He was facing an uphill battle. A lot of people, including the republicans do not believe he has the experience of Veterans Affair and though he does have credentials as a doctor, he does not have the credentials to run something that brig. Its still a very fluid situation. Right now the president says hes standing by dr. Ronnie johnson and hes going to leave whether he steps aside up to Ronny Jackson. I heard the line where you have trump saying we wish to work on this new deal with iran. Can you tell me what it is the president of the United States wants and what is it about this deal that macron that hed being to change . Reporter look, all we know is the line you just cited. Theres no more information coming from the president what
this deal might be. The french president went into much more detail. He said dont rip up the current deal until you have something else. So keep the deal this is the french president laying out his argumen arguments, he said keep the deal and we need another deal for the 2025 era, and we need a de th president wants extra deals on top of the existing deals, meant to assuage the concerns he has with the current deal thats been made with iran. The big question is going into this would mr. Macron be able to
prod, push, nudge mr. Trump toward keeping the current deal . There isnt a whole lot of indication thats going to happen. A couple of hours ago mr. Trump was saying that deal is inday and is insane, is ridiculous. He said nobody knows what i will do on that day, except you perhaps, emmanuel. Teasing the world until the next episode on may 12th. Mike rogers used to chair the house intelligence committee. Congressman, nice to see you, sir. Welcome. Great you see you, brooke. Thanks for having me. Whats your take on the iran
deal . Why would iran even agree to a new deal period . Well, i dont think they would. It certainly wouldnt be in their interest. And i think china and russia would be nudging them not to accept the deal. All of the things that the french president presented as could we get another deal on top of it are really ideas that a lot of us opposed to the deal put forward at the time. Meaning is there a way to get after their Ballistic Missile program, which is turning into a dangerous element across the middle east, all of the cash that was dgiven to iran at the start of the deal, that 150 billion were seeing in places li li like yemen. I was opposed to this deal. I hope the president doesnt rip it up. But if you could get a side
deal, can you build sanctions on iran around their missile program. That would be a powerful thing forlt next few years and still keep our allies together around the nuclear deal that i think all of them admitted was flawed. Are you saying keep with plan a because there isnt a plan b, but if youre mentioning the side issues, the deal could be i wouldnt wait until 2025. We can start doing that now. Theyre Testing Missiles outside of u. N. Resolutions already. Theyre already violating u. N. Resolutions just in their missile pr missile program. So keep the Nuclear Program and
he called them four pillars. If he could get the president there, that would be a great outcome for us and our allies, maybe thats where theyre hoping to get him. The president earlier today was asked about the language he used in describing this he referred to as honorable. Here he was. Kim jong un was he really has been very open and i think very honorable from everything were seeing. Now a lot of promises have been made by north korea over the years but theyve never been in this position. And congressman, just watching the president standing there with macron, he said he hopes to beal would you
consider kim jong un honorable . Not even close. This is somebody involved in kidnapping japanese women. His regime was responsible for the slaughter of people who disagreed with him and he thought that might in fact fry to take him out. Remember what he did to himself father brother to try to cuckoo no, hes not an honorable guy. Do you even think trump should meet with him . I have an and just slightly that we may have turned kim jong un a little bit. I think the pressure of the and think he does not want to give up his nuclear weapons. Theres no doubt about it. So thats this one point where the president reemphasizes that
he understands that that is the line for kim jong un. But getting him in a room might get us to the next step. If it doesnt, ill give trump credit for this and ill just get up and get out of the room. Thats probably the best way to set up a m and im not going to have any more tests until after the talks. Not a big deal but its a concession. I think getting any concession out of the north korean dealer is probably a good step. Doesnt mean were close. Doesnt mean it going to. Speaking of walking out, heres my final question of you, not physically walking out of a proverbial meet of a meeting, we mean weve been reporting on
allegations that according to weeks weve been talking to, this was not and the white house gave them a heads up of the stories that could would come out and the president called dr. Driven and i dont think hell do it personally. Do you think that was the president giving the guy an out to just withdraw . Clearly to me thats Southern Democrats thought they were going to get a scalp on mike pompeo. That didnt happen. You also have republican and it
doesnt mean hes guilty of anything. Do you want to go through a whole other series of fights for your Veterans Affairs secretary or do you want to move on . I think the president said its going to be tough, ill stand with you because i nominated you but if you really want out of this, wink, wink, nudge, nudge, this would be the time to do it. Congressman mike rogers, thank you very much. We do have more on this breaking news. Were learning about the specific allegations against dr. Ronny jackson, which include excessive drinking, handling of prescriptions. Well have that for you. Also more cabinet drama.

Now back to this Whistleblower Bombshell that might derail president trumps next pick as the Veterans Affairs secretary, dr. Ronny jackson. The doctor was started moments ago on capitol hill and when asked about the allegations against him, heres how he responded. Is there any truth to these allegations . Im looking forward to rescheduling the hearing and getting the process moving. Thank you. Reporter any truth to these allegations . Thanks, guys. Reporter what makes you qualified for this job . Thanks, guys. Reporter what makes you qualified for this job . Reporter can you answer the questions adequately in. I can answer the questions. Im looking forward to rescheduling the hearing and answering these questions. We know these new allegations just brought his Confirmation Hearing to a standstill. It was supposed to happen tomorrow. Its now been postponed indefinitely. Thats go to our senior congressional correspondent. You smoke with leaders, manu,
what is his response . They brought up his doling of Prescription Drugs and a toxic work environment. Two whistleblowers have come and told this information to the senate Veterans Affairs committee and they include at least one person who is a current associate of dr. Jacksons and another person who a former associate of dr. Jacksons. I should caution, the senators are not sure whether or not these allegations are accurate but they are troubling enough they decided to take the extraordinary move and delay a wednesday Confirmation Hearing over his nomination. The leaders made very clear they want more records and they want to look into this further. Because, quite frankly, i dont have enough information to say this is true, this isnt true, this is true. Were continuing the Vetting Process and well get to the bottom of everything. Reporter are you concerned
about what you have learned so far . If it turns out to be true. Mr. Jackson and myself and everybody in Congress Needs to take a deep breath, give the man a chance to be heard, lets give as you chance to ask the questions that need to be and as chairman im going to see to it this information that comes to my attention that needs to be vetted, its going to be vetted. The white house has been derelict in the Vetting Process, which accounts for some of the problems with their nominees. Some republicans agree with senator blumenthals assessments of concerns with the Vetting Process, saying these are things youd come up with before a nomination is proposed. In the meeting that Ronny Jackson just had with the republican of kansas, he denied doing anything improper, he said
hes looking forward to answering all these questions. He says there is nothing hes done that should disqualify him from this post. It seems like Ronny Jackson is ready to dig in, even as the members investigate these allegations it and could linger until some time. Manu, thank you. On the same cabinet trouble beat theres more to report with someone else in the administration. Cnn has learned the white house is debating whether its time for scott pruitt to go. He has been a problem and a major distraction from an ethical standpoint. He has denied any wrongdoing and so far the president has not soured on him. So our cnn politics reporter and editor at large is with me now. I see three faces already on
your screen with perhaps more to go. Talk about a group you dont necessarily want to join. First of all, lets remember broadly donald trump pledged i will bring the best people into my administration. I will bring people that no one else running for president or has ever been president before can bring. Lets start over here. Rex tillerson, gone because he and donald trump could not get along. Thats actually somewhat of a Success Story for trump because my pompeo looks like he might replace tillerson. And tom price, you might have for gotten about him. Gone because liking to fly, high priced either first class or private planes. Then here weve got david shulkin. This is the job that Ronny Jackson is at least nominated to lead Veterans Affairs. Shulkin, big problems with, wait
for it, using Taxpayer Money to fund his wifes trip to europe with him. These are the three that are gone these are tngss and so weve got three fired. Weve got all of these that have tensions. Jeff sessions, the attorney general, it would take a whole show to go through his problems. Ryan zinke, interior, problem with flights again. Betsy devos, has done a number of negative things as it treelts public relations. And down here, this is the big one, scott pruitt, it feels to me like the temperature has changed. Weve seen this with some of the other Cabinet Members donald trump has fired. It builds and builds and build and they say no, no, no, and all of a sudden donald trump gets sick of the negative press. I think thats where were headed to. Its a group people dont want to join. We could get into this whole macron visit to the white house, all the brushing of i dont know what that was on macronel. Where do you want to begin . I do want to get to this picture i do want to go to this picture. This is the four of them after macron and trump both gave speeches. Lots of people talking about Melania Trumps hat. Thats the buzz of the picture. I want to point this out. I find the political theatrics fascinating. What is going on here and here . Why is Macron Doing The Hook Em Horns sign . Its super weird. Melania trump grabbing his other two figures. Donald trump grabbing just macrons middle finger, super, super awkward. These are the things i spend my life trying to figure out, brooke. Its a blessing and a curse. Is there any more you want to dissect from this photo . You have the horns and the middle finger. 60 degrees in washington when this picture was taken. I sweat a lot at all times. I dont wear an overcoat unless its 20 or below. One other thing. Ill go from happiest to least happy to be in this picture. Happiest. Shes thrilled. I think its probably the hat. Macron, this is like a devious look because hes doing The Hook Em Horn thing and then you get
to Brigette Macron thing and shes like, wait, were doing hand in pocket move . My biggest takeaway is that macron may be a secret kiss fan. Well have to do a whole cnn special on that one. I expect that to be your next topic for your next show. We will be right back. So we swapped your car out for the allnew chevy traverse. Yes. Do you think its going to surprise your daughter .

Joining me, the man who is legendary in the world of fashion, hes dressed First Lady Michelle Obama 20plus times. Its nice to see you. So happy to be here with you, brooke. I want to get into the pressure of dressing a first lady. First, we have to show the photos of Melania Trump today. Shes in, in my opinion, stunning White Michael coors blazer and hat and the blazer is stealing the show. What do you think . I think its gorgeous, glamorous, very old hollywood. She looks great and i love the hat actually. I love the hat, too. Looking ahead to tonight and
the state dinner, you dressed Michelle Obama a number of times. Was the 09 india dinner the first one for you when she was wearing your dress . Yes. I was in miami when she wore it because i had no idea until the last moment that she was going to wear it or not. It was always a big, big surprise. Were playing through all of these. I think that was the dress from 09. Were going through all of the different dresses she wore of yours. Perfect because it was the india state dinner, youre an indian designer. What was the process of designing for her . It was never 100 you were sure she was going to wear it. You get a call from the white house saying its the india state dinner, would you design a dress for her . So it was always close to time. You have to pull in all plugs. They were afraid to give me measurements so i had to actually design from figuring out the dimensions when you do art class, you know that your face is like nine inches. You have to like divide everything up. Cleverly i designed a strapless on a stretch core set with a Stretch Lining so i had a few inches to play with just in case it got a little to make sure it fit right. But also i had this i wanted a little bit of history in there on the first state dress that i did for her. When i worked for halston, i worked with warwhol but the embroidery was andy warhol and you take the poppies on a
it just looked rich and glamorous. Now you go to all this work and youre pulling out all the stops and you dont even know if this is the dress shes going to wear . Which was kind of crazy because i was here for thanksgiving in miami and when i found out that she wore my dress, hell broke loose. My poor building was stormed with news and everything else. Im sure it was. And that you didnt even have her measurements and through magic you pulled it off and then some. But ending back to Melania Trump, this is the french state dinner. Any guesses on who she may wear, what she may choose . If i take a wild guess, she will wear american and its probably ralph lauren. Thats my wild guess. And i just feel because its america, hes so american, so it
might be the way to go. But i think she should wear american. That would be the right thing. Why . Last yes. Because you are part of america. You need to promote american designers. You need to, you know, youre the ambassador for this country. And you are the first lady. You have to be part of, you know, the fashion of america. And you have to pick an american designer. I think its very, very important. Naeem khan, thank you so much. Always good to see you. Good to see you, brooke. Coming up, the man who police say ran over pedestrians in toronto is now charged with ten counts of murder and were learning of his praise for a mass killer. And no bail for the waffle killer. What hes telling police and why his father may also face charges. It was my very first car accident. We were hit from behind.

D, thats why Antonio Villaraigosa brought both parties together to balance the state budget with record investments in public schools. And new Career Training programs. As mayor of la, he brought police and residents together to get illegal guns off the streets and keep kids out of gangs, and on the right path. Thats Antonio Villaraigosa. A governor for all of california. The officer didnt shoot. Moments later the suspect was arrested. While police say the attack was deliberate, they do not yet know a motive. There will be no bond for accused tennessee waffle house shooter. Today a judge revoked his 2. 5 million bail. His grandmother said he is, quote, a sick boy. He is expected to appear in Court Tomorrow but there could be more charges for his father. He may face legal troubles because he gave his sons guns back to him when he wasnt supposed to. Meantime, this happened today inside the tennessee statehouse. James shaw jr. , the hero who tackled the shooter and prevented more death was honored today by state claulawmakers ane
waffle house says it will offer compensation to the victims. Starting with the waffle house shooter and his father. There had been multiple instances in the past. He thought taylor shift was stalking him, tried to trespass at the white house, ends up getting arrested. Authorities do all the right things, take his guns away, prevent him from buying firearms, presumably give them to his father, his father presumably gives them back to his son. Is the father in trouble . Theres no question the father didnt act in a way that we in society would want a responsible father to act. I think Law Enforcement specifically got a promise from him that he wouldnt give the guns back to his son. If the father knew in some way that he was planning Something Like this and gave the guns
back, he could be liable for some kind of accessory to murder. But that doesnt sound like the case were dealing with. What it sounds like is he gave them back, just knowing his son was mentally unstable. Right now as our federal and many of our State Firearm Laws exist, thats not a crime. And thats whats, you know, the bigger issue here. So under illinois law as i understand it, he would actually be liable because they do have a stricter law that was enacted after sandy hook where you have to have a special license to have a gun, like a permit, and if you he would not have been eligible for that anymore. That was revoked. So if the father knew that and gave the guns back, then under Illinois State law, he could face some liability. But under federal law, he, as i understand it, only had a Misdemeanor Conviction at the time. You cant give a firearm knowing theyre whats called a
prohibited person under federal law. But having a misdemeanor is not a prohibited person. The atf agent was asked about that and he said maybe. And just lastly, Red Flag Laws. Thats the point, i think really here, the broader point about the shooting. One is if there were Red Flag Laws in illinois, in tennessee, this was a guy who should not have guns. I mean, i really dont think any reasonable person could disagree with that. And Law Enforcement knew that and was looking at him. They could have petitioned a court and had the guns taken away from him and from the home. The way they did it was much more informal. They just knew it wasnt right for him to have gun. They gave them to the father. Under Red Flag Laws, theyd go through proper procedures and take the guns and keep them away
from the home. You dont want the guns going back to where a dangerous person lives. Next, to president trump, jennifer. Earlier today when the president was talking about a lot with reporters, the question was posed with regard to his personal attorney michael cohen, are you thinking of pardoning him . This is the president s response. Thank you very much. Stupid question. Go ahead. Any other anybody else, please . So he says stupid question. I would posit that the man is under criminal investigation, its a valid question. Do you agree with me . Well, of course. Lots of reporters have been asking him about this and hes been talking about it. Sounds likes he just didnt want to talk about it in that moment. He doesnt want to talk about this pardon issue. A lot of people are suggesting
the Scooter Libby pardon out of nowhere and the call to cohen right on the heels of the Search Warrant excuse is signaling he will pardon him. Do you think the Scooter Libby thing was a signal or the posthumous pardon of the boxer calling him up a month ago . I think the timing, you have the Search Warrant excuse on a monday. On friday he says i dont even know Scooter Libby but i hear he was treated unfairly. At the Department Of Justice it takes months and months and months to go through a pardon request, including ask the prosecutors what they think about the request, he didnt do any of that. It looks to me like hes sending some sort of message there. Jennifer and mimi, thanks so much on all things legal today. President trump called north
