After President Trumps temporary ban on immigrants and travelers from seven predominantly muslim nations. Lets get to our chief White House Correspondent jon karl with me in new york. This is a big setback for the white house and a decision that will outrage the president of the United States. Reporter tonight, a major defeat for the white house. That threejudge Appeals Panel deciding not to reinstate president s travel ban. A big setback for President Trump. [ chanting ] and set off chaos at airports hours after it went into effect. Families detained. Makeshift legal clinics set up. An iraqi translator for the u. S. Company sent away, and only allowed to come back after the state court put the travel ban on hold. I thought for my rights and i succeeded. Reporter President Trump started attacking the judges of the ninth Circuit Court before he issued their ruling. I was a good student. I comprehend things very well. Better than i think almost anybody. And i want to tell you, i listened to a bunch of stuff last night on television that was disgraceful. Reporter but lawyers for Washington State argued the president s executive order violated the constitution, and had done harm not just to the travelers from the affected of washington. Whats the harm to the state of washington . We had students and factualties who were stranded overseas and families that were separated. Reporter the white house argued that the president has the authority to impose the ban and that putting it on hold and downright dangerous. Believe me. I have learned a lot in the last two weeks. And terrorism is a far greater threat than the people of our country understand. All right. So lets get back to our chief White House Correspondent, jonathan karl. Are we hearing from this white house, and it would seem President Trump was taking aim before the decision. We are hearing from the Justice Department just now, david, saying, the Justice Department is reviewing this decision and considering its options. Youre right on this. You heard from the president of the United States as he heard the the oral arguments. He called them disgraceful. They wont be surprised by this, but they will be outraged by would know that the president has the authority to do this, and the court disagrees. Stay with us, because we want to bring in terry moran. The temporary ban will not be reinstated, terry, but what comes next . Reporter what comes next, david, is a trial. This whole argument was about whether or not that judge robart in washington did the right thing in calling a timeout. They said the judge did, so lets have a trial, and take a close look at the law, and the evidence. Who has been harmed . How important are the governments interests . And it will go on appeal again. This court said that President Trumps comments about how this is a muslim ban can be used as evidence that me may have had an intent to discriminate against muslims. That could be used as a constitutional argument. Terry moran, and jon karl. Thanks to you both. In the meantime, President Trump is pushing back against claims that his Supreme Court nominee, neil gorsuch said he was disheartened and demoralized by President Trumps words. He now says he was not referring to what the president said specifically. Even know though the judge and his spokesperson said he was. Cecilia vega with that part of the story tonight. Reporter on capitol hill today, Supreme Court nominee judge neil gorsuch asked about those reports that he criticized President Trumps attacks on judges as quote disheartening and demoralizing. Are you concerned about the president s attacks on the judiciary . No comment. Reporter but the president is talking. His comments were misrepresented. Reporter still, the democratic senator who went public with gorsuchs words after their private meeting, standing by his story to abcs mary bruce. Judge gorsuch told me and there were white house staff in the room that he d finds these attacks on the judiciary demoralizing and disheartening. Repter even gorsuchs own spokesman confirmed that the Supreme Court nominee was referring specifically to the president s recent statements, like his tweet mocking the federal judge who halted his travel ban, calling him a socalled judge, and comments like this. And i dont ever want to call a court biased, so i wont call it biased. And we havent had a decision yet. But courts seem to be so political. Reporter senators from both parties whove met with gorsuch say they heard him express the same dismay about the president. He got a little bit emotional and he said that any attack, or any criticism, of his brothers and sisters of the robe, is an attack or a criticism on everybody wearing the robe as a judge. Reporter but today, press secretary sean spicer, not backing down. Are you saying that demoralizing and disheartening was not specifically about the president s comments and what he said . And if so, how does the president the judge literally made it clear but three senators have come out and said that they corroborate the statement. Senator ayotte, who was there, made it very clear that he was commenting in general about attacks on the judiciary. That was it, plain and simple. Cecilia vega with us live from the white house, and cecilia, we know the president has reacted just moments ago to this decision by the Circuit Court say, see you in court. The security of our nation is at stake. But i want to get back to what you just reported about the comments from judge gorsuch. Many believe it could help his own battle for confirmation by creating a distance between himself and the president. Reporter thats why some people leave this gives him independence, but a senior white house official today tells me the white house wasot at all surprised the judge was asked about the president s comments at the committeeing on capitol hill, and one said they did not tell him how to answer these questions. Thank you. Meanwhile, a day after President Trump blasted a Department Store for dropping his daughters clothing line, his senior adviser, Kellyanne Conway, during a tv interview, urging shoppers, to, quote, go boy her stuff. The white house saying she was counselled about what she said said. Did conway break ethics rules and will she be punished . Congress asking for a review, and heres abcs tom llamas. Reporter tonight, one of President Trumps top advisors, Kellyanne Conway accused of violating federal ethics rules by promoting ivanka trumps fashion line on live tv. Go buy ivankas stuff, is what i would tell you. I hate shopping, and i will go buy some myself today. Reporter the sales pitch didnt stop there. Its a wonderful line. I own some of it. I fully im going to give a free commercial here. Go buy it today, everybody, you can find it online. Reporter federal ethics rules prohibit white house officials from, quote, endorsing any product, service or enterprise. Conways comments sparking a bipartisan outcry. And this response from the White House Press secretary. Kellyanne has been counseled. And thats all were going to go with. Shes been counseled on that subject. Thats it. Reporter but Republican House oversight chairman Jason Chaffetz still not satisfied. Hes demanding a full review from the office of government ethics, writing conways statements clearly violate the Ethical Principles for federal employees and are unacceptable. I want to make sure its dealt with swiftly, and completely and that this is not a routine pattern out of white house. Reporter the uproar comes just one day after President Trump attacked nordstrom for dropping ivanka trumps brand, tweeting my daughter ivanka has been treated so unfairly by nordstrom. That attack then retweeted from his official president ial account. Nordstrom stock dropping minutes later. Later rebounding. The store says it cut ties with ivankas brand because of declining sales. No comment on any of this from ivanka trump herself. She has formally resigned from her brand, but like her father she still maintains a financial connection. All right. So tom llamas with us here tonight. No comment from ivan karka, butt is the white house saying, and more importantly, Kellyanne Conway . He said that the white house understands was trying to defend and stick up for ivanka trump, but conway says the president told her he supports her, and in the trump white house, he is the only person that matters.
