north korean leader as we learned new details about their upcoming meeting. abby phillip live at the white house with the very latest. >> reporter: good morning. it was a triumphant moment overnight for those three american detainees who are finally free and back on american soil but also a triumphant moment for president trump in what he views this will be a historic moment. denuclearization on the korean peninsula and finally, peace between the north and the south, but before then, the president is looking toward a potential meeting with kim jong-un and he's talking a little bit about what he thinks is bringing the north koreans to the table. take a listen whto what he had say last night. >> i think he wants to do something. i think he wants to do something and i really think he wants to bring our country in the real world. there's never been a relationship like this of the we're starting from here but i really think a lot of progress has been made. >> reporter: well, it will truly be a test for that relationship in a mark of how the rhetoric has changed so dramatically here. the president went from calling for fire and fury to thanking kim jong-un for releasing the three men from detention, two of whom have been held for over a year and a third who has been held since 2015. now those three men are headed to walter reed medical center this morning for a further medical evaluation, but by all accounts they were in good health. able to walk on their own, happy to be free again. their family members were not at joint base andrews for their homecoming this morning. an official tells us that's because they will need to be debriefed by intelligence officials before they can be reunited with their family members and as for that meeting with kim jong-un that is hopefully on the books according to the president in the next couple of weeks, we're learning that it's likely that that meeting will be held in singapore. the president had said in the last several days that a time and date was set. he did not announce where it would be but he did rule out the demilitarized zone between the north and south and singapore is looking like the most likely location someplace in the asia region close enough for kim jong-un to reach by plane, john and poppy. >> our new polling shows that many americans are very supportive of that meeting happening. abby, thank you very much. with us now gordon chain. good morning to you and david, let me start with you. you were detained in afghanistan for more than seven months. you know better than any of us sitting here and most americans what that is like. talk about what these men may be going through right now and what their family's are feeling. >> sheer joy. there's nothing better. i'm just so grateful for them and the transition's crazy. you don't think you'll ever be out and suddenly this happens so i'm so happy for these men and their family. >> you can see the joy in their faces. they did look stunned as they were getting off that plane. >> it's a very strange transition -- and i'm sure they were isolated where they were held. it's great they're in good health. their heads are spinning. it must be really jarring and a strange transition. it is wonderful. >> we just heard president trump say it right there, i really think he wants to do something here, speaking of kim jong-un. so what is the significance of these three detainees coming home in the larger picture? if the goal here is denuclearization, does it take you a step closer to that? >> it certainly takes us a step closer and the significance is that these three individuals were released in good health. they could walk on the plane and that shows that kim jong-un wants to create a good atmosphere for the meeting with president trump. contrast that with last june, otto warmbier, the university of virginia student, he was in a coma when he left north korea. he died shortly afterwards. that's when there was a very different relationship we had with north korea and you can see it in the treatment of the two sets of individuals. >> the president, david, also said this morning -- i believe we have it. let's play this. >> we want to thank kim jong-un who really was excellent to these three incredible people. >> so the word excellent, they were excellent to these three people, these were americans detained against their will in north korea. excellent? >> no. so here's the danger and as a former captive it's hard for me to speak about this. it's very tricky these hostage situations. currently there are five americans citizens jailed in iran, two green card holders. robert leavenson, so by pulling out of the iran nuclear deal they are doomed. they will not be released. who knows for years. austin ties has been missing in syria for six years. there's two americans held by the taliban as i was, you can't let these hostages dictate your policy. you can't reward regimes too much and so there's a danger of going to the plane and making it this big moment because hostage takers see this and think, these hostages are worth a tremendous amount so let me take more of them. >> when you look at this, does this keep on raising the stakes for this meeting between president trump and kim jong-un? everything seems to be pointing toward a successful meeting. we'll get there but what then? >> the stakes are high. because you have the united states insisting on north korea giving up all of its nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles, president trump pledged to bring back the japanese abductees. there's a whole bunch of things there and people are going to hold the president to that and, by the way, david, there's possibly a fourth american in north korea, david steaden. there's a lot going on here and certainly president trump has created a very high bar for himself with all of these comments. >> when we look at the approval ratings for north korea, let me pull up what our cnn polling is telling us and you've got -- even the majority of democrats who are very supportive of the president on this, very supportive -- the job ten-point jump in just two months from overall american approval of how the president is handling north korea. the significance, david? >> the president deserves credit. he used a lot of this tough rhetoric and for whatever reason kim jong-un is now talking to him. you want to praise him for what we have so far on north korea. you may know more. you're more of an expert than me, gordon, but so far so good. >> the pace here is extraordinary. mike pompeo's made two trips in how many weeks? >> six. >> the flurry of diplomacy is happening at break neck pace? >> this creates a sort of situation where leaders can get swept away by the momentum. i'm sure kim jong-un has game planned this out in ways we don't like but it may not matter. he's created markers by himself by making all these pledges to give up his troops. president trump may think he's powerful but there's a whole bunch of other forces on him including south korea that is not helpful to us at this particular time and china is trying to reassert itself in the process. we saw kim jong-un going to china twice in a row which is unprecedented, a break in protocol. there's a lot going on here and i don't think that leaders here can control what's going on. that can be dangerous. >> it's one thing, david, for the president to meet with kim jong-un in singapore. it's another thing for the president to step foot in north korea but when a reporter asked the president last night he said that could happen. he said it could happen. what would it take to make that happen? what would north korea have to show before the u.s. president walks there? >> and this is what's so important. the goal here is for north korea to give up its nuclear arsenal. that has to be the bottom line and the concerns that president trump wants a deal so quickly that he won't get that guarantee. he should not step in north korea until he has some iran clad agreement. the north korean regime has agreed to agreements in the past and not enforced them. this all has to go very carefully. you want to be fair. we all criticize trump sometime. he has done well. it's wonderful these three people have been released today. >> gentlemen, thank you both very much. a great morning for those men and their families. another major development overseas, a barrage of rockets and missiles marking the most direct confrontation we've seen in a long time between israel and iran. >> it comes less than two days after the united states withdrew from the nuclear deal. oren liebermann is following the conflict for us. what's the latest? >> reporter: john and poppy, shortly after midnight here that the idf, 20 rockets were fired from behind me here towards israeli military positions not far from where we're standing. israel responded very quickly with a combination of surface to surface missiles, air strikes and more. we were standing in this spot overnight watching all of that unfold. antiaircraft fire hosing across the sky. on the syrian side we heard, some of those surface to surface missiles and we heard the loud bang, the explosion of artillery echoing across this valley here. israel says they struck dozens of iranian targets in syria. it was part of their response because they were expecting iranian aggression because iran and syria blame israel for a number of strikes in syria taken against iran. the white house and this is no surprise has come out firmly on the pro-israel side saying israel has a right to defend itself. here's a statement from the white house. it reads, the united states condemns the iranian regimes provocative rocket attacks from syria against israeli citizens and we strongly support israel's right to act in self-defense. the iranian regime's deployment of offensive rocket and missile systems aimed at israel is unacceptable and highly dangerous development for the entire middle east. no surprise there that the u.s. has come out squarely on israel's corner on this one. what happens from here? it is deceptively quiet here especially after what we saw overnight which was just a few hours ago. does this dissipate or does this continue to escalate? what happens the answer there comes from russia? it is russia that has the military influence over syria, it is russia that has relations and influence over iran and israel and it is russia that is now calling for both sides to de-escalate and to think long and hard about what happens next here. >> or ren lieberman reporting from the golan heights. thank you very much for that. president trump seizing on a chance to change foreign policy. case in point, michael cohen we're learning more about his aggressive and lucrative pitch promising access to the president. >> she was hailed as a hero for landing a southwest plane and now we're finally hearing from pilot tammie jo shults about what she says helped her get through that life changing experience. pah! that will never work. no, no, no, nah. a bulb of light?!?

he have be perez is in washington with the details. it's remarkable what we've learned. >> that's right. this definitely does sound very swampy. we're talking about the new incites we're getting into the ways of president trump's personal attorney sought to profit off his connection to the president. this as cnn learns more about efforts that one of the companies who worked with cohen has taken to distance itself from ties to a russian oligarch. >> reporter: after president trump was elected sources tell cnn that michael cohen quickly got to work attempting to cash in on the victory. multiple people familiar with cohen's behavior say he aggressively pitched himself as having access to the most powerful man in the world. >> they say mr. trump's pit bull, that i am his -- i'm his right hand man. >> reporter: one source describing cohen's sales pitch as, quote, i don't know who's been representing you but you should fire them all. i'm the guy you should hire. i'm closest to the president. i'm his personal lawyer. that landing him deals with novartis, at&t, and the investment firm columbus nova. in a 2007 sec filing, columbus nova described itself as quote, the u.s. based affiliate of the renova group of companies, one of the largest russian strategic investors. renova group is runned by russian oligarch viktor vekselberg who is cousin's with the founder of columbus nova. vekselberg was sanctioned by the u.s. government last month and questioned by special counsel robert mueller's investigators earlier this year about the payments columbus nova made to cohen. columbus nova is now attempting to distance itself from vekselberg. removing this information about its founder's ties to renova group from its website. the website changes are being made because the ties to renova are being misunderstood. cohen now facing accusations of engaging in the very behavior the president slammed his opponent for in 2016. >> access and favors were sold for cash. it's called pay-for-play. pay-for-play. it's illegal. >> reporter: press secretary sarah huckabee sanders refusing to comment. >> as you know, due to the complications of the different components of this investigation i would refer you to the outside counsel so address those concerns. >> reporter: this as both take a and novartis confirm that they have cooperated with mueller's investigators about their business dealings with cohen. in a court filing, cohen's lawyers confirming the payments. accusing stormy daniels's lawyer michael avenatti who initially published the details of the transaction about publishing other information about the wrong michael cohen. cohen's lawyers also accusing michael avenatti of illegally obtaining cohen's bank records. michael avenatti firing back on twitter calling the court filing, quote, baseless, improper and sanctionable. the treasury department's inspector general announcing wednesday that they've opened a review into whether cohen's bank records were improperly disseminated. now the type of consult being work that cohen engaged in is not uncommon here in washington and while it raises ethical questions, it's not necessarily illegal. cohen was not a registered lobbyist when he was doing all this work and these details are a reminder that there's no evidence of collusion, mueller's team clearly is still pursuing angles that the public knows so very little about. >> nothing about. thanks so much for being with us. joining us now laura coates. laura you heard evan's reporting there, the quote from republican strategist saying michael cohen's sales pitch was, i'm your guy. that is to an extent selling access here, but where's the legal line? what's allowable and what would be illegal? >> as disturbing as it may seem that you can pay for access, it's not necessarily illegal to do so. you can have access be paid for, but it doesn't turn into criminal activity until it seems more like a bribe. and it's a quid pro quo, essentially i'm going to not just pay for the access and the influence i may be able to expert to otherwise regular lobbying activities, i'm going to pay for a particular outcome that's going to personal benefit the politician. this is a very hard case to pursue. many sections have different laws about what it takes to be a lobbyist. it gets murkier because the supreme court members have that now infamous case of the former governor of virginia, hold on a second, we'll be very narrow in our definition of what's going to be the quid, the payment and the quo, the official act and they narrow it in a way that seems this very disturbing but not criminal. >> we still don't know why columbus nova this company was paying michael cohen and now we do know, though, as evan just laid out that the company has been scrubbing itself of any reference to viktor vekselberg, right? any reference at all to the head of columbus nova company, his russian oligarchs cousin, how does that factor? >> vekselberg was one of the two men who were stopped when they came into united states air space and landed outside of new york and it was mueller's team who seized on the opportunity to have somebody who otherwise would not be under their jurisdictional power of the united states to search phones and electronic devices, including interrogation, discussions with the person. you know that this person was already on the radar. he's also somebody who's already been put on the sanctions list for what? election interference and to have this person only now at the 11th hour essentially and really probably the next morning if you think about it, to have this person now be scrubbed makes it all the more curious and suspicion about why and what he was doing initially. >> the fact that at&t, novartis spoke to the special counsel, what does that tell you that besides the fact that robert mueller is doing things here that we know nothing about? >> this is like the iceberg here. we've seen through indictments and discussions and that one time that rod rosenstein gave the press conference about the 13 russian nationalists, you're seeing that most of the work being done is under the surface and that's what the grand jury subpoena power is b. i look at this and see the grand jury subpoena power is being used to obtain financial records and documents and to do all the things that won't even require you to get an absolute witness to testify. you can glean a lot from the documents you're getting which is one of the most powerful tools of the grand jury and they are exercising it here, and it allows you to go under the radar without having a witness then go back and talk about what they said. the documents are to speak for themselves. >> laura coates, thank you very much for the legal expertise. will the president's foreign policy win?

>> no, no. they've been saying that all along. they used to say it's going to be wrapped up by christmas. they're wrapping it up now. this is actually a change in a way. it's a walk back to say they should wrap it up rather than that they are going to wrap it up. i think that, you know, this is a story that is in one way or another these scandals have plagued the trump administration from day one and you look back at the nixon administration. there were times when the public was tuned it out. tuned out watergate, tuned out the scandals and they looked at things like the foreign policy victories and opening up china that nixon did, and i think right now when you juxtapose the scandals versus some of the apparent successes, it's a snapshot but today i think that donald trump is looking a lot better than he was a couple days ago. >> and molly to that point, ripping up the iran deal, essentially, one day, the next day bringing three american detainees homes. supporters and critics would have to agree that this president, president trump, is driving world events right now. >> yeah, absolutely. the administration feels that the constant drumbeat of these investigations casts a dark cloud and prevents them -- it's a constant distraction from the achievements they'd like to focus on. the president has often been part of the problem with his focus on the so-called witch hunt and inability to focus on a consistent message but, you know, if you believe that as the white house says, as the vice president says, that there is nothing there, then you want to wrap it up to remove that dark cloud, of course the unspoken assumption of what pt vice president's saying is that there is nothing there. i don't think you would have them saying that they want to wrap it up if they actually believed there would be some result of the investigation that they're not going to like which of course is a very strong possibility. >> matt, you said you think things are looking up. his poll numbers on the issue of north korea, his numbers are up ten points since march and nearly 20 points since last november. i'm not suggesting that he's doing the north korea negotiations for political purposes, but does it provide some kind of a political opportunity for him overall? >> absolutely and again, i don't want to compare him to nixon and watergate, but you know that turned out very badly for richard nixon but there were times along the way when the public said, hey, leave this guy alone. this is a witch hunt. right now i think if it's a snapshot, today donald trump is doing very good and it's transferrable. we see the midterm elections coming up in november. democrats have just a narrow lead in the generic ballot over republicans. you look at the optics of last night in the middle of the night with president trump and first lady trump standing there welcoming the hostages back, you know, no matter where you stand on politics, it was heart-warming and you just can't put -- in terms of positive optics, you can't just put a price tag on that. so i think that the economy's going good, you got the scandal over here, it's a tale of two trump presidencies right now. >> molly, the president's self-described right hand or pit ball as michael cohen called himself a few years ago, didn't he make it all but impossible for president trump to hit the campaign trail and help folks out during the midterms and say, you know, i'm the president, we're the party that will drain the swamp? >> i think that's part of it. i don't think anything is impossible for trump. he is perfectly capable of declaring himself to be draining the swamp even as we see things like this happening which are, you know, objectively very swampy looking. i don't think that he suffers from cognitive distance from that regard. we have a story this "time" magazine about how serious these revelations are and what they add to, what we know about these ongoing scandals. it's a major development which can be hard to stand back and appreciate because there is such a drumbeat. it feels like there's always something, but this is potentially a big deal because of the corruption angle and, you know, strategist, political experts who i talked to say, voters are confused by the whole russia thing. they don't feel like it effects them. when you talk about corruption, when you talk about pay-to-play, that is something that potentially could offend people on a whole different level. >> it's interesting, right, because there is a difference in these cases between corruption and russia or they can be separated and a lot of democrats say the same thing. we should be running on corruption, we shouldn't be running on russia. matt, some trump supporters point out that maybe what michael cohen did was just wrong and dumb, but the president's not connected to it. do you think the president can separate himself from his right hand man and fixer selling access to the white house? >> it's definitely -- i don't know. the political maneuver actually might be harder to pull off than the reality. it's entirely plausible that michael cohen was, at least implicitly selling access and that donald trump didn't know it. i don't know donald trump personally but what i've observed about him is i don't think he would be happy with knowing that someone else was selling access to him. i think he would resent that. michael cohen's making money off selling access to me no. way. it might be actually the optics are problem worse than the actual reality in terms of donald trump specifically. >> there are some sticky issues like the fact that he had dinner with the novartis executive after he paid michael cohen $1.2 million. former prisoner of war calling president trump's pick for cia director disturbing. why he says he cannot support gina haspel to run the agency and why he's asking fellow senators not to as well. ♪ it's a lot easier to make decisions when you know what comes next. if you move your old 401(k) to a fidelity ira, we make sure you're in the loop at every step from the moment you decide to move your money to the instant your new retirement account is funded. ♪ oh and at fidelity, you'll see how all your investments are working together. because when you know where you stand, things are just clearer. ♪ just remember what i said about a little bit o' soul ♪ it was here. i couldn't catch my breath. it was the last song of the night. it felt like my heart was skipping beats. i went to the er. they said i had afib. afib?

>> i think she did say that, poppy, that going forward that's not something she would ever as the head of the cia -- >> but she stopped, she hesitate today call it despite being asked directly that it was immoral. >> and i think that -- i'm not sure that that particular question or her answer to that question is what the focus needs to be on here. i think that -- everybody's raising this issue of what she knew, when she knew it and how involved she was in destruction of these tapes but that's all been investigated. it's all -- there was a special counsel that looked into that, there was an internal investigation that looked into that and i think right now the focus ought to be on her qualifications for this job which are completely -- there isn't anybody who questions her capabilities including many past cia directors from both republican and democrat administrations. she's gotten wonderful reviews for her 30 sum years that she's been involved for working for the cia in a lot of different functions and roles and i think that, you know, the american people expect that when the president puts somebody forward that's qualified for the job that the senate ought to confirm them. >> do you think torture is immoral? >> do i think torture's immoral? i'm uncomfortable with torture in any form and i think the discussion was occurring at the time when i was i think coming -- in the house part of the time but when i got to the senate there was a fairly spirited discussion about that. it was in the wake of 9/11. it was a very different time than what we're in right now, but that being said, i don't think there's any circumstance under which torture should be used. >> let's talk about north korea and the wonderful sight we saw in the middle of the night thanks to the work of the trump administration and other parties as well. here's what the president said and i'm going to read it to you. we want to thank kim jong-un who really was excellent to these incredible three other people. would you have said that? >> no. but you know, i probably say a lot of things differently than the president does. the issue here is that these detainees are home. you have to give credit to the president and to mike pompeo for negotiating that and on whether you like his tactics or not, you have to agree that they are on this level working. we'll see what ultimately happens as a result of these discussions that we'll have on with north korea on denuclearization, but this is a great story and i think the president needs to be given the credit that he's due. >> it's a wonderful development for these families and for these detainees, no doubt. and secretary pompeo to come with him like he did is remarkable. what attitude do you think the president needs to take going into this meeting with kim jong-un. do you think, saying, you know, you treated these detainees you had in captivity for a year in some cases, two or three years that you treated them excellently, is that the right approach heading into this meeting? >> no. you want to head into the meeting with clear eyes about who you're dealing with. this is a dictatorial regime and my view is it's always trust but verify. i think they have to show hard evidence and we have to have disclosure and verification mechanisms in place to ensure that whatever might be agreed upon actually is something that they'll follow through on because we have plenty of experience in history by which to measure the veracity of this -- the regime there so i think that whatever our negotiators, as they get there and the president when he has these meetings perhaps ultimately agree to that needs to be with a clear eyed focus on insuring there's compliance with that agreement because i don't think you can trust these people. >> turning the corner to senator john mccain's book that is coming out in just a few days. we're getting more excerpts of and one of them is his explanation of why he gave the steele dossier to james comey. here what he write. i did what duty demanded i do. i discharged that obligation and i would do it again. anyone who doesn't like it can go to hell. the senator's words. would you have done what senator mccain did? would you have handed over that dossier to the head of the fbi? >> it's hard for me to say and it's a hypothetical question. i think that the senator mccain, for whom i have the greatest respect, is a true patriot. i'm sure he did what he thought was in the best interest of the country and obviously at the time handing it off to the chief law enforcement official in this country who would be responsible for dealing with it in an appropriate way, i'm sure in his views seemed like the right thing to do. i don't doubt that and, you know, what i would've done is hard to say. i think that that's part of the history now. that's part of the narrative and i think going forward we need to focus on trying to get the facts, get conclusions, get this mueller investigation concluded and let's find out where we are. >> i did detect a smile on your face when we read back to you when john mccain said, if anybody didn't like it they can go to hell. you know what john mccain did, did he do the right thing? >> i think that, again, i don't know everything about what he saw or what he knew, but i think that -- i always believe john mccain is an incredible patriot and somebody who served this country with just distinction and honor and what he did at the time i believe was what he thought was right for the country. and the colorful language in which he describes it is something we've all experienced first hand on a personal level, but he's very forge right. he says what he thinks and in this case i have no doubt that what he did is what he thought was in the best interest of this country. >> we heard the vice president mike pence say just a few hours ago the mueller investigation needs to, quote, wrap up. and you've said this thing needs to wrap up in so many words. now we know a lot more. we know that six months ago robert mueller's team was talking to big corporations like at&t, like novartis about payments made to michael cohen to influence or at least get incites in the very least to president trump. knowing what we know now that we didn't know 48 hours ago is part of mueller's investigation, do you still think it needs to wrap up immediately? >> i don't say immediately but there needs to be a pathway here to bringing some conclusion to this. there are lots of things that they've already looked at, indictments that have been issued and i think there are ultimately going to be people who are going to pay a price for wrongdoing in all of this, some of whom have already been indicted. i do think at some point, you know, the american people expect and i think we all expect too that this can't drag on forever. there's a lot of information bits and pieces of which come out on a regular basis. the special counsel is looking at the full spectrum of these issues and we trust him to conclude it and complete it, but i hope that it's completed in a timely way. that this isn't one of those things that it becomes just, you know, an unending process because i think the american people will grow very weary of that and they do want the president to get on with the important work of the country. >> thanks so much for being with us. >> thank you. southwest pilot who successfully landed that plane after it blew an engine midair is speaking for the first time about those moments just ahead. simple goodness is ahhhmazing! meaty morsels. a tender texture. with real meat and a blend of peas and carrots i can see. a totally new kind of awesome going on here!

>> reporter: the investigation seven months in the making, we're going to get a press briefing in a couple of hours. what we now know is that the troops that were sent on this mission in niger had a very confusing situation. they were at some point told to go look for a high value isis operative. that was not a mission they were even authorized, trained, equipped, given the weapons and the readiness to be able to do it. but that is what they were sent to do initially. then they were switched to being working with local forces. that was supposed to be their regular mission or job if you will and then at some point they're sent to look at an abandoned terrorist camp to try to determine what intelligence they could gain from that. the entire thing confusing. and at some point this ambush begins. they're overwhelmed by isis fighters in this remote area of west africa. and overwhelmed would be an understatement. four dying in this fire fight. the troops, the u.s. troops were separated, on the battlefield at various points. they didn't know where each other -- where they were all located. they had to keep looking for each other. la david johnson fought valiantly as the others did and had to run for his life. he was shot and killed and, of course, he's the young man whose body was not found for 48 hours. the big question, also, how is it that rescue forces did not come into the area for over an hour. how are they sent on a mission with no medevac and no rescue forces readily available to help them. these are all the questions the pentagon is supposed to be answering. but let me underscore something, what we learned a few minutes ago is we're getting a briefing, we're getting the summary, we will be able to ask questions. after seven months, we are not getting the full report. that full report still being declassified, no indication of when the full report of this event that killed four american soldiers in niger, no indication when that report will be made available to the american public. john?
