That is such a great development. There were so many concerns about her. Welcome to early start, everybody. Seemed like hope had been lost. Friday, january 11th, 4 00 a. M. In the east. That means day 21 of the Government Shutdown. Tomorrow it becomes the longest in u. S. History. The administration now actively looking for funds to use for building a border barrier if and when President Trump declares a National Emergency. One prime source under consideration, billions of unspent Defense Department Disaster Recovery money intended to help victims in puerto rico, texas, florida and california. The president now warning he will declare a National Emergency if talks with democrats to end the Government Shutdown stay at standstill. If this doesnt work out, probably i will do it. I would almost say definitely. This is a National Emergency. Such a declaration would be subject to an Immediate Court challenge and even trumps advisers have told him that it probably would not work legally. But there are not many other paths out of a shutdown that at midnight becomes the longest in modern american history. Jim acosta traveled with the president and file this had report. Reporter president came to the border to get a sense of the situation down here. Talked with Law Enforcement officials and other Border Patrol agents. At one point the president described the situation as being under attack. He said the nation is under attack down here on the border. It was an odd case to make because he was sitting in one of the safest communities in the country, mcallen, texas. But yet the president tried to make the case that this community and other communities along the border are under attack trying to ebobolster his case potentially to declare a National Emergency. Were certainly under attack by criminal gangs, by criminals themselves, by the human traffickers and by drugs of all kinds. Much of it comes through the southern border. All rig reporter the president made several misleading statements about his case for the wall. At one point he said that he never said during the campaign that mexico was going to hand over a big check to pay for the wall. Of course during the campaign the president repeatedly said that mexico would pay for the wall and at various points he said yes, mexico would deliver a payment to the American People to fund the wall. And as a matter of fact his campaign put out a document saying that mexico could end this once and for all and hand over to the United States a payment, a one time payment they put it, of 5 billion to 10 billion. Jim acosta, thank you, sir. Republicans in the senate ditching an 11th hour plan to find a compromise on immigration after President Trump rejected it. The measure spearheaded by senator Lindsey Graham included border wall funding and temporary protections for d. R. E. A. M. Ers. House democrats forging ahead meanwhile passing two spending bills, 12 republicans joining them. It passed the first measure which would reopen the Transportation Department and housing and urban development or hud. But as Phil Mattingly reports, it may all be for nothing. Reporter for a brief moment, there was hope, there is a question that this will go walks. Talks arent kcontinuing. House democrats are still passing individual bills that Mitch Mcconnell has made clear that he wont on take up. So a lot of republican aid i goes are looking toward the president to take executive action, that might have the next path. Lindsey graham is advocating for that saying that is really the only path left. That as the democrats have made clear they will quickly try to take to court, see if they can block it. So the fight will continue. When it is over is still an open question. In washington, the president of the aflcio has joined by members of congress and hundreds of federal workers demanding an end to the shutdown. Listen to one of the protesters in utah, with no paycheck, she is resorting to desperate measures. I have enough for one more mortgage payment and then i have to go to are car max tomorrow and sell my car. Youre going to sell your car . I have to. And in atlanta, tsa workers led a protest against the Government Shutdown right outside the busy north terminal at Hartsfield Jackson international airport. And Miami International airport will close a terminal early beginning for three days due to a shortage of screeners at security checkpoints. Tsa employees are working without pay due to the Government Shutdown and an airport spokesman tells the miami herald that clescreener are calling in sick at double the normal rate. The shutdown also affecting active fbi investigations due to a lack of funding. Nearly 5,000 fbi employees are among the hundreds of thousands of federal workers told that they cannot show up to work. They have been sent home without pay, no work, no investigations. The limited budget means money to pay dries up. Agents have been told to make payments to informants only if the integrity of the investigation is at risk. Michael cohen, President Trump effexo former lawyer and will test tie. He was sentenced to three years on multiple charges that included lying to congress. He implicated the president in a scheme to pay hush money to two women claiming they had affairs with then citizen trump. Here is what cohen told abc after his sentencing in december. Im done with the lying. Im done being loyal to President Trump. I followed a bad path and hence how we started this conversation. I have my freedom and i will not be the villain as i told you once before. I will not be the villain of his story. Cohen set to begin his three Year Prison Sentence in march. New develops in the russia investigation, it turns out special Counsel Robert Mueller interviewed Donald Trumps top campaign polster last year, Tony Fabrizio. He is also an exbusiness associate of Paul Manafort. That could be signature. We know mueller is investigating why manafort sharinternal polli data with a russian operative while he was running the campaign. Reporter special Counsel Robert Muellers investigators interviewed tony if a breeze fa year. This is a discussion that possibly takes on new importance now that we know that the mueller investigators even recently were asking questions about internal polling data that Paul Manafort, the former Trump Campaign share man, shared with a former business associate who the special counsel says is keskted e connected to russian intelligence. Manaforts lawyers this week accidentally made public in a court filing that prosecutors had claimed manafort was lying to them about sharing the polling information about his business associate konstanin kilimnick. We dont know why that information was being shared and whether any of that data ended up with the russians who at the time were trying to launch campaign to try to help donald trump win the white house. The president was asked by reporters whether he knew that his Campaign Chairman was sharing that information. No, i didnt know anything about it. Nothing about it. Reporter cnn reporters in february of last year saw fabrizio leaving his interview at the mueller offices here in washington. And weve since confirmed that he provided information to the mueller investigation. Fabrizio is a former business associate of manafort and he is someone who would have knowledge about the inner workings of the Trump Campaign as well as manaforts connections in eastern europe. If a breeze wfabrizio worked win ukraine and he went on to serve as chief polster for the Trump Campaign in the spring of 2016. Fabrizio declined comment for this story, but a source familiar with his testimony says that he was asked about manaforts business dealings. We dont know whether he had any followup interviews and what other topics he provided information on. Christine and dave. Evan perez, thanks. Investigators are said to be focused on false or misleading public statements by President Trump and his team, trying to determine if public remarks were aimed at influencing witnesses or obstructing justice. Rudy giuliani responding to cnns reporting slamming the mueller team, he wants to use the Public Comments as part of an obstruction claim. According to this latest oppressive theory, you cant even defend yourself. Meanwhile the white house working hard to keep much of what will be in the Mueller Report private claiming it should be protected by executive privilege. The new white House Counsel has hired 17 new lawyers to help in that effort. Wall street rallied for a fifth day in a row. The dow climbed 123 points, recovering from a slide earlier in the day.

In his remarks, pompeo tried to reassure allies on the shifting u. S. Strategy in syria. There is no contradiction whatsoever. This is a story made up by the media. This from syria until turkey gave it assurances that the turks wouldntrhetoric, particularly bashing the former administrations policies in the middle east. But short on details on how it will move forward encountering for instance the growing influence in the region. What is significant is that the americans kurdish allies in syria feeling somewhat betrayed by this sudden announcement by President Trump last month about withdrawing from syria, and now in contact with the government in damascus to restore relations. And of course damascus is a closele ally with iran. So how that all makes sense, good guess. I dont know. Were with you there. Ben wedeman live for us just about 11 30 there in cairo.

Happy friday, everybody. Welcome back to early start. It is 31 past the hour. And the administration now actively looking for funds to use for building a border barrier in and when the president declares that National Emergency. One prime source under consideration, billions in unspent Defense Department Disaster Recovery money meant to help victims in puerto rico, texas, florida and california. The president now warning that he will declare a National Emergency if talks with democrats to end the Government Shutdown are at a standstill. If this doesnt work out, probably i will do it. I would almost say definitely. This is a National Emergency. Such a declaration would be subject to an Immediate Court challenge and even trumps advisers have told him it probably wouldnt work, legally that is. But there are not many other paths on ultimate of a shutdown that at midnight becomes the longest in modern american history. Jim acosta traveled with the president to the border and filed this report. Reporter President Trump came down to the border here in mcallen to get a sense of the situation down here, talked with Law Enforcement officials and other Border Patrol agents. At one point he described the situation as being under attack. It was an odd case to make because he was sitting in one of the safest communities in the country, mcallen consistently ranked one of the most secure communities in the United States. But yet the president tried to make the case that this community and others are under attack, trying to bolster his case potentially to declare a National Emergency so he can secure funding for his walled. Heres more of what he had to say. Were certainly under attack by criminal gangs, by criminals themselves, by the human traffickers and by drugs of all kinds. Much of it comes through the southern border prt. Reporter . Reporter he made several misleading statements. At one point he told reporter thats never said that next come would hand over a big check to pay for the walled. Of course during the campaign, the president repeatedly said that mexico would pay for a wall and at various points he said, yes, mexico would actually deliver a payment to the American People to fund that wall. As a matter of fact, his campaign put out a document saying that mexico could end this once and for all and hand over to the United States a payment, a one time payment they put it of 5 billion to 10 billion. Jim acosta at the border for us. Thank you. Republicans in the senate ditching an 11th hour plan to find a compromise after President Trump rejected it. The measure included border wall funding and tremp area protections for d. R. E. A. M. Erss. House democrats passing two spending bills, 12 republicans joining them to pass the first measure, which would reopen the Transportation Department and housing and urban development. But as Phil Mattingly reports, it may be all for nothing. Reporter for a brief moment there was hope, not hope that there was going to be a solution to the Government Shutdown, but hope because at least people were talking. To be specific, a group of republican senators, senators who had expressed frustration at the president s strategy, who had said they didnt want a shutdown at all, that they wanted to find a way out. They had been working since wednesday night on a proposal that would essentially trade protections on a temporary basis for the money that President Trump asked for for the wall. That deal fell completely apart. Why . Because President Trump rejected it. Out of the top senator who is working out this deal feel . Take a listen to Lindsey Graham. I have never been more depressed about moving forward than i am right now. I just dont see a pathway forward. Somebody is going to like get some energy to fix this. Reporter and graham in that statement is really kind of talking for all 535 members of congress, at least those that ive spoken with over the last couple days. There is recognition that there is no Clear Pathway out. Both parties are entrenched that their positions are not moving and at the near term, there is no legislative solution at the moment for a fix for a way out of the Government Shutdown. There is a real question right now whether or not this is not going to go days, whether this is actually going to end up going weeks. And is it going to be solved anytime soon . Talks arent continuing. Meets arent scheduled. The senate wont be back until next week and House Democrats are still passing individual funding bills that Mitch Mcconnell has made clear he wont take up. So a lot of aiof aides are looko the National Emergency. Lindsey graham is saying that is really the only path left, something the democrats have made clear that they will quickly take to court, see if they can block it. So a fight will continue. When it is over is still an open question. What is not an open question, that the government will remain shut down likely for a while. Federal workers staging protests across the country as prepare to go without their first full paychecks since the Government Shutdown started. In washington, the president of the aflcio was joined by hundreds of federal workers demanding an end to the shutdown. And in utah, listen to this protester, she is resorting to desperate measures. I have enough for one more mortgage payment and then i have to go to carmax tomorrow and sell my car. Youre going to sell your car . I have to. And in atlanta, tsa workers led a proceed protest against t at Hartsfield Jackson. And miami airport will close one terminal for three days due to a shortage of screeners. Tsa employees are work without pay and screeners are calling in sick as double the normal rate. Tsa managers are concerned that they wont have enough workers to operate all the checkpoints at normal hours at Miami International airport. And active fbi investigations ainvestigation s are also affected. The limited budget means money to pay informants dries up. Law enforcement sources say agents have been told to make payments to informants only if the integrity of an investigation is at risk. Joshua Tree National Park outside palm springs, california stayed open through the Government Shutdown despite the lack of funding and short staffing. But the park hasnt made it through unscathed. According to the Website National parks travelers visitors are chopping down these beautiful unique trees reallying illegal roads and setting fires. The park superintendent also says visitors have left graffiti and gone off roading through this pristine desert. I find that shocking. What is the point of that . I dont know. Serves no purpose whatsoever. One of my favorite national parks. It is a beautiful sight. Another casualty of the shutdown. And for anybody out there saying the Government Shutdown doesnt matter, why do we need big deal, just who cares about tourists. Federal reserve chairman Jerome Powell says he is worried policymakers wont have a complete picture of the u. S. Economy if the shutdown continues. The Commerce Department is among the agencies swecht up ies swep shutdown. He says he effects to be seen clearly in the economic data. One of the agencies that is shut down is commerce which mass the bureau of Economic Analysis and Census Bureau and some of the pretty important data that we get is published by them and would not be published including retail sales and gdp and a bunch of other things coming up this month. So we would have a less clear picture into the economy if it were to go on much longer. And there is also a bunch of Agricultural Data that is really important. In the midst of a trade war where agricultural is right in the middle, these are important numbers to have and we will not have them. A fed spokesman told cnn that staffers will continue to draw from public and private day a take to guide policymakers. Powell has been under fire of course from the president over previous rate increases. He says that he has yet to receive an invitation by the way powell does by the white house for a meeting with the president. Michael cohen, president s former lawyer and fixer, will testify publicly before the House Oversight committee on february 7. Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison on multiple charges, including Campaign Finance crimes and lying to congress. He implicated the president in a scheme to pay hush money to two women claiming that they had affairs with then citizen trump. Here is what cohen told abc news in december. Im done with the lying. Im done being loyal to President Trump. I followed a bad path and hence how we started this conversation. I have my freedom. And i will not be the villain as i told you once before. I will not be the villain of his story. The House Intelligence Committee also wants cohen to testify behind closed doors about the russia investigation. Again, that behind the closed doors, not for the public to see. New developments in the russia investigation, turns out they interviewed Tony Fabrizio, trumps top polster in the campaign. He was also an exassociate of Paul Manafort. Evan perez has more. Reporter they interviewed Tony Fabrizio last year as part of the russia investigation.

Ronaldos attorney releasing this statement, mr.

Pompeo assured allies that there is, quote, no contradiction whatsoever on the shifting u. S. Strategy in syria. Those words come amid mounting confusion over the president s announced withdraw of u. S. Troops in the company. There is no contradiction whatsoever. This is a story made up by the media. And so it is possible to hold in your head the thought that we would withdraw our forces, our uniformed forces, from syria and continue americas crushing campaign. Ben wedeman is live in cairo this morning with the latest. Just to be clear, december 19, the president of the United States said our troops are coming home from syria now. He used that word, now. Ben, any confusion there . Reporter lots of confusion. Now according to u. S. Officials became 30 days and then 120 days. And we heard National Security adviser john bolton say at the beginning of this week that the precondition for the withdrawal of forces would be a turkish commitment not to attack the u. S. Backed kurdish fighters in northeastern syria. But we are hearing this morning from a spokesman for the u. S. Led coalition against isis that the process of withdrawing u. S. Forces from syria began today. And so, no, it is not at all clear at this point what the situation is. But it does appear that u. S. Forces are carrying out the orders of the president regardless of what his National Security adviser and his secretary of state are saying. So, no, dave, confusion continues. If there is no contradiction in the words of john ebola done, the words mean very little. Ben wedeman, thank you. 57 minutes past the hour. Lets get a check on cnn business this friday morning.
