campaign chairman, paul manafort, tried to cut a secret deal with a banker. let's get to it. first from the fox news deck, the president on guns. according to his spokesman, he's in a listening phase. the president says he's supports the idea of raising the minimum age to buy a gun. >> i say that it should all be at 21. we're not talking about money. we're talking about common sense. it's a great thing. the nra will back it and so will congress and so will the senate. >> shepard: not a proposal but a discussion. the nra so far is against it. yesterday a spokesperson released a statement that reads in party, legislative proposals that prevent law-abiding adults from acquiring rifles and shotguns 18-20 to prohibit them from purchasing a firearm robs them of their constitutional protection. again, discussion, not a formal proposal. raj shah said active shooter drills should be renamed because that label scares children. he suggests call active shooter drills safety drills. in addition, the president says he supports allowing teachers to be armed in school. more specifically, teachers and other staff members that have a military or law enforcement background or had special training. 20%, he suggested on twitter, in case as he wrote a savage sicko came to school in bad intentions. attacks would end, he wrote in all caps. >> we have to harden our schools, not soften them up. a gun-free zone to a killer is like going in for the ice cream. that's like here i am, take me. >> shepard: going in for the ice cream. on the heels of the massacre in parkland, florida, allow teachers and others in schools to be armed and the attacks would end. that from the president. the nra has long advocated this. the president tweeted today folks at the nra are great people and great patriots. they love our people and will do the right thing. make america great again. an audit shows the nra gave $30 million to the trump campaign, more than it gave to all politicians combined in the 2008 and 2012 presidential election cycles. john roberts is live on the north lawn. john? >> we watched the entire meeting that the president had with state and local officials, attorney generals from indiana and florida, the mayor of parkland is there as well. the president being forceful on this idea that schools are soft targets that the idea of gun-free zones is, as the president put it, nonsense and that things need to change and he believes and he said this repeatedly, probably spent 15 minutes or more in total on this issue. the way to address it, as you said, ensure that certain qualified individuals are on the school staff. they could be teachers, could be administrative staff. he said yesterday could be janitors, licensed to carry a concealed weapon and train how to use it in an aggressive situation where you'd have to be defending against a shooter. listen to what the president said. >> i think a concealed permit for having teachers and letting people know that there are people in the building with a gun, you won't have -- in my opinion, you won't have the shootings. these people are cowards. they're not going to walk into a school if 20% of the teachers have guns. maybe 10% or 40%. >> that kind of echos the president's position with what wayne lapierre said today at cpac. he said he believes one of the best ways to stop a bad person with a good is to have a good person with a gun. if you were to try to get this broadly in schools across america because the president said maybe you could have 20% of school personnel armed, that would be 70 -- owe more than 700,000 people. and talking about giving them bonuses to get the weapons and do the training, how you would pay for that. there's a reaction to this which so far has been overwhelmingly negative. many people in this country that believe the last thing that you need to address school shootings is to put more weapons in schools. so i asked the acting press secretary about that minutes ago. >> in order for something like that to be effective, you'd have to get buy-in from many school boards across the country. >> of course. >> so far much of the reaction has been negative. does the president expect he can get enough buy-in in order to send a signal to potential shooters that this is a hardened facility -- >> there's a lot of individuals, leaders in congress, the nra has been supportive of this idea. the notion that trained individuals that work within schools that have firearms and can serve as a deterrent and keep communities and schools safe. >> there's a handful of schools across the nation in which there's certain personnel that do have weapons in the school. a lot of schools have what are called resource officers. some local law enforcement sheriffs, local police departments have offered training to teachers that want to carry a weapon to school. so far it's a very, very small percentage of educational facilities that have this, shep. what the president is talking about is much larger scale than that. >> shepard: raj shah said this is a listening phase. did he mention something else besides arming teachers? >> he talked about a number of things. you pointed out raising the age. the president sort of laid out where he stands on this in a tweet this morning where he said "i will strongly push comprehensive background checks with an emphasis on mental health raise age to 21 and end sale of bump stocks. congress is in a mood to finally do something on this issue." adding the caveat there at the end "i hope." his benefactors at the nra as you pointed out the amount of money they gave to the trump campaign in 2016, they're not in a mood to raise the minimum age. i talked with jennifer baker, spokeswoman for the nra. i said has anything changed with your position since you put out this statement? she said no. we stand firmly opposed to raising the age. here's part of the statement they put out. passing a law that makes it illegal for a 20-year-old to purchase a shotgun for hunting or an adult single mother from purchasing a firearm for safety punishes them. it may be the president can talk to the leadership of the nra into this. the president mentioned that he talked with chris cox, who was the leader of the political wing of the nra over the weekend. so far the nra is sticking by its position, shep, that any rise in the age. on the federal level, to buy a handgun, you have to be 21, 18 to buy a long gun. there's a patch work of regulations across the states as well. in some states like massachusetts, you only have to be 15 with your parents consent to possess a long rifle. that would include an assault rifle, shep. so the president may find himself in a position of advocacy and may not be possible to change the federal laws in any kind of effective way that would create a national standard. >> shepard: it was quite a thing to hear a president advocating that. it was interesting to hear raj shah talk about security clearances. the chief of staff said if we get your security clearance in june of last year and you don't have it yet, you have to get off the classified list. that's supposed to happen tomorrow. raj shah wouldn't talk about it or give us numbers. >> and that memo was put out by john kelly. anybody whose clearance was submitted prior to or by june 1 would have their interim clearance revoked. he didn't say they would lose their job. but for people that deal with classified information, if you can't read classified information, you can't effective will do your job. raj shah not going down the road how many people this would effect when it takes hold. listen here. >> i can't get into the specifics regarding individual security clearances or numbers or what you're asking me. i can say the memo outlined a series of reforms that in the wake of the situation involving rob porter that we can do to ensure the security clearance process is tightened up. some of these things the chief of the staff had taken action on months ago. there are -- these are steps that will apply to all white house informations. >> again, we don't know the exact number of individuals, but we're lead to believe it's somewhere between 10 and 30 who are at risk of losing their interim clearance. one person that is not at risk of losing interim clearance is jared kushner. we understand because he had to amend his sf-86 application form for security clearance a number of times because there were omissions, that wasn't submitted until after june 1. this five-page memorandum, the chief of staff john kelly said he would re-visit this on a monthly basis. so may be, shep, if jared kushner doesn't get his full security clearance and we don't know what phase of the process that is in right now, he may not be out of the woods. >> shepard: thanks, john roberts. fascinating. thank you. remember the context on this because it's important. jared kushner submitted his application and did not include 100 contacts with foreigners. then later had to go back and include them, but that later he did not include the meeting in trump tower with the russian lawyer and the russian translator. he didn't include that. so that was another amendment to this thing. that took him passed june. so jared kushner is good to go. let's bring in alaina train from axios. it was widely thought at the beginning when he said anybody that started planning this before june or anybody that started the process before june, it was widely believed that would include jared kushner. but because of the revision, it won't include him. >> that's right. and essentially jared kushner has been very key to the white house, especially when you look at the middle east peace negotiations they're trying to work through now. something like losing your access to that classified information could definitely affect him. from the start, ever since john kelly put forth this memo to tighten the clearances and who has access to classified information from the fallout of rob porter, they said jared kushner would not be affected. >> shepard: but we didn't know why then, right? we didn't know how he would be affected. >> we didn't. >> shepard: how did they inform you of this reason? >> inform me of the reason -- >> shepard: how did everybody learn here's why jared kushner wouldn't be affected. at the beginning when he filled out his thing, he left out more than 100 contacts with foreigners that were supposed to be there. an omission for most people when you fill out and fs-86 can be a crime punishable by prison. not in this case but can be. >> exactly. what happened here, there's a lot that had to be revised, sent back. we saw this with the trump tower meeting originally. a lot of foreign entities were not on the list and he had to resubmit it following the meeting. there were more people he had to add. that's what the white house is saying they're looking to right now. the number of times that jared kushner sent in something like this to inform them who his contacts have been or showing as evidence for them to say he's okay right now. he still has access for the information he needs to do his job. >> shepard: what the axios reporting on the president's idea of arming some teachers, some administrators? i think he mentioned a janitor, up to 40% of them once trained and then the president put it the attacks would stop. >> as we have seen, he brought forth this idea a couple times now. he's doubled down on it but tripled down on it on arming teachers. it's been pretty unpopular from what we've seen. others think trump says this now, he might say this and push for this. it's unclear whether something like this would happen. raj shah said they're just in the listening phase. they're not pushing any real legislation right now. the idea that teachers could be armed, bringing more guns into school rather than trying to get rid of more guns and things like that i think has really disturbed some teachers from our reporting. nor the white house, they haven't come for any policy on that. trump is sticking by that statement. >> shepard: so for now, this is listening and discussing. has no attachment to reality and no suggestion it would? >> not yet. some of the other things he has made lead to that. probably more so than the idea of arming teachers. but you're right. there's no policy attachment. >> alayna treene good talking to you. >> thanks, shep. >> shepard: one of the president's advisers said some of the president's staffers are lying about their contacts with russians. there's word that robert mueller is looking at millions in loans to a former trump campaign chairman. that's next. smile dad. i take medication for high blood pressure and cholesterol.

president trump's former campaign chairman promised a white house job to a banker in exchange for millions in home loans. paul manafort faces money laundering charges and conspiracy. now according to multiple reports, the special counsel and federal prosecutors are also investigating paul manafort's dealing with a man name steve caulk. caulk was part of candidate trump's economic advisory panel. he did not get a job in the white house. the "wall street journal" reports a spokes map for paul manafort said he doesn't comment on rumors. fox news and the "wall street journal" share common ownership. the banker has not commented on this latest reporting. but he is -- has said in the paul that the loans were not related to his work with the campaign. one of president's trump's earlier campaign advisers meeting with the special counsel's office today. that adviser has accused top trump officials including the vice president of lying about contacts with russians during the campaign. our chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge is live on capitol hill. tell us about this former adviser. >> sam nunberg worked with the campaign a year before the election. so the social counsel's office is not commenting on the interview or its substance. nunberg is important because he was let go from the president's team in august of 2015 after a media report about racially charged posts on his facebook page. he was prominent in the michael wolfe book about the administration's first few months. and on another network, nunberg took fire against paul manafort and john kelly saying that they absolutely met with russian officials. >> i have never met paul manafort. i respect him. that doesn't mean i respect kelly ann or the vice president. >> he worked close with steve bannon after he left the white house in a rather dramatic fashion, shep. >> shepard: we're also learning more about the special counsel's cause about paul manafort. >> the document remains under seal. we talked about it yesterday. a source said the new charge relates to bank fraud. as a result, the special counsel will likely seek to change or increase manafort's bail. manafort was charged with money laundering and the allegations are unfounded. the allegations also center on a number of his properties and there was more back and forth today over the value of those properties because they are being used as collateral in the court case. the judge here in washington has rejected the current valuations. the same judge has been criticized by those close to manafort for keeping so many of the court records under seal as she has in this most recent case. >> shepard: catherine herridge in d.c. thanks. >> you're welcome. >> shepard: more on the russian investigation after the commercial and a campaign adviser that is meeting with the special counsel today. we'll hear from a.b. stoddard that says this guy could have information about the president's trip to russia for the miss universe pageant. that is coming up. liberty mutual stood with me when this guy got a flat tire in the middle of the night, so he got home safe. yeah, my dad says our insurance doesn't have that. what?! you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance. >> shepard: more on the russia investigation, including word that one of the president's campaign advisers is meeting with the special counsel's investigators. let's bring in a.b. stoddard from real clear politics. hello, my friend. >> hi, shep. >> shepard: where is this now? we talk about peeling an onion or licks to the center of the tootsie roll. they go around the outside to get to the middle. >> yeah, it's interesting. there are reports that sam nunberg has been told that he's not a target but the special counsel is interested to talking to him. you know, the special counsel has not been leaking. sometimes lawyers to these witnesses have let people in the press know what the line of questioning amounted to. >> shepard: what is it? >> there's reporting that sam nunberg was with donald trump for many years, five years between 2011 and 2016. close to the president as he was trying to build a premise for his candidacy. nunberg spent most of 2013 listening to thousands of hours coming up with a message that donald trump could use to appeal to the republican base. he was close to him. and reportedly looking more at this trip to moscow for the miss universe pageant in 2013 when president -- then donald trump wondered on twitter whether vladimir putin would attend, whether or not they would become best friends. he boasted many of the oligarchs were there. >> shepard: and you would offer a plea deal? how does this work? >> fortunately, i haven't been called before a special counsel. i don't know how it works. but they're asking him for information. they expect him to be forthcoming. the only thing he could be legally liable for is lying to the fbi. >> shepard: the other thing they're working on are the loans to paul manafort. sounds like what they're investigating if paul manafort got these millions in loans which happened immediately after he was out of the white house. he set up a new llc and got big blocks of money from this one bank in chicago. not a massive bank but a small bank like a lot of their percentage of their money came to hem and say did you get that because you promised a guy a job in the white louis. >> stephen caulk was looking to be secretary of the army. potentially providing the loans to paul manafort who has no end of law -- legal infractions or law breaking as mueller is turning after after the election. perhaps in exchange for a job that paul manafort could help him get the secretary of the army position in the trump administration. there's so many new wrinkles in the case that mueller is amassing against manafort almost on a regular basis. obviously the speculation last week that they came up with a filing to the court about bank fraud. there was a sealed charge now that is pending. perhaps a former deputy campaign adviser that might have flipped on paul manafort. and then perhaps the quid pro quo of the bank in chicago. it's clear that mueller is trying to build pressure on manafort, that he's going to slap him with infractions or try to flip him to provide information closer to president trumps that manafort has thus far provided. >> very interesting, a.b. nice to see you. >> good to see you. >> shepard: new details from florida about the moment that police were trying to catch the school shooting suspect after the attack and what fbi officials now say about their own failure to act on a tip before that attack. plus, you heard how president trump is pushing to arm trained teachers with guns. all attacks would stop, he wrote. we'll take you to a school where there are guns in school. around the school in safes. our correspondent will show you how it works. that's after the commercial

conference today, david bowdich admitted the proper procedures were in place but the fbi did not follow them. >> there was a mistake made. we know that. but it's our job to make sure that we do everything in our power to ensure that does not happen again. i'm not making excuses. what happened was a tragedy. >> meantime, the police trying to catch the suspect during the shooting say a delay in the school's security cameras slowed them down. he was 20 minutes behind and nobody told them. that's what the coral springs police chief told the south florida sun sentinel and newspaper. he said the video showed the suspect was in the building when he had actually gone. it was as if the dvr had paused and they were 20 minutes behind. the chief said the camera did not slow down the response to the injured students and teachers. steve harrigan is live in parkland, florida. steve? >> shepard, more details emerging in the chaotic minutes after the shooting began last week and the videotaped security system may have contributed to some confusion. apparently the tapes were on delay by 20 minutes creating some confusion for some of the first responding officers that were concerned that the shooter might still have been in the building on the third floor, taking off his vest, dropping his weapon when the shooter left the building. questions being raised also about the performance of the single security officer that was here at this 45 acre school center. he was the only one there. he was armed and he did not fire a single shot. so the question is being raised whether or not the security officer actually made contact with the shooter, shepard. >> shepard: i understand teachers and faculty are coming back to the building tomorrow? >> the teachers come back today. the students come back for a half day tuesday. some things will be different. building 12 where the 900 freshmen were taught, that's where the shooting took place. that will still be closed. they've come up with a plan for lawmakers to tear down that building and rebuild it at a cost of $28 million. that would include $500,000 for a memorial thing. one thing also different, the security officers that guard the schools will now be carrying rifles. shepard? >> steve harrigan at the school. as i reported earlieearlier, prt trump said he's supports arming teachers and other school officials including janitors with guns as long as they are military or special training. he said they would be experts and could fire as he put it, a savage sicko came to school with bad intentions. attacks would end, he tweeted in all caps. some critics say armed teachers would make classrooms more dangerous and they're questioning how it would prevent school shootings. in ohio, some districts are putting the idea of sorts to the test. our matt finn with sydney middle school about 70 miles north and west of columbus to see what they're doing, matt? >> at these schools, there's a confidential team of teachers and staff that are trained to fire back in the event of an active shooter. it's called an armed response team. the school conceal the guns in hiding them in safes throughout the campus and only members of the active response team can open those safes. each person is vetted by the district, must have a license to carry and go through what the district calls rigorous monthly training equivalent to a police officer. the superintendent said his realized his school were unprepared while watching sandy hook. some of the students we talked to agree with their teachers being armed. >> people can complain about it now, but if there was a shooter in the school and someone stopped him, i don't think there would be any complaints. >> the program is not without controversy. some members of the teacher's union and the police union opposed arming teachers and there's parents against it, even the police chief is concerned more people with guns on scene can confuse first responders. here's what they had to say. >> there's a lot of pressure on teachers already. we have to get the kids to college, get them ready for life. >> take away the possibility of one orb two people with guns to six or seven people with guns without having assurance who is the good buy or the bad guy. >> the state of ohio has set aside some taxpayer dollars to assist schools that want to enact similar plans. >> shepard:

scam artists that preyed on and targeted seniors through the mail with fake investment plans and even identity theft. before the cameras today, one woman said she and her husband were driving hundreds

would go to bed at night asking god, how can i pay for the gas to drive my husband and i to radiation therapy in the morning. >> this must never be tolerated on our seniors. >> jeff sessions went on to say this is just the beginning. he will use the full weight of the justice department to pros cute and punish these criminals. he says this is the tip of the iceberg, shep. >> shepard: not just limited to the united states? >> that's right. the cases span the globe. there's cooperation from international law enforcement agencies. take a look at this map. this is one example, one single fraud scheme. the green shows the countries with the u.s. victims and the red shows where there was activity of false schemes. most of the cases were in the united states and canada, but also as far away as australia. the criminals used u.s. mail and u.s. addresses to make their schemes see more legitimate. while most of the cases involve fraudulent organizations, others involve families of the seniors.

made the announcement today. billy graham will be the first religious leader to receive this honor. throughout his life, he served as a spiritual adviser to dozen consecutive u.s. presidents and its estimated that he preached in person to more than 210 million people around the world. a private funeral is planned for march 2. when you win the election, you get to redraw the districts. it's supposed to be fair. republicans redrew the districts. a court said we're changing this. republicans in pennsylvania are asking the u.s. supreme court now to block the new congressional map which the state supreme court drew up and released last week. gop leaders from the state legislature filed an emergency appeal last night saying that the new map favors the democrats. it would replace this thing, which some are calling goofy kicking donald duck. you can see, there's goofy on the left, donald duck on the right. here's the entire thing. here it is. the pennsylvania supreme court drew this map out claiming republicans illegally gerrymandered it in 2011. democrats do it, republicans do it but this time a little too goofy. laura has more. >> yeah, top republican lawmakers in pennsylvania are asking the nation's highest court to intervene. they want them to get involved. you explain why. we have more detail for you. they're arguing the democrat-controlled state supreme court has overstepped its authority by imposing this new map which they say will unfairly handicap the gop in the swing state. writing in court documents, on the emergency application, the pennsylvania supreme court conspicuously prevented any meaningful ability for the legislature to enact a meaningful map to ensure a court-drawn map. a state supreme court threw out the republican crafted man that was considered by many saying it violated the state's constitutions guarantee of free and equal elections. observers say the new map announced this week on monday will give democrat as boost in winning control of the house of representatives. listen. >> we're not even arguing whether the maps were fair or not fair. we're saying that this is a blatant power grab by a supreme court that is hell bent on drawing more democratic seats. all pennsylvanians should be worried about this. >> both sides do it. >> right. >> shepard: they've done it since beginning. if you let them do it, they'll all do it. this time the house they think is going to be close and if you flip pennsylvania to more of the population because there's more democrats than republicans that could flip the whole house. they think this will hold, this new map? >> it's interesting. we looked at what the nation's supreme court is doing in wisconsin and north carolina. hearing those cases now. but as far as if this will work, many say it's pretty unlikely. experts agree that republicans face an uphill battle. >> the last time republicans went to the supreme court, justice alito denied the petition, which is extraordinary. it's hard to understand why republicans think they have a better shot this time. >> so the way it stands now, constituent and candidates are waiting to see which districts they'll be voting and running in coming up on the primary may 15. >> shepard: if you win around the census, you get to redraw the districts. >> it's interesting how it works. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> shepard: great to see you.
