At the time . I addressed this as far as i can go. Did he know about the payment at the time . Not that im aware of. There was no knowledge of payments from the president. He has denied all of the allegations. I addressed the question extensively. Reporter she tried to say she answered the questions and referred the other questions to the outside lawyer. The fact is the questions remain. The white house says it has been asked and answered before the election. The reality is these are new questions because of new legal information. A busy week for the white house and its only thursday. Dave and christine. Thank you, jeff. Now confusion over the timing and details over the trade announcement. He was set to sign tariffs on the aluminum and steel today. The event was not on the white house schedule last night. Aides working on the plan. Why . The policy hasnt been finalized. Including the fate of two of the biggest trading partners. Canada and mexico. Here is Peter Navarro last night. The proclamation will have a clause that does not impose tariffs immediately on canada and mexico. That is different from what Peter Navarro said last weekend. He said no countries would be excluded from the tariffs. He added it gives the u. S. Time to negotiate nafta. The president tied exemptions to nafta this week. Navarro reinforces what press secretary Sarah Sanders said yesterday. There are potential carveouts for mexico and canada based on National Security and possibly other countries as well. Sanders statements helped stocks rebound. S p 500 flat after falling 1 . All on fears of a trade war. Trumps tariffs plans faces an issue with aides and allies. And fellow republicans as well. This is part of the reason gary cohn resigned as economic adviser. Many are concerned the tariffs could hurt other u. S. Industries like manufacturing and agriculture and other countries would retaliate. China will make a necessary response in the event of a trade war. Joining us from washington is washington reporter tal kopan. Good morning. The republicans in congress have been unhappy with the president on immigration after the wide freewheeling meeting. On guns, they seemed to get him back in line and tack him back to the right. That is not happening here on trade. How real is the fracture with the president and every pr prominent republican in congress . Just look at the public statements and comments. There seems to be a real fracture with the president and handful of advisers and large swath of the Republican Party. Again, as we were just describing, it is very hard to know what the white house is actually going to do. They mixed their messages. They said it will be absolute. No exemptions and then there are exempti exemptions and carveouts. It is completely unformed at this point what they will do. And the devil is in the details on this, but there are a number of warning signs from capitol hill saying they dont like where this is headed. Wilbur ross and Steve Mnuchin and Peter Navarro have been out talking to the Business Press about were not going to blow up things. We will do the narrow tariffs and it will not be a trade war. There is another story simmering. The adult film actress and what is alleged to be a relationship she had with the president and payoff before the election. You know, Congress Member mark sanford, republican from south carolina, had his own scandal when he was governor. This is what he said about this scandal. He said, hush money is a big deal. We are talking about a payment in october of 2016. We are talking about money exchanged in the middle of the president ial campaign. That is problematic. If the shoe were on the other foot and there was a democratic president ial candidate who had done the same thing, republicans would be Holding Hearings right now. Why doesnt this Stormy Daniels debacle elevate from a boil to simmer here . It is a couple things. One it is the pace of the news under the Trump Administration. It is absolutely right. If this had happened under almost every other administration, it would have been several news cycles of nothing else. Because there is simply so much happening sometimes stories in any other administration would be headline grabbers get lost in the shuffle. This president came in with a different backgrounds than most politicians do and the Republican Party has already swallowed quite a bit of things that normally they would not expect from their politicians and coming in with the expectations already, sometimes these incidents and scandals, they dont rise to the level they normally would if you had a squeaky clean background. The lawmakers asked are able to say we sort of knew there was stuff like this in the past. And access hollywood inoculated the president. He had the big scandal. People elected him knowing he is not the traditional candidate. Right. Meanwhile the Trump Administration continues to battle with the state of california. They have done so with every issue. Environment or off shore drilling. We could go on and on. This immigration battle dealing with sanctuary cities. Governor jerry brown said we knew the Trump Administration is full of liars and on and on. Here is what attorney general Jeff Sessions said yesterday. Federal law determines immigration policy. State of california is not entitled to block that activity. Somebody needs to stand up and say no. You have gone too far. You cannot do this. This is not reasonable. It is radical. Has the state of california gone too far . Well, this is certainly going to be a very interesting piece of litigation. You know, it is a bit unusual for the federal government to take this step of proactively suing a state over a law they put on the books. One interesting wrinkle is the precedent he is citing is the law the Obama Administration used in the opposite direction. Arizona went too far to enforce immigration laws that the federal government did not want to do. This is opposite of the federal government saying based on the arguments that california is interfering and not going far enough. Both sides certainly have legal arguments to make here. The politics are incredibly pitched. You heard radical extremists and a lot of rhetoric going around. Legal arguments are interesting. This could have the potential to make its way to the supreme court. Be a very landmark case in terms of how the federal government and states sort out the issues. Interesting. Tal, come back. Thanks. The New York Times reporting that President Trump took personal interest two caids conversations had with special counsel robert mueller. Former chief of staff Reince Priebus writes if they had been nice to him. The president told him to fire mueller. Something mcgahn said he had in fact done. This demonstrates mr. Trump ignored legal advice to avoid interfering in the investigation. At the time, the followup questions were not known. And florida lawmakers passed new gun violence measures defying a push from the nra. We get nmore from athena jones n florida. Reporter good morning, christine and dave. The School Safety bill passed and it is headed to the governors desk. It would raise the age to purchase a firearm to 21 from 18 years old and establish a threeday waiting period to buy a firearm with exceptions. It would ban the sale of bump fire stocks. That is the accessory to allow a semiautomatic weapon to fire like an automatic weapon. It would give Law Enforcement more power to seize weapons and ammunition from those deemed mentally unfit or otherwise a threat. It would provide additional funding for Armed School Resource officers and for Mental Health services in districts across the state. The controversial provision in the bill allows school staff to be armed as long as they go through training and meet other criteria. That has drawn criticism from others across the state. As well as governor scott. The Governors Office says he is opposed to the threeday waiting period the bill establishes. One thing that is not clear if the governor would veto the bill with the provisions. Governor scott said once he receives the bill, he will review it linebyline and talk about it with the families of the parkland victims. The governor, once he receives the bill, has 15 days to decide to sign or veto it otherwise it goes into effect. Christine. Dave. Athena jones in florida. Thank you.
