what he can discuss? well, certainly in open session he has the classification problem. you probably do have and director comey even in these circumstances has to respect the office of the president. i think there will be some limits but at the end of this, john, we ll know more about this relationship than we did going to in. comey is well-known for taking contemporaneous notes, an inveterate note taker. that s his version of events, just as he remembers it or how he wanted to preserve it. so how much stock will investigators put in those notes? well, alisyn to be perfectly candid as a legal matter, contemporaneous notes give you more throw weight than your memory and second i have to be candid. the president s relationship with the truth has been strained at times and so i think there
disappointed that president trump did not carry through on his often stated promise that he s going to tear up the iran agreement on his first day in office. he s obviously recognized that doesn t make any sense, and we re going forward with the agreement, but they ll swallow that, because they like the anti-iran rhetoric that he engages in, and the lack of any interest in a rapprochement or better relations with iran. at the same time, it s very clear from the election in iran that the vast majority of people there want good relations with the united states, and the west. and that s where we should be pushing, i think. senator george mitchell, thank you for all of your expertise and sharing it with us on new day this morning. thank you. john? as we speak, the president visiting some of the holiest sites on earth. right now he is inside the church of the holy sepulchre. of course, the site where jesus was crucified. shortly he ll visit the western wall. what message does this
relieved pressure on the president. start with the appropriateness of such things. john on so many levels that would be inappropriate. you should not talk about your own government, your over governance with a foreign official that way, and i certainly wouldn t trash talk about a former director of the fbi in the front of a foreign official like lavrov, and kislyak. isn t it amazing the contrast between how carefully crafted the last two days have been in saudi arabia and in jerusalem, compared to that absolutely horrific meeting last week with the russians in the oval office on practically every level. general, as you know, he also reportedly divulged classified, sensitive information to those russians. what do you think about that? where does that go? look at the line-up. the fact of the meeting was
proportionate. iran must never be allowed to possess a nuclear weapon, must cease its funding and training of terrorists and militias. if there s one message, one thread of the president s advisity so far, whether it be to saudi arabia, his speech to the sunni leaders in this stop in israel, it is making iran the common enemy. john, you know, you re exactly right and this is the common denominator the president is trying to find with the arab states and with israel. it s ironic, because he really dug into that line about iran never getting a nuclear weapon. the nuclear agreement reached by president obama is exactly that, and it s an agreement that president trump has maligned but it does more than anything we ve been able to do to put far into the future of prospect of iran getting enough materiel for a nuclear weapon. everyone is united around that principle and there s a lot to be done to push back against iran s objectionable activities,
