Late today, we heard from the president himself, suggesting a possible brand new executive hor order as early as monday. Heres cecilia vega. Reporter the president today alongside one of americas strongest allies, extending a big welcome to japans Prime Minister. On behalf of the American People, i welcome you to the very famous white house. Reporter but at their joint press conference, the big question for President Trump. Whats next after that ruling the threejudge panel refusing to reinstate his controversial travel ban. The president promising to continue fighting in the courts. And ultimately i have no doubt that well win that particular case. Reporter but he is also making it clear hes not waiting on the courts. Well be doing something very rapidly, having to do with additional security for our country. Youll be seeing that sometime next week. Reporter later on air force one, the president telling reporters we have a lot of other options, including just filing a brand new order. Reporter a white house source tells abc news, thats exactly what the administration is working on right now. An order related to terror that addresses some of the concerns raised by the court. The white house also keenly aware that the president s own past statements could be used against him in the court battle over the travel ban. Comments like these. Donald j. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the United States until our countrys representatives can figure out what the hell is going on.

In the oval office, a very long handshake with the japanese Prime Minister, who will spend the weekend with the trumps at their winter white house, maralago. Cecilia, there are breaking developments tonight from the Appellate Court that had ruled against the president. Reporter a big surprise tonight. A judge has requested that the full court, not just the three that weighed in yesterday, but the full court weigh in on whether that ruling should be considered. This means the ruling may not be final. All right, thank you. And as they plan their next move, the white house dealing with new questions about contact between President Trumps National Security advisor and the russian bambassador. At first, general flynn deniied reports he had any discussions, but tonight, a change in the story. Heres jonathan karl. Reporter under fire tonight, the president s National Security advisor michael flynn, now accused of misleading the public and even the Vice President about his conversations with the Russian Ambassador to the United States. The story, first reported by the Washington Post and confirmed by abc news, on the very day in december that president obama imposed sanctions on russia for meddling in the election, flynn told the Russian Ambassador the Incoming Trump administration would review those sanctions. That directly contradicts what Vice President pence said last month. 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 and not just the vp. Press Secretary Sean Spicer portrayed flynns call with the ambassador as about nothing more than setting up a later call between Vladimir Putin and donald trump. The call centered around the logistics of setting up a call with the president of russia and the president elect after he was sworn in. That was it, plain and simple. Reporter a spokesperson for flynn, who famously dined with Vladimir Putin in moscow two years ago and has been criticized for his close ties to the russian government, now says the National Security advisor simply cannot remember whether he discussed sanctions. A switch from his earlier denials. These developments come on a day President Trump emphasized diplomacy, touting a phone call he had yesterday with the president of china. I had a very, very good conversation, as most of you know, yesterday with the president of china. It was a very, very warm conversation. I think we are on the process of getting along very well. Reporter throughout the campaign, trump portrayed china as one of americas biggest economic rivals. After the election, he angered china by accepting a phone call with the president of taiwan. He even suggested doing away with the longstanding onechina policy, which considers taiwan part of china. I fully understand the onechina policy. But i dont know why we have to be bound by a onechina policy unless we make a deal with china. Reporter but in his phone call with the chinese president , trump offered a big concession, saying he will honor the onechina policy. Jon, late tonight, President Trump was asked about general flynns calls with the Russian Ambassador. What did we learn . Reporter the president told reporters that he had not seen the reports about flynns conversations, but that he would look into it. This is a potentially very serious matter. The fbi is investigating whether or not whether these contacts with the Russian Ambassador violated the law. Thank you.

A mother of two children brought to the country when she was 14. Reporter the the right people being deported. They were picked up, subject to removal. There are court orders about removing some of these people. Some have fought removal for years and years.
