does next. he s not call ed for the governr to resign. he says he s in a unique position, but it s clear that people are focused on fairfax to see what comes next and what role he plays in that, brooke. he could be the governor in a matter of minutes, hours. who knows. dan, thank you very much and richmond. michael is a former virginia state delegate and was the first african-american to represent stafford county. he s one of only 20 current and former black lead eers in the commonwealth. mayors, naacp, council members calling on him to resign. welcome. thank you so much for having me today. all right. you heard the news. the latest from the, from richmond is that the governor is asking for more time. you heard the meeting today. it was emotional for him. is he delaying the inevitable? well while i understand it was emotional for him, it s also emotional for the rest of us who have the to live through this after walking into the shock we found out on friday morning.
well brooke, i think the only thing that is being conveyed when somebody leaks information like this, there s a view i suppose among some officials in the white house and ooifr talked to people inside the white house, outside the president s circle, who say that he does not spend as much time in the oval office as he probably should. and that when he s in the residence and in this unstructured environment, he can be susceptible to a lot of outside advice. talking to people who perhaps couldn t get a security clearance working this administration or programs might have an agenda. that s at cross purposes with people who work inside the white house and work for the administration. so there s a concern about all of this unstructured ed executi time, but at the same time, he is the president and there aren t exactly rules and regulations as to how he should spend his day. you can look at the white house schedule today. once again, his schedule shows he s behind closed doors in
kelly, who was rye trooiing to reign in the president s schedule and the ax access a lot of outside advisers had. he is doing this before he goes into the oval office every day, but that is one of the issues that i think this report has been raised is that because so much of this is unstructured, because it takes place in the residen residence, there aren t the kind of controls you would have when somebody is in the oval office and you have stenographers and people witnessing what s taking place and these kinds of meetings with advisers and so on. we want to point out though in the last few hours, brooke, the white house has tried to put some spin on this. kellyanne conway, the white house counselor came out. she was pushing bag on this r report ju back on this report saying there s another schedule more detailed schedule that goes to a smaller, short rer list of
present and very much a danger still. we re going to keep that top of mind as we continue on. thank you, sir. with me, john walcott, a correspondent for time and just wrote this extraordinary piece where he spoke with a number of high level intel officials. so john, thank you so much for joining me. welcome. a pleasure, brooke. so you say that senior intelligence briefers are breaking two years of silence to warn that president is endangering american security, what they say is willful ignorance. can you exmaplain what they mea by that? i think you saw a good example of that earlier in the interview with margaret brennan on sunday. which is when he s briefed on something that doesn t square with his policy views or his personal views, he simply rejected it. and goes his own way. and we ve heard that time and
penalty this case merits it. on legalities of all of this jeff toobin let me brick you in. we were just talking, our justice correspondent evan perez underscored the fact that this would be a hate crime charge and not as victor pointed out domestic terrorism, and there s been criticism and if she takes questions she will be questioned on this jeff toobin. why not bring about the terrorism charge? well brooke just for starters, i think it s important to point out how unusual it is for the united states department of justice to file any sort of charges in a case where the state is just beginning its own criminal charges because usually the federal government defers to a state when the person has already been charged, but i think it s an indication of how seriously the justice department takes this case and that they are bringing any case at all
