Ready to back trump. What hes saying is, look, i want to get there. I think i will get there, but i want to talk to donald trump, and i want to work with him. Reporter priebus, trying to explain why ryan and some in the Republican Party are so reluctant to back their new standard bearer. For some people, an endorsement is a full embrace, and so for some people it takes a little bit of time to get to a full embrace. Reporter the chairman, not promising 100 of the party will fall in line, but optimistic that there wont be a contested convention come july. The platform of our party will be written in cleveland, and i think youre going to get another very conservative platform out of our party. Reporter but not so fast. Trump firing back at ryan in a statement saying im not ready to support speaker ryans agenda. You know why its never trump . Because im going to stop the gravy train for all of these consultants and people. Reporter ryan making clear his focus is on one thing. Protecting the partys house majority. Something some analysts predict could be in jeopardy with a jump nomination. My focus this fall, is, has been and will be the house majority. Reporter and warning the fight for unity rests mostly on the shoulders of the nominee. I think what is necessary to make this work, for this to unify, is to actually take our principles and advance them, and thats what we want to see, saying were unified sdoesnt i fact unify us. Reporter they werent given a heads up by ryans team, and no shortages. This is no longer a donald trump versus Hillary Clinton issue. All eyes will also be on donald trump and Hillary Clinton. Phil, stick around. More questions and bring in political commentator and anchor from time news, and jackie kucini kucinich. Different from what he saids he had said, yes, i will get behind anybody in the Republican Party f. Trump is the nominee im going support whoever the republican nominee is and stand up for what i believe in as i do that. Were going to be able to present a unified front. Thats my anticipation, whoever the nominee is going to be. Were going to be able to work with whoever the nominee s. That was from a couple months ago. What happened . For one thing, he shaved his beard. Look, now its real. Right . Now weve got to put our cards on the table. Feels exactly right. Hes got a 30seat majority. While that might seem insurmountable, a lot of marginal seats in florida, texas, and some in upstate new york, and hes hearing from those states. It would be irresponsible for him to simply say, okay, im all aboard with trump. He can say whatever he wants, even if it trims my majority or puts it in danger. Its not that quite simple. Strikes me, either he didnt mean it when he said he would support the nominee when he said it as recent at february or didnt think deep down inside it would be donald trump. May be the more likely thing. Telling phil all along, they thought it was going to a contested convention. Jackie, i dont understand how this ends for paul ryan. Theyre meeting next week. What were trump do to win the paul ryan primary . All of a sudden not back the ban on mud lslims . Doesnt seem likely. Talking to republicans the last couple of days. A thought they didnt run for trumps nomination. Trump ran for the republican nomination. He nooeeds to start meeting the its trump, so probably not half way, but somewhere. Right now there is pushback within that party saying that trump really hasnt done that. He hasnt reached back at all. Hes just taken. So ryan, it seems, is kind of establishing that those negotiations. So, phil, youre in touch with the ryan people. What pound of flesh are they trying to extract . What deal what negotiation do they want . They havent been that specific yet, but i do think that the key issue here is, this is point of leverage for paul ryan. Think about where paul ryan is coming from here. The ideological standard of the party. Everything he has run, or presented, the last decade, donald trump has undercut. Whether its entitlements, elements of tax reform. Donald trump is running on the opposite agenda of paul ryan. What paul ryan is saying here is, look, we need to meet somewhere, as jackie said, maybe not in the middle. Quite a reach for donald trump, but give me something, give us something as party to run on. You have to protect all of these seats currently up for reelection. Paul ryan yesterday giving cover to the republican agenda, giving cover to republican officials up for reelection in november. 10 million republican voters, more than that, have gone to the polls. More than have ever voted for a republican primary nominee. What is the senior elected republican official telling them that he doesnt like their choice stay to them right now . I dont know if its, they who dont like his choice. Its more like, hes sort of playing a different kind of a game. Where its district by district. So if tons and tonss people come out in a normally red district, you dont want to alienate those people and saying a slap in the face to voters, what paul ryan just did. We all anticipated, john, we were going to see a contested convention. It was going to be noisy. Even talk about, well, there might be violence, demonstrations. Its playing out a little differently. First of all, the other candidates sort of went away. Its not going to be a contested convention, but it is going to be a contested process, and this is what it looks like. Youve got a Million People, your choice is somebody we think has to change, or else were all going to go down to defeat in november. So, jackie, there are these different camps. Now emerging. Including people who say theyre not going to go to the convention. Notable people. Mitt romney, obviously. Sort of notable. Notable. That bush 41 and 43 saying theyre sitting it out. That obviously sends john mccain. John mccain. But there are people who have now gotten aboard the trump train, including former governor and candidate rick perry. Sheldon adelson, who, of course, is, you know, a huge donor. Ill read what rick perry has said in his tepid endorsement. Hes not a perfect man, but what i do believe he loves this country and will surround himself with capable people and will listen to them. He wasnt my first choice. He wasnt my second choice, but he was the peoples choice. Hows this going to shake out . Fascinating. Its usually a party for the party and a show of unity. Were just not going to see that this year. Theres going to be absences. Thats going to be very notable Going Forward and well see how many how much this settles in and people change their mind. But when you talk about the two living republican president s saying, thanks, but no thanks. Its true. I mean, jeb bush did run and lose, and trump was brutal to him, but, still, it really is remarkable on this whole process to see these divisions play out, and it will be interesting to see how hard they continue to be. You know, is this a schism, phil, or a chasm now . Between, you know, the trump forces and the in the public school. Add an s. Did they teach chasm versus skim 101 . No. Interesting, one of the things paul rhine sayan said, one thin know about elections is that we dont know anything. What about it will hurt the down ballot folks . Talk to crossparty officials, talk to the rnc, the nrcc, if you talk to them, theyre being candid, theyre very concerned. They believe not unlike john mccain. When you look at the states, even members that werent considered vulnerable before the process are now expanding the map. Democrats are expanding the map. The dnc looking at the map given each other high fives. That drives what paul ryan did, maybe, more than republicans coming his way or wanted donald trump to come their way. Its protect mag jortmajorities. 31 governors from 20. 38 legislators. During the obama years the Republican Party advanced in a huge way everywhere except the white house. The concern across the party right now is, Donald Trumps candidacy threatens not just losing the white house once again but races up and down the ball ballot. We need to talk about Hillary Clinton as well. Stick around for that, please. And cnn learned Hillary Clinton will likely be interviewed in the next few weeks. Some of Hillary Clintons aides have already been questioned. Cnn justice correspondent pamela brown live from washington with the latest. Good morning, pamela. Reporter good morning to you, john. Thats right. The interview, the investigation has been ramping up, focused on the interview. Several people, in fact, in clintons inner circle have been brought in quietly to a room in the fbifilled office for those interviews. Her longtime confidant abedine is one of those people, and cooperating according to officials weve been speaking with with knowledge of the investigation. Now, the interviews were told are focused on whether classified information was mishandled and security of the server. So far officials tell us, no, there is no evidence of criminal wrongdoing at this point in the investigation, but, again, the investigation is not over. Although investigators, weve been speaking with, saying this should have never happened and even Hillary Clinton herself admitted it was a mistake to have a private server with her state department emails, but one of the most anticipated steps hasnt even taken place yet. Of course, that is the interview with Hillary Clinton and that is expected in the coming weeks. The Clinton Campaign released a statement saying from the start Hillary Clinton has offered to answer any questions that would help the Justice Department complete its review, and we hope and expect that anyone else who is asked would do the same. We are confident the review will conclude that nothing inappropriate happened. Now, there are logistical challenges, privately doing an interview with someone who is a potential president ial nominee, surrounded by secret service and the press corps, but john and alisyn, we expect the investigation to be wrapped up in the coming weeks. Back to you. Yes, all eyes on that clinton interview. Thanks so much, pamela. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton and Brernie Sanders laying off attacks on each other, instead unleashing on donald trump. Joe johns is live in washington with more. Good morning, joe. Reporter good morning, alisyn. Hillary clinton and Bernie Sanders campaigning on opposite sides of the country, but appearing to ease off a bit from the attacks on each other. Directing attention to the Presumptive Republican nominee donald trump. The democratic frontrunner, Hillary Clinton in california, accusing trump of doubling down on antiimmigrant rhetoric, casting doubt on his ability to moderate his positions on immigrants as he seeks to move closer to the center in anticipation of the general election. Listen. We have to recognize that the kind of language coming from donald trump is hateful, and we need to repudiate it. I think that a donald Trump Presidency would be a disaster for this country, and i intend to do everything that i can to see that that does not happen. Reporter Bernie Sanders, by the way, was campaigning in coal country in mcdowell county, West Virginia, highlighting his plans to alleviate poverty and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Also worth noting, protests at the Hillary Clinton rally in california were more vigorous than weve seen of late. She appeared to cut her remarks short just a bit. She also attended a couple fundraisers out on the west coast, and she is expected to attend a Campaign Rally in oakland, california, today. John . Skipping the actual states that vote in the next week, heading out to california right now. Joe johns, thank you very much.

As of now, cnn has been told by officials there is no evidence that Hillary Clinton willfully broke the law. To discuss more, jackie ckucin h kucinich, earle and Phil Mattingly. Let me play more what was said this week. Heres a person under investigation by the fbi. Shes only going to get the nomination because its a rigged deal. Maybe she will not be able to run. Maybe it will happen has shell be able to run. If the investigation wraps up and there are no charges does that mean, i ask facetiously, we will never hear from this again by the Republican Party . Does this issue just go away. Its hard to believe that would happen. Listen to donald trump. This plays into the message hes been using all along, which is the system is rigged, and this would not happen to a normal person. A normal person would not get off. I think youll hear various versions of that, as we go through. Say, okay, yeah. So they cleared Hillary Clinton. Well, thats because the system is rigged. And it loses some of its punch if, in fact, the fbi publicly comes out and says we found no inkaformation she willfully broke the law. Something definitive could work . For the clinton team, good news. The notion theyll actually get past it. For genuinely undecided voters, open to facts, this is probably also good to let them have some information to make a disbased on, but in the kangaroo courts of rightwing talk radio, for donald trump, for the Republican Party, i dont think it make as difference whatsoever. They have already convicted her, decided schae done something criminal and i dont think theyre talking points will change one bit based on whatever facts come out. Phil, interesting to hear, the secretary, may well be the democratic nominee, isnt yet, will have to testify, and answer to the fbi. Pamela said carefully organized worked out between the secret service and fbi, how that will happen. How will that happen . It will be a spectacle even if we dont see it. You dont want this happening in the middle of your campaign. What most Campaign Advisers would say. Not on the bucket list. For the Clinton Campaign and in largely the numbers you look at, baked in. Dealing with it ten months if not more. And the question they face and the one im intrigued to see how they answer, how do you address this publicly . They have tried a number of different ways. Whether going out after the convoluted classification system or in public interviews, anything like that. Do you just let it drop, because as erroll said, a segment of society that says its rigged and a group that doesnt care no matter what. She doesnt deal with it anymore, push it aside. Will that change . A moment she says, this serve 0er, done. Move past it. Time for people to trust me again . Thats the problem, jackie. Even if not found guilty of anything, they have been able to make hay with, look at her judgment. It shows bad judgment. That doesnt go away. Well, right. Because this has sort of been a drip, drip, drip situation, it has just sort of reiterated one of Hillary Clintons biggest weaknesses, and phil said it right theresthe trust issue. She hasnt been able to turn those numbers upsidedown this entire process. As we go into the general, you have to imagine thats going to be a big focus of the campaign. Just in general, what do you think the Clinton Campaign reaction is whats been happen over the last 24 hours on the republican side of the race with the paul ryan news . Everybody was talking before yesterday afternoon, donald trump cleared the field before Hillary Clinton. Now donald trump has a new issue in the field, and does that give Hillary Clinton extra space here . Erroll . You have some interesting language, i think, coming from Hillary Clinton. Where if you notice over the last couple of days they talked about a risky choice. A risky choice. They want to make it seem as if donald trump is somehow a loose cannon, the phrase she keeps can using. But when she says choice, i hear her talking to undecided voters, talking to swing voters, talking to independents. I hear her already sort of making rest of that pivot towards the general election trying to think about the map and trying to do some messaging and try to define donald trump in the minds of people who havent made up their minds yet. Its a small and shrinking group, but theyre going to be an important group. Phil, lets look at president obamas approval numbers, because this will have an affect on the election. Brand new numbers out this morning from cnn. Thank you very much for making that excellent poin
