Inner circle. A mere 24 days into the new administration the president s Embattled National security adviser Michael Flynn has resigned over his communication with a russian diplomat before his official appointment. Abcs Stephanie Ramos joins us now from washington, d. C. Where its never a dull moment at least in the last three weeks. Good morning, stephanie. Reporter not at all, good morning, kendis and diane. There is scandal like drama coming out of the white house. In one day general Michael Flynn received support from the white house, then it said that the president is evaluating flynns situation and then comes flynns resignation over his possible breach of the law. General Michael Flynn was one of the first to endorse President Donald Trump. He was one of the president s first appointments after the election. But now the National Security adviser is the first to go, less than a month on the job. He faced mounting questions over a phone call he had with the Russian Ambassador discussing u. S. Sanctions place by the Obama Administration for suspected meddling in the 2016 election. Before trump even took office. Flynn said, he didnt. Vice president mike pence then said the same. What i can confirm having spoken to him about it is that those conversations that happened to occur around the time that the United States took action to expel diplomats had nothing whatsoever to do with those sanctions. Reporter but multiple sources tell abc news the topic of sanctions did come up and the fbi and the department of justice acting attorney general sally yates who was fired for trying to block trumps immigration order sent a warning to the white house concerned that a highlevel official caught in a public lie could be subject to blackmail. Despite calls for his firing from democrats, trumps counselor Kellyanne Conway showed white house support for flynn. General flynn does enjoy the full confidence of the president. Reporter hours later flynn was out. In his writing, unfortunately, because of the fast pace of events i inadvertently briefed the Vice President elect and others with incomplete information regarding my phone calls with the Russian Ambassador. Flynn also says in that letter that he apologized to the president and Vice President. Now, kendis and diane, among those being considered to replace flynn are retired general David Petraeus and retired vice admiral robert harwood. Kendis, diane, over to you. Petraeus being a controversial figure will be at the white house later today, stephanie, thank you. The federal judge who President Trump referred to as a socalled judge, well, hes now dealt the president another legal setback. Judge james robart ruled the executive order will go forward and denied a request in the process by the Justice Department to delay proceedings until a Higher Appeals Court decides to rehear it President Trump hinted he may be working on a brandnew executive order this week. Immigration and refugees among the topics in which President Trump and canadian Prime MinisterJustin Trudeau did not agree on but during his first visit to the white house since the president has taken office, trudeau carefully walked a delicate diplomatic line. We continue to pursue our policies of openness towards immigration, refugees without compromising security. The last thing canadians expect is for me to come down and lecture another country on how they choose to govern themselves. So one of the other sensitive issues between the two World Leaders was trade. The president did say, however, he is looking at tweaking portions of the north American Free trade agreement or nafta that affect trade between the u. S. And canada. Today former Goldman Sachs banker Steve Mnuchin begins his first full day as treasury being confirmed by the senate that went more or less along party lines.

There were people walking and people talking and all night long. Were kind of on the safe side. We wont go back until they tell us its safe. Its hard to understand how people have been able to evacuate so quickly and the disturbance to their lives and joust know that chair government and their representatives are doing everything they can.
