when it comes the president trump and vladimir putin, there s new evidence faye he wants to, in the words of tammy windette, stand by his man. the white house signaled today that the president might veto new u.s. sanctions on russia. that sanctions bill passed overwhelmingly in the senate this evening. 98-2 in the senate. it passed the house on tuesday with only three votes against it. 419 to 3. the president will be overridden for the first time and that means big international news. nonetheless, anthony scaramucci said this morning that trump may veto it anyway saying the president will be tougher on russia without the sanctions. yes. let s watch it. he is looking at the sanctions right now.
say he was going to sit down with the president and ask him what he was going to do so i have no more knowledge than that latest version from one of the highest ranking people in white house. let me say if he fails to sign it, he will be overridden. he would be really foolhardy. thank you so much for joining us. great to talk to you. thank you. . all right. good. we got the democrat there. we had scaramucci representing the white house. let s bring in the panel and synthesize. jo john, julie pace and cnn politics reporter and editor. chris cillizza. the what did you find the point to be. first of all, plugging my daily news letter will get you everywhere. second only to amanda wakes up which i have on my bedside table. i m hearing a lot of buzz about amanda takes up which i
happy american hereoes week. thank you. good reference, important reference. i hope everybody hears it this morning. we ll be hitting the white house news hard this morning. what is the new message when it comes to russian investigations? when it comes to the agendas for you and your life? we do know that congress has said to pass a set of sanctions on russia. this was largely bipartisan. the president had struggled with the optics on this. now it seems as though the white house will accept this. smart remove. you know how legislation works. it s going to go through both houses. would come to his desk. the president could have rejected this sanctions bill. but with bipartisan support, there was a good chance that has veto would have been overridden. and then what? we ll look at that dynamic. and then the big day with jared kushner and paul manafort talk to the senate and the house. there will be a couple of days of questioning.
split messages that kelly was helping us to understand. which way will it go for this president, will he sign it or will he veto it? that s the big question, richard, the white house is in a bit of a bind. they don t like most of this legislation, they ve been pushing back against it because they believe it hamstrings the president, ties the president s hands, but when you look at the vote margins for the bill, this passed in the senate and has overwhelming support in the house, as well. the president does not want to veto a bill and have it overridden as one of his first legislative actions the first month of his presidency. so he s in a bit of a bind. seems the white house is willing to accept this legislation with some of the changes that have been made, but the president doesn t really have much of a choice. if he does veto it, it appears there are enough votes to basically override the president s veto and that s not something you want. it took president obama into his final yea
