Backward in the effort to eliminate the threat of north Koreas Nuclear weapons program. President trump says theres a good chance next months planned summit with kim jong un will not happen on schedule. The president indicating today the meeting will either be on his terms or it wont happen at all. And it could very well be delayed as a possibility. Chief White House Correspondent john roberts starts us off from the north lawn tonight with where the summits prospects are. Good evening. Good evening. In the oval office today, President Trump said the chances of a summit between him and north Korean Leader kim jong un is basically a coin flip. 50 50, the president said. The white house is still making plans. President trump has repeatedly stated that the summit with kim jong un may happen. It may not happen. We will see. In the oval office today with south korean president moon jaein, the president went further down the road to pessimism that he has thus far. Very substantial chance that it wont work out and thats okay. That doesnt mean it wont work out over a period of time but it may not work out for june 12. Speak with the president s remarks flew in the face of the south Korean National security advisor who said just hours earlier there was a 99 chance the meeting will happen. Later this afternoon, secretary of state mike pompeo said the state department is still working for the june 12 date and that the u. S. Is in deep discussions with north korea over substance. We are working to make sure there is a common understanding of the contents discussed but i am optimistic. Again, this could be something that comes right to the end. Today north korea invited journalists to its Nuclear Test Site which north korea says is being decommissioned. Its unclear whether the site was even usable after the last nuclear test reportedly collapsed tunnels. President trump repeated today that kim will receive protections in exchange for dismantling his nuclear program. We will guarantee safety and we have talked about that from the beginning. He will be safe. He will be happy. President trump expressed frustration that north koreas recent squishing us about a summit seemed to coincide with a second meeting kim had with chinese president xi jinping on may 8. The second meeting, i think there was a little change in attitude from kim jong un. So i dont like that. I dont like that. President trump also said hes not happy with how trade talks between the u. S. And china have been going. Despite tweeting that china has agreed to buy massive amounts of Additional Farm Agricultural Products will be one of the best things to happen to our farmers and many years. The president insists he has not cut a deal to save Chinese Telecom giant zte, though he has some ideas to keep them in business. I envision a very large find of more than a billion dollars. Could be a billion. 3. I envision new management, new board, very strict security rules and i envision they have to buy a big percentage of their parts and equipment from american companies. Treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin was pummeled with questions about zte on capitol hill today. After conversations with President Trump, the Senate Minority leader came away worrying that the president will go soft on zte to keep xi jinping happy. We are pressing the president to stand firm, not to let zte wriggle out from under the tough sanctions we leveled on them. President trump had some ideas today of how he sees the long game with north korea. In the short term, the president envisions two koreas prosperous and living in peaceful coexistence. He did say he would ultimately like to see a reunified Korean Peninsula but only if the two countries wanted that to happen. No imposition of such an idea from the United States. Bret john roberts live on the north lawn. Thanks. Putting the squeeze on iran. The Trump Administration is imposing new sanctions on a group of iranians who supportig terrorism. It is part of the new get tough approach to the islamic republi republic. Good evening. Secretary of state mike pompeo wants iran to act like a normal country. He has listed a dozen demands hes expecting from iran. He says the United States is refusing to compromise on those because he says they should be easy to meet. The benchmark i set forward yesterday as a low standard. It is what we expect from countries all around the world. They are arent a special set of rules that we set forward for iran. We asked them to behave in the way normal nonbelligerent nations behave. Two hours ago secretary pompeo surprised reporters here, appearing in the press Briefing Room answering questions about north korea and iran. Yesterday the secretary announced the Trump Administrations iran policy following its withdrawal from the iran nuclear agreement. Pompeo demanded iran permanently halt any nuclear enrichment, release american prisoners, stopped funding militant groups. He says in exchange for irans compliance with the dozen demands, the United States would lift sanctions and help iran modernize its economy. Instead, more sanctions against iranians. This morning, the Treasury Department targeted five more. Pompeos warning companies and allied countries to avoid conducting business with iran. In response to pompeos speech, iranian president has president Hassan Rouhani says who are you to decide about iran. Who are you to decide for the world . Pompeo says the u. S. Is deciding for itself and articulating what america intends to do. In the next few months, the Administration Says its going to allow sanctions to move forward against iranians, the same types of sanctions that were prohibited when the u. S. Participated in the iran nuclear agreement. Pompeo says those measures will be the strongest in history. Bret. Bret rich edson live at the state department. Thank you. Venezuela is expelling the top u. S. Diplomat in that country. President Nicolas Maduro is accusing the top u. S. Officials there of conspiring against the government and trying to sabotage the countrys recent president ial election. Tensions between the u. S. And venezuela are increasing following maduros victory in the president ial election sunday, a vote the white house has branded a sham. Yesterday the Trump Administration impose new sanctions against the federal government. Republicans who have for months complained about the scope and duration of the special counsel investigation are now asking for a special prosecutor of their own. This comes as President Trump continues to insist the Justice Department look into reports of an informant inside his 2016 campaign. Chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge is in washington tonight with where things stand. The president left no doubt today where he stands on reports the fbi used at least one informant to gather intelligence on his campaign. If they had spies in my campaign, that would be a disgrace for this country. That would be one of the biggest insults that anyone has ever seen. It would be very illegal. With the south korean president by his side, the president did not avoid questions about his demands for the Justice Department to act. Some person got paid a lot of money. Thats not a normal situation. The suspected informant met with carter page and sam clovis and at one point was recommended for administration position. The individual was known to former Trump Campaign chairman Paul Manafort but they were not in contact during the 2016 election. With the president s insistence on a parallel investigation and the Justice Department expanding an existing probe to cover the informant allegations, the ranking democrat on the House Intelligence Committee accused the president of overstepping his authority. This is information that the Justice Department, fbi expressed grave concerns about. Whats been said is dynamite. Its the scandal of our time. House republicans asking a resolution for a Second Special counsel to investigate a broad range of allegations against the Justice Department and the fbi standing a three year period to include the clinton email case, alleged government surveillance abuse, as well as how and why the rush investigation began into the Trump Campaign. This president has turned over 1. 2 million documents to the special counsel mueller. And yet our doj and fbi, in a seven month period, has delivered less than 19,000 documents. Democrats accused republicans of improperly investigating the investigators. Normally when you have congress trying to interfere with an investigation, the president protects the independence of the Justice Department. Here the president as part of that interference. You have to take it up with the guys who wrote the constitution. Thats exactly what we are supposed to do. Give us the information we are entitled to see. White house brokered meeting, latest information indicating it will be thursday at the Justice Department. Source close to the discussions said its not clear the records requested by congress including those about an alleged fbi informant will be made accessible. Bret Catherine Herridge in washington. Thank you. More on this with the panel. Top House Republicans as russias goal is to create chaos during the upcoming midterm elections. How to prevent that is a major talking point tonight. Following a highlevel briefing from some of the countrys top intelligence officials. Correspondent peter doocy tells us from capitol hill apparently many in congress are not that interested. In a room beneath the capital, the intel chiefs who came to deliver a classified briefing about election interference that every house member was invited to share those secrets with a lot of empty seats. I would say we had 40 or so members that attended. Thats 40 out of 428 members serving right now. One theory congress didnt want to commute an hour early. Homeland security chairman was surprised so many lawmakers who talk about election interference blew off the director of national intelligence, fbi director, and dhs secretary. The democrats have made this such a big issue and asked for this briefing for a long time and we finally schedule it and its classified and 30 members show up. Every member of congress not retiring is up for reelection and the midterms but none are known to be in the cross hairs of foreign metallurgist. Right now we have no intel that there is a particular interest. Secretary nielsen said china and iran are considered threats to Election Integrity but that kind of interference they are worried about in 2018 is the same kind elected in 2016 where ballots arent changed by social media is manipulated to cause chaos. I think we remain concerned certainly on the foreign influence ive heard we have seen that continually. Details like that did not dazzle the democrats who did attend. I didnt hear one bit of classified information. There was nothing that i couldnt have read in usa today that was revealed. So the fact that there was a low attendance, it doesnt matter. This was the rare russiarelated event on capitol hill that happened behind closed doors, so its going to be very interesting to see if the hundreds of lawmakers who decided they didnt want the classified update today decided to show up to the next russia hearing where the cameras are rolling the whole time. Bret. Bret peter, moments ago the house passed legislation to ease banking rules, essentially a reform of the doddfrank law. What do we know about the bill thats actually now headed to the president s desk . Its making life easier for Smaller Banks in this country. After the financial crisis with the doddfrank regulations, the feds put the strictest regulations on banks that were worth 50 billion or more. They said those banks are too big to fail. They must be regular. Now too big to fail is bigger. 250 billion, five times that size, is now the too big to fail threshold which means that a lot of Smaller Banks are going to have a lot fewer regulations. This does not repeal doddfrank but it does rollback a lot of important regulations and it is the rare measure that very easily cleared the senate and the house. Bret. Bret peter doocy live on the hill. Thank you. Not a full dismantle of doddfrank but a big win for the administration. Voters are going to the polls in texas, arkansas, kentucky, georgia. Corresponded Jonathan Serries in gainesville, georgia, right now with an intense battle among republicans buying for spot on the gubernatorial ticket there. Good evening, jonathan. Good evening, bret. I am at the casey cagle watch party. Lieutenant governor enjoys statewide name recognition but hes 1 of 5 g. O. P. Candidates in the primary. A july runoff appears increasingly likely in this race. The other statewide Office Holder in the republican race for governor, georgia secretary of state brian kemp. He gained National Attention with some provocative ads to show his support for the Second Amendment. Former Navy Seal Clay Tippins and former Army Ranger Hunter Hill have been touting their military expense and state senator Michael Williams earned praise and protest when he branded his campaign bus as a deportation bus. He says he did that to raise the issue of illegal immigration. For republicans in this primary, the strategy has been energizing the populist conservative base. In the democratic primary for georgia governor, two candidates with the same first name and similar platforms went into this race with some very different strategies. State representative stacey evans whose district is located in the atlanta suburb, trying to win back suburban moderates and workingclass voters who have left the Democratic Party in large numbers. Former state representative stacy abrams has been running a doortodoor campaign to attract new voters with leftleaning values. Yesterday abrams picked up the support of hillary clinton, who recorded a robo call for her. She has the endorsement of senators kamala harris, cory booker, and bernie sanders. Bret, tonight democrats are going to be watching tonights primary to see which of those two strategies resonates most with voters and then you will likely see that strategy in future campaigns going into the 2020 president ial election. For republicans, because of the sheer number of g. O. P. Contenders, this race may not be decided tonight. Analysts say the campaign for a Runoff Election for the g. O. P. Could be both nasty and very expensive. Bret. Bret Jonathan Serrie live in gainesville, georgia, tonight. Thank you.

There have been two new small explosive eruptions at the summit of kilauea volcano on hawaiis big island. Scientists report near continuous low level ash emissions and dangers from that on the lava, behind a new push for evacuations. Jeff paul is in hawaii tonight. I cant be anymore frank. Its time to get out. It is probably past time to get out. Dire warning for some residents on the eastern side hawaiis big island, as lava flows are moving faster come across one major roadway and threatening others. The county is doing everything they can to get the last few holdouts in that area evacuated as quickly as possibl possible. The situation could turn precarious really fast. Not too long ago, you could drive down this highly but you can see its covered with lava that is still hot and putting out flames. If you were on the other side of this pile of lava, you would need an early left. There are growing concerns lava could soon reach a nearby geothermal plant. It has seeped onto the edge of the property, sparking fears of a possible explosion and release of toxic steam. The plant is far from the summit, but its close to an active feature in the rift zone. Crews have removed 50,000 gallons of flammable liquid and are in the process of quenching the wells with cold water. Its not easy to predict where its going to go and when its going to get there. Lava hayes is a factor. Lava is hitting the ocean, creating corrosive plumes that contain acid and tiny pieces of glass. Residents saying what is scaring the most, not knowing whats next. This yoyo effect of bad, bad and then its better. We are rolling with the punches but you never know whats happening. Hawaii National Guard is prepping its fleet of helicopters for rescue missions in the event people become stranded. Guard members are on standby, as lava flows increase in speed and in size. Bret.

Thats because the sentence is used are described congressional reapportionment. Alabama says the 2020 census numbers will cause them to lose a congressional seat to a state with a Larger Population of illegal immigrants. One california lawmaker wants taxpayers to provide Free Health Care to illegal immigrants. Critics say it will create a wave of undocumented workers from other states. Supporters say its just the right thing to do. Play fair and balanced low, chief correspondent Jonathan Hunt look at both sides from los angeles. Getting welfare benefits. You are Free Health Care coverage. Battle lines being drawn in the latest front in the ongoing immigration fight in california. Some states politicians push Free Health Care coverage for undocumented immigrants. Others, including Orange County supervisor michelle steele, consider the idea a disaster that will make california even more of a magnet for illegal immigration. Is going to be utopia for illegal immigrants. Orange county board of supervisors is one of several local jurisdictions that have joined the Trump Administration in suing california over its socalled sanctuary state policy. The proposal to expand medicare was introduced by state senator ricardo lara who grew up without Health Care Coverage as the son of undocumented immigrants. It would make california the first state in the nation to offer Free Health Care to the undocumented. It would also be expensive. Costing about 3 billion. But the senator argues that in practice the state is already paying for health care through e. R. Visits, saying we are trying to address the fact that whether you like it or not, our undocumented Community Needs their care and we are paying for it anyway. If the bill makes it to governor jerry browns desk during this legislative session, he is required to sign or veto it by september 30. Five weeks before the midterm elections.

President will be on long island margie doc about gangs. The president has come under fire for referring to members of the notorious ms13 gang as animals, and you may remember some in the media at left out the ms13 ms13 referencing the original coverage. Correspondent bryan llenas tells us you will likely hear that description again. Over the last year, i. C. E. Raids targeting ms13 gang members have increased. In 2017, i. C. E. Arrested gang members nationwide, the highest total scene in nine years. It is all part of President Trumps initiative to defeat the broody brutally viog from el salvador. Estimating ms13 has 10,000 members in the u. S. Los angeles to virginia to long island. On wednesday, President Trump will host an ms13 roundtable on long island to discuss progress made and what more needs to be done. When the ms13 comes in, when the other gang members come into our country, i referred to them as animals. Guess what. I always will. It is trumps insistence on referring to ms13 gang members as animals that has outraged critics who believe he was calling all immigrants animals. Republican pete king of long island defends trump. The president is entirely on target. The only criticism i would make is that he is being unfair to animals. Animals dont kill and torture their own. On wednesday the white house. This sheriff doesnt agree with the president s rhetoric but he says the president support is making a difference and they need more of it. If i can get funding for my program so we can continue to go into middle schools where we are thwarting gang recruitment. Fighting ms13 poses big risks.

Bret President Trump and a secretary of state talking about the timing and possibility that that june 12 summit in singapore does move forward with north korea. Seems less likely tonight than i did yesterday. Here are the actions North Koreans have taken since the announcement of that summit. They invited journalists to a closing of a nuclear site. Canceled south korean talks over military drills with the u. S. Threatened to cancel the u. S. Tax june 12 over those drills. Rejected unilateral denuclearization and demanded south korea returned 12 defectors. The south Korean National security advisor told the press there we believe there is a 99. 9 chance the north koreau. S. Summit will be held as scheduled, but we are just preparing for many different possibilities. Lets bring in the panel. Byron york, chief Political Correspondent of the washington examiner. Charles lane, opinion writer for the washington post. Kimberley strassel, member of the Editorial Board at the wall street journal. Kimberly, your thoughts on the prospects and what you heard today. I think bret are you still there . There you go. Kimberly. Chuck, go ahead. Bret, i was a little confused. I think just by that and also by what the president and various other people were saying about this meeting. Seemed a week or so ago like this was a done deal. Then you have the president saying theres a very substantial chance it wont happen. Contradicted by the south koreans, sort of contradicted by mike pompeo. Hard to tell what he was talking about. He made an allusion to the fact that xi jinping of china had met with kim jong il and then that since then, north korea seems to have hardened its stance. Seemed a little annoyed with xi jinping but frankly i am not sure why, even if it were true that the meeting was in jeopardy, im not sure why he would sort of casually just drop it in a conversation like that. Makes it seem like it doesnt even he doesnt even really know whats going on in his own foreign policy. There is obviously something going on here. Bret we are trying to figure out what is going on with kimberleys camera. Well come back to her. Byron, your thoughts on the announcement today and this summit in the wings. Kind of seemed like the president was the executive producer of this. Tune in june 12 for the exciting conclusion. Will they meet . I do think that anybody nobody wouldve said going in there there would be this smooth path. I think everybody was offering caveats when the president first said this, announce this meetin meeting. That you can trust with the North Koreans say. May be playing the whole thing, all gamesmanship. We should expect a bumpy road. I think its going to happen but i would expect a bumpy road and many more threats between now and june 12. Bret here is President Trump on helping north korea, really kind of selling the prospects of a potential deal today. I will guarantee his safety, yes. Will guarantee his safety and we have talked about that from the beginning. He will be safe. He will be happy. His country will be rich. His country will be hardworking and very prosperous. South korea, china, and japan. I have spoken to all three. They will be willing to help and i believe invest very, very large sums of money into helping to make north korea great. Bret what is kim jong un thinking about. We are trying to figure out kimberleys camera. We have her audio. Kimberley, your thoughts and what the president said today in the thinking of kim jong un. Whenever you have one of the worst actors in the world, like north korean dictator kim jong un, come out and saying that you fundamentally object to the very president s of john bolton in the white house, it suggests that they know they are up against some tough customers. Thats one of the important things out of this today. There are a lot of people worried President Trump would let the whole argument about a Nobel Peace Prize go to his head, that he would be willing to sit down under any circumstances and do any deals. And then end up in the same situation of the Clinton Administration and the george w. Bush administration which cut deals that didnt last. I think his willingness to say we are going to do a deal but only on my terms and the summit will only happen under a certain scenario is a very good sign that those in the administration understand how kim jong un operates and the risk here of going into the summit without some groundwork having been lai laid. Bret okay. We have laid the groundwork for your camera. We are back in business. Byron, listen to this sound bite about the president talking about how china factors into this and what may have happened with a meeting between president xi and kim jong un. President xi is a worldclass poker player. There was a different attitude by the north korean folks when after that meeting. So i dont think it was a great meeting. Nobody knew about the meeting. All of a saturn that was reported that he was in china second time. First time, everybody knew about. Second time it was like a surprise. And i think things changed after that meeting. So i cant say that im happy about it. Bret didnt like it, byron. Is amazing how open the president is in talking about i. I really didnt like that. That rubbed me the wrong way. It is part of this build up we were talking about. This is a really kind of odd event when the president is saying that he can guarantee the safety of the other leader at the summit . That sounded kind of like a godfather thing. It like a summit of the families. Everything about this summit is rather odd, and i think in the sound bite you just played, the president is, as kim was saying, kind of coming back to earth on this. Not talking about the nobel prize in talking about all the various roadblocks that exist before he can get there. Bret all right. Next up, republicans want a Second Special counsel. President trump wants some answers. We will look into the investigation of the investigation next. Up anncr thankfully, prevagen helps your brain and improves memory. Dads got all the answers. Anncr prevagen is now the numberoneselling brain Health Supplement in drug stores nationwide. She outsmarts me every single time. Checkmate you wanna play again . Anncr prevagen. Healthier brain.

Com if they had spies in my campaign, during my campaign for political purposes, that would be unprecedented in the history of our country. That would be one of the biggest insults that anyone has ever seen and it would be very illegal. We want to make sure that there werent. I hope there werent, frankly. Bret the president today talking about the investigation into the investigators in this informant, spy, whatever you want to call it in the reports of it in 2016. Back with the panel. Kimberley, you followed this closely. Where is it going . Most recently we have the president have a sit down obviously with Deputy Attorney general Rod Rosenstein and fbi director Christopher Wray and say look, you need to cooperate with congressional investigators. Get these documents out so we can see the truth about this informant or whether there were any more. Look, i think theres a lot of people even in Congress Still skeptical they are going to get to see the documents. So far the department of justice has only wanted to brief them to keep a tight hold over it, and thats going to be the proof of whether or not the president s message gets through. Are they allowed to review the material themselves rather than just go on the word of the department of justice officials . Bret lawmakers weighing in on this whole back and forth and you can imagine that where they stand politically is kind of where they stand on this effort. Extraordinarily troubling if this white house is trying to force our Law Enforcement and intelligence communities to divulge classified information for partisan reasons. If such a meeting occurs, and i dont believe it should, but if it occurs, it must be bipartisan. It is scheduled to take place on thursday of this week. The individuals that are expected to intend our chairman nunes, chairman gowdy, fbi director wray, dan coats, and ed ocallaghan. Bret meeting on thursday orchestrated by the white house chief of staff but thats the group thats going to be there thursday. Ideally they think to get their classified materials. I have to say i think Chuck Schumer has a point. If this is about congressional access to these vital materials, why shouldnt it be bipartisan . The democratic Ranking Member of that committee is cleared as well. Especially if you dont want to create the impression that this is partisanship in the other direction. That there is a real principle at stake here. This is a very, very uncharted area. The idea of the independence of the intelligence and Law Enforcement communities is not written in the constitution. Its kind of a norm thats been established since watergate really. Fairly recently in our history. Its being tested right now. We are going to find out whether it can withstand this hyperpartisan atmosphere we are in and the obvious fury of a president who comes from outside the system and outside that history. His belief that this machinery got turned against him. Its not entirely clear to me that it was being turned against him, at least not in extremely powerful or vicious ways. The way he is describing it. Sounds like this halper guy was trying to keep tabs on carter page late in the summer. Thats not exactly embedding a spy in the campaign. Bret what i say about both sides of the investigation every time on the panel is we dont know what we dont know. Byron. The Intelligence Community and what chuck was talking about, they not only have to worry about the president s wrath or the partisan situation on capitol hill. They also have to worry about their own actions. This was an election in which the fbi had both Major Party Candidates under investigation. Maybe they have been too involved in politics and maybe this is what happens when you get too involved in politics. As far as the meeting is concerned, we will see what happens. Republicans have gotten very wary of the sort of things by unhappy experience in which they think that the Justice Department is going to turn something over and then they show up in the room and the Justice Department just wants to talk about turning something over. But in the end, especially if they the support not just of the present but especially House Speaker paul ryan, if they have that support, they are probably going to get what theyre looking for. Bret last word, kimberley. Wrap it up as we will follow each of these developments as they come. I think one problem with those who criticize this oversight by the house as they begin from the premise that the investigators are beyond reproach or beyond being looked at. Given what is out there already about the fisa abuses, use of a dossier as part of the fisa warrant, who paid for it, the rival campaign, the text back and forth between fbi agents, theres a lot of average americans they dont trust those investigators. Thats whats driving this look into it, the department of justice would do well to get it out there. Bret we will have many more panels, something tells me, about this topic. Thank you.
