Home state in the state of the Committee Vice chairman now refusing to fully cooperate with the president s voter fraud commission. Is this going nowhere fast . Welcome to the lead. Im jim sciutto in for jake tapper. We begin with july fourth holiday with breaking news in the lead. President saying our country will grow and prosper. This as the president faces a new and serious threat from north korea. U. S. Officials have now determined that north koreas missile test last night was most likely an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile which could indicate a Significant Development in the road regimes weapons program. The launch prompted an unexpected meeting between president Trumps National security team, the president responding to the test as you might expect on twitter. Writing, quote, north korea has Just Launched another missile. Does this guy have anything better to do with his life . Hard to believe that south korea and japan will put up with this much longer. Perhaps china will put a heavy move on north korea and end this nonsense once and for all, exclamation point. The north korean threat is certain to be a major focus of Donald Trumps second overseas trip as president with Vladimir Putin in the offing. Barbara starr at the pentagon. Barbara, what leads u. S. Officials to believe this could have been an intercontinental ballistic test with the range potentially of at least hitting the United States . Reporter jim, Administration Officials are making it clear they dont want this situation to escalate, but they are also saying looking at the latest intelligence from satellites and other sensors, that is what is convincing them this most likely was an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile. So a step forward, but youre hearing that officials dont believe that today a north korean icbm could directly strike the intercontinental u. S. . Reporter what they are saying is what theyve continued to say. Kim jongun has a very active missile test program, and that they believe that is his ultimate goal. He cant maybe do it yet, but they really do believe thats what he wants to do, a missile with a Nuclear Warhead that could hit the u. S. These are the first images of the north Korean Missile launch the u. S. Never wanted to see. U. S. Officials calculate this is likely a twostage Intercontinental Ballistic Missile, an icbm, that could someday hit parts of the United States. U. S. Spy satellites for days had picked up imagery of a potential kn17 Missile Launch like this one launched in may being ready. Now the latest assessment suggests the new launch was a more advanced missile that traveled farther than any previous missile test. The south korean and u. S. Military estimates the missile traveled more than 580 miles in 37 minutes. Based on this, experts calculate the missile could have a maximum range of roughly 4,160 miles, long enough to reach all of alaska but not the rest of the u. S. You have to remember the Missile Technology has been around for a long time so there are no particular secrets. Reporter the new launch comes as north korea also continues to pursue the development of a Nuclear Warhead. Theyre buying Nuclear Warheads with interballistic technologies by kim jongun is a recipe for disaster. I know there is some debate, but we must be prepared to fight tonight. I must take him at his word. I must assume that his claims are true. Reporter top officials from the state department, the pentagon and the white house held meetings throughout the july 4th holiday. Administration officials emphasizing diplomacy, but with tensions rising, everything is on the table. I think everyone agrees, and i believe the Trump Administration agrees as well that there are no good military options. If you take the military option off the table, you come back to sanctions. Weve seen in the past its not going to solve the problem. Reporter the russian and chinese president offering up another solution at their meeting in moscow, announcing the Work Together to freeze the north Korean Program but demanding the stop to u. S. South Korean Military exercises and an end to the thaad Missile Defense deployment to south korea, both nonstarters for the u. S. Translator there is, of course, the whole question of the korean peninsula, the building of peace and stability. It is very important to push forward our joint initiative on settling the korean problem with the view of immediately freezing the Ballistic Missile strikes and also dealing with the u. S. Deployment of weapons in south korea. Reporter now, u. S. Commanders had recently updated military options for President Trump to be ready for a very Rapid Response if it came to that. But again, what theyre saying is nobody is looking tonight for a shooting war on the korean peninsula. What we might see is more diplomatic action and possibly more of a u. S. Troop presence in the coming weeks. Jim . And all those military options have some serious downsides. Barbara starr at the pentagon, thank you very much. The north korea missile test is jostling the region. South korea right on the front lines of this. How are officials there responding to this latest missile test . These tests are almost a weekly event now. Well, jim, theres certainly much more concern about this particular test. The south korean officials at this point havent officially confirmed that they believe it to be an icbm. The joint chiefs of staff here in seoul saying theyre still analyzing the data. They did have some tough talk for north korea. Were really seeing an uptick in the south korean side of the rhetoric at this point, saying that if north korea continues to ignore the south Korean Military to continue with these reckless provocations then the kim jongun regime will face destruction. Its very hard, though, in reality to see what exactly north or south korea could do in addition to what theyve already done. We also heard from president moon. Remember, hes pro dialogue. Just a few days ago standing next to President Trump in the rose garden, he said he wanted to invite north korea back to the negotiating table. Its difficult to see how that would happen now. But today he said that he warned north korea not to cross the bridge of no return. He didnt exactly say what the red line was but asked him not to cross that, either. Jim . Paula hancocks in seoul. Paula, thank you. I want to bring in a democratic member from the great state of virginia, also a member of the Foreign Affairs committee. Thanks for taking time off on your july 4th holiday. Yeah. This has for north korea since the president was inaugerated really an acceleration in these tests. Absolutely. Does this mean that President Trumps north korea policy is failing . I think Donald Trumps modus operandi of threats and tweets is backfiring. If youre kim jongun and north korea, youre going to ak s accelerate your Nuclear Program because this guy is threatening you, and theres no stepping down to impeding that capability. Whatever the intentions of the Trump Administration, the results are counterproductive. Our reporting is that the president s response, hes considering a, quote, unquote, measured response, Something Like a flyover, possible imposition of more sanctions. These are things that have been tried before by multiple administrations, and yet the north korean Nuclear Program marches on, in effect. Do you have expectation that steps like that will actually deter the north korean regime . Not at this point. Im pessimistic about being able to get them to cease and desist their Nuclear Development program. I think the only possibility its going to work is a combination of carrot and stick. Weve only tried the stick lately. Thats not working. So there has to be some invitation and something they get out of freezing their program. We need the chinese and we need the russians to cooperate with that. I was glad to hear the russians and chinese talking about it, but there hasnt been an awful lot of action so far. And frankly, the price putin just talked about, which would be for the United States to cease doing joint military exercises with the south is an unacceptable price for us. I wonder, is a military strike actually a workable option . President s bush, obama, trump have said military options are on the table, but we know the enormous cost to seoul, for instance, very close to the border. North korea has thousands of artillery pieces trained on south korea. We know that there would be an immense cost there and of course United States troops there as well. So does the president actually have, realistically have, a military option with north korea . Boy, i dont really think so. Is it a credible threat . We dont want to take anything off the table, but 25 Million People live in seoul, and the dmz is the suburb of seoul. The dmz is as close to seoul as Dulles Airport is to washington, d. C. Yeah. Theres no reaction time there, literally, to a strike. Yeah. They would be the first victims and the japanese the second. Thats why theyre very concerned about hostile rhetoric coming out of this white house, because it only makes the tension greater and seems only to, you know, get kim jongun to double down on his nuclear and Missile Development programs. I suppose there is always the risk of misunderstanding, too, escalation. Absolutely. We dont understand each other very well to begin with. Absolutely, thats a real risk. Congressman, stay with us. We have the advantage of more time, much more to discuss to talk about President Trumps meeting with Vladimir Putin a more conventional sitdown. Well talk about that after this break.

Weighs a response to north korea, President Trump is now waiving the profile of his meeting this week with russian president Vladimir Putin. Instead of just a brief sideline at the g20 summit, a pullaside, as they call it, President Trump is now saying a fullfledged bilateral meeting is in the works for both sides and many other people involved in the room. Ryan nobles joins me live from the white house. Ryan, the kremlin said advantages of a meeting with the u. S. And russia are at zero level. Do the people you spoke with at the white house today see it the same way . Reporter theres no doubt the administration realizes things are tense with russia, but President Trump has long talked about smoothing out the relationship with the country. Now that this meeting will be a formal bilateral event, it will take on a much Greater Public focus and it could indicate that both sides are looking to strengthen diplomatic ties. As donald trump prepares for the second overseas trip of his presidency, rising tensions around the globe are raising the stakes with his meeting with world leaders. By yet another Missile Launch by north korea, to ongoing launches in syria and ukraine. All of these will be up for discussion as President Trump travels to the g20 summit in germany. But nothing will get the attention like the facetoface meeting between trump and putin on friday, which is the first bilateral discussion between the two president s in nearly two years. If putin likes donald trump, i consider that an asset rather than a liability. We have a horrible relationship with russia. Reporter the Trump Administration is hopeful for a breakthrough. Our relationship with russia is not different from any other country in terms of us communicating to them really what our concerns are, where we see problems in the relationship but also opportunities. Reporter the meeting comes amidst some ongoing counsel investigation, and probes are under way regarding russias meddling in the election. Though its not clear if that will be addressed when the leaders meet. Instead the administration tells cnn the president plans to focus his time on syria and ukraine. In addition to his time with putin, President Trump will also meet with xi jinping, a meeting that will be critical after north koreas missile tests and the bank for aiding north korea. The u. S. s strategic patience with the north korean regime has failed. Many years and its failed. And frankly, that patience is over. Reporter trump signalled his kbashs wi impatience with the regime, and he went a step further, signalling north korea to do more. This guy just fired another missile. Does this guy not have anything better to do with his life . Hard to believe that south korea and japan will put up with this much longer. Perhaps china will put a heavy move on north korea and end this once and for all. For all the issues on this eve of the president s very important trip, we got another tweet from the president moments ago and this is what hes thinking about. He wrote, quote, gas prices are the lowest in the u. S. In ten years. I would like to see them go even lower. This is not a topic weve heard the president talk all that much about, and it comes right before a major trip with some major issues in front of him. I guess no gas tax for the major infrastructure plan. Pushing back on the request for voters personal information as the guy who asked for that request says he didnt ask for personal Social Security numbers, even though his letter tells a different story.

The president is going to sit down with Vladimir Putin, his first facetoface meeting with putin, not forever but as president here. White house Officials Say mr. Trump is not planning to bring up russias meddling in the u. S. Election. How convenient. Your response . Well, this longrange bromance puzzles all of us. I think its highly irresponsible for the president of the United States who takes an oath to not defend the electoral process of the United States and allow this to continue with the lead hacker who did interfere with our election and attempted to influence its outcome. Of course, trump was the beneficiary. Maybe thats why. Let me ask you this. Trump and the white house will often say this is purely a democratic point of view. Youre, of course, a democrat. But its interesting, this is happening now as theres bipartisan support in the senate for a bill imposing further sanctions on russia exactly for election meddling, but that bill is sitting in the house now. It cant get through. Youre there. Do you have an explanation for why that is . I think a lot of members of the house are protective of this white house no matter what. There are a lot of enablers and rationaliz rationalizers. The idea that democrats only care about foreign interference in an election is absurd. Any patriot this is july fourth ought to care about foreign interference with an american election. And its very conspicuous that this president has chosen to deny it, to belittle it, to dismiss it and not discuss it with russian officials. Are you saying this sanctions bill will not get out of the house . I think it will pass and the senate had a huge vote in favor of the sanctions bill. I believe it will come up to a vote on the floor of the house, and i believe when it does, it will pass. Final question. The kremlin said yesterday its losing patience with the u. S. Over those diplomatic compounds that were seized by the u. S. During the transition period by the Obama Administration as a third round of sanctions against russia for election meddling here. Do you think the president might use those compounds as some sort of bargaining chip with russia, a sign of improved relations, as he sits down with the russian president . I certainly hope not. Until and unless we get to the bottom of this hacking and the nature of the russian interference and the extent of it in our elections, why would you want to reward them by returning these properties that we know theyve used for espionage . We know that when we took them back over, they were filled with equipment they had destroyed that had clearly been used for intelligence gathering purposes. So, no, dont reward bad behavior, and if you do, i think it looks suspicious as it is and only further clouds this president and his presidency. Congressman connelly, thank you so much for taking the time. Thank you. A happy fourth to you and your family. You, too. Can they actually get any of the personal data its now asking for . Were going to look into that right after this break. I was always the girl with psoriasis. People dont stare anymore. I never joined in. That wasnt fair to any of us. I was covered. I tried lots of things over the years. But i didnt give up. I kept on fighting. I found something that worked. That still works. Now . See me. See me. I found clear skin that lasts. See if cosentyx could make a difference for you cosentyx is proven to help people with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Find clear skin that can last. Dont use if youre allergic to cosentyx. Before starting cosentyx, you should be checked for tuberculosis. An increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur. Tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms. Or if you have received a vaccine or plan to. If you have inflammatory bowel disease, tell your doctor if symptoms develop or worsen. Serious allergic reactions may occur. See me to know. Clear skin can last. Dont hold back. Ask your dermatologist if cosentyx can help you find clear skin that lasts. [ sighs ] hey, i was using that.

What do hospitals use to wash and protect it . Johnsons® the number 1 choices in hospitals. Welcome back, and we are back with more in politics and a wave of pushback of Trump Administration requests about you. 44 states are now refusing to hand over Sensitive Information to a request. Last week they not only asked for names, birthdates and partial Social Security numbers but also political numbers if already publicly available. Both democratic and republican state officials have raised questions about what the commission actually plans to do with all the data. We should remind our viewers that President Trump ordered the formation of this commission after making a claim repeatedly debunked that millions of people voted illegally in the 2016 election. I want to bring in tom foreman now. President trump accused states of hiding something by refusing the commissions requests, but what are the states concerns about not providing this information . Theyre worried about privacy, theyre worried about legality, and any credible study suggesting there has been any widespread voter fraud, theyre worried about what the white houses true intentions might be. Fourth of july and states coast to coast are showing their independence in the face of the sweeping president ial request for voter information. All but a handful are either flat out refusing to share data, offering only some of it, or saying the white house needs to go through other channels to obtain it. Many are citing privacy concerns and legal barriers while others are openly questioning the administrations motives. Its not really clear what the state is going to be used for. It seems to me to be a fishing expedition or witch hunt of some kind. Reporter the president has long argued with no proof that massive voter fraud occurred in last falls election involving millions of ballots. So many things are going on. Reporter but even some states willing to provide some information dont necessarily buy that. I do not believe that vote fraud occurred on the scale thats been described. I do believe that vote fraud occurs, and its important to stay steps to prevent it. Reporter the electronic privacy information center, a privacy Advocacy Group here in d. C. Has asked a federal court to temporarily block the white house effort. Meanwhile the point man on the president s commission, kansas secretary of state chris kobach, is steadily stidestepping the request for info. Let me answer your questions. First of all, the commissions purpose is not to prove or disprove what the president speculated about back in january. The purpose of the commission is to find facts and put them on the table. Reporter but the facts are already being twisted as many states have looked at the white house Shopping List and noted their own laws for bid releasing some of that data, especially any portion of a voters Social Security number, kobach pinned an oped on breitbart, a far right website, saying the commission didnt request that information. Really . Look at his letter to the states. While kobach noted some laws might prevent it, he did indeed ask for the last four digits of Social Security number if available. Now, this whole dispute could be moot if the court sides with that privacy group. A ruling could come this week. But either way, its hard to see how this effort will move forward effectively with so many states raising red flags about their willingness or legal ability to cooperate. Jim . Tom foreman, thanks very much. Lots to talk about today with my panel. Jack kingson, if i could start with you on the voter panel. One of several republicans pushed back on very strong terms with this request, he said very quotably, the Election Panel can go jump in the gulf of mexico. He says it violates privacy and states rights to run their own elections. Why is the president pushing for this election when there is so much bipartisan pushback . I think, for example, what weve seen with the travel ban is this legislation is going to look at things a certain way, and if they find theres obstacles, theyll try it a different way. Are you saying the president might back off this request . I think they might back off and take a different route. But because there is so much bipartisan, and i think there is a legitimate concern about privacy, but what we do know is that the pugh trust has said 24 Million People inaccurately registered to vote, 1. 8 Million People and dead people and 2. 8 million there is no evidence that dead people voted. There are almost 2 million voters in that state. They found 2 million voters in eight years. There is no evidence that they hacked election, but 1. 8 million voters in america have inaccuracies on their registration. I think its in everybodys bipartisan interest to say, could we do it better . American voters, democratic or republican, do they have reasonable doubts about the motivations of this Commission Based in part on one fact that the birth of this came from the president s debunked claim that 2 to 3 Million People voted illegally in the 2016 election . Absolutely. Were talking about this on independence day. And one of the most sacred principles in our country is the right to vote. And instead of legitimately looking at russian interference with our election, were trying to embark on a wild goose chase to satisfy the president s interests. You know, i found this very interesting. The Washington Post did an analysis that found in 2016 there were four instances of voter fraud. I suspect you could walk out on the mall right now and find four people that were injured by fireworks today. Were not doing an investigation into fireworks harm. Saying its possible President Trump might make a correction on this. Would you say thats fair to say . Not likely since hes wanted this before. I dont think hes done 180s on this. Maybe hell take away the request for Social Security numbers because that seems to have caused the most backlash but still remain at the core of it which is helping this database with the states. If they say forgetting the socials doesnt get those 44 states on board, hell have a problem affecting this. This is not in his own hands like the muslim ban, for example. He has to count on a lot of people in the states who dont want to do this to expect to have any success whatsoever. You have john kirby going to his second overseas trip. He will have President Trump will have a sitdown with Vladimir Putin. Inside Donald Trumps own white house, he has not been willing to confront russia on meddling in the election. Of course, there is an opportunity here to sit down and do it. Its our reporting. Were hearing from inside the administration he doesnt plan to do that. Whats your reaction . Is that a missed opportunity . First, thank you for not asking me any questions about voter fraud. I want to ask about your records. Im heartened to hear there is frustration in the white house about this. I think thats healthy. And i do hope that hell change his mind and hell bring this up. Frankly, its probably going to get brought up, anyway, because putin is going to complain about the fact that he kicked out his compounds and thats because of the meddling. Theyre going to backdoor into this, anyway, but i think this is a great opportunity for the president of the United States. Even if he doesnt want to talk about the past because i know thats a problem with him. To talk about the future of meddling and the fact that russians are not going to stop this cyberactivity, i think it would be a waste for him talking to president putin and raise some facts going forward. John could be raising an important point. I speak to folks and you hear this elsewhere that russia is continuing its attacks and theyre targeting both parties and possibly laying the groundwork for another attack in 2018, 2020. You said the president course krek corrects. He course corrected on the travel ban and he might course correct on this fraud issue. Getting back to johns point about the back dooring, there is kind of two ns and two ss there are out. One is north korea, the other is natos expansion that worries putin, and then you have syria and sanctions. You cant talk about sanctions without talking about election meddling. And so the president actually goes in there with an advantage where he could actually say, gee, id like to work it out but i got the u. S. Senate passing these sanctions, theyre all over me, so we have to talk about this. He has the excuse of kind of the board of directors, if you will, saying, damn it, this will be an issue and you will deal with it. So i think whatever his personal view might be, he still has that great excuse to bring it up and drive the point. One of the obstacles so far, knowing we cant read the president s mind but you hear from others covering him very closely, is that its difficult for the president to go there because he associates any discussion of election meddling with something somehow diminishing his election victory. But jack makes a very credible argument there as to how he could make that happen. I mean, he could. It would be a dramatic turnaround given he has not done that course correction behind closed doors with the russian president. Maybe he thinks its a safer space, who knows. The question in my mind is who is going to control that conversation . Putin is a world player on the world stage. He is very good at putting these situations to his advantage. President trump is centering these foreign trips to people that are flattering him when he goes overseas. Putin mayor m or may not do tha. Its going to be a challenge for the president trying to control that environment given he doesnt have a track record on this election issue backing up his actions in that room. North korea, few have referenced it but north is very much at the front of the president s agenda. That was a warning he gave trump, and lo and behold, this is where we are. John kirby, we discuss a lot, and i just had democratic congressman from virginia on, and i asked him, is it a fact that the u. S. Is going to kind of accept north korea, right . Thats the direction. The military options arent great. Is that the unexpressed reality of u. S. North korea policy now . First of all, they already are Nuclear Armed. From i dont know where this is going to go. Clearly this is not a Problem Solved in the short term and we might have to find ourselves down the road dealing with a range of options that have to, at the beginning of them, accept. North korea is a Nuclear Armed state and can threaten their neighbors with those types of weapons. Chris, lu, its something successful in administrations both democratic and republican, but even going back prebush. As a country and donald trump ma many. Is this a reality for him . Its a reality of foreign policy. When you look at what he said in the campaign about south korea and japan having to shoulder their defense obligations, what he said about china and needing chinas help in resolving this situation. This is very difficult. You look at the incredible tweets hes had not only over the last 24 hours, but the last six months where hes continued to ratchet up the rhetoric. Then all of a sudden, last night. Hopefully china, south korea and japan can figure this out on their own. Jack kingson, what is President Trump doing that his predecessors did not regarding north korea to stop or slow its Nuclear Program . I think he has the advantage of history, and they have been very disingenuous. Theyre not using their nuclear capabilities, which is the treat i that president clinton signed almost 20 years ago. Im talking about today. But if you look at what theyre doing, theyre inching along every day. Not even inching. I think getting six of thus. They can still buy from china and russia. We need them to step forward. John kirby, thank you very much. Happy fourth to all of you. Pope francis weighing in again on the fight over a british baby now on life support. Now the u. K.

Welcome back to the lead and in our world lead, the vatican is now offering to take the charlie gard baby into its care after the president and the pope put a spotlight on the baby. The pope wants to take the baby on life support. The hospital where the child is now wouldnt release him to the parents, somewhat amazingly, but will they release him to the popes hospital, at least, the vatican hospital . The parents dont necessarily want to send him to the vatican hospital where he wont get the treatment they want him to get in the states, anyway. The vatican might just keep him on life support longer. The parents have already said they think his present quality of life is untreatable. Thats why they wanted this treatment in the United States, but the court of european human rights dont think thats in charlies best interest. They think its in best interest of the child for treatment to be withdrawn and he be taken off life support. You have other expressions of support. At one point 7 million u. S. Dollars provided. Has the court order made it so the parents cant take him out of the country . There is now no Legal Recourse anymore. The court order means they cant take him out.

The doctors at his hospital on great Almond Street had considered using the same therapy until they saw his condition had deteriorated so much since january, they thought it would be pointless. The parents just wanted to give it one last ditch effort. They had the money, they just wanted to give it a go. Here in the u. K. , they tried to put the childs interests first and the judges felt this might benefit medical science but it wont benefit charlie. Heartbreaking for the parents.
