Almost to the lead, im jake tapper. Well begin with the politics lead an the white house minutes ago addressing the president s maximum Pressure Campaign on the department of justice, breaking with norms and pushing for an investigation into the very people investigating him and his campaign team. This comes after the revelation that a confidential fbi source in 2016 had conversations with Trump Campaign staffers. The president responding to that news today saying, quote, if they had spies in my campaign during the campaign for political purposes, that would be unprecedented in the history of our country. Sarah sanders revealing that the meeting with lawmakers about that confidential source will take place on thursday of this week and the individuals expected to attend are devin nunes sand trey gowdy. Fbi director Christopher Wray and dan coates and attorney general edward ocallaghan. No democrats invited but while democrats and some republicans are concerned over how the president is characterizing this fbi confidential source and some are chagrinned as the president s rhetorical disregard for prosecutorial independence to say nothing of the description of Robert Mueller, a widely respected former fbi director and republican as a fear former obama employee, more than a dozen House Republicans calling for a Second Special counsel into the Justice Department itself. To investigate the investigators as it were. Cnn Laura Jarrett begins our Coverage Today with this report. Weve become reporter President Trump weighing in on a controversy he helped start. If they had spies in my campaign, during my campaign for political purposes, that would be unprecedented in the history of our country. Reporter a confidential intelligence source used by the fbi and cia for years, now in the middle of a political fire storm and the white house saying lawmakers will get the information they want after weeks of the Justice Department refusing to hand over details about the individual and pressure from House Republicans. Were just not going to take this nonsense of every time we peel Something Back and need information and we get ignored and we get stalled or stonewalled and then low and behold we get accused, well destroy the nations ability to keep it secure. Reporter while current and former Officials Say the source was not planted inside of the Trump Campaign they were not. They were spying on on a term i dont like, but on what the russians were doing. Reporter reports about the sources discussions with former Trump Campaign advisers have fueled accusations about a campaign mole. A notion adopted by the president who ordered the Justice Department over the weekend to launch an investigation into the fbi. Some man got paid based on what i read in the newspapers and on what you reported, some person got paid a lot of money. That is not a normal situation. The kind of money youre talking about. Reporter and even former Trump Campaign advisers say the conversations with the individual were hardly cloak and dagger or otherwise eventful. The meeting was very high level and it is like two faculty members sitting down in the faculty lounge talking about research and there was no indication or inclination that this was anything other than just wanting to offer up his help to the campaign if i needed it. I never felt grimed so if hes a if hes good at doing that, then perhaps that is part of the game. Reporter top officials in the Trump Administration had tried to protect the sources identity and records, fearing his life could be placed at risk but the white house brokered an agreement for lawmakers to review the highly classified information they sought. Only raising more questions than answers about precisely what lawmakers will now receive and leaving democrats worried trump has crossed a red line. I think little by little and sometimes not so little we are seeing an erosion of the independence of the Justice Department that is gravely concerning. Reporter when asked today why no democrats are planning to attend this highly classified briefing on thursday, White House Press secretary Sarah Sanders said it is simply because they havent been the ones asking for the information. Jake. The democrats have said they want to be there, Laura Jarrett, thank you. My panel here with me. Phil mudd, let me start with you. I want to play part of what the president said when asked if he had confidence in Deputy Attorney general Rod Rosenstein. Take a listen. Do you have confidence in rod rosenste rosenstein. What is your next question, please. Im i have the president of south korea here. He doesnt want to hear these questions if you dont mind. Your interpretation of that answer. That is a no. But this is not just a question about Rod Rosenstein. You know who is on the hot seat is the attorney general. If the president removed rosin stein the first we is somebody who was with the president early on in the campaign and that is the attorney general Jeff Sessions has to step back and i think and say, ive got to go too. There is the law of unintended consequences, if the president wants to move, there will be other stuff that will roll if he cluzs to take out rosin stein. Do you think it is possible that there should be oversight what the fbi did in allowing a confidential source to go and talk to people on a campaign . It is certainly an unusual thing and congress has an oversight role. I think the big challenge here is that the president s Party Looks Like its trying to shield the president and the president of the United States is going up against his own doj and the republicans are coming in to basically shield him from an investigation, at the end of the day the fbi was looking at russian interference in the election and there are people russians have been indicted for their involvement in the election and the fact that republicans are basically trying to run interference for the president s investigation that is going on for months and the fact that Rod Rosenstein or wray are meeting with the president at all to discuss this investigation, i think it taints what is happening here and makes it look like the republicans are trying to undermine scott, do you have any issues with President Trump reaching out to the Justice Department and suggesting that they investigate the investigators, as it were. No, as far as i know, the Justice Department is a still a Cabinet Agency existing under the president of the United States, according to our constitution. And so your first question, of course there should be oversight. Nobody in the government is above oversight. And we have a situation now where i think in the latest survey, 43 of americans said i want this investigation to end. You have a rising number of people who lack confidence in it. No matter the outcome, collusion, no collusion, whatever happens, we need the American People to accept the outcome. Theyll be a huge number of people who wont. If things like this are not investigated. Politics were at play and Text Messages between two of the agents and comey admitted he had politics on the brain when he made certain decisions. This absolutely has to be looked at by the Inspector General at the least and maybe special counsel. And the Inspector General is looking at it. You are demonstrating the papt partisanship in this investigation. Youre arguing this needs to be investigated by republicans. Why arent democrats part of this . If there should be an investigation, it should be bipartisan but that is not happening. Only republicans who are trying to run cover for the president and the fact that your siding polling from the fact that the president has attacked the investigation from the beginning, those it is republicans who are questioning this investigation, not independents. Do you think the democrats should be at this meeting . They want to be there. I do, actually. I think when we have congressional oversight both parties need to be represented. The republican want this information but there is no reason not to have people there. I suspect that at smibt sm po some point this is coming out any way so shielding it from parties wont make sense to me. Phil, listen to sam clovis, a Trump Campaign official with whom the confidential source met. Here he is describing the meeting. Its with an academic meeting. It was not anything other than him talking about the research that he had done on china and that was essentially what the discussion was about. I didnt have any notes on the meeting because there must not have been anything substantial that took place. What would the meeting have been . If you are running by the way, i want to challenge something that was discussed earlier, this is unusual for an informant to be an investigation of political corruption and unusual at a president ial level but one of the top ten priorities for the fbi is political corruption and whether it is the city council or the president , if you want to understand as we saw in this case what is happening, you put an informant in and this wasnt political corruption, it was a Counter Intelligence investigation and that is different. Sure. But you are talking about corruption and did something accept something of value from a Foreign Government and i would term that political corruption. Did they get information related to wikileaks that helped them in the campaign. And in this case, youll have somebody im not sure hes the only informant in the operation, going in and pretty softly, you dont want to spook the target and softly to say what are the conversations about russia and what are the conversations about china, you plight get to the level of passively trying to learn whether there are further conversations about what is showing up on here and whether people are making jokes as we heard from popadopoulos or not jokes about the foreknowledge of what wikileaks was showing so there is information from a human informant and even passively you cant get from a phone intercept. When the fbi asks a confidential source like this one to go in there and talk to Trump Campaign sources, are they trying to find out what the russians are up to or trying to find out what the Trump Campaign is up to . Or both . The pred case for the investigation is whether there is a violation of law. They are trying to find out whether nobody did something stupid or an ethical violation, they trying to determine what the russians did, but whether that led to illegal activity by somebody in the campaign. The whole purpose of the investigation is not strictly to learn what russians did, it is to learn whether a law was violated. There is an issue here to be explored on the question you just asked. Text messages are heavily redacted but there is a message that said these are the fbi agents. Yes. It says the white house is running this. Now there is a lot of redaction so we dont know what they meant by this but the mere presence of that statement alone must be looked at to answer the question that you asked, which is are they looking at what the russians are doing or what the Trump Campaign is doing. If you run a campaign and been elected or defeated in a campaign and found out later that people were probing the people ma work for you, you would want to know if political shenanigans were at play.

Safe driving today more than a dozen republican lawmakers demanded that a Second Special counsel be appointed to investigate the investigators. The republicans say there are enough questions about the conduct of the fbi and Justice Department regarding the probe into russian interference and into the 2016 election and the possible role of anyone affiliated with the Trump Campaign in that interference to warrant an entire Second Special counsel. Joining me is one of the House Republicans, congressman matt gates of florida and thanks for joining us. Thanks for having me, jake. And you spend time investigating the investigators. Do you agree with the premise of the original Counter Intelligence investigation that russia interfered in the election and it is worth getting to the bottom of any possible american assistance. Absolutely. Russia engaged in a Malign Influence Campaign all around the world. They seek to undermine democracy by undermining Democratic Institutions and they will continue to do that in the United States and there are a number of ways that our supervisors of elections and heads of our departments of state around the country are fighting to ensure that were sufficiently resilient to combat that threat. I want to know what you thought about. That today you demanded a Second Special counsel be appointed. Just point of fact, independent council are for violation of law. What crime are you suggesting might have taken place here . Well here we see the potential collection of intelligence on the Trump Campaign and we also see the misrepresentation of information before the fisa court which would violate woods procedures and something that we would absolutely want to get to the bottom of it and weve seen a number of personnel changes at the fbi and the department of justice that seem to indicate something is not right. When have you to demoat and reassign the top of intelligence and top lawyers in lisa page and Andrew Mccabe fired and bruce orr not disclosing his own wife was working for fusion gps and all of a sudden he goes from a counter narcotics professional to working on Counter Intelligence, it seems like a lot of information that could lead to hopefully some good bipartisan reform of these entities. So i wondered if you would bring up the issue of what was presented before the fisa court, because i dont know how you know that. Youre not on the House Intelligence Committee and you havent seen the underlying intelligence. How do you know that anything improper was done in the fisa court. We have received information and read the memo from the House Intelligence Committee that all thein entire house voted to declassify and that laid out clearly that the principle piece of evidence laid out was thises doeyer that was paid for by no, that memo that memo made it very clear that it was papadapoulos meeting with the australian diplomat in which he acknowledged that he had talked to somebody with kremlin connections about dirt on Hillary Clinton and Hillary Clinton emails that is one element. They said that the first piece of evidence. The devin nunes memo said that is the reason the investigation was launched. That is a memo from peter struck that did launch the investigation. But that didnt lead to the application before the fisa court. My allegation is that the woods procedures were not followed before the fisa court there wouldnt have been any preparation of the fisa court in the absence of that very dossier and that is not dont take my word for it, that is the testimony of Andrew Mccabe. I have talked to people at the Justice Department and say you keep saying this and you dont know what you are talking about because you are youre not on the youre not ount house intelligence and they are briefing the House Judiciary Committee and they have oversight over the fisa process. That is not exclusively the purview of the intelligence committee, frankly i wish the judiciary would be more active in interviewing witnesses regarding the procedures that were followed and the eftds that wasnt presented. These prosecutors before a fisa court did not have a defense attorney in the room. They had an obligation to present the evidence favorable to their position but the evidence that wasnt favorable and gave no indication that the dnc was involved in paying for this and no indication that Christopher Steele was involved only a vague reference to glenn simpson. They said it was paid for by politic political opponents of the and that was Christopher Steele who the fbi deemed uncredible because he lied to the fbi about other disclosure to the media. Lets step back to the issue to talk about this call for for a Second Special counsel. To investigate the investigators. To investigate the fbi, to investigate the Justice Department. Have you spoken directly with President Trump or any officials inside of the white house about this legislation, are they on board . I have not spoken to any of them about this legislation. Has anyone else in your group of members of congress who introduced this legislation, meadows or desantis, have they talked to anybody in the white house . Im looking to find out in f the white house supported this. Mr. Zeldin was the principal author and he said at a press conference hes not spoken to the white house and mr. Meadows indicated hes not spoken to the white house about this resolution and ive not spoken about the resolution so i dont know if other members of congress have but the principle author of the work product filed today have not spoken with the president or the white house about the specifics. Obviously there is a lot of information referenced regarding the status of the Hillary Clinton email investigation, the double standard at the fbi and the level of bias at the fbi and over time ive had discussions with the white house with b those issues but not about this today. And you slammed Jeff Sessions over a decision to recuse himself, rooted in Justice Department guidelines. You said this before mr. Sessions. Lets roll the tape. Over in the department of justice, hes got stockholm syndrome and and the entire Justice Department and intelligence apparatus and leadership was appointed by President Trump. So who is the deep state youre referring to . Is it the fbi director Christopher Wray or coats. My concern is with Rod Rosenstein. I think mr. Rod rosenstein is deeply conflicted and that in many cases he is playing Jeff Sessions and i think Jeff Sessions is functionally set off into a corner at the Justice Department on these Critical Issues or a legal or factual basis for his recusal and i think it has hurt the country. You said the white house is not yet fully fully informed about the extent of the of the Trump Campaign and what information do you know that the white house and president do not. I cannot talk about that in an unclassified setting. But there is an additional fact pattern nothing to do with the individual been talked about in the media regarding the collection of intelligence on the Trump Campaign and that is in the possession of some congressional investigators and not others and it is my hope to have Greater Transparency about the facts. And you learned about this how . Im not getting into that because it could disclose classified information. Take a listen to the former republican governor of new jersey, chris christie, a former u. S. Attorney continually advised President Trump on the Mueller Investigation. Take a listen. Bob mueller himself is not a partisan. Hes an onnest and hard working guy and hes smart and you cant argue the investigation is not effective so far. A number of guilty pleas and a couple of indictments in a year and thats pretty good work. Is he wrong . I dont agree with that assessment. When you look at the indictments against the russian entities, this is information in response to your first question that it is widely none around the world there is an effort for russia interfering in democracy and this is not Ground Breaking endeavor and the team that Robert Mueller has assembled there is great bias against the president and tools used, that arent fair, if the collection of evidence influenced the Mueller Investigation and we dont know that to be true but i want to find out more and that is why i support the appointment of a Second Special counsel. Congressman gaetz, thank you. Thank you. We have a lot to cover. My panel will be back with me next. David. Whats going on . Oh hey thats it . Yeah. Thats it .

And back with my panel. Were talking about the move by some House Republicans to push for a Second Special counsel. This one to investigate the Justice Department and the fbi and in other words, investigating the investigation. Phil mudd, you just heard matt gaetz pushing for this Second Council who thinks Rod Rosenstein is for want of a better term part of the deep state and working against the own attorney general and the president. What is your reaction . So part of this is the president of the United States saying i think there was a spy in my campaign because i read the newspapers. Could we step back for a moment. When we are in a democratic socie society we should be cautious having politicians decide who gets investigated. That is pollicization and that is dangerous. We should have investigated when trump tower was wiretapped because the president had a bee in his bonnet about that when susan rice unmasked people and the republicans had a bee in their bonnet and went to the white house and said that is a fraud. We should have investigated president obama because clearly as President Trump has told us, he was not born in the United States. Every time the president has a bad hair day, by the way which is often, were not going to conduct an investigation and politicians shouldnt be directing who gets investigated by federal authorities. What i dont fundamentally understand, is this conspiracy that is being alleged the fbi hurt Hillary Clinton. Now could you argue they did the right thing by having the press conference and reopening the investigation ten days before the election. Or not. But either way, they were denying any investigation into trump and they were very publicly talking about Hillary Clinton investigations. Where is tconspiracy here, i dont nor i dont understand i wouldnt call it conspiracy but this investigation is a year and youve had to live with a clout over it. If you think it would be upended by this cloud and by the end of which nothing may have been happened to you. You would be upset about. It i listened to mr. Gtz and they want to know did the russians meddle or have a willing or unwilling partner and can we stop them in the future and were there any political shenanigans at doj regarding the investigations. Mueller could get at the first three and we may need a layer of over sight to get to the four and you like the Inspector General. Yes. He nailed mccabe. Who the trump people hate. So i think the i. G. Might be the right answer here. I think you missed a fourth point which is the American People want to know if donald trump and his campaign did anything to actually help the russians that is a second point the proud point here honestly is what were seeing over this last week is the president of the United States and his Republican Party basically work to undermine the investigation of himself. It is as if a person under investigation by prosecutors is using a bunch of people to go after the prosecutors. That is part of what is happening here and i think the American People understand. And what is disconcerting is people would claim to care about the National Security of the American People, are perfectly happy to unveil people who are actually helping the fbi in order to meet their political ends. Everyone stick around. Maybe it will happen and maybe it wont.

The president casting doubt on whether the summit with kim jongun will happen on june 12th as north korea prepares to put on a big show inviting a small group of foreign journalists to watch them dismantle the Nuclear Test Sites. We have reports in north korea and the white house ready to react. Lets start with will ripley, one of the few invited to north korea and the 18th trip inside of the country. Is this dismantling as big of a deal as north korea is making it out to be . Well we really dont know until we get there. We have no information yet as to how much time were going to spend at the Nuclear Test Site which is almost a 20 hour journey here in won san and we hike to get to the location and the First Time International press been allowed. There weve been asking to go for years. We expect to see the implosion of the tunnels used to conduct Nuclear Tests and the most recent triggered a 6. 3 magnitude earthquake and the dismantles of facilities onsite but in terms of experts conducting a meaningful inspection, there arent any in our group and we are just journalists with cams and eyes and eerns and report to the world what we experience and whether we could analyze the authenticity, well have to leave that up to the experts and theyll decide. And north korea did not invite any journalists from south korea. What do you read into that . Reporter well it shows that well things seem to be going very well after the interkorean summit and there is obviously been a spike in tensions. Part of that is because of the military exercises, these aerial drills taking place right now in south korea. The North Koreans are very unhappy to see bombing jets and they say these are defensive in nature they feel this is another dress rehearsal for an invasion and not what they want to see ahead of peace talks with President Trump in singapore and the rhetoric out of washington angering the North Koreans and you heard from the Vice President mike pence saying if kim jongun doesnt make a deal, then iraq could fall by the way of libya. Where gadhafi gave up his nuclear westchesters and deapon later and john bolton made similar comments saying that north korea could be a lippia model and said they wont accept that and might walk away from the summit if things dont go well. So south korea not on the trip, well do our best to what we see. Thank you very much. And trump met with moon jaein expressed annoyance of kim jongun to an aggressive tone. Pax ella brown reports on that side of the story. President trump meeting with south korean president moon at the white house today. Mr. President , great honor. Reporter amid growing doubts the summit between trump and north Korean Leader kim jongun will happen on june 12th in singapore as planned. It is a very substantial chance that it wont work out and that is okay. That doesnt mean it wont work out over a period of time. But it may not work out for june 12th. But there is a good chance that well have the meeting. Reporter president moon looking to reassure u. S. Officia officials after statements where north korea threatened to withdraw from talks if the u. S. Continues to insist it denuclearize. It is certain conditions that we want and if we dont, we dont have the meeting and frankly it has a chance to be a great, great meeting for north korea and a great meeting for the world. Reporter the south korean National Security adviser telling reporters, we believe there is a 99. 9 chance the north koreanu. S. Summit will be held as scheduled but preparing for many different possibilities. Trump today also blaming the change in north korea mood on china recent meeting with kim. I think that president xi is a world class poker player. And i probably may be doing the same thing that he would do. But i will say this, there was a somewhat different attitude after that meeting. I think things changed after that meeting. So i cant say that im happy about it. Reporter trump did offer an olive branch, promising the north Korean Leader we will guarantee his safety and weve talked about that from the beginning. Le be safe, he will be happy. His country will be rich. His country will be hard working and very prosperous. Reporter but white house aides are skeptical the summit will happen and concerned the president is overly eager for the summit to take place, increasing kims lever average and anticipation is building up for weeks, with crowds chanting for trump to win a nobel prize. That is very nice. Thank you. Reporter in spite of the fragile situation, trump sounding cautiously optimistic. In the end it will work out. Cant tell you exactly how or why, but it always does. It will work out. Reporter so the message coming from the Trump Administration today on whether this summit will happen is one of uncertainty. And jake, i asked the press secretary Sarah Sanders where why the president would guarantee the safety of a dictator whose regime is a serial civil rights abuser and she did not answer saying complete denuclearization is the goal of the conversations.

Lets bring in jamie metzel to join the conversation. A member of the National Security counsel under the clinton administration. Might President Trump be right, might president xi of china threw a wrench into the plans of the upcoming summit and encouraged kim jongun to be tougher and more bellicose. For sure jinping have an interest on how the negotiations play out and that is what happens when you are in a complex chess environment like this. So for sure president xi jinping is playing chess but it looks like our president is playing tiddlywinks and we are bumbling into the summit where there is no agreement even among the u. S. Administration of where this is going and what are the goals. Hes playing tiddlywinks because there arent clear specific outlined goals for the summit . [ inaudible ] [ technical difficulties ] we gave them on the first day the president ial level meeting and on the first day the u. S. Suddenly had no more leverage and then going into the meetings, expecting that the North Koreans would give up their Nuclear Weapons when they had no reason or desire to and now no pressure to, it was always unrealistic and that that problem, that core problem is what is playing out now. And let me bring it back to the panel in studio here. Scott, it is not just democrats making this criticism, senator marco rubio tried to get at how president xi of china is playing President Trump and in a tweet he said china is outnegotiating the administration and winning the trade talks and avoiding tariff and they got the zte deal and without giving up anything meaningful in return by using north korea talks an agricultural issues at leverage. This is notwinning. That is from marco rubio. Your response. There is a lot going on here. The economic negotiation with china and the north korea denuclearization talks. This is beyond four dimensional chess, this is 25 dimensional chess and there is going on in the background that we dont know and china is a central player. Part of the president s uptick is his willingness to do Something Different on north korea to ratchet down tensions on the peninsula. So i think hes benefited politically from trying. What i would like to see now is if it falls apart, are the American People still going to credit him for trying or whether there will be a pull back and i think the polling said twothirds of americans agree to this and President Trump said he could ensure kim jonguns safety if a deal is made. Well guarantee his safety and weve talked about that from the beginning. He will be safe, he will be happy. His country will be rich. His country will be hard work and very prosperous. They are very great people. What do you think . I think hes responding to the libya point that that bolten said we want them to denuclearize like libya and when North Koreans hear libya they think of a dead qadhafi and the president for trump in the situation is we have the iran deal, we just gave up on, and then the libya experience and so it is very easy for the North Koreans to say we are not denuclearizing. And the president could set that up at the beginning saying were only going to negotiate if you denuclearize, they probably wont be having the summit. It is better to be talking than not talking but the reality they could just pull away so quickly makes us look i think a little silly. What do you think . Pretty simple,were better off when the president was in front of the u. N. Saying little rocket man. If were under an impression that the country believes the self defense indered on chemical weapons is the North Koreans saying i dont need you and the president saying well ill double dog and tell you i really dont need you. And a lot of dancing going on. And the significant comment was the phrase he used, this might happen over a period of time. He understands this is not just a meeting. It is a longterm process i hope. But if the best deal we could possibly get would be the equivalent of the iran deal, and the president has already on record saying that that is not good enough, so if were looking for any kind of denuclearization of north korea and that is not on the table, it is hard to see where there is any common ground.
