Intel committees are rebuking the president s claims. President trump is not backing down. That was a statement made by a very talented lawyer on fox. And so you shouldnt be talking to me. You should be talking to fox, okay . Trumps Supreme Court nominee neil gorsuch begins a confirmation process that could be clouded by tough questions from democrats. And trumps partys Health Care Plan, very much in peril. Goes to a vote on thursday. The president says he is confident it will pass on the first try. I also want everyone to know that all of these noes or potential noes are all yeses. Every Single Person sitting in this room. All right. President trump is at his maralago resort in florida today. Lets go to athena jones live for us in nearby west palm beach. Athena, do we know specifically what hes working on this weekend with so much swirling around him and his administration . Hi, fred. Thats right. Its been a very tough couple of weeks. And a big week ahead. We know that the president is spending time right now at the Trump International golf club in west palm beach. White house Officials Say hes having phone calls and meetings. We spotted him not too long ago driving a golf carton the golf course. So we know hes at least hitting a few more holes of golf. Later today, hes heading back to maralago to his resort to receive the daily intelligence believing and then after that, hes scheduled to have a phone call with brazils president miche michel temer. A lot of attention on the unsubstantiated allegations the president made against his predecessor president barack obama claiming that obama had his wires tapped or tapped his communications in trump tower. This is a charge that has no evidence, no evidence has been provided to back it up. It has been denied by the president , by the former president himself and republicans and democrats have said they see no evidence to say its happened. Several other officials also denied it. The latest coming today. The number two official at the National Security agency, Richard Ledget used unusually strong terms in an interview with the bbc saying that these allegations are irrent nonsense. The claims the uk was involved with wiretapping demonstrate a complete lack of understanding of how the relationship, would. Ing this official went on to say, of course, they wouldnt do it. It would be epically stupid. So that is just the latest in a long string of denials. Have you even republican members of Congress Calling on the president to retract those allegations to apologize to the former president. There is no indication at this moment, fred, either of those things will be forthcoming from the president. Well talk more about that. Meantime, overseas, china is urging the Trump Administration to be coolheaded in its approach to Nuclear Armed north korea amid rising tensions. That message delivered to secretary of state Rex Tillerson while in beijing. It comes one day after tillerson warned north korea no option was off the Table Including military action if provoked. But today he appears to be softening his tone after talks with his chinese counterpart. We share a common view and an sense that tensions on the peninsula are quite high right now and that thing have reached a rather dangerous level. And weve committed ourselves to do everything we canning to prevent any type of conflict from breaking out. Joining me right now from beijing, Cnn International correspondent matt rivers. Matt, explain why it is so important for china to be involved in this solution with north korea. Snore well, china is the only major ally on the International Stage for the north koreans. So really anything that you want to do, whatever your solution proposed solution is for whats going on in north korea, china is going to be involved. That is something that the Trump Administration is well aware of and is trying to get china to use that leverage to get north korea to rein in its Nuclear Weapons development program. What the Trump Administration is saying and what secretary of state tillerson told his counterparts here in beijing on friday is that you should be doing more. You should be using that economic leverage that you have over North Carolina to get them to stop doing what theyre doing. China pushes back. This is a big disagreement between the United States and china. China says were doing enough already and in fact, its the United States that holds the key to solving this problem if the United States would be willing to directly negotiate with the kim jongun regime then all of this perhaps could end up in a peaceful longterm solution. The third option has been going on for some time and thats leavying sanctions from the security council. You need china there. China holds veto power on the council. They sanctions levied against the north korean regime, china has to sign off on those and it has signed off on those in the past couple years. How much theyll be willing to play ball with the United States moving forward if the Trump Administration continues this harder line its been taking does remain to be seen. The. But the United States and china both have a similar interest, both countries are commits they say to a denuclear south korea. I want to bringing in cnn Global Affairs correspondent elise la by the. Before tillerson arrived in beijing, President Trump said china had not been doing enough to help control north korea. How much of the Foreign Policy direction is coming out of the state department at this point or mostly directed by the white house . Well, i think its a combination, fred. Secretary tillerson has been meeting a lot with President Trump, with the National Security adviser h. R. Mcmaster since he recently took office. It has been a kind of coordination between the white house and the state Department Although secretary tillerson really doesnt have a lot of aides in place right now. Hes kind of going on his talks with the white house. I mean, look, its clear when this administration came in, president Obama Meeting with President Trump, his aides talking with members of the transition said that north korea was one of the gravest threats u. S. Commanders have been watching with alarm as the north Korean Nuclear program has grown. They do say that in the not too distant future, north korea could have that inner continental ballistic missile. That could Nuclear Tipped Missile that could hit the u. S. Mainland. This is now seen by this administration as one of the gravest threats. You heard secretary tillerson in japan say that the last 20 years of policy towards north korea in terms of whether its sanctions or trying to get to negotiations have failed. And now they do think that a new approach is needed. He didnt say that the u. S. Was not open to negotiations. He said that the u. S. Would be open to talking with north korea once north korea committed to disarming. I think thats where you have where you have kind of consensus across the administration. Now, President Trump did tweet that china wasnt being helpful but its a very consistent message that you heard from secretary tillerson as he was arriving in china. Much tougher line to say to china, the u. S. Is serious. So secretary tillerson might be more diplomatic than President Trump but its certainly a consistent message across this administration. The issue of north korea, you know, top of the agenda of importance, you heard the u. S. Ambassador to the u. N. Nikki haley say that it is the biggest threat, north korea is. I do want to shift gears though if i could now to the visit yesterday with german chancellor Angela Merkel alongside the president and he tweeted, even though you know, theres been a lot of reporting describing that ming as cold and awkward, trump tweets this saying despite what you have heard from the make news, i had a great meeting with german chancellor Angela Merkel. Nevertheless, germany owes vast sums of money to nato and the United States must be paid more for the power and very expensive defense it provides to germany. What does this do for the relations between the u. S. And germany potentially . Certainly, this was a very fraught relationship as chancellor Angela Merkel was coming to washington. All those insults that President Trump hurled at her and germany during the campaign. And shortly thereafter. Look, there is some Common Ground that the u. S. And germany can reach and i think its going to be much more of a kind of pragmatic transactional relationship. They talked a lot about jobs and the kind of things that germ does with its apprenticeships and such. But look, this kind of talk definitely doesnt help the relationship. You know, any kind of Common Ground that these two leaders might have found, you know, you saw kind of end once she walked out the door and President Trump launched these tweets. Very similar to how he did with some of the other World Leaders that hes been talking to and meeting with. And so you know, theres two things here, fred. One of two things. Either these leaders can be truly offended by what the president said and said look, do we have an honest broker here . Do we have a partner we can work with . And kind of look at the policy and not these tweets or do they just dismiss the tweets as you know the rantings of someone they dont want to Pay Attention to and that damages the creditent of the u. S. And the relationship in the longterm. I think these leaders are kind of feeling their way. I think merkel will try to take what she got out of this meeting and ignore this and take the high road. But it is difficult for these leaders when the president kind of goes off script after he was as pleasant as he could be during the press conference. She may not respond. Its hard to believe that any world leader is going to dismiss anything however it is that a president conveys his or her thoughts, elise labott, thank you so much. Appreciate that. Still ahead, dealmaker in chief still. The president looks 0 convince several members of his own party to stand behind the gops Health Care Plan but can he close this deal .

And a growing number of Republican Congress in men are saying the president owes former president barack obama an apology after intel chiefs have concluded there is zero proof to support President Trumps claim. I would retract the words if i were in his shoes. I think he should retract those words. For me i would apologize i think it would be appropriate to do so. Never hurts to say youre sorry. I think that goes for this situation, it goes for the situation with our british friends. Our intelligence cooperation between the u. S. And the british is one of the strongest that we have, and it never hurts to say sorry to your friends. Unless you can produce some pretty compelling proof, then i think the president you know, president obama is owed an apology in that regard. All right. This as fbi chief james comey will testify monday to offer definitive proof or lack thereof on the matter. Lets talk about this with maria cardona, also with me political commentator jason miller, a former Communications Director for the Trump Transition Team and was Senior Communications adviser for the Trump Campaign. Good to see bowing of you. How are you . Good. Okay, so jason, might this be different especiallily given so many in the Intel Community are saying there is no evidence . Were going to hear from james comey onmond monday. If theres no evidence, does this set the stage for a donald trump to apologize, take back his words . Well, first of all, i think theres still a lot of information that hasnt been presented yet. If you look at what chairman nunez said yesterday, theres still a lot of unknowns out there, said hes very concerned about the incidental collection of americans conversations and Different Things that were being picked up. It raised the issue of potential misuse regarding the issue of unmasquing which is essentially. Thats so different though. Thats so different, incidental collections and masquing or unmasquing so different from his tweet. No, no, no lets look at the tweets. Theres such a different scenario. Jason, its so different from what the president said two weeks ago via tweet when he says just learn. He speaks as fact that he has been wiretapped. Trump tower has been wiretapped. Now he also enlisted congress encouraged congress to he have hearings, investigate. Now theres a hearing. If the fbi director says definitively theres nothing there, then jason, doesnt that put these issues to rest . And mean that the president now has to apologize or say i didnt mean all that . Not at all. The issue at hand is were folks in the trump orbit or trump tower being surveilled. Were there efforts being made to essentially for a backdoor surveillance to monitor people within the president s campaign or within his sphere, other people. And we have to wait till that information comes in. I think hopefully well find that on monday. Chairman nunez said yesterday he has not yet received the information from the fbi the nsa and the cia regarding his request to find out what types of surveillance was going on. I think this is very important. I dont think you can sweep it under the rug. It is all very important. Let me ask you all to take a pause for a moment. Other breaking news now. A week after a fence jumper at the white house last weekend and now reports of yet another incident taking place. Ryan nobles is with us now. Lease a tweet coming from the White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer just tweeting this, individual jumped bike rack on pennsylvania avenue not white house fence. Great response by secret service. Ryan nobles, whats going on here . Yeah, fredricka, i can confirm what weve learned from an official who is familiar with the situation. Essentially what happened here was that an individual attempted to jump over what they call the expanded bike rack, which is basically another barrier between the general public and then the fence that wraps around the white house. This was an additional security measure put in place in the past few more years. This individual jumped over that bike rack and as soon as he jumps over that bike rack, the secret service goes into an elevated Security Posture so the threat level raised to an orange level, one of the highest levels. As soon as he jumped over two secret Service Agents immediately tackled the person and put ha person under arrest. As a result, there was some security maneuvering at different parts of the white house. Beak the uniformed officers moved into that enhanced Security Posture so their weapons were drawn especially in different parts of the north lawn but this individual was arrested within two minutes and hen after about a fiveminute period of time where they made sure the remaining part of the white house property was put under control, the threat level was put down. This official that i talked to described the situation as a slamdunk. He said this is how the security process is supposed to work. The second the person was found to be past that expanded bike rack, they immediately jumped into that Security Posture and he was apprehended. The person is currently being questioned. The official that i talked to described hip as someone who probably is disturbed in some way. They said that this person had a letter that he was attempting to deliver to a white house official. But as of right now, we just got to the white house and for the most part, it looks like business as usual here. People are milling about so a brief scare. But this time around, secret service had it nailed exactly the way theyre supposed to given the situation, which kind of plays into the tweet that you just read from the press secretary. Right. So ryan, just 0 make sure just so were clear and when you talk about this expanded bike rack not on white house property, outside of the fence surrounding the white house, and so it is believed that the person who may have jumped, who jumped over this extended bike rack just got too close for comfort to the fence and secret service descended on that person. But is that the conclusion being drawn that that person jumped over the extended bike rack and was to pursue going over the fence or actually encroaching on white house property. Yeah, what i was told that he had a letter of some type that he was trying to deliver to someone at the white house. So i dont know if it even got to the point where he was even going to get that chance. He certainly he jumped over the bike rack and in aggressive posture. Before, he didnt even get ot fence. Before he got to the fence, he was tackled by two secret Service Agents. He certainly approached the fence in a threatening posture which is what led them to apprehend him so quickly. But the secret service is vessel spec about what you can and cant go. Even if you jump over that bike rack in a playful manner, youre going to be arrested and theyre at least going to apprehend you. Thats not the case here. It appeared he was coming over in somewhat of aggressive manner which is the reason he was tackled so quickly. If you come to the white house, you cannot get past that extended bike rack without some sort of credentialal. Youve got to stay behind there if you want to look at the white house, take pictures whatever the case may be. Ryan nobles on another alarming incident taking place right there at the white house. Live pictures right now just within a weeks time. Thank you so much. Keep us posted on that arrest made. Back to our panel now, Jayson Miller, maria cardona. Were talking about this upcoming monday testimony of fbi chief james comey. And the pressure that is coming from many on capitol hill who are responding to initial reports that theres no evidence asking that President Trump apologize to his predecessor. President obama. Okay. So maria, your turn now. Jason saying wait a minute, we dont know everything yet. Dont jump the gun. He doesnt need to apologize. Your response . It actually my heart really hurts for my colleague Jayson Miller and every other trump support who clearly is twisting themselves in knots and trying to play verbal jim mastics and verbal twister where they always end up falling on their face because of the position President Trump has put them in. And trump has from the very beginning, he knows theres no proof of this. You know, this was the something supposedly to distract in from all of the pressure that was on him on russia and what it has done is actually focused on his connections with russia. But i think more importantly here, fredricka, is that the behavior of this president this week has turned him into a oneman mass weapon of mass destruction because he singlehandedly is now going to be responsible for the destruction of american leadership, the destruction of american credibility, the des rukz of american trustwort trustworthiness, the destruction of American Values on a global scale. We have become the laughing stock of the world because this president continues to think and put out there something that is true and is absolutely false. So jason, respond to that because the issue of trustworthiness you know, Carl Bernstein was on the air last night who said, you know this president is a liar. He said you know, hes a liar and he cant help himself. So whats your response to this on the issue of trustworthiness and credibility and leadership . Yes, lets go tamp down the hyperbowl here just for a moment. Look, there this Previous Administration politicized many aspects of our federal government. We saw it with the irs. Were back to lets stick with the issue here. Moraes and her colleagues had a lot of issues. Were talking about President Trumps allegation afc wiretapping. Talking about comey who is going to testify, lawmakers who are saying you owe your predecessor an apology. And you know, youve got sean spicer who was there in the press room trying to explain this stuff away. Fredricka, there are a lot of we still dont have all the information in. The only thing we have so far again from this reports that came out last night, there were leaked confidential materials supposedly. We dont have the reports in hand. We havent reviewed them. The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee has said he has not received the information he requested. Because it doesnt exist. No, because they havent sent him the info. Otherwise. Come on, jason. Look at the preponderance of evidence that sean spicer put out there in his briefing on thursday where he read seven minutes of different news clips. Wow. Of all the examples. You are really going to go there. Some of those press clips have been challenged. The administration has already called the media the opposition and then cites that as evidence. Dont you see theres a real conflict there . Because this administration has said the media is the opposition. Its the enemy. But then youve got the press secretary standing up there calling reference to news reports as the source material of the president s allegations. Well, then why did the house intelligence chairman come out and say hes concerned about the potential misuse and the incidental collection of information surrounding americans . Mean, look, devin announce. That has nothing to do with, no, it has nothing to do. The accusations. Let me ask you to take a pause for a moment, well come right back and finish this up. Thanks so much. Thank you. Sous chef. Lawyer by day, prep cook by night. No. Here you go. I got this. I get cash back so its like everythings on sale.

President trump wrap up a week mird in conflict and controversy onners from wiretapping to russia ties and people in his orbit and the gop Health Care Plan. Now hes entering a very pivotal week. Perhaps one of the mostpy vattal of his presidency. Were back with jason miller, former Trump Campaign adviser maria an cardona, democratic adviser maria cardona. You survived the break. So pivotal because weve got james comey who will be testifying on monday, possibly the Gop Health Plan going to getting a vote on thursday and then hearings beginning for the president s selection for the Supreme Court, neil gorsuch. Jason, lets me allow you to pick up from where you left off. You were talking about the credence of these reports that the president cites for being a real source for his accusations this time on wiretapping. Well, so thank you very much. I guess what i dont understand is how you can challenge some of these news reports whereas the media has spent so much time picking up and running with them and treating them as fact. Either theyre running the stories. Now its a selection of media reports. Thats what im saying. Either youre going to believe the stories outs there or youre not. So clearly theres a lot of evidence. Theres a lot of smoke. Were getting to the bottom of it. I think hopefully once we in particular when we get this information from the cia and nsa and fbi finding out just exactly what was going on with this incidental collection of information surrounding americans hopefully well get to the bottom of this. But the important thing going into this week, you touched on this is we talked about the hearings beginning for neil gorsuch, the president s nominee for the Supreme Court. I think its a fantastic pick. One of the highlights so far of his first 100 days i think this will show what kind of people the president will put into the judiciary. I feel very good about this pick. Is it your feeling that could be a potential moment of redemp 00 for this president thinking that the confirmation hearings will go well for gorsuch, that his nomination will go through especially in light of this wiretapping, the ongoing congressional reviews and investigations of russian ties to this presidency . And his associates . Well, take issue a little bit with the word redemption. When you get outside of the new york, washington corridor here that most americans around the country are feeling pretty good the way things are going. A couple numbers showed that 46 of the people think that the country is on the right track, double where it was during most of this past year. 4 of people think the economy is going in the right direction which is the highest this rating has ever shown since 2003. Look, 52 of the people think that the president s doing a good job. These are pretty good numbers. Once you get away from the 24hour news cycle people think things are going well. The reason im saying redemption, this whole wiretapping thing if it turns out its not true and this growing chorus is saying its not, if it turns out its not this falls squarely on president s honesty and truthfulness and willingness to kind of fes up when a mistake has been made if indeed thats the case. The president does say all things are coming together as it pertains to the gop Health Care Plan. So. Are we going to see the same apologies from democratic lawmakers baselessly throwing out russia attacks when its finally put to rest that there is no fairy tale. That has not been put to rest, jason. Its ridiculous. We havent gotten there yet. But you know what, when i talk about apologies and his honesty, there is a Reference Point with this president and the predecessor. It was the birtherism issue that donald trump kept alive. I think universally people have accepted and believe that president obama was born in the United States. And this current president still has not apologized for that. And so thats kind of the Reference Point on the whole apology thing. The president put that to rest during the campaign. You know what, fred, lets be real here. I dont think anybody really expects an apology from donald trump. Because thats just not what he does. His credit be the is out the window. I dont think he cares about that. And unfortunately, it is something that puts us in a position of being less safe because when you look at what the president s credibility has to be on a global scale when we are facing serious issues like perhaps terrorism, he is going to have no credibility left after this debacle the last ten days. Theres a reason why he has the lowest an probable rating in history of a president going into his first 100 days. Its appalling. Were going to leave it there. Jason, maria, trying to make the turn to the gop Health Care Plan but that didnt happen. We still have another opportunity. Its going to be great. Its going to pass. Theres a lot on the table. Thank you so much. Thanks, fred. All right. Thank you. Straight ahead, the fight over President Trumps revised travel ban. That just went up a notch. Federal judges have blocked his executive order from taking effect this week and soon, the legal battle will head to the Appeals Courts thanks to a new move by team trump.

The Trump Administration is promising a fight all the way to the u. S. Supreme court over the revised travel ban. First things first. A notice to appeal filed this week by team trump against a maryland federal judges ruling that blocks a key part of the travel ban. Its the portion that bars foreign nationals from six majority muslim nations from entering the country. His ruling on thursday the Maryland Court similar to another one by a federal judge in hawaii on wednesday. So now what . Lets turn to our legal guy, Avery Friedman and Richard Herman a new york criminal defense attorney joining us from las vegas. Good to see both of you. Avery, you first. Is this going to be a nearly identical legal path than the first travel ban that was challenged in court and is ongoing . Yes, its going to be exactly the same. Look, the president has great lawyers. The problem is theyre stuck with their client and the things that he says. Every Federal District court and every Circuit Court up to it point has crushed the administration in what its claiming to be an effort to protect National Security. All of the opinions and they are detailed opinions say look at, its nothing but a muslim ban. Thats what the opinions say. Not what i say or anybody else. Its what federal judges and circuit judges are saying. The bottom line is the appeal is fine. Its appropriate but whats very significant is they quote donald trump in what he said and heres page 33 of one of the federal Court Opinions says you know, islam hates us. And. And theyre quoting him from when he was on the campaign trail. Right. He said similar things after his election to the presidency, fredricka. So trump is stuck with his remarks. Its part of the record. They can appeal but i think the order is going to stay. Okay. So richard, why are you shaking your head . Well, because obviously, the president listened to the last time we covered it and made certain suggestions to him where he mate be able to craft an enforceable travel ban and he incorporated those. This ban is much different than the first one. It takes out visa and green card holders, takes away the special treatment for chris and removes iraq. Fred, youve got to brace yourself. I think on the an at the lat levels this one will be enforceable. These District Court judges issuing these tros right now, what theyre doing is going outside the forecorners of the executive order. And the issue in the appellate level and up to the Supreme Court is do these District Court judges have the authority to look outside the document itself to try to impute the discriminatory intent that they need that. Thats right. That will prohibit a president from issuing this type of executive order. I dont know if they can do that, fred. In fact, i dont think they can. Avery . Look at the case law that says that they absolutely can. You cant look at historical policy without looking at all the evidence. Every federal court and federal Appeals Court to date has said look at what he said. In fact, they quote donald trump in an interview with Anderson Cooper where cooper says look at, is this a battle between the west anise lam . Not radical islam. He says i cant sort it out. Youve got to read the opinion to understand the Historical Context is very important in when a Federal District court or a federal Appeals Court makes a decision. Thats exactly what has happened in every case so far. So richard, you believe this second one is enforceable. If that is the case, what happens to the First Executive order that is caught up in court . Would it dismiss it immediately or would it still be on going and the Trump Administration would have to answer it if indeed what you believe is the second one is enforceable and will make it through the appellate process. Watching this administration is a challenge and listening to them day to day, kings had change from day to day. If there are true legal minds directing the white house at this time and if this travel ban is enforceable, then should dismiss and withdraw the first one and shouldnt proceed with nap the other day the president gets up in from in front of a group, hes already the president and here he says i think we should go back to the first one and dak that to the Supreme Court. Thats right. The first one is a loser. And i dont believe theyll do that. If the second one is enforceable, the white house will withdraw the first one and live with this one. Hell claim a huge victory and thats where well stand. By the way, its a temporary ban on six countries where not one person from those countries have committed a terrorist act in the United States unlike saudi arabia and turkey and others where President Trump has investments. But anyway, thats the bottom line here, fred. Okay. Avery, what were you saying . Yeah, i think National Security has to be the motive behind it. The obligation is on the government. Granted, article 2 of the constitution gives the president plen nari power. You cant just say it. You can film flam the public but you cant film flam Federal District courts and federal courts of appeals. Youve got to prove it. Thats the burden. The president has great lawyers but theyre stuck with the kind of things that he says. All right. Avery and richard. The president has enormous power when it comes to immigration.
