Working again. And good day, everyone, im Andrea Mitchell in washington. As the new jersey white house tries to start coordinating its north korea strategy, kim jongun calls the president s Nuclear Bluff threatening to attack guam or at least fire missiles around guam and dare the u. S. To shoot down those missiles after the state news agency calls the president senile and bereft of reason. Kristen welker is in new jersey and ken delaney and nbc global correspondent bill neely in south korea and nbc National Correspondent Miguel Almaguer in qualm.

Intelligence assessment that north korea likely does have, and has developed, Nuclear Weapons small enough to fit atop those longrange missiles or these miniaturized weapons. It is important to note though, cnns reporting is that they have not been tested yet. Americans are certainly paying attention. A brandnew cnn poll shows 62 of americans consider north korea a very serious threat to the Un

President is set to take the stage again in a few hours at an annual gathering of conservatives, better known as cpac. This is the first time we will hear from him after he returns from kim jongun in vietnam. That summit ended abruptly without the two side reaching a deal. While it was taking place the president s reputation was taking a beating in congress and the man saying the most unflattering things, his former personal attorney and sellstyle fixer Michael Cohen. Cohen will be on capitol hill in a closed door session. There is this. Congressional investigators have questions following a New York Times report. It says President Trump insisted his soninlaw and adviser Jared Kushner receive a top secret clearance despite objections of officials. Mr. Trump denied he was involved. A lot to cover here. We get
