executive order. the secretary of state rex tillerson says it will make america safer. this revised order will bolster the security of the united states and her allies. the new order removes iraq from the list of majority muslim countries, included in the ban. six other countries remain on the list. we ll explain why and tell you about other changes. wiretap claims. the fbi is calling on the justice department to refute the claims, but the white house is calling on congress to investigate. let s get the latest for the white house correspondent sarah murry. the white house press secretary sean spicer called on congress to investigate reports of wiretapping, but as the administration provided any evidence at all to substantiate the claims made by the president? wolf, they haven t, and a number of administration officials have been asked about
support their claims. in the courts that s not going to be good enough. of course, one of the things they focus on today is that they have 300 or more people who are being currently investigated for counterterrorism activities. they were prior refugees entering this country. the court to look at that could say that s a reason, but are these people entering when they were children? were they radicalized someplace else? what country? what can the are they from? was it one of these six? the courts have a requirement as an equal branch of the government to look behind that veil and say is it good enough to pass constitutional muster? this is a better travel ban in terms of the constitution. it s still not a slam dunk. don t you have to offer proof? if you say there are these 300 people, well, where are they? what countries were they from? were they self-radicalized once they were here? did they come over? or in europe? did they come over as radicals with the intent to commit terror?
isn t it still a ban based on one s religion? whether you are doing it with one country or several, it s still a muslim ban. i believe it is wroj. so you think the courts will reject this one as well, i assume, right? i think so. let s talk about another sensitive issue. especially for your home state of hawaii. trump administration issued a statement strongly condemning the missile launches. what more can realistically be done to deal with these latest provocations by north korea? once again, north korea has been a very unpredictable country for quite a while now, says and their latest actions is a congressional continuation of what they ve been doing earlier over the years, and it just points out how important stability in the indo-asia pacific area is, and i very much support bipartisan efforts to
made public, but they are almost always secret and remain secret. it is one of the basic rules of classified information in this country that the president of the united states on his own initiative can declassify anything, so president trump, if he is aware of a fisa warrant, a fisa application that involves him, that he thinks is inappropriate, tomorrow he could issue an order that says this is declassified and there s nothing anyone could do to stop it. he doesn t have to wait until tomorrow. he could do it today even if he wanted to. fair point. thank you very much. jeffrey tuben, our senior legal analyst. still ahead, the travel ban take two. our panel will help sort out what s changed from the president s original travel ban ordered six weeks ago. who will this one impact and what happens next? we ll be right back.
