The entire case, special Counsel Robert Mueller and the only reason they didnt go through with this is White House Counsel Don Mcgahn refused to do so, disagreeing with the president s reasoning. Today the president had this reaction when asked about the account, which took place in june of last year. Mr. President , did you consider firing Robert Mueller . Fake news. Whats your story today . Typical new york times. Fake news. Thank you very much. Fake news. So there went the president , dismissing the report. This is what his attorney, ty cobb, said. We decline to comment out of respect for office of the special counsel and its process. Cnn chief White House Correspondent jim acosta is live in davos, switzerland, where the president attended that economic forum. Jim, i heard you were running around, grabbing several of the president s top advisers, top aides, just to get their reaction to this huge story. What did they tell you . Reporter its remarkable covering davos, brooke. You have this confluence of movers and shakers among the arab league gather for the record this forum and people Milling Around at this forum in davos were several cabinet secretaries, like rex tillerson, steve mnuchin, treasury secretary and so on. Trying to ask them how this latest bombshell revelation, the president trying to fire the special counsel, how that was affecting the trip here and here is what cabinet officials had to say. How do you think the mueller news is going to affect this trip, sir . I dont think its going to change anything. The president is in very good spirits. Are you concerned how this Mueller Investigation is affecting the conference. Is it putting a cloud over things, would you say . No. Are you concerned that the president tried to fire Robert Mueller . I know nothing about that. And, as you saw there, brooke, they really didnt have anything to say with respect to the actual content of the story, that the president apparently tried to fire the special counsel. They were essentially saying it was not going to have an impact on this economic forum. And you did hear the president express some of his frustrations in that speech in davos when he went off, again, on what he considers fake news. When he made that remark, brooke, even though he was warmly received from an economic standpoint, the movers and shakers here, the big wigs, they like all the talk of cutting taxes and deregulation but there was one moment during his speech where there was boos and hisses. It was pretty clear that people gathered with this forum were not pleased with the president s remarks. Brooke . Jim acosta in davos. With me now kristin snell, who used to serve as the assistant attorney general for the state of new york, leading into prosecution in trump university, trump organization. Tristan, nice to see you. Nice to see you. First, just on the news that trump wanted to have mueller fired as of last june, just given Everything Else we know as this massive mosaic that is the russia investigation, do you think this potentially does the case for obstruction get stronger because of it . Thats really what it looks like there, obstruction is difficult with intent, as the issue there. Thats really the key thing in any criminal case, is being able to prove intent. Even though he wasnt successful it bears on his state of mind potentially. People have been talking about what the chronology will be and if thats going to be muellers key thing to be able to prove, to be able to lay out the chronology. Making a case is all about laying out the chronology. Its especially true when youre trying to figure out Something Like intent. What about pattern . Just make a list, trumps pattern of behavior, told comey and his staff to stop looking into flynn, what he told comey and the fact he fired comey and that he was angry sessions recused himself from the investigation and also that the president considering firing the Deputy Attorney general, Rod Rosenstein. What does that pattern indicate anything to you . Its going to be an interesting case. I think theyve got a lot here. Now this is one more brick in the wall, so to speak, if youre trying to build out this puzzle and put as many different points in that timeline. You literally graph it out a lot of the time as an attorney. Exactly when did this happen, when did this, this, this . Its a chronology and its about a pattern. Isnt it a pattern of looking to undercut this investigation, do away with key people . Thats what it looks like, obviously. Its beginning to get hard to ignore the implication, that they were clutching at stars, looking at anything they could to shut this down. We faced that in our case where, you know, trump and his team lashed out at the attorney general in new york here, eric schneiderman, my boss during that case, led the investigation. And they lashed out at us a ton, at eric, at the office. They lashed out at the staff. They didnt actually name anybody but they made a lot of noise about how things could be ton wrong, so on and so on. We faced this, too. It looks very, very familiar. They couldnt fire us. They had no control over us. They couldnt try to exert any pressure on us. They tried to do so through the media but trump is actually using the leaders of power in washington, or trying to, to see what he could do to shut this down. Whats your takeaway from all your experience, everything you just outlined, looking ahead to ultimately the negotiating, how this is going to go down, this conversation, this interview between mueller, his team and the president. What does that look like . Take us behind closed doors, based upon your experience. I mean, for the attorneys representing him, hes basically the client from hell. Hes not going to listen to anything you do. Youre there. Youre working. Those guys are working hard. That team, theyre working 14, 15hour days or more. And they leave. They take their cab home to go and try to get a few hours sleep at 3 00 in the morning. At 6 00 a. M. , the president is there tweeting again and undoes all the work they just did the day before and everything they were trying to plan, have it limited to written questions, so forth and so on, he undid a bunch of that. Now theyre going to be scrambling again. Who did the times talk to there . Who actually coughed this up. Right. Youre basically your biggest problem when youre doing any case like that or representing any client is working with the client. At least you can try to pin the facts down, get the story straight. Its a moving target every day. You never know what the president is going to do. Client from hell. A guest sitting in your chair yesterday said if i were the president s attorney, i would be bald is what he told me. Thank you for coming in. For the legal perspective. Now for the political perspective. Keith boykin and democratic strategist, aide in the Clinton White house and cnn political commentator ben ferguson, and cnn talk show host. Gentlemen. Afternoon. Good afternoon. The president , you heard him in davos, fake news, fake news, so he says. He has been denying this whole thing. Remember, this is a man who, according to the Washington Post said up to 2,000 false or partially false things in the first year of his presidency. What do you make of this . Look, i think that theres a real possibility that when you feel like a prosecutor is coming after you and your family for things that are outside the scope of the russia investigation and youre technically the person who can hire and fire him, you certainly would have a conversation about what in the world is this person doing . Why are they doing this . Can i fire him . Should i fire him . Ultimately, though, lets be clear. We dont know if this is totally accurate. We dont know what we do know is that the president did not fire him. There is a whole lot of stuff thats being said here from sources, and the fact is, hes still in charge of the investigation. So, for me, im not this is not that big of a deal because the president did not fire him. When everybody was going to act as if he did fire him. He fired comey. But moving forward, he has played this, i think, in the appropriate manner, letting there be transparency. Look at all the documents theyve turned over. Look at all the information theyve turned over. Look at all the people in the white house interviewed by the special counsel and prosecution here and this president didnt fire him. Im going to let keith i know we can take issue with transparency and not being keith, is this that big of a deal . No, of course not. No big deal at all. Go ahead. I love it. We agree. End scene. End the segment. Were done. Right. Byebye. I think what i just heard ben say was that if he were in Donald Trumps shoes, of course he would consider firing Robert Mueller. In other words, he thinks that donald trump is possibly lying when he said today it was fake news. Thank you for agreeing with me on that, too, ben. Not what im saying. What im saying is just joking. All right. Just making sure i was going to say i know you dont agree with me. At any point, this is a serious issue. Donald trump knows its a serious issue. He keeps trying to fire or pressure the people running this investigation. So far, we have the attorney general jeff sessions, who has been pressured. We know that the acting attorney general sally yates was fired and u. S. Attorney was fired because of his ability to investigate trump. We know that the fbi director was fired and the new fbi director has been pressured to fire the Deputy Director and Rod Rosenstein has been pressured and now we know that Robert Mueller was under the possibility of being fired by the justice department. We have a whole series of different attempts. Eight, by my account, of the president of the United States attempting to obstruct justice in this investigation, fire people or pressure people directly responsible for investigating him. Brooke, brooke . That is irresponsible, impeachable offense. Thats absurd to say its impeachable. Im glad the democrats always go the extreme on everything. Thats not the conversation were having. It doesnt mean that you can impeach him. Lets be clear about why the president is irritated by this investigation. First off, lets look at the facts we do know. People were investigating donald trump that clearly had hated donald trump from their own Text Messages. We also know lets not even come on. The Conspiracy Theory continues. Brooke, the Text Messages clearly show from these two fbi people that were involved, in their own words, that they had malice and disdain for donald trump. And it was taken care of. Move on. They still work at the fbi. My point is you what else have you got, ben . What else have you got . Listen, the president clearly has the right to ask tough questions and to put pressure on people for answers when he feels like the scope of the investigation is far outside of collusion. You dont ask somebody who they voted for when youre about to hire them for an investigative role at the fbi. Its just irresponsible and inappropriate and thats obstruction of justice. Let me move on to those in the trump orbit, kellyanne conway,a sanders and even the president himself on the topic at hand. Here they are. While the president has the right to, he has no intention to do so. The president has not even discussed that. The president is not discussing firing bob mueller. Will he commit not to fire him . He has been cooperating with hes not even discussed not firing hes not discussed firing bob mueller. Ive not given it any thought. Ive been reading it from you people, im going to dismiss im him. Im not considering dismissing anybody. Is there any chance at all that the president will try to fire Robert Mueller . No. You know, i saw a couple people talking about that this morning. The answer to that is no. Can you tell me if youre considering firing Robert Mueller . No, im not. Keith, im going to let you close this out. The obvious question to folks is, was that willful deception or did they just not know the truth, what the president tried to do . Its hard to tell with this administration because i think people often do go out and misrepresent the truth, as we saw from day one with sean spicer talked about the inauguration size. I dont know whether theyre misrepresenting the facts or didnt know the facts. One thing we do know is that don mcgahn, white house counsel, has not denied the story from the new york times. You are correct. Conspicuous silence today. That seems to suggest that there is something to that story or else he would have flatly denied it and the white house would have as well. Brooke, one consistency here. Everyone around the president says he was not going to fire him, and he has not fired him. Why is this a big story when this person is still employed and still doing his job . Only because don mcgahn talked him out of it. I think the president realized he couldnt fire him, needed to keep him in his position even if he was going outside the scope of collusion. This is the man leading the investigation as to whether or not the president was trying to fire him matters. Keith boykin, ben ferguson, thank you. Other breaking news.

Youre watching cnn. Im brooke baldwin. President trump has an immigration plan, a plan that is being shunned by both the left and the right. The plan includes the path to citizenship for 1. 8 million young, undocumented immigrants, including the socalled d. R. E. A. M. Ers. Some hardline conservatives see this as amnesty and democrats are upset about what the administration would get in return, including money for border wall and cuts to Legal Immigration. This means an end to familybased immigration and the visa lottery that would shift elsewhere. With me, executive director of the center for immigration studies. Mark, nice to have you on. Thank you, sir. Thanks for having me. When it comes to the immigration framework the white house has put forth, you are said i am starting to think not only did the president not write the art of the deal, im thinking he didnt even read the book. Tell me what you mean. If this was supposed to be the opening gambit of a negotiation, he has conceded significant amounts of ground to the other side, the most notable thing is the number of people that would be covered by this amnesty. Im actually in favor im positively in favor of amnestying the people who have daca work permits. But thats about 700,000 people, maybe a little more if you include the ones that didnt renew and let them lapse. But its a fixed population. We know how many they are. These are people who came forward, gave us their personal information. It makes sense. What the president s outline would do is talking about amnestying up to 1. 8 million people, more than twice as many. Correct. Including people who could have applied for this daca program, which was illegal but thats a separate question. These people did it in good faith. These other people could have applied but chose not to. So, youre saying, just so im clear on your position, youre saying the 700,000 or so people who came out of the shadows, who said to the u. S. Government, i am here, and bgav them their information, they should be able to be protected but the remainder i think the phrase you used was they should not be granted the same extraordinary act of mercy. Right, of course. Thats what were talking. This is amnesty. Just admit. It lets not play word games. But what it is is, like any other amnesty, youre giving people basically youre giving them a break. Its an act of mercy. People who came forward, gave their information and in good faith got work permits, lawful jobs, were hired lawfully im not saying they have a legal obligation to it, but its a prudent measure. Of course. Let me just jump in. Democrats would say that given the climate, a lot of those young people at the time didnt feel safe to come out of the shadows and also just to add to that, even the president said this is when he was he said the white house had consulted with a number of republicans to, you know, put this whole framework together. This is what he told cnbc. Roll it. Cotton, purdue, goodlatte, cornyn, these are great people. These are people that really have shifted a lot. Theyve really shifted a lot. I think theyre willing to shift more and so am i. So, to add to that, mark, you have senator tom cotton, republican, among the immigration hawks in the party saying the plan is generous and human while also being responsible. I understand you dont feel responsible with the 1. 8 million. Dont you have to be flexible, both sides, to make a deal . Sure but you dont get flexible before you start the negotiations. In a sense this is like going in to buy a used car from Chuck Schumer and, you know, showing him your entire wad of money and saying, take my money. Its bad negotiating. What about the funding the president should have done what about the funding . Democrats are irked at the notion of, a, funding this border wall and, two, this 25 billion which, by the way, doesnt take that much to build the border wall. The president has himself said it and theyre going to have to shift as well. Its not just the republicans. Yeah, if theyre going to agree to this, its true. Honestly, i dont understand why the democrats, a year ago, didnt put forward money for the wall just in order to buy amnesty. I think the president would have leapt at the opportunity. They should have said however much money you want for the wall thats fine. Were democrats. We spend money like water anyway. You want more wall, give us more amnesty. Theyre only now willing to even start considering that. And, frankly, i think its a little late. There is some good enforcement elements in this bill, no question about it. Theres good Legal Immigration provisions but there are real problems if this is the actual starting negotiating point, its a mistake. This is not the way you start making a deal. Wanted to hear your perspective. Mark krikorian, executive director at the center of immigration studies, thank you very much. Supposed to hit the senate fl r floor. Putting President Trump at odds with his chief of staff. What cnn has learned about the dynamics inside the oval office. Weve been preparing for this day.

Tension in the west wing as a flaer up once again has put a spotlight on the strained relationship between the president and his chief of staff. The president feels that general john kelly continues to undermine him, causing him to lash out. The president thinks kelly is undermining his authority and doesnt respect him. Kaitlyn colin is covering this for us in new york today. Good to see you. We saw the pr jump into this impromptu q a when it was supposed to be kelly on immigration. Is that all pieces of this whole puzzle . Reporter yes. Its a signal of these flaer ups that are becoming more and more public. Trump is this freewheeling off the cuff while john kelly is structured and brusque. They have very different manorisms. This flaerup wednesday evening before the president got on a plane without john kelly to go to davos really shows the tension in the relationship. John kelly was briefing reporters and the president shows up, upends the whole thing, starts taking questions and steals the show away from john kelly and sources later describe that episode to us as a warning shot from the president. A warning shot . To john kelly to show him, hey, im still the boss here. There have been speculation that john kelly is the one in charge. Hes managing the president. And that is something that donald trump cannot stand. He feels more and more like his chief of staff is undermining him. He doesnt respect him. Its not just individual to john kelly. Any tension that the president has always had with his chief of staff, as he often did when Reince Priebus was running the west wing. Its a movie weve seen before. Were seeing the tension between these two flare up. Because weve seen flare ups before, not just with Reince Priebus, but think of all the people before. Steve bannon, jeff sessions. Sometimes they go the way of steve bannon but sometimes the way of jeff sessions. What is the future of john kelly . I dont think hes on the chopping block or going to be replaced tomorrow but i do think this is how it starts. Its a snowball effect. He pushes them and pushes them until they leave. Thats what he did with Reince Priebus, steve bannon, all these people. He keeps them around for some time before theyre ultimately pushed out. I think he does realize that he needs john kelly in a sense that he has quieted the west wing some. But then he does these other things where he imposes these harsh restrictions on the president , which he doesnt like. Its not just who can come by the oval office, but his calls and all of that. The president starts spending more time in the residents than the west wing. He can be himself and in a personal sense feels restrict bid john kelly. Kaitlan collins, thank you very much.

Hillary clintons 2008 president ial Campaign Raising eyebrows. Clinton decided not fire a Senior Adviser who had been accused of Sexual Harassment. Female Campaign Staffer accused his then faith adviser, berne strider, of inappropriate touching and sending her inappropriate emails. Strider was sent to counseling while this younger accuser was reassigned. Cnn obtained the statement from clintons 08 campaign. When matters arose, they were reviewed in accordance with policies and appropriate action was taken. With me now, Senior Editor at the daily beast. Cnn political commentators sarah zetner and van jones. If this is all true and he was ultimately fired in a different situation some years later, why didnt she do more and what does she need to say about it now . If you ever needed proof that this is a bipartisan issue that its not about republicans, democrats, its not about hollywood industry, its not about this is a bipartisan, ubiquitous problem, here you have it. Its interesting they pointed to their policies. Thats part of the problem. Turns out these policies have been inadequate for a very long time. You cant hide behind policies that worked for you ten years ago. Thats exactly the whole point that the policies weve had not just in politics but throughout socie society. Shes going to have to come out and address it. Its a blow to a lot of people who thought Hillary Clinton was a stalwart to feminism and womens empowerment. She had a female Campaign Manager approached with this campaign worker, who was a faith adviser. Faith adviser, read scripture every morning. What kind of faith was he promoting if hes a sexual harasser and was married at the time . Brought this accusation, was pretty credible. They reassign the worker and keep him . That was at Hillary Clintons behest. I think thats pretty hypocritical. If she continues to stay silent i think thats even more disappointing, im sure, for her supporters. Im not a hillary supporter. I find the irony of this is not lost, considering the position she took on harvey weinstein, the me too movement and it happened in her own campaign and she personally allowed him to stay. Yes, he got fired years later from correct the record for the exact same thing. Correct. As he was supporting her campaign there as well. Sexual harassment. I want to talk to you about nikki haley. U. S. Ambassador to the u. N. I see you shaking your head. I know. Let me play this. She is speaking with politicos women rule podcast e lichlt ana johnson. Here she is. It is absolutely not true. It is highly offensive. And its disgusting. At every point in my life, ive notice noticed that if you speak your mind and youre strong about it and you say what you believe, there is a small percentage of people that resent that. And the way they deal with it is to try to throw arrows, lies or not, to diminish you. The rumor isnt the story. Its the way in which the ambassador so boldly said boom, boom to the rumor to try to quash it. What did you make of how bold she was . This isnt the first time that nikki haley had to squash rumors of having an affair that were leveled against her and were unfair and sexist. She ultimately had to resign if those rumors proved true as governor of South Carolina. They did not prove true. She came out swinging and im glad she d shes right. Women are often targeted if they reach a certain level of power by the one thing that women are still affected by more than men in the most dramatic way, their sexuality, their sex, their gender. Im glad she came out. To add to something van said earlier, sexism doesnt see ideology. Conservative or liberal ideology doesnt inoculate you from having sexual accusations or being somebody that can stand up and is tough and great against sexism. She did something great today. Good for her. I totally agree. Let me read more from her. A small percentage of people that recent that. The way they deal with it is to try to throw arrows, lies or not, to diminish you. To me, you have this successful, attractive woman. All of a sudden the criticism is she must have [ clicked tongue ] with the president to get to where she is. A lot of men in power. Look what she did. What did she do . Theres something so uniquely soul crushing about that for someone to assume you dont have talent enough on your own to make it. Nikki haley obviously does. And im glad she attacked it. I like nikki haley. She has been a rising star and i was in South Carolina at the primary when she was on stage with marco rubio. It was he, tim scott and nikki h lachlt ey and i said thats the future of the Republican Party until donald trump beat marco rubio in the primary and crushed my dreams. Here we are today. Im glad to see i was skeptical of her appointment in that position, given she had no Foreign Policy experience but shes actually done a fantastic job. And im actually glad to see her in that position. She seems to be almost inoculated from the chaos going on in this administration and i wonder is it because shes come out with different positions than the president at times which we all know doesnt go over very well. With her, he seems to have laid off of her. I wonder if its because he knows he has to be careful with his image with women so i dont think he wants to attack her. Shes doing a great job. Im proud of her. Dude, it is 2018. What is going on . First of all, the idea that the one person who is classing up the joint, classing up the entire Trump Administration by exponential points, youre going to go after her and say she doesnt have any class . This is where we are in this moment. People want to figure out some way to pull people down. In some ways thats part of the game. They go after women in a particular way. You must be using your looks, using your weird seductive wiles. Listen, guys, the Trump Administration is luckier than they deserve to have her there. Shes handling it with the kind of class you expect. Incredible. Thank you for being with me. Great to have you on. Were going to talk about the big show tomorrow. Im sorry, jayzs my first guest.

So happy, so happy there are so many Different Directions you can go. You have to tune in, 7 00 tomorrow. Its a saturday. If youre going to go out with your boo, set your dvr. It going to be amazing. I love this man. His most recent album was so concessional. Hip hop is usually bragadocious, accusing somebody, you aint nobody, im the best. Hes talking about his mom, talking about his marriage. Hes been a philanthropist, talking about criminal justice. Theres so much in this metoo moment, black lives moment, theres so much to talk about. I cant wait. Were going to set up a clip. You set up the clip on charlottesville. The show has two parts usually. Were going to talk to a big opinion leader, sometimes politics, sometimes entertainment and then were going to go out in the country and talk to ordinary people and get ordinary people talking to each other. We have this thing we call van in a van. I went to charlottesville where those nazis matched and murdered that woman. I got a van and picked up two conservatives and a liberal and we just drove and and talked. I think people are going to be surprised by how the conversation went. Lets watch. Heres a clip. How do you feel about what that sign says, Heather Heyer way . A mothers child is gone, a Community Member is gone. There were a number of people, including the president of the university, who said dont go downtown, stay away from downtown. Somebody might mistake you as saying it was Heather Heyers fault for coming down here. No, i dont think it was her fault. People of good sound mind felt the way to handle the situation was to pretend they werent there and nothing was going to happen. You do have this incredible way of grabbing people from both sides. And ultimately, you talk common ground. What was your takeaway from the conversation . You know, both of those people were born in charlottesville. We think about these cities, theyre a sound bite, oh, the president handled this badly, lets move on. People are born there, they live there, they die there. These conflicts have generational roots and we got to that. And at the end, believe it or not, even though they didnt change their position, there was not just some tears, there was some laughter, too. We cant wait to watch. It premieres tomorrow at 7 00 here on cnn. Set your dvrs, watch it happen. Were so excited for you. I appreciate the opportunity.
