and there you have it. the attorney general jeff sessions secretary of state rex tillerson and department of homeland security secretary john kelly leaving after announcing the new travel ban without taking questions from reporters. some substantial changes but essentially it remains travel ban similar in nature to the initial one that was issued on january 27th. i want to go right to the white house, chris jansing is standing by, having listened in with us. we ve got our whole team there, no norm, pete williams, and ari melber. chris, start with you. reporter: the most important thing that we didn t hear is what we heard on that call, they referenced a one-hour long call, emphasizing the fact they believe there is nothing wrong with the law that they put out, legally with the first travel ban. having said that they made these
administration says supports it. so i will tell you this. in many way this is is similar in bulk form to the original travel ban, but it has been done in a much more professional manner at least. norm, it also says that department of homeland security is meant to release information on the threat posed by immigrants every 180 days. every six months we re going to prove our point that immigration from these countries is dangerous. and so that opens up the door for yet another executive order with another travel ban or other things to take place. it may also be designed to counter at least a little bit the leaked story of homeland security document that said there was no reason to pick on these particular six countries. you know, one other thing about that rollout the comments by secretary kelly which didn t just talk about the order but defended the department of homeland security and the people in the immigration and customs
little bit light into the department of homeland security may not be completely on board to this. the fact that 12 days ago ap basically leaked a document saying that the homeland security had found that there was no significant threat by any of these seven countries listed demonstrates maybe they re not lock step and center with the administration but feel they have so because they have to enforce the laws. maria, thank you so much for that, norm, thank you as well. ari melber and pete williams and chris jansing for helping me out during this hour of msnbc live. you can find me on twitter, facebook and instagram and on snapchat. right now on msnbc, andrea mitchell reports. thank you very much. breaking news, travel ban 2.0. just moments ago the white house rolling out a new version of the president s most controversial executive order. but this time without the president in the room, no pictures of him at all signing
where terrorists have come over from those countries and they re not on the list. i d like to get a lot more information about how this list was put together, other than it being based on where the trump organization has their financial interests. and furthermore, a travel ban, a blanket travel bean like this i not really the best way to deal with a terrorist threat. terrorists come into the united states from all over the world. we need to not single out or protect their countries. norm, let me ask you about this question of james comey, who we know asked the justice department to reject the accusations that president obama had ordered a wiretap. the white house still sticking to the president s claims without any evidence. listen to this. just so we re clear on this one specific point, is his information that president obama tapped his phone based solely on something he read in the media? yes or no?
