Transcripts For CNNW CNN Newsroom With Ana Cabrera 20190519

Insight into the president s thinking and how the white house is handling the various controversies its facing. Theres been no formal press briefing in at least 69 days now. Back to this weekend, the justice the congressman, i should say, justin amash, who is calling for the president s impeachment, hes the only republican in the house to do that so far. A republican senator told cnn today that its not time to talk impeachment on his side of capitol hill. Cnns Boris Sanchez is at the white house right now. Boris, the president accusing this congressman of just trying to, quote, get his name out there through controversy. Any other republicans weighing in on this back and forth . Reporter hey, ana, yeah, the chairwoman of the Republican National committee, rhana mcdaniel weighed in, in his words, parroting democratic talking points. He also see a tweet from a state representative in michigan, jim lower. Hes a trump supporter and his tweets seem to suggest hed challenge Justin Amashs seat in the 2020 election, so keep your eyes pealed for that. The most notable republican to speak out on that, mitt romney, spoke on state of the union and said he respects justin amarshal and decision to stick to his guns and perspective on this, he does not believe the president committed impeachable offenses. Listen to what he told jake this morning. My own view is that justin amash has reached a different conclusion than i have. I respect him. I think its a courageous statement. But i believe that to make a case for obstruction of justice, you just dont have the elements that are evidenced in this document. And i also believe that an impeachment call is not only something that relates to the law, but also considers practicality and politics. And the American People just arent there. And i think those that are considering impeachment have to look also at the jury which would be the senate. The senate is certainly not there, either. Everyone reaches their own conclusion. As i read the report, i was troubled by it. Was very disappointing. For a number of reasons. But it did not suggest to me that this was time to call for impeachment. Meantime, democrats are pretty divided. On one hand, you have senator Elizabeth Warren as you know, ana, is running for president. She supports impeachment. She had kind woods for justin amash today at a Campaign Event and House Speaker nancy pelosi doesnt want to waste time on impeachment when he could be voted out of office in about two year. Beyond that, she made the case President Trump commits impeachable act every day, ana. Boris sanchez, thank you for that. Earlier, i spoke to Eric Swalwell of california, 1 of 23 democrats running for president. I asked him about congressman amash calling President Trumps actions impeachable and whether hes ready to begin impeachment proceedings. Heres our conversation. Were on a ooed road to impeachment. Its not a road any of us want to go on. Its a bipartisan road it looks like. I will tell you, ana, mr. Amash is someone from the day the russians did this, he and i worked together to put forward legislation to have an independent commission. I believe that we should put what the russians did and to study it out of congress and into the hands of experts and scholars and statespersons. Every democrat joined me when i wrote that legislation. Only two republicans. Justin amash was one of them. So hes showed courage very early on. And so im not surprised that hes standing up for whats right today. Just to clarify, when you say, were on the road to impeachment, are you ready to call for impeachment at this time . Well, im on the judiciary committee. Im you know, im actually one of the only i am the only president ial candidate who would actually have to try the case on that committee, and so what i want to do is make sure that as we go down this road, that we get the full Mueller Report, that we hear from bob mueller, that we hear from don mcgahn and that we are not doing donald trump justice, which if we did donald trump justice, we would just already reach the conclusion and not rely on the facts. I still believe in the rule of law. I think the rule of law, responsibly, would dictate us to start having, you know, the full Mueller Report and these hearings immediately but i think thats where we ultimately end up. We did have hundreds of prosecutors, former federal prosecutors, who came out in recent weeks saying that they see with their own eyes in the Mueller Report the redacted portion of it. That the president obstructed justice. Again, you have a law degree, yourself. If he obstructed justice, whats your hesitation to say its time to impeach . I was a prosecutor as well, and hes a doubledigit obstructor by bob muellers standards. Again, ana, to me, its just i dont want to do donald trump justice. When this president is impeached, i want it to have the weight of the process and the order that respectfully gave him a fairer trial than he deserves, so im certainly not taking it off the saying the best thing we can do, get bob mueller in, see the full report which right now the president could just order it to be released to us. He said hes 100 exonerated. Well, if thats the case, he should give us. 100 of the report. I want to ask you more about your oversight responsibilities. All these different probes into the president. Right now, cnn is aware of at least 21 subpoenas relating to the president. What do you say to those who argue you are overreaching . Not conducting oversight . Well, we can walk and chew gum because this congress has pass passed background checks. We passed the equality act last week, gives the lgbtq act. We passed the voting act. Has independent redistricting commissions in every single state so our elections are no longer rigged through gerrymandering. That means we also have a responsibility to put a balance of power on all of these pieces of power. We cant look the other way just because there are other priorities. Its a lot of work. Certainly more than i think you would ever see any congress have to do with any president. But were up for the job. And making sure that this is still a country of free ideas, free markets, and a free press. That is our top responsibility. Youre a father. Youre a husband. Over the last if few wefew weeke states passed incredibly restrictive abortion laws. You said you would only nominate Supreme Court justices who promise to uphold roe v. Wade. Do you think 2020 is going to be a battle over the Supreme Court . Yes. And it must be. And i would only appoint justices that uphold the law. And also, i would fight to make sure that we put into law more protections in congress that cement the roe v. Wade ruling including repealing the Hyde Amendment which essentially only allows women of wealth and means to have Abortion Services while any other woman who receives government helt caalth care is prohibited from doing so. Thats a benefit from frhaving young people in the white house, issues facing young people to student debt, which i have, to having kids safe in our schools, to a woman being able to make her own health care decisions. You talk about, yes, you believe the Supreme Court is going to be a major issue for 2020. I talkeded to ed ted to to peop campaign in 2016 who voted for donald trump because the Supreme Court was such a big issue for them. What makes you think democrats would have the upper hand this time around . Its the cost of us not recognizing how big of an issue it was in 2016. Now that we have, you know, two justices on the bench who probably will not uphold the ruling in roe v. Wade and also, i weve seen the devastating effects of money in politics because the Supreme Court said that money is speech and that corporations are people. And so being a president who would do all i could to get rid of the dirty money and the dirty map math that pollute our government, structurally, its really poisoning our democracy. Congressman Eric Swalwell, really appreciate your time. Thank you. Thank you, my pleasure, ana. Lets bring in cnns senior political analyst david gergen. He served as an adviser to four u. S. President s including nixon and clinton. I mentioned nixon and clinton specifically because they both faced the threat of impeachment. David, this weekend we have republican congressman justin amash speaking out saying trumps actions are impeachable. So far, democrats, democrats, in fact, are still divided on this issue of impeachment and more republicans, we arent seeing exactly rushing forward to side with congressman amash, so does amash weighing in change anything . Not very much. It we do know now that hes not only one of the most conservative members of congress, but hes also one of the bravest because hes surely inviting a possibility of a challenge the next time out when he runs and hes been there now hes in his fifth term now. So he knows what hes getting into. He has not been afraid its important to understand, he has been a lone voice often in the wilderness in the Republican Party when it comes to donald trump now for a couple of years. You go all the way back to 2017 when he was talking about the possible impeachment of the president , what various how he might meet the threshold now hes called for. I think in some ways more significant with what he had to say today was what mitt romney had to say because amash was an expected, you know, person, but romney is someone, you know, has been unclear which way he was going to come out on the big issues and for him to try to put a quash on impeachment i think speaks a lot about how little appetite there is among republicans in the senate to support impeachment proceedings. Is there anything that you think could break the dam or sort of flip the switch as you put it, perhaps, hearing from mueller himself . I think the i think the next big chapter, opening, for this whole effort is going to be mueller, unless Something Else breaks, mueller serving as a witness because i think we havent he sort of has a voice of god quality about him, doesnt he . Hed been so silent and has so many things to clarify. That will be mustwatching for anybody who cares about politics and about the presidency. Its also still up in the air if don mcgahn, the president s former white house counsel, will testify before the house y judiciary, which is supposed to happen on tuesday. The white house, we know, ordered him not to comply with the subpoena for documents last week and he apparently listened to them. What do you make of the white houses intervention and will it extend to his scheduled public testimony . Well, i think the white house is taking a risk. They clearly want to prevent any more news stories coming out and sort of close this whole thing down as Mitch Mcconnells trieded to do in the senate. I do think going with one of your questions to congressman swalwell, 21 different subpoenas out there, at least a dozen investigations under way, i do think that is its so many. Its hard for anybody to keep up with it. Much less people who are paying sort of modest amount of attention. And i think the democrats would be so much better off if they collected themselves under one committee and did sort of a systemic runthrough as opposed to this scattergun approach which i think is leaving everyone confused. And, you know, frankly, may get boring after a while unless they come up with some stuff pretty quickly. I want to talk more about 2020 because we have 23 democrats please. Running and as of right kn now, we have joe biden leading the field. He held his First Official rally yesterday. He didnt shy away from attacking President Trump. Lets listen. While hes lashing out at his political opponents, obsessing over his personal grievance, look, heres the most important thing to remember. The rest of the world isnt waiting. Isnt waiting. China isnt waiting. Theyre building 5g. Mastering a. I. Theyre rewriting the rules of the internet. Theyre moving into areas that should not be abandoned by us. The rest of the world hasnt given up on the paris climate accord. Theyre pushing it. They know its essential to human existence. It seems like theres been some disagreements between democrats over whether to attack trump personally or on policy. Do you think joe biden did a good job there of finding a way to do both . Yes, i do. So far, its working for him. Better than anybody could have expected. Nobody thought by this time in a race he would essentially have twice as much support as a Bernie Sanders whos second to him only. Sort of like an 18 for sanders versus 36 or so for biden. So hes opened up this lead and i think its because he has understood from the start that the one thing democrats agree on is the need to get trump out of there. And i do think, if i may add, ana, this alabama statute, its now leading the charge in trying to bring down roe v. Wade. I think thats going to change the race a lot. Its going to mobilize women again. You know, the me too movement and women the marches have fallen off some here in the last 12 months or so, and i think that the whole issue of abortion is going to reenergize a lot of women. The whole notion that we could have five men on the Supreme Court tell four people in the minority, three of whom are women, what women ought to do with their bodies, important to a lot of people. So do can you think this abortion issue, should it become a defining issue of 2020, could backfire on republicans and democrats would stand to benefit most . Yes, i do. When you start with a proposition that 58 of americans today believe that most or all abortions should be legal, and thats 20 more than the conservative side, you already can feel that where the weight of the public is on this. But its also true, and when the republicans try to carve out exceptions for rape, incest, as well as the health of the mother, which is where, you know, President Trump has come out in tweets this weekend and others like mccarthy are supporting those exceptions, that is such a small part of what is objectionable to most women. It does not deal with the fact in this alabama law, if roe v. Wade is overturned, all abortion, all abortions, no matter where you are in your term, all abortions would be banned unless you had rape, incest, or health of the mother. So that is a very draconian view and in addition, people who talk about exceptions and trying to lighten up on the alabama law, they havent said a word about criminalizing abortion and the doctors in if alabama, if roe v. Wade is struck down, doctors in alabama could spend up to 99 years in prison. A life sentence. Of course. Thats a life sentence. So wheres a woman going to get an abortion like this . I think this issue hasnt been fully unpacked before the country to think it through. And i think that i do think that there are a lot of women who are going to respond angrily if they think a bunch of old white guys are going to cram this down their throats. All right, david gergen, i always appreciate your insight. Thank you for being here. Thank you, ana. Thank you. Just in, we have this, President Trump tweeting a veiled threat to iran. Warning never threaten the United States again. What he says will happen if it does. And senator Bernie Sanders in alabama marching against one of the most restrictive abortion laws in the country. But as a common message emerges among 2020 candidates on the debate, will it win over voters .

Senator Bernie Sanders right now marching alongside activists in a socalled march for reproductive freedom in alabama. He just wrapped up a Campaign Rally in birmingham. The vermont senator had plenty to say about alabamas new law concerning abortion and women. Lets get right out to cnn correspondent ryan nobles there in birmingham, alabama. Ryan, what are you hearing from sanders today on the abortion rights issue . Reporter well, theresana, n is trying to capitalize on the fact this abortion law was passed in alabama and something of great concern to democratic voters across the country. You can see here behind me, this is a march for reproductive freedom. This is directly in response to the law that was passed at alabama. And the message here from Bernie Sanders is he is with this group of protesters. That he believes that they are on the right side of this law and wants to make sure they understand that he has been with them on this issue from the very beginning. In fact, sanders kind of broke away from his normal stump speech at his rally earlier today in birmingham to specifically address this abortion law. Take a listen. Right now, all across the United States, there is a wellfunded attack coordinated by rightwing extremists to deny women the right to control their own bodies and their own futures. Apparently, the Alabama Legislature and governor actually believe that it is appropriate to force a woman to have the baby of her rapist. And we will fight them in every way possible. Because if they are implemented, the consequences will be absolutely disastrous and threaten the very lives of women. Were talking about lifeanddeath issues here. Reporter we should point out that sanders originally was not intending on making abortion a big part of this Southern Campaign swing. This rally in this event was planned a long time ago, but they adjusted because of whats happened here in alabama over the past month. Now, were expecting sanders to join up with these protesters and take part in this march right now. Its proving to be a little logistically difficult for the senator to join the group right now, but we do expect that to happen at some point, ana. Obviously, a large number of protesters here out protesting this law. Sanders wants to show them that hes with them. Ana . I got your back, ryan. Make sure he isnt passing you by. As youre talking to me. Havent seen him yet. Keep us posted on any new developments from there. Thank you, sir.

The paper reporting Deutsche Banks antiMoney Laundering specialists once recommended transactions involving entities controlled by President Trump and soninlaw and adviser Jared Kushner be reported to a u. S. Agency that investigates financial crimes. The transactions in question were flagged in 2016 and 2017. So while trump was running for president and during his first year in office. Executives at Deutsche Bank, however, never did anything with them the times says, quotes former and current employees saying the bank rejected the advice of its specialists and never filed reports with the government. The times points out the transactions being flagged werent necessarily improper, still, the story is significant because Deutsche Bank has been one of the very few banks willing to lend money to the Trump Organization in recent years. I want to bring in the man behind this reporting, david enrich is the finance editor at the New York Times. David, really interesting article. Thank you for sharing your reporting with us. What can you tell us about these transactions . Why did they raise red flags with antiMoney Laundering specialists . Well, thats a good question, and at the outset i should say we dont really know. What we do know is that the a number of trumprelated entities including the Trump Foundation and Kushner Companies, which is Jared Kushners big real estate company, both were doing business doing transactions outside of the United States that sparked concerns among antiMoney Laundering experts. We know that the kushner transactions involved the Kushner Companies sending money to people to russian individuals, and that the way the systems work is that the bank is a Computer System that automatically screens thousand and thousands of transactions then those transactions go to human beings for further review and investigation. In all these cases after being screened by the Computer System, the humans who were investigating this and who were experts in looking for problematic transactions, all raised serious concerns about the money that was moving between trump entities and Kushner Companies and folks outside of the United States. Now, you point out in your reporting that not all transactions that are red flagged are necessarily inappropriate, but these employees that you spoke with say that Deutsche Bank has a generally lax approach to Money Laundering laws . Well, thats certainly the view of not only employees, but also of u. S. And european prosecutors and regulators. Deutsche bank has repeatedly run into trouble all over the world for laundering money, in particular for russians, i might add. Also for violating u. S. Sanctions, evading taxes, manipulating markets, things like that. And so Deutsche Bank runs a lot of its antiMoney Laundering programs s out of jacksonville, florida. I went down to jacksonville a couple weeks ago and started tau talking to employees there. One after the other told me it was a very lackadaisical approach and a number of them had experienced looking at trump and kushner transactions and said there was an enormous amount of pressure to essentially move the transactions along, not get in the way of what was a very lucrative business for the bank. So, these employees, these specialists, they flag some transactions to the higherups. Why did executives ultimately decide not to report these transactions to the government . It depends whom you ask. If you ask people at a senior level of the bank, they say because when they look further into these transactions, theres nothing there. There was nothing problematic. And they note that its not that uncommon for managers to overrule their employees and conclude that sometimes their concerns are unfounded. However, if you talk to the employees, a lot of the employees at a slightly lower level in your organization, the ones who actually did the investigations into these transactions, they suspect Something Else is going on which is that Deutsche Bank is the only bank that has consistently done business with donald trump the past two decades. It has an enormous amount of loans outstanding to him. Its a very lucrative relationship. The employees perception is the bank did not want to do anything that could possibly jeopardize that relationship or once trump became president and was running the Treasury Department which is the agency that investigates these transactions, didnt want to cause a political problem for itself. So theres a real dichotomy between the way the employees on the ground feel and what people a little l bit higher up in the bank insist was something pretty innocuous. Now cnn has obtained the statement from a Deutsche Bank spokeswoman who said in part, this, at no time was an investigator prevented from escalating activity identified as politically or potentially suspicious. Furthermore, the suggestion that anyone was reassigned or fired in an effort to quash concerns relating to any client is categorically false. David, Tammy Mcfadden is a former Deutsche Bank specialist you spoke to, you cite in this reporting. She said she was fired last year after she raised concerns about the banks practices. Do you know if she or others you interviewed have spoken to members of congress or state authorities looking into the president s finances . To my knowledge, none of them have spoken as of yet. I wouldnt be surprised if they get some inbound phone calls after the story. But the interesting thing about Tammy Mcfadden, she is actually standing up and doing what a lot of other Deutsche Bank people privately say they want do but dont have the depths to do it. So i have a tremendous amount of respect for her courage in actually putting her name behind this. David enrich, thank you, again, for being here and sharing that with us. My pleasure. Cnn also received a statement from a spokesperson for Jared Kushners companies and i quote, the New York Times tries to create scandalous stories which are totally false when they run out of things to talk about.

What a perfect time for your weekend president ial brief. With us now, Cnn National Security analyst sam vinograd, she helped prepare the president ial daily brief for president obama. Sam, what a difference a year doesnt make. Do you think the president is taking his cues from the National Security adviser, john bolton . I think john bolton is just a prop in this play. This is the trump show and kind of feels like were seeing reruns because rather than learn from past mistakes, President Trump is doubling down on them. Since his tweet last july threatening war with iran, historic consequences, the threat environment has gone from bad to worse. We had to evacuate diplomats from iraq because of threats. We have increased threats in the air, on land, and at sea, and despite all this, President Trump is still recklessly tweeting. He did briefly act president ial and opened the door to diplomacy, maybe iran didnt return his calls quickly enough, and hes reverted back toesq e e esculatory tweets. Typically in tense situations such as this the Intel Community reviews all the president s public statements to avoid unintended consequences. The regime can use a president s threats to inspire direct attacks against american interests all over the region. Instead of clearing his tweets with the ic, President Trump is tweeting with peoples lives here while hes watching fox news. That could have potentially fatal consequences. So now iran is saying taif been forced to resume some activities that were banned under the Iran Nuclear Deal the president has removed america from. Is a nucleararmed iran a threat . Its more of a threat today than a year ago when President Trump withdrew from the nuclear deal. We violated the agreement. Now iran is saying theyre going to violate some of their commitments, like, for example, theyre going to keep material that could be used for a weapon in country. Its not iran thats a nuclear threat. Because President Trump engaged in diplomacy with north korea, without requiring a trefreeze o their nuclear program, they probably have more Nuclear Weapons today than a year ago. At the same time, President Trump has withdrawn from arms control agreements with russia which means they can probably produce and preposition previously banned weapons more readily than before. China is continuing to modernize their nuclear forces. As iran moves closer to a nuclear weapon, its very likely that saudi arabia is going to pursue a matching nuclear capability. Now, its not exactly an Armed Conflict but the president has a lot on his plate with the trade issue. Right . He does. Not all trade wars are created equal, but President Trump is fighting them on multiple fronts. Hes fighting one with rival power, china, based on very real concerns about the illegal mechanisms they use to achieve their economic goals, which is nominally to lead in the hightech industries. At the same time, all isnt quiet on the western front. He picked a fight with our friends, china and mexico, for example, by imposing steel and aluminum tariffs. Internally, hes waging a war with congress as he tries to get a successor deal to nafta passed. Now, he did say last week that he was lifting steel and aluminum tariffs on canada and mexico, which could be a sign, ana, that finally, maybe, just maybe, hes realizing you have to pick your battles. All right. Sam vinograd, as always, learn a lot. Thank you. Thanks, ana. Be right back. Honest. Its kind of unfair that safe drivers have to pay as much for insurance.

Olly. Places of worship are supposed to be safe spaces. But in the u. S. , that is no longer the case. Security concerns are now part of their new reality. Cnns sara sidner explains in part two of our cnn special report hate in america. The synagogue is always a safe place to be. Were not supposed to be worried about anything. Reporter shell always worry now. She was a victim in a deadly attack at her california synagogue. Her father, who witnessed the attack, wanted to send this message to the president. I know donald trump, hes supporting israel, but there is more problem in the u. S. Than anywhere in the world. Instead of looking for a problem outside of the country, its better to look inside the country. Reporter over the past seven years, deadly attacks by mass shooters on places of worship have been a reoccurring nightmare in the u. S. In 2012, six people are gunned down at a sikh temple in wisconsin. That same year a prayer leader is killed at a church in college park, georgia. In 2015, nine worshippers are slaughtered at a predominantly black church in charleston. In 2017, 26 killed in sutherland springs, texas. And an antioch, tennessee, another person is gunned down at church. In 2018, 11 are murdered in the tree of life synagogue in pittsburgh. Six months later, one person is killed at a synagogue in california. Police say four of the attacks were perpetrated by men with white supremacist or neonazi ideals targeting their victims because of their skin color or religion. This pattern of deadly extremism is forcing religious leaders like rabbi goldstein to confront their new reality. After the pittsburgh event, the Sheriff Department hosted an active shooting workshop which we attended. Reporter in his synagogue, everyone but one congregant survived. He was injured. But if it wasnt for the shooters gun jamming, a congregant who jammed him it could have been a bloodbath. If we would have had an armed Security Guard at the door, theres a very good chance the shooter would have been neutralized. Why didnt we . The answer is simple. You couldnt afford security. Theres no budget for it. Reporter after that shooting, californias governor pledged 15 million in grants to help religious and Community Based nonprofits to strengthen security. After the deadliest antisemitic attack in u. S. History, pennsylvanias governor is working with legislature to increase funding for security for more than 3. 6 million in grants the state secured from dhs since 2014 for jewish groups. The federal government set aside kurt grants for nonprofit organizations, but they must be able to demonstrate they are at high risk of a terror attack. I cried so hard that day. I cried so hard. Reporter carly writes for tablet magazine which concentrates on jewish news and culture. I feel a sense of loss for what it used to be like for jews here. Reporter as hate crimes rise, the sense of safety is being stripped away. Antisemitism is a real threat. Its a threat to you, even if you arent jewish. Antisemitism has a history of breaking democracies. Reporter experts who track antisemitism say we probably have not reached the pinnacle of the hatred yet. Sara sidner, cnn, los angeles.

President trump today taking the time and effort to make sure everyone knows he regards a sitting member of the u. S. Congress as a loser. Thats how hes labeling michigan congressman justin amash, a republican, who this weekend laid out the opinion that the president s conduct during the Mueller Investigation amounts to obstruction. And that congress should impeach him. Until this weekend, only democrats have floated this idea. The president s response . Go to insult for people with whom he disagrees, never a fan of justin amash, he tweeted today. A total lightweight. And then justin is a loser who sadly plays right into our opponents hands. Cnns Boris Sanchez is at the white house. Boris, so far, no other republicans, at least publicly, are jumping on congressman amashs call for impeachment. Who else is speaking up . Reporter perhaps the most prominent republican to speak up so far is mitt romney. He spoke wit
