Important. Its a tremendous part of the world. I think its got tremendous potential. I think its got tremendous potential for its leader and for its people. But well see how it all works out. Right mao wenow were dealing them just a little while ago, were dealing with them as if nothing happened. Were working out times and meeting times, if i read your various media the various media, i find maybe its not going to take place. If it doesnt take place, thats fine. If it does take place, i think some tremendous things can happen. Well see what happens. Reporter the iran deal and countries like germany and france and i think its a great thing the u. S. Is out of the iran deal. Its a ridiculous deal for the u. S. And a ridiculous deal for the world. Reporter [ inaudible question ] the European Union last year we had a trade deficit of 151 billion. I known jeanclaude very well and i know donald very well. I like them very much but theyre tough. We never had anyone negotiating fors. The European Union treats us on trade as bad as you can be treated. Our farmers arent allowed to a large extent to sell their product into the European Union. Its very hard for us to sell our cars into the European Union. But the European Union, in this case germany, has its mercedes and bmws and cars pouring into the United States with no barriers. They pay a tiny tax, whereas the uni European Union charges a massive tax and they dont want the cars, they doesnt want the product. We lost 151 billion last year dealing with the European Union. So they can call me all sorts of names and if i were them, id call me names also because its not going to happen any longer. Thank you very much, everybody. Time to go time to go please head out this door right now thank you, everybody. All right, youve been listening there to round two of President Trump. Next to the nato secretarygeneral. Here he talked iran, he talked immigration, trade negotiations. I do want to start with north korea because President Trump talking at really for the First Time Since kim jong un threatened to pull out of next months Nuclear Summit in singapore. The president contradicting his National Security adviser john bolton, who has proposed the, quote, libya model, for north korea. Listen. The libya model was a much different model. Y d we decimated that country. We never said to gadhafi were going to give you protection, military strength. We went in and decimated him and we did the same thing with iraq. But the model, if you look at that model with gadhafi, that was a total decimation. We went in there to beat him. That model would talk take place in we dont make a deal most likely. But if we make a deal, i believe kim jong un is going to be very happy but this is just the opposite. I think when john bolton made that statement, he was talking about if were going to be having a problem because we cannot let that country have nukes. We just cant do it. So thats the way it meant, just the opposite. If you look at syria, that was a total decimation. Lets unwind these rhetorical gymnastics with dana bash and jim sciutto and brian carom with us as well. Just to be clear, what happened was john bolton, his new National Security adviser said were looking at the libya model, libya hands over its nuclear parts, its a different situation than what north korea has and sanctions are cgadhafi. And trump is saying no, no, no, no, completely throws john bolton under the bus but says says if these dont work out, maybe that is the model. Two very contradictory messages from the president. A lot of times its the president s aides cleaning up for him. I think in this case i can let you guys talk about the substance what he meant but in terms of the approach, the strategy and diplomacy attempt here, it is him trying to say dont worry kim jong un, i got this. What upset you about what my very new National Security adviser said, the same guy who has been very openly until he came into the Trump Administration against the notion of sitting down with the North Koreans, very hard line on the North Koreans, never mind what he said. Look, i think that this is his way of cleaning it up. The other thing that he tried to do is get it back on track with his rhetoric by saying everythings fine, were going ahead with this, we havent heard anything different in the back channel. But that was certainly a pretty remarkable moment. It was unbelievable. So he says over and over but we decimated libya, we decimated libya. We didnt say that we would get protection to gadhafi, we didnt say he would have military strength. He seems to be saying to kim jong un, you will have adequate protection. Its stunning to say that. Well, the president doesnt know what the libya model is. Hes confusing two different things. What john bolton was referring to was a deal prior to the 2011 u. S. Backed where the u. S. Negotiated for him to remove his Nuclear Program at the time top to bottom. What followed several years later was a military intervention in libya with european backing because the concern at the time was that Moammar Gadhafi was going to decimate some populations there. So john bolton was referring to the Nuclear Agreement that removed libyas Nuclear Program, not to the air cam ppaign sever years later. Either the president doesnt know what he was refer to or he mixed up two different things. Isnt kim jong un hearing libya model and going gadhafi is dead, right . It was a mistake for john bolton to bring up the libya model as a good one because libya did get rid of its weapons and then gadhafi was removed by western force. Get the facts right on it first, but second of all, why that is an uncomfortable association for kim if youre trying to make a deal with him. All you have to do is see a picture of gadhafi when they were pulling him out when he was dead for the people to go time out for this important commercial message. The regime change is the fear. Kim jong un wants the guarantee this is not about regime change. What you said the president was playing cleanup. The idea of trump playing cleanup is frightening. But he didnt clean it up. Thats my point. Hes trying to clean up something that bolton did. Neither one of them got their facts straight and north korea is panicking over what may or may not happen. At the end of the day, were all talking poll tex itics in a vac because we dont know what this president or the administration is going to do at any given minute. It will change on a dime and were left without adequate access. These meetings that you see are not adequate access to find out whats really going on. Its a smoke screen to keep us from finding out whats really going on. I still think theyre still flying on the seat of their pants, making it up as they go along. You have extensive experience in china. It was really interesting to hear the president blaming the chinese president saying kim jong un made another trip to china and the next thing you know things are falling apart is what he was saying. Whats his calculus there . Its hard to say. It changes so quickly. A few days ago the president was willing to make an enormous concession to china, rescue zte, which china uses as a tool to surveil the americans. Now this is partly life in trump world. Youre his best friend or worst enemy depending on which issues hes talking about, now making a threat there. You have to wonder how officials in beijing ride out those ups and downs and try to read the president to see where he actually stands on these issues. But on the saving of jobs through zte, hes so sensitive to that because hes come out and said we need to save these jobs and then he gets so dinged for it because there are a number of problems with zte he should be sensitive to it. Sure. Youve got dod saying this should be a National Security risk, theyre not selling their phones on military bases, they think they may be compromised and took u. S. Parts and sold their product to iran and north korea in violation of american law. Okay, hes focusing still today on but there a lot of u. S. Jobs, there are a lot of u. S. Jobs connected to zte, which also kind of speaks to this globalization that he and those around him kind of reject and yet he seems to be admitting it right there. Right. I dont think there has ever been an accusation that this white house or this president is highly consistent. I mean, theres just no other way to say it. Consistently inconsistent. Having said that, one thing that we have seen a pattern of and knowing how the president operates now after weve all watched him in this capacity for two and a half years since hes been a candidate is kind of like the way that he doesnt say hes sorry, he doesnt back down even if and when a move that he makes is clearly wrong. And the zte move was clearly wrong on a policy level, on a p. R. Level, on an i mean, all across the board. Now, hes had supporters saying its a game of chess. He is trying to explain it away. And thats what that is. Even if it contradicts the notion of his fear about globalization and poohpoohing the idea of american jobs. As he explains all this away and were discussing it, words have consequences, especially in an International Community where theyre not used to seeing an American Government this chaotic or this despotic. The problem thatty has is he tries to explain it away when you look at it from outside the u. S. , when i talk to people from outside the u. S. , they dont know whats going on and we have to say neither do we. And it causes real concern. You see the president next the head of nato. The head of the european council, used to be the Prime Minister of nato ally poland said nato can no longer rely on the u. S. As the president says countries who dont meet the 2 limit, maybe we abandon them but those word and threats have real meaning. Thank you to all of you. Next, who was donald trump calling moments after that now infamous meeting at trump tower . We know from newly released transcripts that donald trump jr. Called someone on a blocked number yet the president s son cant recall who it was. Well have more on that next. But what a powerful life lesson. And dont worry i have everything handled. I already spoke to our allstate agent, and i know that we have accident forgiveness. Which is so smart on your guys part. Like fact that theyll just. Forgive you. Four weeks without the car. Okay, yup. Good night. With accident forgiveness your rates wont go up just because of an accident. Switching to allstate is worth it. Thank you to all of you.

The president today slamming the oneyear anniversary of the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller. He called the probe the disgusting, illegal and unwarranted witch hunt. Sarah sanders added this. The president knows there was no collusion in the campaign and he has been quite clear about this. Its gone on for over a year and strongly believe its a witch hunt. Im not sure how we could be any more clear and not sure how the president could be any more clear in his beliefs and his opinion. The mueller anniversary happens as we get new details on the Infamous Trump tower meeting when donald trump jr. And others met with russians five months before the election. He called someone on a blocked number and the president s son cant remember who it was and now democrats are demandings ands demanding answers. And in the meantime, Rudy Giuliani is downplaying the meeting. The headline today, cnn, don jr. Admits he was looking for dirt on hillary oh, wow and they werent looking for dirt on donald trump . Even if it comes from a russian or german or american, it doesnt matter. They never used it was the main thing. They rejected it. If there was collusion with the russians, they would have used it. Joining me is former prosecutor elli hoenig. Does it matter when it comes to the special counsel, is the special counsel still able to piece this together . Sure. The special counsel certainly is going to be looking root ight a these calls to the blocked number. Any time you have an important event, a meeting, a phone call, the first thing you want to know is who did the participants talk to before, during and after. You get the phone records and they see the call to the blocked number and now there seems to be good evidence that was probably President Trump. Investigators are going to want to know what was said, what was the reason for the call. This could well be evidence of collusion. Well, the telephone company, as we understand it, its not a secret to them who the number was. Is that something the special counsel could get . Its something im sure if i had to bet Robert Mueller and his team are already working with the phone company, served subpoenas to find out who the blocked number is. The fact theres a blocked number is not the end of the investigation and im sure the mule are teeller team is knowins is. We do know from Corey Lewandowski his dad at least had a blocked number. Does that matter to the special counsel if theyre unable to tell what was said . It does matter a lot. Donald trump jr. Has said i dont remember who it was, i dont remember what was said. At some point the team may get an interview or have donald trump in a grand jury under subpoena. Im sure theyll ask him. If i had to bet, i bet hell say the same thing, i dont remember, i dont remember if that was me and i dont remember what was said. A reality of being a criminal investigator is sometimes you cant know. If that phone call wasnt for some reason recorded, which seems very unluikely, it may ony the two participants who know and it could be a dead end. Thank you, elie honig. Coming up, the shocking video of a man berating people inside of a new york restaurant for speaking spanish instead of english to each other. vo i was born during the winter of 77. I first met james in 5th grade. We got married after college. And had twin boys. But then one night, a truck didnt stop. But thanks to our forester, neither did our story. And thats why well always drive a subaru. If youd have told me three years ago. That wed be downloading in seconds, what used to take. Minutes. That guests would compliment our wifi. That we could video conference. And do it like that. snaps if youd have told me that i could afford. A gigspeed. A gigspeed network. Its like 20 times faster than what most people have. Id of said. Id of said youre dreaming. Dreaming definitely dreaming. Then again, dreaming is how i got this far. Now more businesses in more places can afford to dream gig. Comcast, building americas largest gigspeed network. A manhattan attorney goes on a racist rant about people speaking spanish and its all caught on video. Client and your staff are speaking spanish to customers when they should be speaking i mean, sometimes they do every person i listen to, he spoke it, he spoke it, shes speaking it. Its america. Yeah, it is america. It is america [ bleep ]. Hes very ignorant and he shouldnt be allowed here. My guess is theyre not documented. So my next call is to ice, to get out of our country. I pay for their welfare, i pay for their ability to be here. The least they can do is speak english. [ bleep ]. Running a place in midtown manhattan, they should be speaking english, not spanish. Because of people like you the nation sucks. He became upset when he overheard people ordering in spanish. Thats when he exploded. Polo has more on this attorney and other alleged incidents involving him. What can you tell us . Reporter in that video, that is what set him off according to the woman who shot that footage is there was a customer and some employees speaking spanish. He then confronted those employees, accused them of being undocumented and threatened to call immigration authorities. What is Aaron Schlossberg saying about this . We dont know. Hes staying silent on this incident and others. Hes been seen back in 2017, for example, this same gentleman was seen shouting at some Ultra Orthodox Jews against israel at a protest that was against an event that was taking place here in new york. And then in 2016 the same individual approaches an individual by the name of willy morr morris, accusing him of being a foreigner. And that supposed foreigner spoke out online saying he was born in massachusetts and is a u. S. Citizen. We do know that there is a new york representative that has been speaking out right now who has requested that the state of new york suspend schlossbergs license to practice as they continue to investigate exactly what happened. But again, we have not heard from him at this point, not anything about this incident captured on tuesday or the ones in 2016 and the 2017 incident as well. A reminder this is taking place in new york, one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world, this is happening in 2018. Polo sandoval, thank you for that report. Cnn has called and left messages at the law offices that schlossberg apparently owns and we have not heard in on him. Joining me, our guests who say hes had an encounter with schlossbe schlossberg. Also here, an assistant professor of georgie i journali media studies. He has a podcast focusing on the history of anxiety related to immigration. Tell us wa we see in this video, what was happening. And by that i mean the video you shot. Weve obviously seen the one in the restaurant. Right, yeah. This protest actually happened right outside my office here in mid town. Linda was supposed to speak at a cuny commencement ceremony. A group of far right protesters showed up to protest her speaking at the commencement ceremony. And across the street was this group of orthodox jews, very propalestine. After the Pamela Geller speech ended, this group of supporters came over to where i was standing and sort of started berating orthodox jews, accusing them of being fake jews and the man you have identified, schlossberg, was kind of leading the group. I asked him if he was jewish. He said he was and he was pretty just kind of over the top. And so when i saw this video go viral yesterday, i immediately recognized his face as the man i had run into about a year ago. When you look at the video, the new one of Aaron Schlossberg where hes talking about people speaking spanish instead of english, talking about calling i. C. E. , what strikes you most . Well, people in new york speak hundreds of different languages. They dont have to ask this mans permission to do that, right. So it just strikes me to represent a real connection between this concern that some people have that the country is becoming Something Different than what they want, that theyre entitled to right that other people want. I think it goes right up to the white house. I think it connected to what we see coming out of the white house. There are many number of beeves that he seems to have. Within of them has to do with this idea and certainly there are americans out there who will share this with this rant, this idea that he feels like people speaking a different language are undocumented and that hes paying for their welfare. What do you think about that . First of all, the idea that hes paying for their welfare is ridiculous. People who are immigrants and undocumented workers contribute tremendously to this economy. He was saying at that to an employee, which i think is interesting. That employee by definition was contributing to the economy. But its estimated undocumented works are contribute 11. 7 billion into the economy. In places in new york, places like long island, to remove all the Daca Recipients out of the workforce would cost 387 million out of gross domestic product. The idea that hes paying for people to live here is absurd and dangerous. Isaac, what do you think about why this video has gone viral . Im sure there are people on both sides of debate, people who are going to be outraged, people who connect to what this guy is saying, why is this capturing so much attention . I think the most striking thing is that it happening in new york city. Like your correspondent mentioned. Spanish is spoken here, it a language you hear often on the streets. The lawyer himself cites on his web site, his bio, that hes fluent in spanish. Its part of how he advertising his law firm. The irony is pretty rich. I think when people saw this, especially new yorkers, it was so shocking this was happening right in new york, right in mid town where you hear span ush all t spanish all the time from people who live here. He advertises that he speaks spanish as part of his business. Yes. We really appreciate both of you being with us. Thank you. Thanks for having me. Coming up, more lawmakers are signing a petition to force a vote on daca, even though speaker ryan tells them not to. And Rudy Giuliani involved in a minor accident involving a cab in new york city. I Donald John Trump do solemnly swear. The wall street journal is reporting today that a lawyer for the president arranged a onehundredandthirtythousand dollar payment to a former adult film star a month before the 2016 president ial election. That i will faithfully execute. There was no knowledge of any payments from the president and hes denied all these allegations. The office of president of the United States. The raid late today of President Trumps personal lawyer and friend Michael Cohen fbi agents took a host of documents, including some related to cohens onehundredandthirtythousand dollar payment to porn star Stormy Daniels and will to the best of my ability. Giuliani has just dropped something of a bombshell on that onehundredandthirtythousand dollar payment. Funneled it through a law firm and the president repaid it. Oh, i didnt know that he did. Oh, i didnt know that he did. Yep. Preserve, protect and defend. Hell get his facts straight. The constitution were not changing any stories of the United States. People lie. So help me god. Kyle, we talked about this. Theres no monsters. But you said theyd be watching us all the time. No, no. No, honey, we meant that progressive would be protecting us 24 7. We just bundled home and auto and saved money. Thats nothing to be afraid of. But good night, kyle. [ switch clicks, door closes ] i told you i was just checking the wiring in here, kyle. Hes never like this. I think somethings going on at school. [ sighs ] hes not engaging. Its red lobsters create your own shrimp trios. Pick 3 of 9 new and classic creations for just 15. 99. Try new creations like savory crabtopped shrimp, and parmesan truffle shrimp scampi. But hurry, shrimp trios ends may 27th. So this is just in to cnn. Rudy giuliani has been involved in a minor accident in mid town manhattan. I want to go straight to the story. This involves a petty cab . Thats right. Giuliani was riding in his own vehicle, presumably in the back seat of that car, mid town manhattan, in a heavily tourist area and it seems a petty cab his his vehicle. A petty cab is one of those bicycles that has seating on the back. Usually tourists use them to get around certain areas of the city. Even with that small collision, there were no injuries, not even clear if there was an accident report or anything like that. No injuries for giuliani or the petty cab driver. A minor accident that im sure caused a little bit of traffic here in mid town manhattan. Thank you very much for that report. The u. S. Senate is voting to confirm President Trumps pick to lead the cia, gina haspel, and gina haspel becoming the first woman to lead the cia with that vote. Lets go to manu raju. This was a big day. There were questions whether she would get through this process and she did. She did. She cleared the filibuster that the democrats threatened to launch against her. That was overcome by a 5444 vote. Just a simple majority was required to overcome the filibuster. She did overcome the opposition of two republican senators, jeff flake and rand paul and john mccain, who is absent but announced his opposition to this nomination. And Heidi Heitkamp and bill nelson, who is also up for reelection all decided to break ranks, support this nomination, help it get over the finish line. Theyre still voting to ultimately confirm her. It should be wrapped up in a matter of moments. In that case shell be the next head of the cia, replacing mike pompeo. She was able to alleviate concerns about torture tactics whale she oversaw a socalled black site in thailand. A lot of democrat in particular still have concerns over the episodes but a handful of them were placated by what she said, her efforts to distance herself from those controversies and saying shes not going to bring waterboarding back and other tactics back as the head of the cia. Now speaker of the house paul ryan is scrambling. A group of moderate republicans is signing on to force a bill to protect dreamers, the Daca Recipients. But ryan says it will never make it past the president s desk. Eso tso the question is, cou have a bill that a majority would support. When the senate failed to pass anything, that surprised us a bit. I thought the bill that the president supported that i thought was reasonable could have passed. When they killed that bill, that made me less optimistic. Were going through the same process here of seeing what kind of process could support and produce an outcome that could get a president ial signature and were still exploring that. Now last week ryan said he wanted a more substantial bill and he didnt want to have a, quote, show pony vote. My next guest then brought a pony pinata to the Speakers Office. She is the chairwoman for the hispanic caucus. Burrow or pony. What do you think . Were going to call it a show pony. It was certainly met to in a lighthearted way push back that these are real processes, were serious about getting a vote in a debate and were seeiorious at winning this issue. 80 of the American People want us to win on a permanent solution for daca and protect dreamers and thats what were going to do. So youve been bringing gifts to the Speakers Office just trying to get attention in your efforts here and some republicans are starting to sign on even though the speaker has said lets not do this, lets throw uni show unity within our conference. You say they are close to a bipartisan solution. What makes you so confident . Since i was elected, i dont think ive seen a bill with 250 cosponsors. Youve got all of the democrats, youve got 50 republicans who are incredibly dedicated on this issue who want to solve it for their own communities, they want to solve it for the country, and yet since september the speaker has said that we will get a chance to do something. Well, he didnt keep his commitment to us on meeting regularly. We never met. In terms of the speakers leadership there was a small effort called the numbers 2 meeting for a wheel bile but no union le general leadership out of the house. The gifts i bring, its because the speaker made a promise to me personally that we would meet about the issue and talk about the issue. This is to raise awareness aattention that the minority and speaker are preventing a debate on policies and ideas that would protect and find a permanent solution for dreamers, including what they want to do, which think would limit immigration. Thats the message, that theyre being told they cant realize their own elected potential here and elected responsibility because theyre not allowing us to do our jobs. Its not just one proposal. Its almost a handful of proposals there. I want to ask you about some of the president s comments. He was doing a round table with california leaders and referred to ms13 gang members as animals. First i want us to listen to what the Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said about it today. So when the president of the United States says about undocumented immigrants these arent people, these are animals, you have to wonder does he not believe in the spark of divinity, the dignity and worth of every person . These are not people, these are animals, the president of the United States. Every day that you think youve seen it all, along comes another manifestation of why their policies are so inhumane. I do want us to listen to this full exchange that nancy pelosi is talking about between the Fresno County sheriff and President Trump. I. C. E. Is the only Law Enforcement agency that cannot use the database to find gang members. If they dont reach a certain thresho threshold, i cannot tell i. C. E. About them. Were taking people out of the country. You wouldnt believe how bad these people are. These arent people. These are animals. Do you agree with nancy pelosi on that, congresswoman, where she is characterizing that animals is how hes describing undocumented immigrants as a wide sort of broadly when he appears to be very clearly responding to a comment about members of a violent gang. Well, brianna, i appreciate that you are making sure that the context of the president s remarks are included in this conversation and debate, but lets also put into context what this president s been doing since the campaign. Hes worked diligently to criminalize every single immigrant, and now hes working diligently to dehumanize immigrants. And while you can argue that that was meant to be a statement that was dealing with the most nefarious actors, in fact his own chief of staff is now admitting that the vast majority of individuals that come across the border are not in fact nefarious actors or serious offenders or criminals, theyre men and women searching for a better life, asylum just like the constitution says that theyre able to do, and theyre working to protect their children. So when you take all of that into consideration, i also find his remarks to be incredibly insensitive, offensive and they are intended to divide this country and to sew fear in places that it doesnt need to exist but only to promote his continued agenda, which quite frankly is just to build a wall and to get his base fired up that all immigrants somehow do not fit into the fabric of this country when its the foundation of this country. Its incredibly offensive. All right, congresswoman, we do appreciate your time. Thank you. Coming up, we have some breaking news. The president weighing in on his upcoming summit with north korea saying hes going to know very soon if it will actually happen. And telling kim jong un the best thing for him is to make a deal. So moments ago President Trump contradicted one of his top aides on how north koreas denuclearization should happen. This is happening as north korea has threatened to cut off talks. First here you hear National Security adviser john bolton and then the president. But is it a requirement that kim jongun agree to give away the weapons before you give any kind of concession . I think thats right. I think we are looking at the libya model of 2003, 2004. The libyan model was a much different model. We decimated that country. We never said to gadhafi, oh, we are going to give you protection. Were going to give you military strength. We are going to give you these things. We went in and decimated him. Now joining me is author of Nuclear Showdown north korea takes on the world, gordon chang is also a columnist for the daily beast. The president maybe in a striking reversal doing cleanup for an aide. This was absolutely fascinating. Theyre really using different meanings the term libyan model. Bolton means basically we pull up the planes and ships and go away and when the president talks about libyan model i think he means we kill a dictator and different meanings both of them used. But he is also speaking to kim jongun who might hear libyan model and hear gadhafi was killed by rebels of the u. S. End of april john bolton speaking to face the nation i think he did want to instill fear in kim jongun and wanted to derail the talks. I dont know. The point is thats something going to catch the North Koreanss attention. Interesting. I want you to listen to this, a clip of a former British Government official, visited pyongyang several times since President Trump took office. When i was there in december they were reading the art of the deal and wanted to discuss the book. When i went back they were reading fire and fury on pds and trying to discuss what that told them about trump, too. Since last november, december, they have had a Clear Strategy and so far its all about reaction on the side of the west to their initiative. Jonathan powell telling that to our christiane amanpour. Thats interesting, right . The administration hated it and did give you a texture of the interactions in the white house. Well, the North Koreans study the u. S. Very, very closely and they have to especially right now. They need sanctions relief of President Trump. They need a lot of things from the u. S. And so its a critical time for them and theyll study absolutely everything and talk to everybody and not surprised theyre reading books that americans read, as well. Very interesting. Just to sort of picture that that is the way to gain entry into the thinking in the white house. Of course, right . But also fascinating. Thank you so much. Really appreciate it. White house official tells cnn they have scraped the Daily Communications staff meeting in the wake of a vulgar remark of senator john mccains health. More on this ahead.

Fed up new York Democratic senator gillibrand has taken to the senate floor and twitter to blast colleagues for stalling on a bill to reform the sway Sexual Harassment is handled on capitol hill. She tweeted this, 100 days ago the house unanimously passed a bipartisan bill to address Sexual Harassment in congress. The senate yet to bring it up for a vote. Nothing has moved. I want to bring in cnns sunlan surfata. What is she arguing today . She wants the senate to act and using the symbolic 100day mark since the house passed the version of the legislation to try to in essence exert political pressure on the Senate Leadership and the negotiators up here to get something bring something to the floor. She used this procedural maneuver called rule 14 here today in the senate which in essence forces the legislation on the floor and the legislation is not going to go forward. Thats according to a Republican Leadership aide who tells me that this morning but there is an effort that she is also a part of a bipartisan effort to reach a compromise deal to tweak parts of the house past legislation to make a product that can actually pass in the senate so i asked her about that just moments ago here in her office. Heres what she said. So were all working together on a bipartisan basis to try to reach resolution. All we need is the political will to get the bill forward and get a will. Reporter its been three months. Under no scenario to take 100 days to get a vote on a bill that passed the house of representatives unanimously. So im eager to get a vote. We did a rule 14 motion today. Both senator cruz and i and a bunch of democrats have been working really hard on this bill. Patty murray. Jeff merkley. Elizabeth warren. We all said we want a vote on this bill an im optimistic that with the intentional advocacy we might have a little more political will to get a vote sooner than later. Reporter that right there is really the reason she put a spotlight on this this morning, the fact that the Senate Legislation has been stalled for so long. That said, there are negotiations going on behind the scenes. I have heard from the republican negotiator, the democratic negotiator who both told me this week theyre inching forward. We could potentially see that as early as next week. But as of now no final deal yet. Why you have reported extensively on this topic and helped sort of explain this really kind of crazy way that this is handled in congress. Why has dealing with this hit so many roadblocks in the senate . Reporter its really complex and we are talking about a law thats been in place here since 1995. Its called a congressional accountability act. They have to really go through there and figure the changes to be made and hiccups over the idea of personal liability, the fact that part of the new law to make members on the hook for paying a settlement and out of their own pocket instead of tapping into this taxpayer fund. As theyve been allowed to do previously so a lot of still nuances to how that specific provision of this new law needs to be changed.
