The clintons. Yes, we are still relitigating the 2016 campaign, and it is june 1st, everybody. Good morning. Im dave briggs. And im christine romans. Again, first day of the month, but the same old same old same old same old snickering . I dont know what it is. Bickering. Bickering. 4 00 a. M. In the east. We have four new developments in the russia investigation this morning. Questions of whether attorney general Jeff Sessions had another previously undisclosed meeting during the campaign with the Russian Ambassador. The white house no longer taking questions about russia, referring everything, everything about russia now referred to the president s lawyer. Sources say former fbi director james comey plans to testify the president did, indeed, try to pressure him on the bureaus russia probe, and the House Intelligence Committee issuing its first subpoenas. The batch includes some signed by chairman devin nunes, who promised to step aside from the russia investigation. First on attorney general sessions. Capitol hill and intelligence sources telling cnn investigators are focusing on a Trump Campaign event at washingtons Mayflower Hotel last april. A Trump Campaign event at the mayflower last april. Then senator sessions and the Russian Ambassador, Sergey Kislyak, attended a small vip reception. Among other things, the fbi wants to know if there was an additional private meeting between sessions and the ambassador. Sources say if there was such a meeting, it may have been just incidental. Sessions has previously failed to disclose meetings with russian officials. He testified to congress he hadnt had communications with the russians, when, in fact, he had met with kislyak twice during the campaign. That gaffe forced sessions to recuse himself from the russia investigation. Responding to the latest questions, the department of justice says sessions did not have any private or side conversations with any russian official at the Mayflower Hotel. The doj adds in part, the department of justice appointed special counsel to assume responsibility for this matter. We will allow him to do his job. The Justice Department not alone in fending off inquiries about russia. Press Secretary Sean Spicer saying in an audioonly briefing that the white house will no longer take questions on the investigation. Our job, we are focused on the president s agenda, and going forward, all questions on these matters will be referred to outside counsel, marc kasowitz. President trump hired kasowitz last week to head up a legal team aimed at guiding the president through all the investigations into Russian Election meddling. The white house is also hoping referring questions to outside counsel will allow west wing staff to focus less on the russia investigation. We have new information on the fbi directors appearance before the senate intel committee, which may happen next week. Sources close to the issue say james comey will testify publicly that President Trump did, indeed, pressure him to drop a key part of the fbis investigation. Cnns Jessica Schneider has the latest from washington. Reporter well, dave and christine, james comeys muchanticipated testimony could happen as soon as next week. Thats according to sources. The details of this testimony, theyre still being determined, but sources do say the fired fbi director will once again sit before the senate Intelligence Committee and publicly recount his runins with the president. As youll remember, it was back on february 14th when comey had that meeting with President Trump, and sources say the president urged comey to drop the investigation into former National Security adviser Michael Flynn. Sources do say comey documented the president s plea in this way, saying i hope you can see your way clear to letting this go to letting flynn go. He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go. The president once again invoked comeys name in a tweet wednesday morning, saying in part, the false or misleading testimony of james comey, john brennan, witch hunt. We know that james comey has spoken with special Counsel Robert Mueller to work out the parameters of his testimony to congress, and we know that comey will likely sit down with mueller for a formal interview after that testimony. Dave and christine . All right, jess thank you for that. On the other side of the capitol, the embattled House Intelligence Committee issuing its first subpoenas. A source close to Michael Flynn says the former National Security adviser will comply. President trumps personal lawyer, michael cohen, has said he will not comply with it voluntarily but will comply with the subpoena. A source telling cnn out of seven subpoenas in total, four related to the russia probe, the other three related to socalled unmasking of american names from redacted Foreign Surveillance reports. Sources say those subpoenas came from Committee Chairman devin nunes, not from the committees russia investigation, and they were issued without the consent of democrats on the panel. The move raises questions about nunes and his role in the russia probe. He had said he was stepping aside temporarily from that investigation, though you know, he never officially recused himself. We also learned recently that nunes was still reviewing intel on the russia investigation. Later today, President Trump expected to announce the United States is pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord. White house officials caution nothing is final until the president speaks this afternoon. Its not clear how a potential withdrawal would work, but pulling out of the climate agreement would be a major blow to the legacy of president obama and a significant break from International Partners in the fight against global warming. So, hows this playing out with americas allies . Lets go live to paris and bring in cnns melissa bell. Good morning to you, melissa. Great to have you. It is strange optics, to say the least, how the United States alone with nicaragua and syria in a group not in the paris climate agreement. How is this playing overseas . Reporter thats right. If, dave, as we expect, donald trump makes this announcement later today in the rose garden, it will be joining a very select and particular group of countries. Syria, for reasons we understand, simply didnt have the infrastructure to join the agreement, and nicaragua, which chose not to sign up for the Climate Change deal because it didnt go far enough. So the euphoria of a year and a half ago when all of those countries managed to come together to sign this Historic Deal here in paris has really given way to a great deal of concern on the part of european leaders. Id like to show you a tweet this morning from the European Council president donald tusk, urging President Trump not to make, in parentheses, the Political Climate worse. And i think that says it all. It isnt simply about the climate or the environment or the future of Climate Change negotiations, dave. Its actually also about the United States position as a Global Leader, and it would, i think if he does confirm what we believe he is to confirm later today, really in the minds of many european leaders, confirm what has been a suspicion, that the United States, as Angela Merkel put it most explicitly over the course of the weekend, simply can no longer be counted upon as an ally globally. And i think the attention of europeans would then shift to other potential allies on the climate, like for instance china, but also to other allies on other issues more globally. Europe feels that its lost a very important ally, a leader on so many global issues. And i think that if the announcement comes as it does today, it will simply be a further nail in the coffin of what has been a Historic Alliance now for decades. Melissa bell live for us in paris. Thank you very much. A lot of Business Leaders say they expect Chinese Companies to take the lead here and china to take the lead on the global stage for this. When it comes to the climate deal, big business has one question for the president will america be a Global Leader or put itself first . Hundreds of Companies Say business will suffer if the u. S. Withdraws. Business leaders lobbying the president with public campaigns and with private phone calls and personal letters, including tesla founder elon musk. Musk tweeted that he had done all he could to persuade President Trump to remain in the treaty, even threatening to quit as one of the president s advisers. Hes very upset about this. Companies like this deal. They like the paris deal because they like predictability. This provides a framework. They can boost competitiveness with clean tech and minimize the Business Risk of global warming. Because thats how investors see Climate Change, a Business Risk. In fact, shareholders of exxonmobil now demand the oil giant stress test for climate risks. Energy Companies Like exxon and shell are actually supporting the paris deal. It favors the cleaner natural gas they produce over coal, and coal, of course, is central to the president s threat to withdraw. The white house promises lifting environmental rules will revive that industry, but market forces, not regulation, may be the primary driver killing coal jobs. Natural gas is not only cleaner, but cheaper than coal. It is so interesting, because even people in the president s inner circle see differently than the president does. Gary cohn, notably. Absolutely, yep. Well, it is interesting. Some say regardless of what happens with paris, the president has already undercut the agreement anyway by executive order, so and thats one of the things inside the white house that he is being counseled, that already the United States is gutting so many of these environmental protections that you cant stay in the paris climate agreement and do both of those things. Would it do bigger harm to stay in it and not abide by what we committed to . Well go on, but well also go on about the tweet that just wont quit. Just when the world was ready to move on from confefe, white house Spokesman Sean Spicer raised 1,000 more questions. He could have passed off the president s nowinfamous post as a harmless typo. It happens to nearly all of us who use twitter, but that wouldnt have been nearly as dramatic as this. Do you think peep should be concerned for the president posting somewhat of an incoherent tweet last night and that it then stayed up for hours . Uh, no. Why did it stay up so long . Is no one watching this . No, i think the president and a small group of people know exactly what he meant. [ laughter ] the president and a small group of people know exactly what he meant. So, why did the president leave his covfefe tweet up for six hours . We may never know, but it triggered a nasty exchange between Hillary Clinton and the trumps. Listen to the comment secretary clinton made at an event in california last night. I dont think we can get into covfefe right now, because its a longer thing, but i thought it was a hidden message to the russians. Oh, you did . [ laughter ] thats not all hillary had to say. She also went after the new york times, the Democratic Party and former fbi director james comey for her loss in november. Never mentioning wisconsin, by the way. President trump responding crooked Hillary Clinton now blames everybody but herself, refuses to say she was a terrible candidate, hits facebook and even dems and dnc. And christine, we werent done, were we . No, clinton firing back, tweeting people in covfefe houses shouldnt throw covfefe. Then donald trump jr. Comes to his fathers defense, tweeting what house is he in again . Thats what i thought. Youre trying too hard. At the heart of this again is the question why didnt sean spicer just say he fell asleep tweeting and misfired . Why . This is funny, right . All of this is funny, except there is a credibility issue that is key. Sean spicer and the press Briefing Room if something terrible were to happen with a foreign power, sean spicers the one who has to stand up there and tell the media and the American People the truth about whats happening and not play games, you know, about whats happening in the white house. Right. If there was another nuclear test in north korea thats a credibility test. And if youre doing an offcamera briefing, we cant interpret if youre joking or not. Was he joking about a small group of people actually know what that misfire was . Anyway. Lebron james forced to address racism after a racial taunt was painted at his house. No matter how much money you have, no matter how famous you are, no matter how many people admire you, you know, being black in america is its tough. And thats on the eve of the nba finals. Well hear more from lebron james next. You wont see these folks they have businesses to run. They have passions to pursue. How do they avoid trips to the post office . Stamps. Com mail letters, ship packages, all the services of the post office right on your computer. Get a 4 week trial, plus 100 in extras including postage and a digital scale. Go to stamps. Com tv and never go to the post office again. A powerful response from lebron james after someone spraypainted the n word on the front gate of his california home. Los Angeles Police are investigating the incident as a possible hate crime. Listen to lebron delivering this heartfelt assessment of American Society on the eve of his seventh straight appearance in the nba finals. Hate, you know, in america, especially for an africanamerican, is living every day. And even though that its concealed most of the time, even though people hide their faces and will say things about you and when they see you, they smile in your face, its alive every single day. And i think back to emma teals mom, one of the first things i thought of, and the reason why she had an open casket is because she wanted to show the world what her son went through as far as a hate crime and being black in america. So, its like, it doesnt no matter how much money you have, no matter how famous you are, no matter how many people admire you, you know, being black in america is its tough. You heard lebron james refer to emmett tills mother in those comments. Till was a black teenager lynched in mississippi in 1955 at the age of 14 years old. James and his cavaliers will square off tonight against the Golden State Warriors in game one of the nba finals. Ive got to say, his he said it so well. He really did, and lebron james is often compared to michael jordan, but the biggest difference is how socially conscious lebron james is. Michael jordan famously stayed out of the fray. Yep. In everything. Lebron james takes it head on and i think is very eloquent in doing so. Just yesterday we heard how he has these aspirations for being an owner. Owning a team. Yeah. You know, hes somebody who has had Great Success young but has been financially quite savvy about building his future. He was eloquent in expressing himself. Mr. Met not so much. No, the new york mets issuing a public apology, actually, for what happened with mr. Met. I think we can show you. Okay, apparently, were going to get to that later, but well show you that. Look it up, google it. Well get to mr. Met in a bit. But President Trumps promise to move the Israeli Embassy to jerusalem on hold for now. Were live in jerusalem to explain why. President trump is expected to renew a sixmonth waiver to keep the u. S. Embassy in israel in tel aviv. Thats despite a Campaign Pledge to move it to jerusalem. Senior Officials Say the president still supports the move but believes the timing just isnt right. For more, cnns Oren Liebermann joins us live in jerusalem with the latest. Good morning. This was a very significant Campaign Pledge from this president. Reporter one of his most significant and one of his most controversial. The expectation here, at least for a couple of months there, was that he really would move the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem and recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel, but it was one of the First Campaign promises the Trump Administration walked back, and now the expectation is and has been at least for a few weeks now, that the embassy is staying exactly where it is in tel aviv, that as trump and his adviser, or his envoy for the middle east Peace Process, jason greenblatt, try to pursue some renewal of the Peace Process between israelis and palestinians. It seems Trump Realizes that moving the embassy would essentially destroy his chances of making any progress on the Peace Process. Its also worth noting that he was just in the region where he met with the saudi king and the king of jordan, both of whom would have pressured him on this not to move the embassy, knowing that he would ruin all of that goodwill he built up with the arab leaders if he did move the embassy. That being said, trump still has the opportunity every six months, and he could wait until a Peace Process either succeeds or fails before moving it. The israeli right, which pressured him to move the embassy, has been fairly quiet, and we dont expect to see too much criticism, because frankly, theyre nervous about being seem to criticize trump. Trump faces a risk on that end, in that he may anger evangelical christians who called on him to move the embassy and were a big part of his voter base. All right, a sixmonth waiver for now. Thank you, Oren Liebermann. Former Vice President joe biden launching a new Political Action committee, once again stoking speculation he might run for the top job in 2020. In a solicitation email for his american possibilities pac, biden writes the negativity, the pettiness, the smallmindedness of our politics drives me crazy. Its not who we are. The history of this nation is one of ordinary people doing extraordinary things, and thats who we still are. Earlier this month, biden said he likely would not run again, but sticking to his never say never script, he did not write off the possibility. No, he didnt write off the possibility. He said if there were no other candidate and he felt good and he thought it was the best thing for america, then and he paid off the house, because his wife said they had to pay off the house and he paid off the house, then he would consider it. So, how lost are democrats that a wouldbe 74yearold, a wouldbe 78yearold are the top prospects for 2020. You could say how lost are they, how concerned are they by the status quo . Who knows. It will be interesting to see who rises up out of the democratic ashes. Never too early to look ahead. Well look ahead with Jeff Sessions. Did he have more undisclosed meetings with russian officials during the campaign . I dont believe so. You know, we meet a lot of people, so.

Because the time to think about tomorrow is today. Did the attorney general have more undisclosed meetings with the russians during the campaign . Congressional investigators believe he might have. Just one of several big developments on the russia probe. President trump expected to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord today. Will the move cost the u. S. The trust of allies around the world . Were live in paris. And youre going to get another dose of covfefe. Sean spicer says the president and a few key people know what he meant. But what does that mean . [ laughter ] and can i get another cup of covfefe, please . Im tired. So, the president had this sort of cute tweet yesterday morning. He woke up, obviously yes. Saw the tweet, blah, blah, blah, and i thought it was over, but its not over. Welcome back to early start. Im christine romans. Im dave briggs. At 3 00 today, President Trump will announce whether were staying in the climate agreement. Thats right. My question is, is it a bigger deal for United States leadership globally or for the environment and the impact . Yes. Yes. Perfect answer. We will get into that in just a moment, but first, four new major developments on the russia investigation this morning. New questions about whether attorney general Jeff Sessions had another previously undisclosed meeting during the campaign with the Russian Ambassador. The white house no longer taking questions about russia, referring them instead to the president s lawyer. Sources say former fbi director james comey plans to testify the president did, indeed, try to pressure him on the bureaus russia probe and the House Intelligence Committee issuing its first subpoenas. The batch includes some signed by chairman devin nunes, who promised to step aside from the russia investigation. First on attorney general sessions, capitol hill and intelligence sources telling cnn investigators are focusing on a Trump Campaign event. It came at washingtons Mayflower Hotel last april. Then senator sessions and Russian AmbassadorSergey Kislyak attended a small vip reception. Among other things, the fbi wants to know if there was an additional private meeting between these two. So, the sources say if there was such a meeting, it may have been just incidental. Sessions has previously failed to disclose meetings with russian officials. He testified to congress he had not had communications with the russians, but in fact, he had met with kislyak twice during the campaign. That was the gaffe that forced sessions to recuse himself from the russia investigation. Responding to the latest questions, the department of justice says sessions did not have any private or side conversations with any russian official at the mayflower. The doj adds in part, the department of justice appointed special counsel to assume responsibility for this matter. We will allow him to do his job. The Justice Department not alone in fending off inquiries about russia. Press Secretary Sean Spicer saying at this audioonly press briefing that the white house will no longer take questions on the investigation. Our job, we are focused on the president s agenda, and going forward, all questions on these matters will be referred to outside counsel marc kasowitz. President trump hired kasowitz last week to head up a legal team aimed at guiding the president through all the investigations into Russian Election meddling. The white house is also hoping that referring questions to outside counsel will allow west wing staff to focus less on the russia investigation. We have new info on the fbi directors appearance before the senate intel committee, which may happen next week. Sources close to the issue say james comey will testify publicly that President Trump did, indeed, pressure him to drop a key part of the fbis russia investigation. Cnns Jessica Schneider has the latest from washington. Reporter well, dave and christine, james comeys muchanticipated testimony could happen as soon as next week, according to sources. The details of this testimony are still being determined, but sources do say the fired fbi director will once again sit before the senate Intelligence Committee and publicly recount his runins with the president. As youll remember, it was back on february 14th when comey had that meeting with President Trump, and sources say the president urged comey to drop the investigation into former National Security adviser Michael Flynn. Sources do say comey documented the president s plea in this way, saying, i hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting flynn go. He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go. The president once again invoked comeys name in a tweet wednesday morning, saying in part, the false or misleading testimony of james comey, john brennan, witch hunt. We know that james comey has spoken with special Counsel Robert Mueller to work out the parameters of his testimony to congress, and we know that comey will likely sit down with mueller for a formal interview after that testimony. Dave and christine . All right, jessica, thank you. On the other side of the capitol, the embattled House Intelligence Committee issuing its first subpoena as a source close to Michael Flynn says the former National Security adviser will comply. President trumps personal lawyer, michael cohen, has said he would not cooperate with the panel voluntarily, but dave, will comply with a subpoena. A congressional source telling cnn that out of seven subpoenas in total, four related to the russia probe. The other three, the socalled unmasking of american names from redacted Foreign Surveillance reports. Sources say those subpoenas came from Committee Chairman devin nunes, not from the committees russia investigation, and they were issued without the consent of democrats on the panel. The move raises questions about nunes and his role in this russia probe. He had said he was stepping aside temporarily from that investigation, but you know, he never officially recused himself. We also learned recently that nunes was still reviewing intel on the russia investigation. Later today, President Trump is expected to announce the United States is pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord. White house officials caution, nothing is final until the president speaks this afternoon. It is not clear how a potential withdrawal would work, but pulling out of the climate agreement would be a major blow to the legacy of president obama and a significant break from International Partners in the fight against global warming. So, how is this playing out with americas allies . Lets go live to paris and bring in cnns melissa bell. Good morning to you, melissa. How are our allies in europe taking this news . Reporter with a great deal of concern, dave, as youd imagine. Much will depend on the detail of what is announced later today. Even assuming that donald trump does go ahead with this idea of withdrawing, how he chooses to do that will have farreaching consequences not only for the deal itself but also for the nature, as you alluded to a second ago, between the United States and its allies going forward. There are a number of options available to the american president. He can simply withdraw from the Climate Change deal, but that would take some time, probably wouldnt come into effect until 2020. He could withdrawal perhaps more radically from the entire framework, the framework that has provided the ability for the world to search for this Climate Change deal, which goes back to 1992 in rio. That could be much more immediate, but also much more radical. A final option would simply be to decide to stay inside the deal but review the commitments that were made. And of course, there are those here in europe, there are those who believe in the paris climate deal who believe that, in a sense, for the deal itself, that could be the worst option, because it would show, dave, its inherent weakness. Remember that this was a Climate Change deal that was struck on the basis not of binding commitments but of individually chosen targets. If donald trump later today decides to lower those targets that had been set by barack obama, in a sense, that will remind the world of how weak this deal was. It also has the advantage from the American Point of view of leaving them with a seat at the negotiating table going ahead. The question is really whether the American Administration today is sufficiently ideologically driven to withdraw entirely from the deal, or rather, to choose that lesser option. And much, as i say, will depend on which of those donald trump chooses to head towards later today. And pulling out leaves the United States with nicaragua and syria as those not committing. Melissa bell live in paris, thank you. And dave, pulling out would mean hes not taking the advice of his daughter, ivanka trump, not taking the advice of rex tillerson, the secretary of state, who used to run an energy company, not taking the advice, we presume, of gary cohn, his chief economic guy. Thats right. And all the ceos who have been coming there talking to him publicly and privately. You know, when it comes to that climate deal, big business has one big question now for this president will america be a Global Leader or put itself first . Hundreds of Companies Say business will suffer if the u. S. Withdraws. Business leaders have lobbied the president with public campaigns. Youve seen the newspaper ads. Theyve lobbied him with private phone calls and letters, including the tesla founder, elon musk. Musk tweeted that he had done all he could to persuade President Trump to remain in this treaty, even threatening to quit as one of the president s advisers. You see elon musk there, second to the left. Companies like the deal because they like predictability. This provides a framework. They can minimize the Business Risk of Climate Change while using Clean Technology to boost competitiveness and boost jobs, but jobs are said to alter the president s threat to withdraw, particularly coal jobs. They say lifting environmental rules will revive that industry, but market forces, not regulation, are killing coal. Natural gas is cheaper than coal, and despite the administrations claims, there hasnt been a boom in coal jobs. Only 1,300 have been added since the president took office. And not to glaze over what you said before, but can we dismiss with the notion that ivanka trump is the one thats going to moderate President Trump . Because look at the things that have come before him health care, no moderation. This now, no moderation. Where is she modering her father . Thats true, and maybe well know this afternoon if he steps back at the United States targets. This is a Campaign Promise and he wants to tick through the Campaign Promises and this would be a Campaign Promise met. Gets back to making America Great again. Its the tweet that just wont quit. Just when the world was moving on from covfefe, white house Spokesman Sean Spicer decided to raise 1,000 more questions. Spicer could have passed off this nowinfamous post as a harmless typo. It happens to all of us. But that wouldnt have been nearly as dramatic as this. Do you think people should be concerned that the president posted somewhat of an incoherent tweet last night and that it then stayed up for hours . Uh, no. Why did it stay up so long . Is no one watching this . No, i think the president and a small group of people know exactly what he meant. Like sean [ laughter ] wait a minute i still dont know what he meant. [ laughter ] this is after the president i thought the president put this to bed himself. He seemed to laugh off the issue earlier in the day. He tweeted this who can figure out the true meaning of covfefe . Enjoy thats when we know the president was awake. We figured he went to bed at 11 00, woke up at 5 00, left this dangling clause and then fixed it up with a little funny thing, but this triggered a nasty exchange between Hillary Clinton and the trumps. Listen to this comment secretary clinton made at an event in california last night. I dont think we can get into covfefe right now because its a longer thing, but i thought it was a hidden message to the russians. Oh, you did . [ laughter ] thats not all hillary had to say. She went on, taking on the the new york times, the Democratic Party, the former fbi director, james comey, for her loss in november. President trump responding with this crooked hillary now blames everybody but herself, refuses to say she was a terrible candidate, hits facebook and even dems and the dnc. It doesnt end there, folks. Clinton firing back, tweeting people in covfefe houses shouldnt throw covfefe. Thats when donald trump jr. Tweeted what house is he in again . Solid, thats well played. Thats what i thought. Youre trying too hard. I thought covfefe would be dead by 9 00 yesterday morning i hoped it would. The covfefe gift that keeps on covfefing. It was a typo, right . He fell asleep while tweeting. A small group of people in the white house know. No, they dont. Credibility. Ahead, lebron james forced to address racism on the eve of the nba finals after a racial taunt was painted at his house. Hate, you know, in america, especially for an africanamerican, is living every day. Well hear more from lebron james next. H geico. Huh. I should take a closer look at geico. Geico can help with way more than car insurance. Boats, homes, motorcycles. Even umbrella coverage. This guys gonna wish he brought his umbrella. Fire at will howd you know the guys name is will . Yeah . Its an expression, ya know . Fire at will . You never heard of that . Oh, there goes will bye, will thats not his name take a closer look at geico. Great savings. And a whole lot more. Powerful, powerful response from lebron james after someone spraypainted the n word on the front gate of his california home. Los Angeles Police investigating this incident as a possible hate crime. Listen to lebron delivering his assessment of American Society on the eve of his seventh straight appearance in the nba finals. Hate, you know, in america, especially for an africanamerican, is living every day. And even though that its concealed most of the time, even though people hide their faces and will say things about you and when they see you, they smile in your face, its alive every single day. And i think back to emmett tills mom, actually. Its kind of one of the first things i thought of. And the reason that she had an open casket is because she wanted to show the world what her son went through as far as a hate crime and, you know, being black in america. So, its like, it doesnt no matter how much money you have, no matter how famous you are, no matter how many people admire you, you know, being black in america is, its tough. Now, you heard james refer to emmett tills mother in those comments. Till was a black teenager lynched in mississippi in 1955 at the age of 14. James and his Cleveland Cavaliers square off tonight against the Golden State Warriors in game one of the nba finals. Lebron was eloquent. Mr. Met not so much. The new york mets issuing a public apology to their fans, and its not because of their mediocre play. It seems mr. Met, the teams beloved mascot, was caught flipping the bird at met fans. We should be clear, mr. Met doesnt technically have a middle finger he has four fingers. He only has four, right, christine. But his intent was certainly clear. Were told several Team Employees take turns in the mr. Met costume. The met front office says this staffer will no longer be working as the team mascot again. But in 2012, mr. Met was named the number one mascot in all of sports. He was just giving the number one sign, i believe. The number one sign. Number one. Number one mascot in sports. All right. I dont know how you can flip the middle finger if you only have four fingers. I dont know. Legally, i think that argument holds up in court. You know, i dont think that matters. There is no middle in four. I think poor joe is not going to be in that suit again. Epipens mylan became the subject of greed when it jacked up prices of lifesaving drugs.

Happening right now in berlin, the chinese premier is meeting with german chancellor Angela Merkel, and china has vowed to adhere to the principles of the Paris Climate Accords. And Angela Merkel saying they are happy about that, of course, and that the leadership between the eu and china on climate issues is the direction here of the future. As you know, this afternoon at 3 00 p. M. , we are awaiting the president of the United States to announce whether the United States will stay in this very important climate agreement. There are some indications that he will not. He will fulfill a Campaign Pledge to pull out. Again, this shows you china stepping into the fray, into the breach, right, and saying we will continue to be a leader on Climate Change. Well, and just the optics here that china, the worlds worst polluter, is now the leader in environmental causes, that is a headscratching development, but we shall stay on it. Meanwhile, President Trump expected to renew a sixmonth waiver to keep the u. S. Embassy in israel in tel aviv. Thats despite a Campaign Pledge to move it to jerusalem. Senior Officials Say the president still supports the move but believes the timing isnt right. For more, cnns Oren Liebermann live in jerusalem with the latest. Good morning to you, oren. Was the realities of this situation, did President Trump learn more about them on that recent foreign trip . Reporter well, it certainly seems it solidified his opinion. Remember, this was obviously one of his biggest Campaign Promises but also one of the First Campaign promises he walked back right after his inauguration, and thats because some of the arab leaders, specifically king abdullah, who was the first arab leader to meet with trump, including king salman, who he met with when trump was in the region a couple weeks ago, they both pointed out to him how sensitive the embassy move is. If you were to move it from tel aviv to jerusalem and effectively recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. They pressured him on that, and it seems he realized the delicacy of this or how delicate this subject is, and thats because it would prejudge essentially the most sensitive area in the conflict, and that is the status of jerusalem, which decades of u. S. Foreign policy has said this will only be decided in final negotiations between israelis and palestinians. As trump tries to pursue a renewal of a Peace Process, it seems hes heeding caution to that. He will wait to see if a Peace Process can be restarted and where it goes. He certainly has more opportunities to move the embassy, if he wants. That opportunity comes up every six months. The israeli right, the israeli leadership, that is, made one final push with trump here to try to get him to move the embassy just a couple weeks ago. That, it seems, didnt work out. Trump in all of his statements here never talked about the embassy, never talked about recognizing jerusalem as the capital of israel, that as he tries to restart the Peace Process here. While the israeli right wont openly criticize trump for fear of any sort of retaliation or what may come of that, he does risk angering evangelical christian voters, one of his biggest voter bases who very much wanted him to follow through on this promise. So well see how they react to this as well as what reaction comes out of the israelis. Dave . All right, Oren Liebermann live for us in jerusalem. Thank you, sir.
