President trump is escalating his feud with one of the most prominent black members of congress, maryland democrat Elijah Cummings. Over the weekend House Speaker nancy pelosi called the president s attacks against cummings racist but mr. Trump said there was nothing racist in his words and as so often the case he took the criticism against him and redirected it against those criticizing him. In this case saying cummings is actually the racist. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill. Nancy, why would the president go after cummings in the first place . Reporter well, because cummings is investigating him and his administration. As chair of the powerful House Oversight committee, cummings has opened probes into White House Security clearances, into family separations at the border, and into the president s financial interests. I understand that everything donald trump says is offensive to some people. Reporter the president s acting chief of staff insisted sunday mr. Trump isnt bigoted just hyperbolic. This is being perceived as racist. Do you understand why . I understand why but that doesnt mean it is racist. Reporter in more than a dozen tweets and retweets, President Trump called maryland democrat Elijah Cummings a brutal bully and told him to focus on his, quote, dangerous and filthy district. A disgusting, rat and rodentinfested mess where no human being would want to live. The tweets come two weeks after the president told four other lawmakers of color to go back to where they came from. This president has had a history of attacking minorities. Reporter baltimores mayor called the president s tweets an insult and in a scathing editorial the Baltimore Sun said better to have a few rats than to be one. Cummings has represented his district since 1996. It stretches from inner city baltimore to well off suburbs and is nearly 53 africanamerican. This weekend cummings told cbs news, i will not be distracted from doing everything i can to uplift the lives of the people in baltimore. On sunday, some republicans tried to change the subject. I didnt i didnt do the tweets, chuck. I cant talk about why he did what he did. Reporter mulvanee says the president is simply pushing back against what he sees as wrong specifically recent criticism by cummings of conditions at border detention facilities. Its sitting in their own feces. Cant take a shower. Come on, man. Whats that about . Reporter many critics noted that the president only tends to use terms like infested when he is talking about black and brown communities. The Baltimore Sun noted that the president actually has more power than cummings or anyone else to help baltimore if he is so concerned about it. Interesting point. Thank you. One of the few remaining members of President Trumps original National Security team says it is time to move on. Dan coats says he is resigning as director of National Intelligence. Coats had a tense relationship with the president over some high profile security threats including russia, iran, and north korea. Ben, who has the president named as coats successor . Reporter the president says he is going to nominate texas republican congressman John Ratcliffe to replace dan coats as director of National Intelligence. Now, the president made the announcement via twitter on sunday, saying that coats will leave office on august 15th. The director of National Intelligence serves as the countrys top intelligence official, charged with overseeing all 17 agencies of the u. S. Intelligence community. Now, coats has held the role since march, 2017. His exit has long been speculated mainly because he has often clashed with the president over National Security issues including defending intelligence inered in the 2016 election. Ratcliffe has served in the house since 2015. He is a member of both the intelligence and judiciary committees. The former u. S. Attorney notably defended President Trump during a Fierce Exchange with Robert Mueller during last weeks hearing. Ratcliffe still has to be confirmed by the senate and the president says he will name an acting director in the meantime. Thank you very much. The mood in puerto rico is shifting from celebration to uncertainty over who will replace the embattled governor. He is set to step down on friday. The justice secretary who is next in the line of secession tweeted yesterday, quote, i have no interest in occupying the position. Just back from covering the political crisis in puerto rico, quite the tweet there. What is next . Its starting out to be a political soap opera quite frankly. Youve got a line of secession that clearly lays out who will become the next governor but now youve got the woman who is the justice secretary who is next in line saying, hey, i dont want it. The question is, whos next . All while people are standing in the streets right now saying, we will continue to protest. There was dancing in the streets of san juan sunday to celebrate the fact that the scandal plagued Governor Ricardo Rossello will be stepping down on friday. But after two weeks of demonstrations, to oust him, the new protests broke out overnight to demand the resignation of Wanda Vazquez the secretary of justice next in line to take the governors place. Nk the populat believed she is part of the political system. I think it is a matter of trust. We dont trust her. The fact vazquez says she doesnt even want the job is throwing the line of secession into chaos. If the governor resigns, the territorys secretary of state should have been next in line but he resigned earlier in the month caught up in the same scandal involving offensive chat messages as the governor. Next is vazquez. If she doesnt take the office, it will fall to the secretary of the treasury. But hes only 31 years old and you have to be 35 to become governor. Then it falls to the secretary of education, whos only been on the job a few months. Vazquez is calling on the Current Governor to appoint a new second in command before friday, making her secession a moot point. We asked vazquez on twitter, do you plan tosty shas n y responded. If she does not step down, she is obligated to serve. David, do you think the secretary of justice is saying she is not interested in the job but is remaining and will ultimately say it is my duty. Im going to take the job. I think she knows she is up against the headwind of the protesters who said they will remove the governor and were successful in 12 days. She could take it and resign and the number two takes over or the governor could name a number two, basically give her room to walk out, and the new number two could step in. It is really chaos right now. And the governor has not said a word about what he is going to do. Could he go back on his resignation . And not resign . Is it possible . In this point in puerto rico anything is possible. Really tough for People Living there living through all of this. Im sure well be sending you back. Thank you. You bet.
