And breaking overnight, a massive rollback of president obamas Climate Change initiatives. President trump set to sign the executive order in a few hours. One group is calling it the biggest attack on Climate Action in u. S. History. And supreme showdown, democrats signaling they will try to take it to the brink and filibuster kneel gorsuch. This will be the First Successful filibuster against a Supreme Court nominee in american history. He deserves a fair up or down vote. But we start today with the white house investigation sounding more and more like the backdrop to a cold war spy novel. I have a great panel with me to break it all down in just a few moments. First, lets break down all the new details that have come out on this story. The man in the middle, california, republican, devin nunez, currently leading the investigation into ties between russia and the trump campaign. On the evening of march 21st, last tuesday, we now know that he had a meeting at the white house, technical
So, what does this all mean more broadly, hallie . We were at the g7 summit and six of the seven leaders there committed to the Paris Agreement and, of course, President Trump was the one hold out. Highly controversial here back at home. We know that the president was sent a letter by more than 20 senators, republican senators saying that they, in fact, want him to pull out. But democrats and some here within the west wing disagree. Ivanka trump, his daughter, Jared Kushner trying to push him to stay in. And if you look at some of our very recent polling taken in april, 67 of americans say they want immediate action on Climate Change now. The president tweeting himself that he would be making the announcement some time this week. So, i think that nothing will be final until we hear from the president himself, but, haley, if he does, in fact, decide to pull out, highly controversial move, but, again, something that he campaigned on and something that his supporters want to see. Kristen,
Wars. I thought it was a spanish soft drink company. Its down now, if you can believe it. It was up for a good six hours, five hours. He posted at midnight. I think he fell asleep in the middle of it. And they took it down. Who tweets in bed, anybody . Well. Good morning everyone. Its wednesday, may 31st. With us we have nicholas come sorry, former aide to the george w. Bush white house elise jordan and New York Times reporter Michael Schmidt in washington. Schmidt knows everything. What did that mean. The president of the United States, the leader of the free world. I was trying to figure out if it was comey or not. Schmidt sees comey in everything. Where is the team that would catch a problem like a mistaken tweet where the president might what if he said something really uncouth or what if he said something really dangerous . Would it sit up there for five hours, nobody to protect him . At what point do you wake up the president to tell him about an awful thing thats happened or tel
How his outside council is trying to strategize around the comey testimony. Outside council, Marc Kasowitz theyre preparing to file a kplaicomplaint against j comey. Youre going to delve into this with pete. Does it hold water or merit. Was there a wrongdoing here . Theres no indication that comey leaked anything that was classified. Theres a question around that. To your point this is a point of a larger strategy. Were seeing the administration and president go back into campaign trail. His surrogates out on the air waves today. Kelly anenn ann kon conway. Jim comey, a career prosecutor, five years as the fbi director was so stunned that he had a one on one private conversation with the president of the United States he didnt know how to report this to the attorney general, the white House Counsel or the associated attorney general to say im concerned . Thats one of the talking points we might hear from President Trump when we talk to him a little later on today. Hes going to hold a j
The congressmans conduct is hardly appropriate for someone chairing an investigation of trump. He acted today more like a trump staffer. The surveillance story released today may, in fact, be a decoy from todays far bigger story. The Trump Campaign chair, Paul Manafort, was once paid 10 million a year from a friend of vladimir putin. Thats 10 million a year from putins buddy. Lets start with the news that the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, devin nunes, has access information, he says, that says donald trump or someon connected to him came up under u. S. Surveillance during someone else. According to nunes who was on President Trumps transition team, the brand new information he obtained alarmed him, he said. It was so alarming, he said he rushed to tell the president at the white house and then tell the press in two separate news conferences. Lets watch. What i saw has nothing to do with russia and nothing to do with the russian investigation. Has everything to do with p
