Welcome to the overnight news, im Elaine Quijano reporting from washington, d. C. It was a busy sunday for President Trumps new Communications Director. He made the round on the morning programs threatening to take drastic action to stop leaks to the press. The president s new messenger hired friday fielded question as but mr. Trumps soninlaw and Senior AdviserJared Kushner. He has meetings with congressional intelligence committees investigating the Trump Campaign relations with russia. Errol barnett is at the white house. If you are going to keep leaking i will fire everybody. Just very President Trumps appointed Communications Director hit the airwaves today promising to forcefully stop leaks and put the administration back on message. If the president operates off the balls of his feet. An aggressive guy, the reason why he won the presidency. And so, we are going to come up with a strategy that is going to knock peoples socks off. He also acknowledged mr. Trump has privately discussed president ial pardons but said they wont be necessary. He has done absolutely nothing wrong. No need for him to pardon anybody. Reporter the president s family and associates are facing increasing scrutiny as part of multiple investigations into potential collusion with russia during the election. Former campaign manager, pa ande all agreed to answer questions from congress. There is a great many questions we will have more mr. Kushner. Ranking democrat, adam schiff wonders why the president told the New York Times it would be a violation if the special counsel looked into his finances. The president is worried that bob mueller will be looking into allegations that the russian maze have laundered money through the trump organization. That is really something in my opinion he needs to look at. Reporter republican senator susan collins. I understand how difficult and frustrating this investigation is for the president , but he should not say anything further about the special counsel, his staff, or the investigation. Reporter on the legislative front, congress agreed to pass a sweeping sanctions bill against russia, for its role in election interference and the annexation of crimea. The bill would also require congressional approval for President Trump to lift or ease sanctions. Today the white house sent conflicting messages on whether the president intends to sign that bill. Elaine. Thanks, errol. Lets bring in chief washington correspondent and face the nation host john dickerson. John, what do we know about Anthony Scaramuccis approach to his new role . To be publicly warrior for the president and to say, that really nothing needs to be changed. Then how to change some things. And he clearly is just a booster for the president , thats part of what his role was in conversation. I think, then the real question will be, will he amplify the president s voice already pretty amplified in this presidency or take those moments where the president has interrupted his own agenda and keep the president from doing so. A lot of people have tried. Well see if the new Communications Director can do it. The president s soninlaw, Jared Kushner speaks with committees this week, donald trump jr. And former campaign chairman, paul manafort, speaking to Senate Investigators this week as well. What is at stake in the appearances . Whats at stake is the big and the little. So the big is obviously any new information related to connection with russians trying to interfere in the election if anything comes out along the lines, this is a huge blow. Now the question whether it will stay behind closed doors or leak. In the little what i mean is, there have been, lots of different stories on some of these things. At least four about the meeting with some one advertised as a russian government agent with the president s son. If there is a fifth version, or if there is a sixth version, then it, it goes to what is already a pretty damaged credibility on the part of the president and his entire campaign. Always new information kind of dribbling out. It may not be the big information, but it, lends to, this notion of, really, a lack of credibility. And that hurts the entire administration, not just on this investigation but on Everything Else theyre trying to do. John dickerson. Thank you so much.
