Football. Lets hope i packed appropriately for this trip to new york. Good morning and welcome, im Kaylee Hartung in for christine romans. Good to have you here. Im dave briggs. Wednesday, of november 21st. The president s calls to lock her up were not just for rallies but were in the white house where President Trump was taking steps to have the Justice Department prosecute Hillary Clinton. A source telling cnn the president pressed thenwhite House Counsel don mcghan to make it happen. The president had been attacking clinton for years by that point over her emails, the Clinton Foundation and other matters. The New York Times reported on the president s push to have clinton and former fbi director james comey prosecuted. This is what happens in authoritarian countries. The president orders, the president , the leader, orders the investigation and prosecution of his political enemies. Fortunately there are people in the white house here who understood the traditions and the rules of the american legal system and said you cant do that, and it didnt happen. Mcghan fended off the president s repeated requests to have his rivals prosecuted. The times reports mcghan had white house lawyers write a memo warning the president about all the consequences including possible impeachment. Mcghan left the white house after extensionive investigation in extensionive investigation by mueller. And he spoke repeatedly with Rod Rosenstein and matt whitaker, then chief of staff to jeff sessions. Mr. Trump asked them about Justice Department progress investigating Hillary Clinton. Hed been clear he intended to go after her including this remark at a debate. If i win, i am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation. Its just awfully good that someone with the temperament of donald trump is not in charge of the law in our country. Because youd be in jail. Just remarkable to look back on that. Whitaker came to the meetings prepared to tell the president what justice was doing on clintonrelated matters, although our sources say whitaker did not seem to cross any line. More broadly, the president pressing whitaker at the time seems to prove he was lying this month when he said this i dont know matt whitaker. Matt whitaker works for jeff sessions, and he was always extremely highly thought of. He still is. So far no comment from the Justice Department on all of this. And tough Senate Republicans are slamming President Trump for standing behind saudi arabia and crown Prince Mohammed bin salman. In the wake of the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi in a statement peppered with exclamation points he wrote, it could very well be that the crown prince had knowledge of the this tragic event. Maybe he did, maybe he didnt. In any case, our relationship is with the kingdom of saudi arabia. That stand contradicts a cia astemt thsessment that the crowe did order the killing which officials are highly confident. The president stood by his statement speaking to reporters. [ inaudible ] because its America First to me. Its all about America First. Saudi arabia, if we broke with them, i think your oil prices would go through the roof. Ive kept them down. Theyve helped me keep them down. Well see how that works out. Its a complex situation. Its a sham, but it is what it is. That drew swift, sharp rebuke from leading republicans. Senate Foreign Relations chair bob corker tweeting, i never thought id see the day a white house would moonlight as a Public Relations firm for the crown prince of saudi arabia. Kentucky senator rand paul said, im pretty sure this statement is saudi arabia first, not America First. Im also pretty sure National Security adviser john bolton wrote it. And then there was this frank comment on the crown prince known as mbs from senator lindsey graham. Saudi arabia needs us more than we need them. Its not too much to ask an ally not to butcher a guy in a consulate. This is not world war ii. So im not going to look away at what mbs did. I think he did it. The saudis at first denied any knowledge of Jamal Khashoggis death then later pinned the murder on a group of rogue operatives. New Financial Disclosures filed by acting attorney general Matthew Whitaker reveal more than 9,000 from a conservative group he founded in 2014. The group known as f. A. C. T. Received almost its funding from a dark Money Organization that got some funding from a major republican donor, charles koch. Most of his income the past few years came from f. A. C. T. , although cnn paid him 15,000 as a legal commentator in 2015. The disclosures magnify concerns over whether the senate would confirm whitaker if the president nominated him as permanent attorney general. Until yesterday watchdog groups repeatedly raised concern about why the request for the public documents had gone unfulfilled. President trump has submitted his written answers to questions from special counsel robert mueller. This follows months of negotiations between the spounss office and poundss office and the trump legal team. The questions dealt with russiarelated topics in the Mueller Investigation and not obstruction of justice. Still not clear if that will be enough for mueller to finish his investigation. There could be additional questions. Muellers team could still try and pursue an inperson interview though the president said he does not plan on sitting down. After a year of apologizing for facebooks missteps, Facebook Ceo Mark Zuckerberg is sounding a lot more defiant. An article claimed facebook wasness transparent enough about officers not transparent enough about hackers during the election. In an interview, zuckerberg dismissed questions about his performance and the leadership of coo sheryl sandberg. There are a lot of questions about Sheryl Sandbergs role in the latest controversy. Can you definitively say sheryl will stay in her same role . Yeah. Look, sheryl is a really important part of this company and is leading a lot of the efforts to address the biggest issues that we have. So when you look at a lot of the progress that weve made over the last 12 to 18 months on issues around elections or content or security, sheryl is leading a lot of that work. Shes been an important partner for me for ten years. Im proud of the work weve done together. I hope that we Work Together for decades more to come. You are ceo and chairman of facebook. Thats an extraordinary amount of power given that you rule a kingdom of two billion people digitally. Shouldnt your power be checked . Yes. I think that ultimately the issues that were working on here, you know, things like preventing interference in elections from other countries, finding the balance between giving people a voice and keeping people safe, these are not issues that any one company can address. You are not stepping down as chairman . Thats not the plan. Zuckerberg says facebook has a different world view than some of the people who cover the company. Global markets and u. S. Futures down sharply a day after the dow lost more than 500 points, wiping out all gains for the year. Its not alone. The s p 500 also down for the year. Investors are worried the days of record profits is near its end with tech stocks taking the biggest hit. Tech companies have long before the darlings of wall street sending stocks to record highs. Now apple faces slowing demand for iphones, facebook is under scrutiny over data and privacy issues, as those stocks fall. So, too, does the market. These five bigtech names have lost more than 800 billion in combined market value since august. But investors have a flurry of concerns. Higher interest rates, crashing oil prices now at a 13month low. A u. S. China trade war. Bottom line, after years of big profit growth, investors expect a slowdown in 2019. Just reading the wall street journal, for example, on the way in, you hear the word recession throughout different articles. Theyre tamping down any expectation for a recession, just the fact that youre hearing that word concerning for the months and weeks ahead. Yeah. Absolutely. And Something Else concerning to learn this morning number of people unaccounted for in the camp fire is taking another big jump. Now potentially damaging rain is moving in for thousands without a home for the holiday. Well have more. The number of people unaccounted for in the camp fire increased 171 from officials monday. That number rising sharply as officials warned because detectives were able to get to a backlog of voice mails. The death toll stands at 81. The remains two of more victims were discovered on tuesday. The camp fire, though, now 75 conta contained. The next challenge could be rain as it could become heavy over northern california, lasting into saturday. That will help with the air quality, but it could also trigger mudslides and debris flows. The estimated cost of fighting the camp fire and the woolsly fire stands at 300 million. Youre looking at the helicopter flying through to rescue three people and two dogs in the hills of malibu. The fire is nearly 100 contained after charring close to 97,000 acres. Hard to believe theyre saying the camp fire may not be fully contained until november 30th. The rain will help a little bit, but also might cause mudslides. Tough. A major Health Warning that could affect millions of thanksgiving menus. The centers for Disease Control warning consumers not to eat romaine lettuce due to possible e. Coli contamination. 32 people in 11 states have been infected with the outbreak strain. In addition, 18 people in canada have become sickened. Officials say consumers should not eat any romaine lettuce product. That includes whole heads of romaine, hearts of romaine, and bags and boxes of precut lettuce and salad mixes. So far the fda has not been able to tie the outbreak to a specific grower. On the east coast for the holiday, one suggestion bundle up, its going to be the coldest thanksgiving in new york in more than a century. Which could spell trouble for the trivphanksgiving parade. Heres ivan cabrera. A combination, good morning, of not just the arctic air but the winds making it feel like in the Single Digits. The arctic air mass will be on top of us. Will be easily the coldest spot in the nation. We could have the coldest thanksgiving since weve been keeping records. As far as the temperatures for today, 30s and 40s. But then arctic air will make its way in along with the wind. In new york, 26 for the windchill through the early part of the morning. And then singledigit numbers for thursday and friday. Likewise in boston. Philly, syracuse wont get above zero as far as the windchill. Incredible stuff. Of course were going to have record lows here. Upwards of 16 record lows potentially through the early part of thursday. Then for the big parade, bundle up if youre going to be out there. Look at these temperatures staying at the lower 20s. With the wind at 15 to 20 miles per hour, thats going to make it feel like the upper Single Digits. And if that wind gets steadily above 20 miles per hour, well have to cancel the balloons. Well have to watch this closely. But either way, just pack accordingly. It is going to be a frigid thanksgiving morning. Guys . Feels like Single Digits. Good thing we usually watch the parade from inside. Absolutely. At the cnn building. Ahead, men making choices about womens rights is a sad irony. What thats a mississippi judge says. He ruled against a ban on abortions at 15 weeks. So this christmas, take care of the hands that take care of you. Thats me in back in 1987, when i gave isotoner gloves to all my teammates.

A Chicago Police officer recovering after being shot during a traffic stop. He was hit in the back of his bulletproof vest. Police returned fire, striking the gunman in his neck. Hes in critical condition. The shooting comes one day after three people were shot to death at Mercy Hospital in chicago. Police officer Samuel Jimenez was among those killed along with a doctor and pharmacy resident. Another officer narrowly escaped being shot when a bullet hit his holster and embedded itself into his handgun. Strong words from a federal judge in mississippi who blocked a state law that outlaws most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The only facility in the state that provides Abortion Services sued after Governor Phil Bryant signed the measure in march. Judge Carlton Reeves calling it a, quote, sad irony that men are making decisions about a womans reproductive rights. He writes, the state chose to pass a law it knew was unconstitutional to endorse a decades Long Campaign fueled by National Interest groups. To ask the Supreme Court to overturn roe v. Wade. The judge also called the mississippi legislatures professed concerns about Womens Health pure gaslighting. Former Michigan State University President louwanna simon has been charged with lying to police in the larry nassar case. Shes accused of misleading investigators about how much she knew about sex abuse allegations against nassar, the doctor accused of abusing young women while employed by the university and usa gymnastics. Simon resigned in january after 13 years but has still been on the universitys payroll. Simon faces up to 12 years in prison. Her lawyer calls the charges political and untrue. Aspiring actress morell morelli mutey granted a restraining order against Michael Avenatti saying he hit her face with pillows and dragged her across the floor. Avenatti who represents Stormy Daniels was arrested last week. He has not been charged and denies the investigation. His lawyers say miniutti did not suffer any corporal injury at the hands of avenatti. Christmas came early for shoppers at a walmart in derby, vermont. A secret santa picked up the tab for almost everyone last week. One of the lucky shoppers snapped a picture of the mystery man as he left the store. She posted about the random act of kindness on facebook. Friends and neighbors responded saying their layaway charges were also paid off. Some as high as 800. I really had a feeling that theres hope for mankind or whatever. That theres still good people out there. Get goosebumps thinking that that is the true magic of christmas. Thats the Christmas Spirit walking amongst us. A store employee confirmed the anonymous shoppers generosity. Walmart would not say how many people he helped or how much he spent. Peas beat out carrots. Your headline of the day in a white house tradition. The annual turkey pardon. The president did the honors before jetting off to maralago for the thanksgiving weekend. He said the vote was decided by a, quote, fair and open election. Carrots refused to concede. He added this even though peas and carrots have received a president ial pardon, i have warned them that House Democrats are likely to issue them both subpoenas. But he said carrots will live out the rest of he said peas and carrots will live out rest of their lives at the virginia techs gobblers exhibit. Really . All right. Whats coming up .

The times reports mcghan had white house lawyers write a memo warning the president about all the consequences including possible impeachment. Mcghan has since left the white house after extensive cooperation with the Mueller Investigation including 30 hours of interviews that unnerved the president. Cnn sources say the president also spoke repeatedly with Deputy Attorney general Rod Rosenstein and Matthew Whitaker, now the acting attorney general, then chief of staff to jeff sessions. Mr. Trump asked them about Justice Department progress investigating Hillary Clinton. Hed been very clear he intended to go after her including this remark at a president ial debate. Judge. If i win, i am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation. Its just awfully good that someone with the temperament of donald trump is not in average of the law in our country. Yeah, because youd number jail. He tried.

Top Senate Republicans slamming President Trump for standing behind saudi arabia and crown Prince Mohammed bin salman in the wake of the murder of Washington Post journalist, u. S. Resident Jamal Khashoggi. In an official statement peppered with exclamation points, the president wrote, it could very well be that the crown prince had knowledge of this tragic event. Maybe he did, and maybe he didnt, exclamation. That said we may never know all the facts surrounding the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. In any case, our relationship is with the kingdom of saudi arabia. That contradicts a cia assessment the crown prince did order the killing, a finding of which u. S. Officials are highly confident. The president stood by his statement speaking to reporters.

Senate Foreign Relations chairman bob corker tweeted, i never thought id see the day the white house would moonlight as a Public Relations firm for the crown prince of saudi arabia. Wow. Kentucky senator rand paul wrote a series of tweets including this im pretty sure the statement is saudi arabia first, not America First.

New Financial Disclosures filed by acting attorney general Matthew Whitaker reveal more than 900,000 in payments from a conservative group he founded in 2014. The group known as f. A. C. T. Received almost all of its funding from a dark Money Organization which got at least some of its funding from major republican donor charles koch. Most of whitakers income in the past few years came from f. F. A. C. T. , although cnn paid him 15,000 as a legal commentator in 2017. The disclosure magnify concerns over whether the senate would confirm whitaker if the president nominated him as a permanent attorney general. Until yesterday government watchdog groups had repeatedly raised concern about why the requests for the public documents had gone unfulfilled. President trump ad mid his daughter and Senior Adviser ivanka trump did use private email to conduct white house business during the start of his administration. After years of criticizing Hillary Clinton for doing something quite similar, the president is denying any hypocrisy and drawing this distinction between the actions of his daughter and his political rival there was no hiding. There was no deleting like Hillary Clinton did. There was no service in the basement like Hillary Clinton had. Ivanka trumps private email use will face new scrutiny soon from democratic and republican leaders. They want to determine whether the president s daughter broke the law. Nancy pelosis bid to reclaim the speakers gavel just got a big boost. Congresswoman marcia fudge, an ohio democrat who was weighing a potential challenge, announcing she will instead endorse pelosi. Fudge says she made her decision after being assured black women will have a seat at the partys decisionmaking table. Pelosi also announced plans to revive a subcommittee on Election Integrity and make fudge the chairwoman in the new congress. At this point pelosi has not faced a formal challenge in the speakers race. Shes encountered opposition from a small but vocal group of House Democrats who want new leadership. Now to the cnn exclusive we told you about. After a year of apologizing for facebooks missteps, Facebook Ceo Mark Zuckerberg is sounding a lot more defiant. Last week a New York Times report claimed the company wasnt transparent about russias interference in the 2016 election. The report said facebook hired a p. R. Firm to dig up dirt on its competitors and encourage reporters to examine the links between liberal billionaire george soros and activists protecting facebook. Can you state for the record, did you know anything about this . Well, i like i said on the call, you know, i learned about this when i read the report, as well. Im not sure thats the most important point. I think your question is right that this is i do run the company. I am responsible for everything that happens here. I dont think that this point was about a specific p. R. Firm. It was about how we act. You know, the p. R. Firm was founded by republican political strategists. It launched a campaign linking facebook critics to george soros. This is a common tactic used by antisemitic and altright groups. Thats why i think people were so shocked when they found out about this. I think that was part of the report that folks had real questions about. Does that strike you as stooping low . Yeah. I wasnt particularly happy about that piece of it. Thats certainly a big part of what when i read about this what made me want to look into this more deeply. The intention was never to attack an individual. There are these lobbying groups and folks out there whose primary purpose is to attack the company. And i do think its fine to push back on them. Its not common for Tech Companies to necessarily hire these types of firms. Many would argue its a way of spreading the same type of conspiracy theories that facebook has worked hard to get on top of. Yeah. Look, from the review that ive done so far, it doesnt appear that anything that the group said was untrue. Zuckerberg went on to say we have a different world view than some of the folks covering us. Terrific job there by lori seigel. Global markets and u. S. Futures down sharply one day after the dow last more than 500 points, wiping out all gains for the year. Its not alone.

Members of the International Policing agency passing on a russian official who was expected to get the job. Cnns Matthew Chance is live in moscow with more. Reporter thank you very much. It was a surprise announcement, youre right, because its the russian candidate whod been widely tipped to be elected as the next president of interpol in the event the candidate, the delegates at the General Assembly in dubai that voted, they voted for the south korean candidate, kim jongyang, that averted further controversy for that International Policing organization. The reason the russian candidate was so controversial, first of all, russia has been accused repeatedly of having a flagrant disregard for international law. So it was a feeling internationally that it would have been inappropriate for a Russian National to take over the reins of the International Policing body. But also because russia has been one of the worst offenders of abusing the interpol system by issuing socalled red notices, the closest thing to International Arrest warrants, against dissidents, critics of the kremlin, and russias perceived opponents. Its done that repeatedly around the world. And to figures including bill browder, u. S. Born businessman who gave a News Conference yesterday. Criticizing the possibility of a Russian National being made the president of interpol. He issued this statement on twitter earlier saying that after the south korean was elected, reason prevails in this dark world. And so a lot of people satisfied at this election result. Reason prevailing. A Novel Concept sometimes. Matthew, thanks for the perspective. Some strong words from a federal judge in mississippi who blocked a state law that outlaws most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnan pregnancy. The only facility in the state that provides Abortion Services sued after the governor signed the measure in march.

The peas beat out the carrots in a white house tradition, the annual turkey pardon at the white house. The president did the honors before jetting off to maralago for thanksgiving break. He said the vote was decided by a, quote, fair and open election, and carrots refused to concede. He added this even though peas and carrots have received a president ial pardon, i have warned them that House Democrats are likely to issue them both subpoenas. Both peas and carrots will live out the rest of their turkey lives at virginia techs gobblers rest exhibit. That was funny. While you were sleeping, Stephen Colbert had a field day with the turkey pardon. The turkeys disguised themselves as vegetables so trump would not be tempted to eat them.
