Closed door session at the white house. The president hosting fbi director Christopher Rae and Rod Rosenstein. One day after President Trump tweeted his hereby demand that the department of justice investigate whether their campaign was infiltrated for political purposes. He can make whatever demands he wants. The most thing is to see how the Justice Department responds. I think both rosenstein and ray responded the right way. The president s behavior is the kind of grossly autocratic behavior wed expect in a baa ma in a republic. Can the summit with kim jongun be saved . Today the president is sitting down with the president of south korea. I dont think President Trump is thinking about public relations. Hes thinking about peace. It would be a great mistake for kim jongun to think he could play donald trump. The president not thinking about public relations. Wow.

Were following it all. Rudy giulianis eyepopping interview with cnn, as well as the president s memorial day weekend activities. Theyve been punctuated by tweets against his enemies and the special counsels investigation. This hour, ill speak with congressman ted lieu, a member of the judiciary and the Foreign Affairs committees and our correspondents and analysts are also standing by for us. First, i want to go to cnn senior white house correspondent, pamela browne. Pamela, the president was at Arlington National cemetery today, which is customary, but the russia investigation really never seemed to be far from his mind. Reporter thats right, brianna.
