Security, climate change. A family that is threatening to turn against one of its own. The u. S. What President Trump might need right now is a friend, so who does it appear hes reaching out to . Who do you think . G7, which used to be the g8. They threw russia out. They should let russia come back in. Because we should have russia at the negotiating table. That was just the beginning of an avalanche of news the president made before heading to canada this morning. There was this on his preparations for the north korea summit. I said ive been preparing all my life. I always believe in preparation. But ive been preparing all my life. On leakers after a Senate Intel Staffer was arrested last night in connection with a leak investigation, though to be clear, he was arrested for lying to the fbi. Not for leaking. Im a big, big believer in freedom of the press. But im also a believer in classified information. Has to remain classified. That includes comey and his band of thieves who leaked
Classified material. And north korean defection . A top north korean diplomat and his wife have reportedly disappeared from the streets of rome. Could they have been kidnapped by kim jonguns regime and brought back home . Or did they defect and seek asylum in the west . Im wolf blitzer. Youre in the situation room. Breaking news. President trumps world just changed dramatically. The new congress has been sworn in and democrats are now in being chast house. Nancy pelosi is the new speaker, the first in more than half a century to reclaim the gavel after losing power. House democrats are prepared to use their new power to launch investigations of the president and his administration and its an open discussion about whether a sitting president can be indicted. Democrats are already pushing legislation to reopen parts of the government that have been shut down for nearly two weeks. The package contains no new funding for the president s border wall.

Rosenstein. Exactly. A source saying he is not being forced out. As you mentioned, this will have huge implications for the probe probe. This is the Deputy Attorney general who appointed the special counsel, who oversaw the russia probe and who granted Broad Authority to Robert Mueller. He is now set to leave the Justice Department as soon as the next attorney general is confirmed. That will likely be medical february mid february at the earliest.

He previously signalled that he would leave the Justice Department when he was satisfied that muellers report was complete or close enough to complete that he was protected. This may be a sign that muellers probe could wrap up in february or march.

Two sources tell cnn that when President Trump entered the room, he launched into a 15min

Two sources tell cnn that when President Trump entered the room, he launched into a 15minuteplus rant, which the wall street journal describes as profanitylaced, telling congressional leaders he wont settle for less than 5. 6 billion for the wall. He wont negotiate, and he doesnt care if it takes years. The president admitted as much in the rose garden later. I did say that. Absolutely i said that. I dont think it will, but i am prepared, and i think i can speak for republicans in the house and republicans in the senate. Im going to go out on a limb here and guess that most people in congress, republicans and democrats, would not be prepared to see the shutdown last for years. Most persons too, right .
