rolling this thing out. Why wasnt he rallying . He loves these rallies, right . He does. So it will be interesting to see what he says in nashville this week when he rallies for the First Time Since the bill was rolled out. I also want to see if he ends up in some of these districts where you have republicans that are resisting the health care bill. Hes going to have to try to find a way to craft a compromise between republicans who support the bill and most of them do. And the majority that oppose the bill without making the kind of major changes that the minority that opposes the bill want. Because its just not possible to, do given how theyve laid this thing out. The Koch Brothers dont like it and theyre very influential. So good luck, donald trump. Thanks to both of you. Up next, the fbi investigating what it describes as an odd computer link.

Federal investigators are still trying to figure out what kind of server connection computer server may exist between the Trump Organization and a russian bank. One u. S. Official tells cnn investigations have found the relationship between the two servers odd. Senior International Correspondent Fred Pleitgen joins us from moscow with the latest on the investigation. Fred . Well ana, we reached out to alpha bank and we asked the comment on this matter. They said they had seen cnns new reporting on all of this. And we asked them for a statement and they said they wanted to talk the matter over internally and they would then get back to us. However they called back say about three or four hours later and said they had indeed discussed this and there was nothing further that they had to add. Now in the past what they said is that on the one hand, they claim in a none of their top executives ever had any sort of contacts with President Trump or with any of his Business Partners or with the Trump Enterprises and there were no financial dealings, either. The way that they explained what happened with these dns lookups a they say that their hypothesis is that they believe possibly some of their executives, possibly some other employees may have stayed at some trump hotels in the past. May have given their email addresses there while they may be were checking in and then what happened is that trump servers made have sent emails, advertising emails back to servers of the alpha bank and therefore, that triggered some of the cyberprotection that they have and that that in turn triggered that dns lookup. They said they also launched an investigation, its never clear what happened to that investigation or whether they came to any sort of final conclusion. So there are a lot of questions out there. A little bit about alpha bank, the bank is actually very independent. Its not in any way, shape or form owned by the russian government. In fact it really is a bank that prides itself at keeping an arms length towards the russian government. Thats only possible to a certain extent in a widely regulated and restricted environment like the Business Environment in russia. There are some indicative things, the bank and none executives are on any sort of sanctions list of the European Union or of the United States. The other interesting thing about this bank is that even though you have these horrible relations or nonrelations right now between russia and ukraine, this bank alpha Bank Actually still does business in the ukraine. That business apparently isnt going all too badly. It really doesnt seem as if the bank has any ties to the russian government. As far as this server communication is concerned. There still are a lot of Unanswered Questions out there. Ana. Thank you so much, Fred Pleitgen. When we come back, she discov discovered nude photos of herself circulating the internet without her consent while she was serving her country in the marine corps.

Cnn is learning that four branchs of the military are looking into the origin of nude photos of female servicemembers posted on various websites without their consent. Mopping those photos, predatory language. Even encouragement of sexual assault. Cnn National Correspondent Diane Gallagher is working the story for us. And diane, any indication at this point who is behind these photos . So ana, theres an ongoing criminal investigation, but the marines top general says it seems to have perpetuated from a subculture within. This were 30,000 members of this private Facebook Page, posting and sharing the photos. A military official has told us that at least one person has been disciplined and i. T. Subcontractor in connection with these photos but from what weve learned over the past couple of days it appears the first Facebook Page might just be the tip of the iceberg. In august 2016, i learned that a photo of me was posted on marines united Facebook Page without my consent. 23yearold erica buttner speaking out. I am disheartened and disgusted with this scandal. The site is called marines united, a private Facebook Group which posts hundreds of photos of active and retired female Service Members, some of the photos show the women naked. The group has 30,000 members. And the photos are posted without the womens consent sometimes listing their names, ranks and social media handles. Multiple victims recently began speaking out about those unauthorized posts. But they received threats and backlash in an attempt to quiet them. This is our problem and i own it. We own it. General neller spoke to the press condemning those involved. News toke when troms brennan. Marines and the naval criminal investigation service.
