Yasmin vossoughian and Louis Burgdorf. Jeff sessions will go before the senate for questions about his contacts with russian officials, what role he played in the firing of james comey and to respond to former fbi directors claims about him. A spokeswoman said, quote, he believes it is important for the American People to hear the truth directly from him. Though the senate has been known for its collegial atmosphere, the last Time Sessions was before his colleagues for confirmation, things turned controversial. Today is to come with pointed questions, particularly over his meetings with sergei kiy kislya. Yesterday senator al franken discussed how it may have been discovered. For seven weeks after he gave this false testimony, he didnt correct it. Didnt correct it until the Washington Post actually said that he had met with kislyak a couple times. We asked specifically about this meeting at the mayflower and other meetings, too, in a priftd letter to the director that weave now made public. Hell explain whether this third meeting was an actual meeting. Theyve intercepted some contacts within kislyak and his people. Kislyak may have been exaggerating the meeting. You know, because he wanted to look important. Well, thats understandable. I met with Jeff Sessions oh, youre an important ambassador. In june a department of justice spokesperson said sessions did not have any private or side considerations with any russian officials at the Mayflower Hotel. As for a failure to disclose other meetings, doj says he did not have to disclose meetings with foreign ambassadors that took place during his time in the senate. Sessions will also likely be asked about what happened after an Oval Office Meeting on february 14th. Comey testified last week the president cleared all of the other highlevel officials out of the room. At the end of their discussion, except for Jeff Sessions. My impression is Something Big is about to happen. I needed to remember every single word spoken. My sense is the attorney general knew he shouldnt be leaving, which is why he was lingering. I dont know mr. Kushner well but i think he picked up on the same thing. A really significant fact to me is, so why did he kick everyone out of the oval office . Why would you kick the attorney general, the president , the chief of staff, out to talk to me if it was about Something Else . So, that that, to me, as an investigator, is a very significant fact. Now, after that comey said he asked the sessions not to let the president talk to him again. Sessions did not reply. The attorney general recused himself but in the wake of frequently changing narrative they want to know what role sessions played with the up in coming fbi director who was leading the investigation. One of president s confidantes questioned how long the president would keep Robert Mueller. I think hes considering, perhaps, terminating the special counsel. I think hes weighing that option. I think its pretty clear by what one of his lawyers said on television recently. I personally think it would be a very significant mistake even though i dont think theres a justification and even though a justification for . For special counsel in this case. And Christopher Ruddy told fox, while im not claiming the president said it to me, im confident of my sourcing hes considering as an option. The president was reportedly postponed and sean spicer didnt deny the claim. He later told nbc news that mr. Ruddy never spoke to the president regarding this issue with respect to the subject only the president or his attorneys are authorized to comment. Ruddy was not only was not the only trump ally to question the merits of the special counsel. Take a listen. But i think that what republicans ought to focus on is closing down the independence counsel because hes not independe independent. Hes apparently very close to comey. We know comey hates trump. Have you to assume that leaks over to mueller. You have to assume the people mullers going to bring in are essentially Justice Department people who were 331 in favor of clinton over trump. This clearly cannot be an honest, independent investigation. But political observers were quick to notice change of heart from Newt Gingrich who twoetd when mueller was appointed he, quote, is a superintendent esh choice to be special counsel. Media should now calm down. Then yesterday gingrich tweeted, republicans are delusional if they think the special counsel is going to be fair. Look who he is hiring. Check reports. Comey admitted to set up special counsel. Comey and mueller are close. Number three, mueller is hiring partisans. Ranking house intel member adam schiff tweeted, if president fired bob mueller, congress would immediately reestablish special counsel and reappointed bob mueller. Dont waste our time. Its not see how republicans could see that clue. Adam schiff joins morning joe around 7 00 a. M. President trump has been dealt anoth lal blow. A panel of three judges from ninth Circuit Court of appeals unanimously upheld an earlier decision by judge from hawaii. The judges argued the president exceeded scope of authority delegated to him by congress. They also disputed the president s claim that there werent adequate safeguards to keep terrorists out of the United States. In making their decision the judges cited President Trumps tweets, we need a travel ban for certain dangerous countries, and sean spicer considers them official statements by the president. President trump met with his entire cabinet for the first time yesterday at the white house. The president used the meeting to taut the administrations accomplishments so far. Calling himself one of the most productive president s in u. S. History. I will say that never has there been a president with few exceptions, case of fdr, he had a major depression to end, whos passed more legislation, whos done as many things as weve done. I think you can be as active as you can possibly be at just about a recordsetting pace. The president asked each member of the cabinet for a statement. One by one they went around the table. Many of them taking the opportunity to praise their boss. Great es prif est privilege e is to serve as Vice President to a president whos keeping his word to the American People. Assembling a team to bring about real change. What an incredible honor to serve the department of health and Human Services under your leadership. I cant thank you enough for the privilege youve shown. Mr. President , its a great privilege youve given me. Thank you for the opportunity to help fix the trade deficit and other things. I want to thank you for getting this country moving again. And also working again. Thank you, mr. President , it was a great honor traveling around the country with you for the last year and even greater honor to serve in your cabinet. On behalf of the entire senior staff around you, mr. President , we thank you for the opportunity and the blessing youve given us to serve your agenda and the American People. Were continuing to work very hard every day to accomplish those goals. At least one cabinet member, secretary of defense jim mattis, refrained from personally praising the president. Mr. President , its an honor to represent the men and women of the department of defense and were grateful for the sacrifices our people are making in order to strengthen our military. Always negotiate from a position of strength. Thank you. Thank you. According to the new york times, secretary mattis has increasingly worked to stay out of the political fray and sought to avoid situations that might put him on the spot, like suggestions from white house aides he go on foxs morning show. Meanwhile, Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer was quick to parody President Trumps cabinet meeting, releasing a video on twitter, mocking the meeting. I want to thank everybody for coming. I just thought wed go around the room. Lose y how did we do on the sunday show yesterday . Your tone was perfect. You were right on message. Michelle, how did my hair look coming out of the gym this morning . You have great hair. Nobody has better hair than you. Before we go any further, i just want to say thank you for the opportunity and blessing to serve your agenda. Okay.

Im Yasmin Vossoughian alongside Ayman Mohyeldin and Louis Burgdorf. Lets start with the mornings top stories. Comedian bill cosbys fate is now in the hands of the jury as deliberations in his Sexual Assault trial are set to begin this morning. Cosbys defense team rested their case after just six minutes. After calling one witness, jurors deliberated for four hours yesterday before going home for the night. Cosby has denied the allegations he drugged and molested a woman in his home in 2004. A federal court handed another legal loss to President Trump in the ongoing battle over his revised travel ban. A panel of three judges from the ninth Circuit Court of appeals unanimously upheld an earlier decision by a judge in hawaii to block the government from enforcing the executive order. The judges argued the president exceeded the scope of the authority delegated to him by congress with the ban. And the future of the special Counsel Robert Mueller and his probe into russias role in the election has come into question following comments by one of President Trumps allies. Christopher ruddy who was although the white house just yesterday said mr. Trump was, quote, considering, perhaps, terminating special counsel. Ruddy later told fox, quote, while im not claiming the president said it to me, im confident of my sourcing. He is definitely considering it as an option. Jeff sessions returns to capitol hill facing questions over everything from the firing of james comey to undisclosed contacts with russia with the Russian Ambassador in the heat of the campaign. Today is expected to come with pointed questions, particularly over his undeclared meetings with that Russian Ambassador, sergey kislyak. There is undiscovered third meeting at Mayflower Hotel during the campaign in april. They say sessions did not have any private or side considerations with russian officials. Sessions will also likely be asked about what happened after an Oval Office Meeting back on february 14th. If you recall, comey testified last week that at that meeting the president cleared all of the other highlevel officials at the end of that discussion, except for him. Heres what comey said about whether it was appropriate for sessions to play a role in his firing. Hats a qstion i cant answer. I think its a reasoble question. If as the president said i was fired because of the Russian Investigation, why was the attorney involved in that chain . I dont know. So, i dont have an answer for the question. Joining us now from washington, White House Correspondent for the hill jordan fabian. Great to have you with us. A lot of eyes watching capitol hill. People to pay the closest attention today are going to be republicans on the Senate Intel Committee. Why do you think that is . Well, thanks for having me on. Its going to be interesting to see how hard they go after sessions on these two key questions. His contacts with russian officials that were previously undisclosed and his role in President Trumps firing of james comey. Will the republican senators really put him under the gun or are they going to be defending him in this hearing . Thats what well have to wait and see. The Bigger Picture here is yet again, last week we had comey week. This week well have sessions day. This is a question, in this Russian Investigation and the way its ensnaring Top Trump Administration officials, its going to be a continued headache for the white house. This is a week where theyre trying to focus on jobs and the economy, the president traveling to wisconsin. But all eyes will be on sessions. Any thoughts sessions could invoke executive privilege . He could invoke executive privilege on parts of his testimony, those regarding his conversations with President Trump. That could apply to some of the questions surrounding whether he, you know, what did did nings that violated the recusal. On questions with his contacts with russian officials, wont be able to invoke prif vilege on tt so he will be likely compelled to answer those questions. I know there was a lot of attention made by republican senators over what they saw or what they described as treatment of shabby treatment, i should say, of Jeff Sessions back during his confirmation. Do you get a sense that even they are beginning to kind of lose some patience over the continued headlines involving him and russia that are consistently dogging him . Its a tough question. Look, you know, the senates a closeknit club, especially some of the gop senators today i think are going to be defending senator sessions one way or another during this hearing. But another thing the senators dont like, its being misled, especially during a confirmation hearing. Thats when attorney general sessions said that he didnt have any of these meetings. Theyre going to want to know the answers to that. There will be many members of the Intelligence Committee today who will be pressing him hard for answers. Jordan, weve been talking today about this claim of the president possibly thinking about firing bob mueller. Can we believe theyre going to ask sessions about this, especially considering sessions is very much integral in that decision, along with Rod Rosenstein, who were part of the firing of comey . Absolutely hell be asked about it. The Deputy Attorney general Rod Rosenstein is in charge of the russia investigation. Under the current regulations, he would be the one to have to fire Robert Mueller if the president decided to do that, or the president could decide to go around him. That being said, you know, the attorney general is still at the head of the Justice Department. Hes going to have to answer if asked whether he things thats a good idea or what kind of procedures would need to happen to make that happen. Needless to say its going to be another busy day on capitol hill. Jordan fabian live for us in washington, thank you. The u. S. Secret service says they do not have any audio copy of transcript of any tapes regarded within president Donald Trumps white house. The agency disclosed this information. In response to freedom of information request made by the wall street journal, the secret service maintained Previous White House recording systems for past president s, including Richard Nixon and john f. Kennedy. However they noted its possible other entities could have made recordings. The white house has refused to clarify if any tapes exist after President Trump suggested his private considerations with fbi director james comey were recorded. On friday trump said he would tell people about the alleged recordings, quote, over a very short period of time. Sean spicer sidestepped their existence yesterday. Does President Trump have audio recordings of his conversations and meetings with former fbi director james comey . The president made clear in the rose garden he would have an announcement. Any idea when that timeline would be . When the president is ready to make it. What is he waiting for . I think the president made it very clear on friday that he would get back as soon as possible on this and his position on that conversation. So what is he waiting for . Whats the delay . Hes not waiting for anything. When hes ready to further discuss it, he will. He laid out his position very clearly, concisely on friday. Staying in washington, new reporting says Senate Republicans hope to vote on a Health Care Bill by july but we shouldnt see the draft legislation any time soon. The gop has no plans to publicly release it. In the words of the senator of one senior republican aide, i should say, we arent stupid. Its currently being worked on behind closed doors and would still need a cbo score before members vote on it. The house version of the bill was deeply unpopular and projected to leaf about 23 million americans more uninsured. The president and Vice President are expected to meet with republican senators today to discuss the status of repealing and replacing obamacare. The attorney general of maryland and washington, d. C. Formally announced their lawsuit against President Trump saying he violated the anticorruption clauses in the constitution. The officials unveiled the suit yesterday saying the president has failed to completely separate himself from his vast business empire, which they claim undermines public trust. The suit claims the president is in violation of the foreign emoluments clause, which prohibits the president from accepting payments from foreign governments without the consent of congress, citing the president s luxury hotel in washington, d. C. , numerous golf courses and rerts and hundreds of thousands of dollars paid by countries, including saudi arabia and qatar for property in trumpowned buildings. The attorneys general say they plan to ask for the president s financial and tax records as part of the suit. Theyll discuss their lawsuit coming up on morning joe. Lets turn to business where tech stocks is dragging down all three indexes. Were joined live from london with with more. Good morning. Good morning. Tech stocks and overall markets were down once again yesterday. Yes, the nasdaq saw its worst twoday fall since december. That said, the declines were quite limited. The nasdaq was only down by half of 1 . That tells you maybe this was the end of that big selloff we saw over the last two trading days. Maybe this is a very healthy correction because a lot of analysts tell us while valuations for some big tech names were very, very high leading up to this crash. I want to talk about uber. The firings at the ridesharing app that continued yesterday with the departure of michael, the right hand of the ceo. Hes been crucial in fundraising and also in the push when it comes to selfdriving cars. The big question, guys, still out there is whether the ceo himself will step aside for a couple months as he had been requesting. Maybe we get more details and answers when we get eric holders recommendations. Those will be released to 14,000 uber employees today. Finally, want to talk about retail.

It would ban the president from deleting the post, as he has done sometimes in the past. The white house has not issued a response to that move.
