Detail indicates a move to embarrass President Trump from the highest levels. As President Trump tries to learn who leak this had, he is getting hit with three lawsuits. Three. That may open up more private details in a very public way. All from women in his past. First this is senator marco rubio, asked about the president congratulating president putin, whose election is considered a sham. I dont like it. What i dont like less is that theres someone this close to him leaking it out. If you dont like the guy, quit. To leak this out, its dangerous. I dont like what he did, but i really hate that someone in his inner circle leaked this out. If you dont like working for the president you should resign your job. Lets start there with a very snowy picture and my correspondent jeff zeleny. On this leak, we no that, of course, trump is furious and so is his chief of staff, john kelly. We do, indeed, brooke. We know this is something that the president is focusing on, im told. He is furious about this. They were trying to get to the bottom of who would have leak this had information. Three words, do not congratulate in the briefing papers for that call yesterday that the president made with Vladimir Putin. We do know he made that call from the residence that started before his official workday began in the oval office. And there was a very small number of people around him. Of course, a larger group of people who prepared the briefing papers. Unclear if he did read those briefing papers. He did congratulate him. It reminds me a year or so ago when things were leaking from the National Security realm about his phone calls with foreign leaders. Weve not seen a leak like that since then. There is a concern about the president s relationship with Vladimir Putin, why he finds it difficult to call him out. The white house wanting to focus on the process of this, the leaks of this. The substance so very important. So many republicans raising questions about why the president has not called out putin specifically for russian meddling and other matters. At least for today, on a snowy day in washington, you can see behind me, brooke, the federal government officially closed. The white house has no public events. Inside, i can tell you, people are working on trying to figure out who leaked that. Its one of the president s top priorities, brooke. An idle president perhaps trying to, or not, sit on his twitter fingers with a quiet, snowy day, could concern people also in that white house. Jeff zeleny, thank you. Well come back to more of that. Also this porn star, playmate and reality tv star, the chorus of women from president Donald Trumps past is getting louder. In the last 24 hours, results of the polygraph test found that porn star Stormy Daniels was telling the truth about her alleged affair with donald trump. A second woman is now suing to get out of the nondisclosure agreement and a state court ruled that a third woman can sue the president himself in connection with yet another alleged incident. With me now mj lee, cnn National Political reporter. So this Stormy Daniels has gone from pretty cagey about her allegations, speaking primarily to her lawyer to now she is not holding back on her twitter feed. Lets talk a little bit about what she has been saying. Brooke, the fact that she even tweeted about this is actually really telling. Youre right. She has been cagey. She has avoided major questions about her alleged affair with donald trump and the whole payout that she received from michael cohen. You get a sense of defiance from Stormy Daniels. Let me read what she wrote on twitter last night. Technically, i didnt sleep with the potus 12 years ago. There was no sleeping hee hee and he was just a goofy reality tv star. I digress. People do care that he lied about it, had me bullied, broke laws to cover it up, et cetera and, ps, i am not going anywhere. You kind of have to wonder whether this tweet had anything to do with the 60 minutes spr interview that is going to air sunday. We dont know what she will say and she could end up talking about this polygraph test she took in 2011 and just to quickly remind everyone, she was asked as part of this life and style magazine in 2011 two questions. Did you have vaginal intercourse with donald trump in the summer of 2006 and did you have unprotected sex with donald trump at the same time . And what the test determined at the time was that there was no reason to question that she was telling the truth on both of these answers where she said yes. Now, the final thing that i will end with is that there is video, apparently, of her taking this test. This polygraph test. Michael avenatti said he purchased that video using 25,000 because he wants to make sure that he is in possession of this video and make sure it is not tampered with. Who knows if that video may end up being released at some point. Remind people polygraphs are not always admissible in court. We heard on ac 360 he just wants it to play out, court of Public Opinion seems to be the theme with that legal team. Mj, Stormy Daniels is just one of the three women we mentioned putting the president to the test. Karen mcdougal in the center of your screen is suing to get out of nondisclosure agreement about her alleged affair with President Trump and apprentice contestant Summer Zervos on the right there. Just got a word from the judge that she was green lighted that she could move forward with her Defamation Case when the president said she lied about Sexual Assault allegations. Thanks for coming in on this snow day. The pressure is mounting. You have these three women, three Different Cases. Its playing out in three different, you know, courtroos. S i dont know about precedent, but how extraordinary is this . Well, extraordinary is a really good word here, right . Weve never had all these different avenues of attack on a president before from different incidents, too. Its not like its different witnesses to the same thing. Its an extraordinary problem for him. He is really in trouble if, like what happened to bill clinton, he gets into a civil case that results in a deposition. Thats when you potentially face perjury charges. As a civil matter, who cares . He can sue and be sued. He has gone through it a million times before. When it turns over to a potentially criminal matter when he testifies thats when, of course, he and his presidency get into great trouble. How should he respond to any of this . The judge in the Defamation Case says he has ten days to respond. Thats really hard to say. He is in such a predicament. One thing he should do is get better lawyers around him. He has lawyers around him. He does. He so far hasnt gotten the a team. He needs folks who think about the civil side of things, like answering this complaint in the zervos case but bigger questions with criminal exposure and the impact on the presidency. He needs to get better people and they need to be thinking about all these issues. He should avoid being deposed at all costs and tamp it down as best he can. Is it just well move on to the fresh attacks on mueller. At the end of the day, i guess there are multiple worst Case Scenarios, but one of the worst Case Scenarios would be if somebody says, yes, he did Campaign Finance laws, right, that his team was trying to dupe the American Public by covering these alleged affairs or Sexual Harassment and dupe the American Public before they elected him . Thats one of the ways this could turn into a criminal matter if there was an election Law Violation here. Thats potentially what john edwards was tried for years ago. And it looks like thats a pretty good chance. You know, these were benefits to the campaign right before the election. So, the timing looks like that, in fact, was the reason for the payoffs. Problem is theyre very rarely criminally charged. Federal election is unlikely to do anything about that. It probably wont go down that road for him but there is exposure there. The series of tweets from the president this morning, calling out the special counsel bob mueller. Hes quoting alan dershowitz, Professor Emeritus who wrote this piece in the hill this morning. Dershowitzs point is that the special counsel should not have been appointed. No evidence of any crime commit bid the Trump Administration but there was plenty of evidence that russian operatives had tried to interfere with the 2016 president ial election and other elections in hoept of destabilizing democracy. Is it worth an investigation to see if a crime was committed . How do you see it . Dershowitz has famously been on the trump side of this question for a long time. You dont have to have hard evidence of criminal conduct. In fact, thats exactly what the special counsel is for, to try to dig up evidence like that. To me, there was indications that there were crimes by the russians, likelihood that they had some help by americans, which we actually know to be true from the one indictment thats been issued. To me its very clear that the appointment of Robert Mueller fell squarely within the special counsel statute. Jennifer rodgers, thank you. Next up how the first lady, melania trump, is handling these allegations made against the president. Searching the home of the man, the 24yearold they say is responsible for the string of bombings. The suspect is dead. There is growing concern about what he may have left behind, including potential future explosive packages. We have that for you. And a longtime fox news analyst says hes quitting the network. Hes calling it a Propaganda Machine, his words. What he told colleagues in a scathing email. Youre watching cnn. Im brooke baldwin.

In one place, anywhere we need it. Help us do our jobs better. With domo we can run this place together. Well thats thats your job i guess. Were were back. Youre watching cnn. The hunt for that serial bomber is over. He is dead. Police say that man is 23yearold condit who built the bombs himself. Its not clear if, in fact, he acted alone. Let me show you these pictures. Fedex store surveillance cameras obtained by our affiliate and Police Believe this shows the moment when he dropped off two packages sunday evening. It appears, they think, hes wearing a wig, a cap and gloves. This video was the final piece that tied him to these attacks. To the manhunt now this is how it actually ended. Police say they tracked his car to a hotel just outside of austin. When he decided to drive away, s. W. A. T. Team members swooped in, followed him and set off a bomb inside his car as authorities started to move in. But the full threat is not over for people in austin. Authorities are saying danger still remains because theyre not sure if he planted additional bombs before they tracked him down. Theyre warning people to still remain vigilant. We dont know where this suspect has spent his last 24 hours and, therefore, we still need to remain vigilant to ensure that no other packages or devices have been left through the community. What investigators still dont have is why, the motive. With me now, former atf senior agent and explosive specialist. Tina, youve tracked all kinds of investigation in your years and i know you said agents need a little bit of luck and hope that these suspects make a mistake. Do you think thats what happened here . Absolutely. That was exactly the break and the little bit of light you look for in your investigation. What do you think the mistake was that he made . This day and age with all the surveillance accuracy that are availab available. We heard about that in the news, that cameras do capture that. In addition to the cameras they still had to rely on the evidence that they collected and skillful interviewing techniques and looking for those pieces and parts that were part of the devices that the bomber made. Part of the concern is even though hes dead, he could have sent out a package or several packages to be detonated which still could be threatening to the austin community. How can police use the devices that theyve already found to help track those down . The investigators will definitely continue to pursue the leads that they already have. In addition to exploiting any additional evidence that they get since the events last night and exploiting any new evidence they get since last night. As they continue to look at the components and visit stores where he may have purchased things, bombers will typically purchase things in their own backyard we can typically go back 30 to 60 days in sales receipts and see if we can recover where those sales occurred and what was purchased in order to build the devices. Theyll continue to look at all those aspects to see if they cant piece together how many more he might have made if that is the case. Incredible. This is the bombers family, releasing a statement. Just reading in part, quote, we are devastated and broken at the news that our family could be involved in such an awful way. We had no idea of the darkness that mark must have been in. Our family is a normal family in every way. We love, we pray and we try to inspire and serve others. Right now our prayers are for those families who have lost loved ones. For those impacted in any way and for the soul of our mark. We are grieving and we are in shock. Please respect our privacy as we deal with this terrible, terrible knowledge and try to support each other through this time, end quote. I guess the next and final question is the motive and the why which, you know, hopefully theyre able to get to for people in austin to be able to move on. Tina sherrow, thank you for joining me. Thank you. Just in, former Vice President joe biden says he would, quote, beat the hell out of President Trump if they were in high school. What prompted that remark . Lets talk about that next. Also, breaking news on federal Interest Rates and what it signals about the current state of the economy. Back in just a moment. He gets to be the fun one . Whos the fun one now .

Interest rates are going up to 1. 75. The move a response to an improving economy. The first major decision for the new fed chairman powell. The fed has raised rates six times since the crisis era lows. Now to anger in the west wing. President trump fuming and his chief of staff frantically searching for the source of this embarrassing week to come from the white house. This week revealed that trump was warned by his National Security staff not to congratulate Vladimir Putin on his election win, widely regarded as a sham election. But the president went on and did it anyway. The leak also detailed this. While congratulating putin, trump ignored other advice. He did not bring up the nerve gas attack in britain or the meddling in u. S. Election. He often makes his call to foreign leaders while still in the residence. Few people are often with him. Lets go over this with gloria borgeer. First point i made a second ago with jeff zeleny. Its a quiet, snowy day. Canceled events, no White House Briefing today. Should the white house be worried about what trump might do or so with so much truime on his hands over the furry of the leak . You never know what he will do, first of all. Secondly, he has every right to be upset about this leak. If i were the president and making calls to f
