Pelley even with control of the house, the senate, and the white house, the republicans today could not muster the votes to repeal and replace obamacare. The house was scheduled to vote on what the president had called our Wonderful Health care bill. But too many republicans did not see the bill the same way. So rather than go down in public defeat, the speaker of the house put off the vote, at least until tomorrow. Mr. Trump, whose selfpromotion as a negotiator was chronicled in his book the art of the deal, has so far not had the political skill or capital to move the members of his own party. Chip reid begins our coverage. Reporter at the white house this morning, President Trump got a standing ovation from more than 30 members of the Freedom Caucus, the most conservative group in the house. White House Press Secretary sean spicer insisted the Health Care Vote would happen today. Its going to pass. Thats it. Reporter but after congressman justin amash and other Freedom Caucus members returned to the capitol, the positive tone had disappeared. I dont think there can be a vote tonight because they dont have the votes. Reporter so what happened . Well, the president did agree to the caucuss request to reduce the cost of health care by dropping the obamacare requirement that Insurance Companies cover essential health services, including hospitalization, maternity care, prescription drugs, and Mental Health and Substance Abuse services, but the Freedom Caucus said thats not enough. It wants the bill to do much more to repeal obamacare. Without their support, Republican Leaders had no choice but to postpone the vote. At about the same time, President Trump was still saying the vote was on. Today the house is voting to repeal and replace the disaster known as obamacare. Well see what happens. Its going to be a very close vote. Reporter late today, the chairman of the Freedom Caucus says hes hoping for consensus but admitted hes still not on board and said theres a long way to go. We are trying to get another 30 to 40 votes that are currently in the no category to yes. Once we do that, i think we can move forward with passing it on the house floor. Reporter House Republicans hope theyll have the votes by tomorrow morning, but, scott, even if they do, by moving the bill to the right, theyve made the job of getting it through the more closely divided senate even tougher. Pelley chip reid on capitol hill. Chip, thank you. Well, it was more than a month ago that mr. Trump said the Obamacare Repeal was moving fast. His boasting and tendency to believe conspiracy theories have led to a deficit of credibility, and heres Margaret Brennan. In this journey, i will never lie to you. Reporter since the campaign, President Trump has presented himself as the last honest man in washington, but a recent quinnipiac poll shows that his unsubstantiated wiretapping claims have been damaging. 60 of voters do in the believe that he is honest, and 39 of republicans do in the believe his allegation that former president Obama Wiretapped trump tower. Its a claim that the f. B. I. , n. S. A. , and House Intelligence Committee chair devin nunes, a republican, have said is false. That did not happen. Reporter the president has made other allegations without evidence, claiming widespread voter fraud and an his or theically high murder rate. The claims led the conservativeleaning editorial page of the wall street journal to warn that mr. Trump is causing damage to his presidency with his seemingly endless stream of exaggeration, evidencefree accusation, implausible denials, and other falsehoods. In his signature become the art of the deal, published 30 years ago, mr. Trump referred to his style as truthful hyperbole, an innocent form of exaggeration and a very effective form of promotion, but that style may not be effective in the white house. Republican senator lindsey graham. You have the highest official in the land, the president of the united states, accusing his predecessor of illegal activity with no evidence, that hurts our democracy. Reporter scott, in an interview with Time Magazine, President Trump dismissed concerns about his truthfulness, telling the reporter, i cant be doing so badly, because im president and youre not. Pelley Margaret Brennan at the white house for us. Also in that interview with Time Magazine today, mr. Trump said, i tend to be right. Im an instinctual person. I happen to be a person that knows how life works. And the truth is, a lot of voters agree. Dean reynolds is listening to the people. Reporter it would be hard to find more Federal Reserve nt Trump Supporters than corky haynes and barbara wyllie. We love playing the our flag. Reporter well, how do you think the president is doing 60 days into his presidency many. Fabulous. Reporter the tweets. They dont want to get a nasty tweet. Reporter the bragging. The this is going to be the fantastic. Reporter the fights with the media. You are fake news. Ive been saying this for years, its finally exciting to have someone call them out on it. Reporter the two sun city grandmothers are among what the polls identify as the 30 or 40 of the country that formed the trump base, and for the record, they dont believe the polls either. They said he wouldnt win election. Why would any commonsense thinking person put any stock in the polls today . Reporter as for the Health Care Bill opposed by Congressional Republicans and supported by the president that could cause millions to lose coverage. I think whatever plan they come up with is going to be a plan that works for all the people. Reporter obamacare premiums here have risen by 116 , exhibit a in the trump administrations argument for repeal. But the current house bill to replace obamacare could have dire consequences for arizona, with estimates that 380,000 people could lose medicaid coverage if that bill becomes law. Republican state representative Heather Carter is concerned about what that could mean for her state. Weve seen what happens in arizona when people dont have Health Insurance and they show up in the emergency room for their care. Its disaster. Reporter she supported the expansion of medicaid that was part of obamacare and says that part of the law should stay. Im happy to see there are republicans back in d. C. Who are taking the time to understand the implications of this policy on their constituents. Reporter and thats what we heard from many Trump Supporters here, scott. They all want the Republican Congress to do the right thing on health care, but take more time to do it. Pelley Dean Reynolds listening to the people. Dean, thank you very much. The f. B. I. And congress are investigating whether members of the Trump Campaign colluded with russia to sway the election. No evidence of that has been made public, and no one has been charged with any crime. One potential witness is a former British Intelligence officer hired by trump opponents to find dirt on him in russia. He wrote a report of unsubstantiated claims that is now getting new scrutiny. Heres jeff pegues. Im really pleased to be back here working again. Reporter Christopher Steele emerged from hiding earlier this month after the dossier he compiled about thencandidate trumps association was leaked in january. Its all fake news. Its phony stuff. It didnt happen. Reporter despite the president s dismissals of the dossier, sources say it is gaining increasing credibility in both the Intelligence Community and congress. Adam schiff is the top democrat on the House Intelligence Committee. Also according to steeles russian sources, the campaign has offered documents damaging to hillary clinton. Reporter now democrats want to call steele to testify about his allegations that donald trump and his associates had business dealings with russian officials. Congressman jim himes. It gets to something we dont talk a lot about, which is really important, do the russians have some fort of leverage on President Trump, financial or otherwise . I briefed the president on the concerns that i had. Reporter the committees investigation was thrown into disarray yesterday when republican chairman devin nunes announced that he had seen legal Foreign Surveillance that involved members of the trump transition team. He angered democrats by first briefing the media and mr. Trump. Today he apologized to the committee. At the end of the day sometimes you make the right decision, sometimes you make the wrong one, but you have to stick by the decisions you make. Reporter getting steele to testify will take more than just democratic support. Scott, Committee Republicans would have to back the idea, as well. After that there is the possibility steele wont want to appear. Pelley jeff pegues in our washington newsroom.
