forward? so that s where there s one of the questions. the outside conservative groups have their own fund-raising bases, their own messaging. they don t have to live within these rules so they re putting a lot of pressure on this as well trying to see some change. it would be a three-step process. the first part as we ve discussed would be kind of the repeal and some new changes, then the administrative piece in the middle which would be the hhs secretary tom price, and then the third part would be sort of making additional changes that don t fall under the specific budget rules and so forth. it is asking people to have faith in the future. that s a big ask, but at the same time leaders here are telling us they can t do some of those things in the specific legislation as it stands now. so it is a bit of a leap of faith. we ll see how it goes, and there s certainly a lot of public pressure on all sides right now. kelly, i want to get your take on some other news nbc just learned. sen

political action committee to finance campaigns wasn t in the millions of dollars. overall, again it s a tricky political issue. i ll tell you what is interesting is that people criticize these situations in both directions. if i recommended jail time as a prosecutor some would say, oh, i m going out of my way to single out and get a notch on my belt, then if i don t they say i m going easy on a famous politician. it s a tricky issue. jenna: well, kelly let s take your take on this as well. there are a couple of things that evolved here that we wanted to add. it s been five years since the charges were actually brought, and in that time delay has remained a very public figure, he did a stint on dancing with the stars, he s maintained he s innocent. will that make a difference in what kind of sentence we see. absolutely, is he still involved in politics. is he still doing things that
matthew, and from honolulu, kelly o donnell. kelly let s start with you, you re there, the president there at the beginning of his 11-day trip to asia, what are you expecting to happen? to give you a bit of the trick diary, the president is right now headed to pearl harbor where he ll place a wreath and place his respects. the first lady of course traveling with lim. the president spoke earlier this evening when he talked about he d never been to pearl harbor, had read and studied about it so he s looking forward to this part of the trip. it is standard for the president when traveling to asia to stop in hawaii for a fuel stop. he s expanded it a bit to include time to pay his respects at pearl harbor but to also meet with specific of demand.
