Athena, thank you very much. As an expression, will what got you here get you there . The president s lack of transparency helped him during the campaign, but now it may be a problem. A lib rath ethics watch dog Group Planning to file a federal lawsuit against President Trump. It claims the president is violating the constitution by accepting illegal payments from Foreign Governments through his vast business ties. The president s lawyer denies the allegation saying trump has taken the necessary measures to avoid conflicts of interest. Lets bring in richard w. Painter, part of the legal team filing the suit and a former white house ethics lawyer under george w. Bush. Mr. Painter, always a pleasure. Good morning. Counsel, the pushback from the white house is basically twofold right now. One is, we did all the things that the law demands in terms of the president separating himself from business interests. And two, there are no em molements at play here as the constitution lays out because this is bartered for, the hotel room in exchange for the room, not a gift, not in exchange for his role asment. What are your points . Well, first of all, i want to make it clear, theres nothing liberal about this. There are millions like myself sicknd tired of Big Government and the concentration of wealth among a very few people who want to control our government and take away jobs from ordinary americans. Were not for Big Government and Government Spending and the rest of it. Millions of conservatives are sick and tired of corruption, and theres nothing liberal or conservative about this. What this is about is the president who has an enormous amount of wealth overseas, who promised to release his tax returns, clearly promised that over and over again, is refusing team. His spokes people now saying hes not going to release the tax returns. Furthermore, hes in violation of the constitution if hes receiving payments from overseas, from Foreign Governments or corporations controlled by Foreign Governments. This goes right back to the intent of the founders. What was the point of having a tea party and throwing king georges tea into Boston Harbor who is buying tea from keng george, whether or not its of fair market value, according to the trump organization. Thats not the rule. The rule is no benefits from Foreign Governments and companies controlled by Foreign Governments, no profits therefrom and weve been talking about this for months. Weve asked the president over andover again to solve the issue. He has refused to. Were tired of diddaling around with this. This is going to have to be resolved in court. He said he did resolve it. That was the big stack of papers he put in front of us all at his press conference. Second, they say this is not a lawsuit, this is a political argument. You dont have any standing, you havent been victimized, you have no damage. This is a political argument, not a lawsuit. Your response. First of all, whatever is in that stack of papers, he wouldnt let anyone take a look at it, just leak the tax returns. We have no idea whats in the envelopes. All we know is he has not divested himself of his business interest all over the globe. We have no idea where the financing is coming from with these business enterprises. We know he didnt pay back the american banks in the 1990s. He borrowed a lot of money overseas, we have no idea where from. The American People are entitled to know their president is complying with the constitution, and the prohibition is very clear. We cannot have any Foreign Government money coming to anyone holding a position of trust with the United States government. The consequences are dire. He is talking over and over again about buy american, america first. Hes going to renegotiate all these trade deals. Who do we negotiate with . Foreign governments. Theres money coming under the table from Foreign Governments to the president of the United States in violation of the constitution. We are fed up. Once again, this is not about liberals im conservative. Im sick of Big Government. I get you on that. That was our description of the group as it identified itself online. I take your criticism and push back on that. I would never have anything to do with a group identifying itself on liberal. If thats on that web page, thats going to go off pretty fast. I got you. I take you at your word on that. Why do you not take the white house at its word on its promise to turn over the taxes after the audit is over . Well, Kellyanne Con way, as soon as she takes off her 3600 gucci jacket from the inauguration, she starts talking about how hes not going to hand over tax returns. She says the position hasnt changed, that after the audit, we eeld turn it over. She was saying were not turning them over now because of the audit. Well, thats not what was said the first time. Whats going on with this audit . Why cant he turn them over . How about the prior years . Is every year under audit going back for how many years . I mean this is something that he promised to turn the tax returns over. It is time. And its also time to guarantee to the American People there is no money coming into this organization from Foreign Governments or corporations owned by Foreign Governments. Will the lawsuit stand, and why would it . Well, thats for the court to decide. Im not going to tall talk through the points that will be made to the judge. My point here is this is a critically important issue for the American People. Liberals rchls conservati liberals, conservatives, moderates. Our president was elected to comply with the constitution. Hes in violation of the constitution if hes receiving payments from Foreign Governments or corporations controlled by Foreign Governments. Its going to stop. One quick question for you. We only have a little time left. Youre an ethics expert. Let me ask you something. What is your definition of when it is correct to call something a lie . When its not true. When somebody says something thats not true. We have heard untruths over and over again in this campaign. If i say two plus two is five, thats not true. Maybe i did the math wrong. That doesnt show an intent to deceive. Thats not a lie. When do you call something a lie versus just being wrong . If youre intentionally lying to people or recklessly make up facts which has been going on over and over again. I used to fight with the left wingers in the academic world about this, where they talk about there being no objective truth and other crazy nonsense. Its amazing were getting this out of the white house. Were talking about alternative facts. What does that mean . That means lies, alternative facts, lies. The American People are not going to put up with it. Least of all are those of us who want small government, limited government going to put up with an enormous federal government that is lying to us, and the first week in the white house theyre talking about alternative facts. That is going to stop. Richard painter, thank you for making the case on new day. Appreciate it as always. Thank you. Alisyn . Chris, President Trump begins his first week in office with only two cabinet secretaries in place. That will likely change today when the senate votes on Rex Tillerson and mike pompeo.

The Senate Making movements on another one of Donald Trumps most controversial nominees, Rex Tillerson for secretary of state. The Senate ForeignRelations Committee will hold a vote today on his nomination. The last holdout republican senator marco rubio, he has not yet indicated how he will vote for tillerson, whether hell be a yes or no on his nomination.

The president and his top advisers blasting the media over reporting of the inaugurations crowds. While the president S Administration is defending their false claims about those crowds as alternative facts. Can President Trump focus on his agenda . Here to discuss, republican congressman steve king from iowa. Congressman, always good to have you. Im going to throw you a curveball. Well get to the politics of the situation, but lets talk about the basis of the fight on immigration. Because we know thats important to you and its going to be coming to you now, often marginalized to just being about a wall. But lets talk about the condition. The president has set a basis for what the problem is that defies the numbers. He has said millions of people get thrown out of here every year. There is nothing like that number anywhere in the Homeland Securitys report year over year over year, and he has said that theyre coming through the wall, theyre coming through this porous border. 95 of people they catch they catch at ports of entry. Can we agree on the facts . How do you see the problem . If youre going to say millions of people, you have to leave off the part every year. The cumulative effect are millions. He didnt say that. I understand that. But the peak of our illegal immigration, we were up to 4 million attempts a year by the Border Patrol. Thats part of the testimony in the hearing. Its important to cite that in a way, but its more objective to roll this thing down and understand this has slowed down over the last ten years, for economic reasons, lower birth rate in mexico reasons. Its also been accelerated with regard to the Illegal Drugs coming into america. 80 to 90 of the Illegal Drugs consumed in america come through mexico. You know and we learned in our documentary about el chapo that most of the drugs that come across the border go underneath it, not across the top of it. A wall would be a misapplication of a prophylactic. But for the president to say million every year and they dont get rid of any of the cals, you know 90 of the people they throw out are for crimes. We have to agree on the facts. Can we do that . I think a couple of them i dont agree with. I dont agree that high a percentage comes through the tunnel. Ive been down tlp to interdict. I have been there to help arrest people smuggling drugs into america, backpacking marijuana into the United States. Im not saying none come. Im not saying none. This is about the facts. To say you build a wall and well be fine, that is not really agreed with by many people in the Border Security business as im sure you know. Theyre not saying they dont need a wall, theyre saying the wall is not the answer. Id say this, the wall is the central intrastructural component that we need to build, and then the rest of it are things we need to add on as vibration sensors, sensors in the urban areas where they are tunnelling. Out in the open desert theyre not tunnelling like they do in the urban areas. They have to have ways to get rid of the dirt. Wed see that happen. We need cameras, night vision equipment, sensors. If we dont build a wall, they will continue coming across the desert and thats the way they bring in people that are criminals and are terrorists. You have those coming here that want a job in america. Thats part of it, too. If we dont build a wall, well have the mess we have today. Barack obama refused to secure this border because he called it prosecutorial discretion. Walls dont have prosecutorial discretion. President obama bad when it comes to immigration, thats your case. The numbers have gotten better year over year. To the extent more deportations are a good thing, hes done more deportations. It seems like theres a flawed premise here about the nature of the problem. Im not saying there is not a problem. But its not millions every year. Its hundreds of thousands, off by about 50 his number. The number has been going down during obamas tenure and theyve been throwing out more criminals. I just dont understand what the premise is here. Chris, i would say obamas focus on criminals and the most violent of criminals, thats a good and right thing. By the way, thats Donald Trumps focus as well. But obama changed the character characterization of deportation. We have a category called voluntary return. If theyre picked up at the border and agree to go back to mexico, we haul them back there, open the side door on the van and walk back to mexico. Thats an interesting metaphor that was mott the deportation under bush obama called it a deportation. The Homeland Security dhs releases at the end of 2016. Here is how they categorize it. You can, like the president , say this is all politicized and everybody is lying. An increasing percentage of those deported from the interior were convicted of serious crimes. Over 90 in 2016. Guess what the number was
