Fixer Michael Cohen called him a racist and con man in front of the entire nation while the president was overseas. And news broke that the president himself ordered officials to give his soninlaw Jared Kushner a top security clearance despite objections from the Intelligence Community. Always taking place at any moment now, u. S. Center bernie sande sanders first Major Campaign rally since launching his 2020 bid. He is returning to his native brooklyn fors spee todays spe. So lets get started with sarah westwood. What can we expect from the president at cpac . Reporter well, President Trump is emerging from a week of rough headlines on the Foreign Policy front and domestically, so we do expect him to try to turn the page on all of that. Ful be t fulle it be the first time that were seeing him since he left val vietnam emptyhanded. So we may see him try to characterize in that summit in positive light. That is certainly what mike pence did when he spoke at the same conservative gathering yesterday. Perhaps providing a preview to the kind of spin that well see from President Trump. We also saw him argue last night on twitter that his words in vietnam had been misinterpreted when he said that the american student who died days after his release from north korean custody warmbier, he said that he believed kim jungun when the north korean dictator said he didnt know how harshly warmbier was being treated. And the president could continue that line of argument that his words have been twisted and that his failure to reach any kind of deal with north korea is somehow a victory. This will be a very friendly crowd. His third appearance at cpac. Some people twras the launch of his political career back to a speech he gave at cpac in 2011. But as you know, President Trump tends to go off script when he is in front of a friendly crowd, so we could see him touch on any number of topi topics today. Sarah westwood, thank you so much. Of course well take everybody to maryland when the president does arrive. Also near simultaneously now at any moment u. S. Senator Bernie Sanders will deliver the first major speech of his 2020 president ial campaign. Sanders is expected to get deeply personal at this Campaign Rally in his native brooklyn as the 77yearold reintroduces himself to voters. Ryan nobles is in brooklybrookl. Looks like a pretty good crowd. Are we close to hearing from Bernie Sanders . Reporter yeah, we are. And youre right, is this a pretty impressive crowd which is something Bernie Sanders was known for in 2016, he has filled the quad here where he spent a year of his youth before going to college in chicago. And already the program is under way. Well hear from five speakers before Bernie Sanders comes out. The man speaking right now is the president of an Electrical Workers Union in erie, pennsylvania that is currently on strike. So this is an example of the different highlights inthat bere sanders is going to hit on. But to your point, this is going to be a deeply personal speech for senator sanders. This is not a side that he showed all that often during his campaign in 2016. Instead just sticking to these progressive policy issues that really made a name for himself in that past race. This time he will try and marry those policy proposals along with the personal story that he has of growing up here in a part of a working class family in brooklyn, in a rent controlled apartment with immigrant parents, and how that kind of shaped who he is today. Now, this rally is kind of a progressive hot bed. No doubt that brooklyn is one of the most liberal places in america. So not a surprise that sanders was able to bring out the crowd in the way that he has today. He will be in chicago tomorrow night where he went to college, where he really began his political activism, where he took a big part in the civil rights movement. And that will really launch his campaign into 2020 head first. And this time around, this isnt just about getting out certain issues, bringing them to the forefront. Sanders made it clear that he was only going to run if he thought that he could win and beat donald trump. That process begins here today and he believes that even though there is a lot of animosity in some corner of the Democratic Party, that he could be the dits to unite democrats and take on donald trump. So things off and running here for Bernie Sanders. All right. Ryan nobles, thank you so much. Lets talk further about all of this. Joining me now Washington Bureau chief lynn sweet and also historian tim neftali. Good to see you. So lynn, what is it about Bernie Sanders feeling like he has to reintroduce himself to people at this Campaign Rally, spending a lot more time about his personal life when really 2016 is still in our Rearview Mirror are. A few reasons. There are new voters coming on line and sanders is banking on a running start with the younger vote. So when he tells people that he went to that campus, that his dad was a paint salesman who immigrated from poland, escaping antisemitism, this is something that is something that people may not remember as you start the launch of the campaign. Age and i think he wants to show that he can draw a crowd with just a use of social media. He booked a very big venue in chicago tomorrow night at navy pier and he is expected to have a healthy robust crowd there. So that is what he is trying to do. Reintroduce himself and then tell the rivals who might say he is too old or he had his chance or whatever, im the one with this powerful social media mechanism that can bring out people. And tim, your story can be a very powerful thing. Weve seen it in other president ial contenders who speak about where they come from. Barack obama, he had a book, two books that helped people understand who he was. And he really campaigned on that hard. And then you have other candidates who shy away from that. How potentially pivotal can this be for Bernie Sanders who has name recognition but i guess perhaps he feels like there are a lot of people who dont know about his upbringing . Well, it is always when a candidate has a compelling story, when they are the child of immigrants or when in some cases they are an immigrant, when they were touched by events overseas such as the holocaust, telling your story makes you more believable and relatable. Good candidates are trying to connect with as Many Americans as possible because they are asking to be the left differere of the United States, to be a bald eagle for the country if you will. So one of the criticisms four years ago of Bernie Sanders was that he just talked policy. And those policies were very himself. And so one thing that were hearing is that he is going to open up a little bit more about Bernie Sanders the man. The other thing to keep in mind is that one criticism among democrats of the Sanders Campaign four years ago was that it wasnt inclusion suffer enoug inclusive enough, he wasnt reaching out to people of color, in some ways to women. So what ill be listening for is the extent to this he recrafts his message to make it appear more inclusive. Because he is now running against progressives like Kamala Harris who are people of color and who are going to easily connect. Cory booker. He has competition in the progressive place now that he didnt have four years ago. And so his message actually has to be different for him to be relevant this time around. And our reporting has been that Bernie Sanders has surrounded position or himself campaign at least is more representative of people of color and even women. So well see if that differentiates himself from the others you mentioned. So the 2020 president ial field is of course growing. We have like 11 now. And then we have Washington Governor Jay Inslee who has officially made his announcement yesterday. So how aare these candidates going to separate themselves from the crowd . Well, they have about win various there are multiple places they have to go. So for example tonight president ial candidate minnesota senator Amy Klobuchar is giving a big speech. Bernie sanders is on the road. Eric swalwell who is thinking about running is introducing himself in iowa. Jay inslee though is interesting because he actually has picked a very exclusive topic that he is basing his candidacy on, Climate Change, so that will make it easier for him to stand out. And that is what helps in these this crowded field. One of the things that Bernie Sanders does very explicitly is go after the billionaire class and Corporate America. He names names. He talks about walmart, amazon and the impact on lives and that they have not their fair share and nothing in federal tax. So you have actually the finer honed messages this very beginning is important because every democrat is against trump obviously. Right. And of course trump himself is campaigning to keep his job. This has been an interesting week for the president , lots of ups and downs. He walked away from the second north korean summit emptyhanded say some. And this was a place straight from the art of the deal, dont be afraid to walk away at the last second. That was his pledge. So was it wise, you know, for him particularly at this juncture to operate on the instincts that he says he did . The president was in over his head in this summit. He had violated one of the basic rules of president ial summitry. He set unreasonable expect tapgss in htapgs s in his use of social media before hand. And he also september a ment a kim jungun saying im your friend, im going to believe you. That is not the right message to send to dictator. You have to make the dictator give you what is necessary for u. S. National security, not give away something to them, give them respect ability. So the president put himself in a corner. He was absolutely right to walk away because he was discussing a deal that no american president should accept. But the wfact was his walking away should have been a sign of strength but it turned out to be a sign of weakness because of the way that he framed this summit to begin with. All right. Well leave it there for now. Thank you so much. Still made, President Trump has been focused on the Mueller Investigation in a very big way, but is there really more legal pressure waiting for him in new york . And later, white house Senior Adviser and soninlaw to the president Jared Kushner has top secret security clearance. Did trump make that happen. And if so, did he break any rules.

We know the special counsels focus is limited to russia interference in the 2016 election. Or at least that is the starting point we know. But the Southern District of new york investigation could be more far reaching and pose a bigger threat for trump and the people around him. Those investigators can look into any aspect of trumps behavior that has taken place in its jurisdiction. And according to his former personal attorney Michael Cohen, more of those investigations are in the works. Is there any other wrongdoing or illegal act that you are aware of regarding donald trump that we havent yet discussed today . Yes. And again those are part of the investigation currently being looked at by the Southern District of new york. Ross garber is a cnn analyst. After hearing Michael Cohens testimony, he reveals there is a lot more coming and it will be central to the Southern District of new york investigations. Yeah, thats right. I think you and i have talked about this before. And ive represented politicians for a long time. And that was the most troubling part of cohens testimony. We knew that the Southern District was looking at the president , his businesses. But cohen, you know, verified it and he also clearly indicated that he had been in contact with the Southern District who had sort of instructed him what he could talk about and what he couldnt. That suggests some very active investigations. And as you know the Southern District, they are the elite sort of federal prosecutors. It would cause anyone concern to be investigated by them. Would you go as far as saying he was almost encouraging it . He may have also been sign posting that he is willing to facilitate or assist in any way. Yeah, and he was asked, he was asked in fact by republicans, you know, what do you have to gain from this testimony here today. And are you holding out hopes of a sentence reduction. And he came clean, he said yeah, im hoping for a sentence reduction because of my cooperation in the Southern District. And in the federal sentencing system, there are two twa ways. You can cooperate up front but also by cooperating after youve been sentenced. It is a rule 35 motion. And cohen indicated that is what he is hoping for by his cooperation with the Southern District. So that kind of answer would allow people to be skeptical about his motivation, yet at the same time one has to wonder, you know, he has already laid it out there. Does this come at great risk for him . Yeah. And i think a lot of lawyers would be sort of skeptical about this approach that he has taken. He and his lawyers have sort of gone on this pr tour to try rehabilitate reputation. But hes already pled guilty to lying to congress. So it does put him at risk of a potential perjury charge. The more you say, the more chance there is that there is something that could be interpreted as a lie. And then second, when you cooperate with prosecutors offices in particular the Southern District, there is no halfway. You have to tell them everything you know and everything that youve been involved in. And from what we know cohen doesnt have any immunity. So if he goes in and talks to them and tells them he has been involved in other crimes, he potentially has risk there too. And the flip side of that, that bodes well for his credibility. Yeah, i think most people thought that he was generally credible. The Republican House members tried to make issue of his credibility. I dont think any of those blows landed. Most folks thought that he was credible. And in fact on some you thises everyo issues even the president noted his credibility. One of the bright spots for cohens testimony is that he pretty much did say that the president at least he wasnt aware of any actual collusion with russia. And the president noted that he did not implicate him in those kinds of things. So the sdny especially based on a lot that cohen revealed or talked about in that testimony, it appears as though prosecutors in new york are poised to continue to look into the inauguration funding, the super pac funding, Trump Organization finances. Michael cohen was asked even to give names. Who else might know. And he revealed that. Do you spoez sdny already knew those things or do they have new threads in which to act on . Yeah, id be surprised if the sdny learned anything from this public testimony. It is possible, but more likely that he has already been de briefed several times by the sdny. And his lawyers are very good lawyers. They probably made sure that he wasnt going to Say Something that would shock the prosecutors and agents from the sdny. But as you point out, they are potentially looking at a lot of different things. And as you know, right now the department of Justice Policy is that sitting president cant be indicted. But that doesnt extend to his businesses, mi business, his kocolleagues, his family. So the president has reason to be worried about the sdny even as a sitting president and especially after his presidency. Yeah, and thats exactly right. The current doj policy is that sitting president cant be indicted. But that didnt mean that president cant be indicted once he leaves office. And that is also a concern. All right. Russ garbe, appreciate it. Lots of Big Questions surrounding the white house this weekend,le about whether President Trump dend maded his soninlaw Jared Kushner get top secret security clearance. And if so, why did the president lie about it. The question surfaced after the New York Times reported the president overruled his chief of staff at the time john kelly and other top intelligence officials to secure kushners clearance. Here with me now to discuss all of this, Law Enforcement analyst and former secret service act under obama. Good to see you, jonathan. So the reporting reveals that the Intelligence Community made it very clear that kushner was not deserving of full security clearance. And that there are contemporaneous notes that i dont know ke john kelly was more than nudged by the president to make it happen. How potentially sequencing of events . It is very troubling. And what is important to understand is that were actually in unchartered waters right now. Typically if you go through the process to get a security clearance and that clearance is denied, you then do not have access to classified information. And i think it is important to understand like what exactly are we talking about here in terms of classified information. For many, they just hear these words that are out there, but classified information is information and data that the government has deemed necessary to protect at all costs because it has a measured effect on national security. Access to that information, you know, actually not only gives an individual the information at face value, but it also gives them access to the means and methods by which that information was gathered. So that is where it is really troubling right now. To know through a process to get cleared to have a security clearance, what the federal government is doing is saying that this person is free fromco are trustworthy, they dont have the foreign contacts that could be used as leverage. And when you start looking at Jared Kushner specifically, that is where general kelly, members of the Intelligence Community, that is where a lot of red flags exist saying, hey, does this person possess the propensity for disclosing information either out of malicious intent or could he be leveraged. And we dont know what those problem areas are, but we know your financial ties with foreign countries, et cetera, can be an obstacle and we know that Jared Kushner has a large web of contacts through his years in the private sector both foreign and domestic. So what would he need to do or rectify if at all possible to eventually gain that kind of security clearance in the tradititake tradition am routes . I think that he just brought up a key point. Jared kushner between hisam rou . I think that he just brought up a key point. Jared kushner between his personal finances and connection to his Family Business had complex financial ties not only here domestically but also to foreign investors. So weve seen how many times has Jared Kushner updated or had to revise his Financial Disclosure forms. There is just this iteration of never ending information that is coming out of mr. Kushner that says oh, i forgot this contact, i forgot this financial obligation. I mean, i think that is the problem. The problem is transparency. The process is definitely different for mr. Kushner than it is for everybody else. I held a security clearance for 14 years. If i missed one element of my application or i didnt live to the high standards that that security clearance glaearance gi would have it revoked immediately. And the problem is there is no check and balance to clearance access. The president and president alone has the ability to declassify any information and grant anybody access to classified information without the oversight of congress mind you. So i know that members of the democratic controlled house right now are calling for oversight hearings. That is fine, but that is political posturing unfortunately. The legislation needs to be changed. And would perhaps be over different matters, not necessarily the matter of security clearance. Exactly. All right. Jonathan, thank you so much. Appreciate it.

Guys, i love that it smells fresh like the beach so fresh but im trying to read shhh ooooo air wick, new pure beach escapes welcome back. Its been more than a month since the u. S. Government reopened from that longest shutdown in history. But were now learning more than 1,000 tsa workers are still waiting on their back pay. Here now is rene marsh. Reporter as we know many tsa employees impacted by that Government Shutdown lived paycheck to paypaycheck, some e received eviction notices. So it was really unbelievable when cnn learned more than a month after this shutdown ended, more than 1,000 are still owed back pay. This includes screeners, inspectors, k9 teams. But the reason for the delay stems in part from an unusual move by tsa administrator during the shutdown to pay a partial paycheck to workers in order to help keep them on the job. Remember, hundreds of tsa workers called out from work during the shutdown. The current problem with the back pay was the subject of a phone call that tsa headquarters held with field offices across the country on wednesday. And according to a partial transcripts of a call obtained by cnn, the agency said that their partial payment to employees coincided with the end of the shutdown when funding got restored. And im quoting, they said on this call our timing could not have been poorer in terms of when we executed partial pay. The result is an administrative mess. Now the agency is working to make corrections in its system to reflect that some employees have already received a partial payment so that the balance that is owed to them is accurate. As one frustrated tsa official put it, this cheated the purpose of the shutdown. During shutdowns people are intended to basically not receive a paycheck because it is not supposed to be comfortable, it is a way to ensure that the shutdown does not last very long. But what we saw was agencies looking for ways to soften the blow what was the longest shutdown in u. S. History. And now as this official put it, this created more problems for employees and they are dealing with it miles an hour a montit the shutdown is over. Tsa tells cnn in a statement, of tsas 60,000 employees, approximately 1,000 throughout the country require some sort of pay correction. And the agency says that it is continuing to process those corrections. But no clear deadline for when everyone will receive their back pay. From washington, rene marsh, cnn.

Welcome back. Well take you live to brooklyn, new york because at any moment now, somewhere in the crowd and soon to emerge will be u. S. Senator Bernie Sanders. They Just Announced his rifarri. This is his second run for the president. But what is different here is Bernie Sanders at his first rally, his run for presidency, he feels like he has to reintroduce himself to the crowd. He will spend a lot more time talking about his personal upbringing. You see him there now with his wife jane shaking hands there. He is at brooklyn college. He wants to return to his roots at this rally after making it official that he is for certain in this run for the democratic ticket for the white house. Tim neftali is also watching all of this. So tim, glad you could be with me. B Bernie Sanders even though he has name recognition he feels like he has to reintroduce himself to voters, perhaps for the first time to a lot of new voters who will be voting for president for the first time in the 2020 race. How will this run be different for him, what does he feel like he has to establish with people about who he is, the man Bernie Sanders and not the politician, the u. S. Senator Bernie Sanders . You know, four years ago when he ran for the first time, his campaign was seen as quicksodic. Hillary clinton seemed to have a lock on the democratic nomination. This time around if history says anything, it is that Bernie Sanders could in fact be viewed as the fronts rrunner. It was a much closer race four years ago than anyone imagined bernie is running as an independent. He is not a democrat. Will he run as an insurgent again or will he try to reshape the Democratic Party and message. This is what im waiting to hear. And i think he is Just Moments Away from speaking. Lets listen in right now in fact, tim. [ crowd chanting ] brooklyn, thank you what an incredible crowd. Thank you so much. Let me thank kilah for her wonderful rendition of the star spangled banner.

This campaign is going to end all of that. The principles of our government will be based on justice. On Economic Justice on social justice. On racial justice. On virn amouenvironmental justi. Today i welcome you to a campaign which tells the powerful special interests who control so much of our economic and political life that we will no longer tolerate the greed of Corporate America and the billionaire class. Greed which has resulted in more wealth inequality than any other major country on earth. [ crowd chanting ] we will no longer stand idly by and allow three families in this country to own more wealth than the bottom half of the American People. And while these families become richer, over 20 of our children live in poverty, veterans sleep out on the streets, and Senior Citizens cannot afford their prescription drugs. We are here to tell the 1 that we will no longer tolerate 46 of all new income going to the very richest people in this country while millions of americans are out working two or three jobs just to survive and pay the bills. Today we launch our fight for a Political Revolution. And we say to the private Health Insurance companies, whether you like it or not, the United States is going to join every other major country on earth and guarantee health care to all people as a right. And you can spend all of the money you want against us, we will have a medicare for all single payor system. And today we say to the pharmaceutical industry that you will no longer charge the American People the highest prices in the world by far for the medicine they desperately need.

Today we say to donald trump and t fossil fuel industry that Climate Change is not a hoax. But it is an existential threat to our country and the entire planet. And we intend to transform our Energy System away from fossil fuel and into Energy Efficiency and sustainable energy. And when we come thado that, we create millions of good paying jobs. All of us and every person in this country has a moral responsibility to make certain that the planet we leave our kids and our grandchildren is a planet that is healthy and habitable. And today we say to the Prison Industrial Complex that we are going to achieve real criminal Justice Reform in this country. We are going to end the International Embarrassment of the United States having more people in jail than any other country on earth. Instead of 80 billion a year in jails and incarceration, we are going to invest in jobs and education for our young people. No more private prisons. No more profiteering from locking people up. No more war on drugs that have destroyed so many lives. No more keeping people in jail because they are too poor to afford cash bail. And by the way, when we talk about criminal Justice Reform, we are going to change a system in which tens of thousands ever americans every year get criminal records for possessing marijuana but not one major wall street executive went to jail for destroying our economy in 2008. No, they didnt go to jail, they got a trillion dollar bailout. Today we say to the American People that instead of demonizing the undocumented immigrants in this country, we are going to pass comprehensive immigration reform. And provide a path toward citizenship. We were going to provide legal status to the 1. 8 million young people eligible for the daca program. And develop a humane border policy for those who seek asylum. The United States will no longer snatch babies from the awrms of their mothers. Today we say to the 1 and the large profitable corporations in america listen up because this applies to you. We say to the 1 in large corporations that under a Bernie Sanders administration, and you are not going to be getting more tax breaks. Quite the contrary. Were going to end your tax breaks and your loopholes. You are going to start paying your fair share of taxes. [ crowd chanting ]
