As we celebrate world class [ athletes here in pyeongchang, its been a busy week back home in the white house. President trump criticized for his apparent defense of two of his aides who resigned amid Domestic Abuse allegations. President trump expressed support for former senior aide rob porter who his exwives explained abuse in detail. On saturday President Trump tweeted this, quote, peoples lives are being shattered sand destroyed by new allegation. Some are true and some are false. Some are old and some are new. He went on is there no such thing any longer as due process. Chuck todd is nbcs political director and moderate of meet the press. Chuck, walk us through this. There are reports that chief of staff john kelly knew about the alleged abuse in the fall. That the white House Counsel knew far before that. Donald trump saying he learned recently and made that decision. Came out and said porter says hes innocent. I have to remind you he says hes innocent. Is there a fallout because of this . Is there any chance that john kelly leaves the white house . Let me start with the john kelly part of the question. I think hes vulnerable here the president was getting impatient with john kelly, starting to call around and getting antsy about him, before this week. I think this week could be one of the final straws for john kelly. And it could simply mean that the president is just tired of john kelly. If you look at his pattern going back to the campaign. Three campaign managers. Hes on his second chief of staff. Basically the average tenure of being the president s right hand is about six to nine months and john kelly is on month seven. But the fact of the matter is, this does look like as if john kelly was afraid of losing somebody he thought was a competent employee. And its go difficult to get competent people to agree to work in that west wing, that they overlooked a lot of red flags about rob porter. Theres no question about it. Chuck, i have to say, being here in south korea, the relationship by north korea and the United States role, it hangs over everything. The sister of kim jongun here making an offer to the president for the meeting. You had the North Koreans marching with the yaunified fla. Theres a lot of skepticism here. What is President Trump thinking about . Well, i think Vice President pence has been his symbolic grimaces, i think, are there to show you what the president thinks. His decision not to stand for as the korean team came in. So, i think you do see ways that i think Vice President pence is trying to express their displeasure, i think with all of this. And not wanting to look like theyre at all seeming complimentary to the North Koreans. But i think one thing americans need to remember, south koreans have a different mindset about wanting unification some day. I think they always want to be hopeful. But i think all of us are a little more realistic here and realizing this is probably nothing more than a pr stunt by the North Koreans because the olympics are right in their back yard and the world is watching. And south korea saying weve seen this movie before as pop agendgan propaganda. Chuck will be joined by mark short and republican senator jeff flake of arizona an outspoken critic of President Trump. Headlines and breaking news out of russia where a passenger plane has crashed killing all 71 people on board. It went down near moscow after taking off that citys airport.
