Republicans are celebrating their first breakthrough in the fight to repeal and replace obama care. Everyone says this will not be popular. It was a big victory for the president. Republicans came together two days ago and it was like magic. Magic, lie tby the way, now peoples best option for medical care. Welcome to the weekend, everyone, im Anthony Mason along with alex wagner. We begin this morning with an apparent hacking attack thats threatening to disrupt the highstakes president ial election in france. An election that could effect all of europe. The campaign of centrist Emmanuel Macron claims its suffered a massive and coordinated 11thhour cyber attack with leaked documents designed to destabilize tomorrows runoff election. Macron holds a large lead far right opponent marine le pen. It is prompting frances Election Commission to hold an emergency meeting today. Mark phillips has more from paris. Mark, good morning. Reporter good morning. Well, there are a lot of issues around this hack, including, of course, who did it and why. The timing is very curious. It comes at a point here where campaigning has officially stopped and so has the reporting on it. The French Electoral Commission says, in fact, that any reporting on the details of the documents in the hack could be illegal. It was the campaign of Emmanuel Macron, whos well ahead in the opinion polls going into this vote, which released news of what it called a major hack into its communications late last night. It said the documents were regular campaign communication, including financial information. But also said fake documents were inserted into the list by the hackers. Links from w lists of documents, but whatever is in them may have limited, if any, influence on the Election Results because of the official news blackout. All campaigning and coverage ceases in france a day ahead of the vote in what is supposed to be a period of reflection for the voters. But the Macron Campaign is clearly furious. It called the hack an attempt to destabilize democracy. I accept your nomination reporter and compares it to the accusation of russian hacking on the Clinton Campaign during last years u. S. Election. Suspicion here too falls on the russians and a possible attempt to benefit the faltering campaign of marine le pen, who was jeered out of one of her own rallies yesterday. Le pen, the rightwing antiimmigration candidate is known to be less hostile to the kremlin. She even met with Vladimir Putin during the campaign and has received Campaign Funding from a russian bank. Maybe the election will produce a surprise, she says. Surprise to overcome the 20 gap by which shes trailing going into tomorrows vote. Still, with neither of the two remaining candidates coming from the established political parties, the selection has already produced a surprise. There are a lot of parallels between the election here and the one in the u. S. Last year. Two outsiders as candidates, allegations of fake news, and now, of course, this hacking. In the end, alex, of course there will be an upstart as president of france. Mark phillips in paris. Thanks, mark. There are new questions this morning about reservations the Trump Transition Team had with the president s former National Security advisor, michael flynn. Flynn resigned from the post after he was caught misleading the administration about his contacts with the russian government. We are now learning that last november the Trump Transition Team asked the Obama White House for the classified cia profile of russias u. S. They seemed concerned about the ambassadors contacts with flynn. A Senate Committee investigating russian interference with last years election has asked flynn for information related to its investigation. President trump is spending the weekend away from the white house savoring his first success in the repeal of obama care. The house managed to pass a bill to replace the Affordable Care act this week by a margin of just four votes. But the bills future is in doubt as Senate Republicans are crafting their own version of the measure, Errol Barnett is traveling with the president in new jersey. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Yes, President Trump is continuing a long weekend at his bedminst bedminster, new jersey, Golf Property after finally scoring a legislative win. The house passage on thursday now gives the administration an achievement it can point to, even though the effort to fully repeal and replace obamacare is far from on thursday, the house voted to repeal one of the worst jobkilling laws of all. Its called obamacare. Perhaps youve heard of it. The bill is passed and without objection the motion to reconsider is laid upon the table. Reporter the celebration was sweet but short for the president and gop house members who passed the American Health care act. After a rose garden ceremony, mr. Trump left washington and the house began its weeklong break. That leaves the bill in the hands of a skeptical senate. There the bills path is expected to be rocky. The total cost of the house bill is still unknown and a working group of 13 senators, all men, has already been formed to make changes. White house spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee sanders said the president will not rush the senate. Again, this is a process. We havent put a timeline or a deadline. We want to get it right, not get it fast and thats the focus. Reporter one big issue for the senate, the gop plan includes sweeping changes to medicaid. It would put caps on medicaid funding starting in 2020 and stop payments to obamacares expansion of medicaid to people just above the poverty line. This would leave the 31 states and the district of columbia that participated in the Medicaid Expansion to fund the coverage themselves, cut benefits, or cut enrollment. President trump has also drawn criticism for this comment made thursday while meeting with australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull in new york. I shouldnt say this to this great gentleman and our friend from australia because you have Better Health care than we do. Trump repeated his admiration on friday writing, of course the australians have Better Health care than we do. Everybody does. Now, back to the senate, the republican majority body could pass its version of Health Care Reform without any support from democrats through a process but that process could take time, as the details are ironed out, and as Many Republican senators envision major changes of their own. Anthony. Errol barnett with the were joined by jamel. Y. Good morning. Good morning. Two weeks ago the Health Care Bill looked dead. So what happened between the Trump Administration and House Republicans . I think the administration put a lot of pressure on House Republicans to get something done. There was already a path available. Basically if you could satisfy the demands of the most conservative members of the house, the freedom caucus, you might get all their votes and peel a few moderates off and thats basically what happened. The moderates are theoretically the ones most in danger in 2018. The Congressional Budget Office has not released its score on this latest version of the heal it will, though. How dangerous is that for republicans looking at 2018 . When the first cbo score came down in march and the big headlines were 24 Million People would lose their Health Insurance if this bill was passed, you immediately saw basically every vulnerable republican back away. Shrink away. In the Public Opinion polls, President Trump saw a stark decline in his approval that sort of didnt recover for three or four weeks. I think if and when the cbo puts out its second score, you might see something similar. I think that republican moderates might be hoping that the senate does something on their end to deal with those parts of the bill but they will have voted for it. So theyre already on record for it. You talk about the senate here. What happens with the senate now . Basically theyre saying theyre going to start from scratch. The big Sticking Point for Senate Republicans, and this includes everyone from tom cotton, the arkansas senator, to mood Susan Collins of maine is the medicaid cuts. They end up yanking Health Insurance from 14 Million People and these senators say our constituents will not accept that. When the Senate Begins crafting their bill, they will be restoring the funding the house took from medicaid. The New York Times is reporting there is vast Grassroots Energy being poured into focus on the preexisting conditions piece of this. As a Campaign Slogan for 2018, how powerful is that for democrats looking to take the house back . I think its incredibly powerful. Theres some evidence to suggest that the original ahca, its kind of an awkward acronym, may have contributed to the surprising strength of democrat candidates in kansas, the kansas Fifth District and georgia sixth district. If thats true, the fact that this guts preexisting conditions may end up drivi republicans and harming the 27 or 28 House Republicans who are in districts Hillary Clinton won by either substantial or modest margins. Lets talk about whats happening in france at the moment because it looks like as weve said a case of deja vu here. Is this a new reality were having to deal with . And how do we process this, do you think . I think it is a new reality. And its one of those things thats sort of difficult to know how to move forward because, of course, you dont have any definitive proof of who is responsible for this, but i think the kind of the general wisdom here is that this is likely a function of the same hacking that we saw in the United States from russian government or russianaffiliated hackers. That its being done in the service of farright movements and farright candidates. And i dont you know, its one of the things we can kind of state the reality of it, but how to deal wi to it, im not entirely sure. It is probably the case that frances election news blackout in the runup to the voting is going to help out in trying to respond to it. It kind of deincentivizes sensationalist coverage of the hacks and of the leaks. But i do think that going forward, candidates of the center and candidates of the left, both here and in europe, are going to have to deal with the fact that their campaigns are going to be under constant electronic hacking from antagonists. And its coming at a moment when were still exploring the russia question here in the United States with two dueling congressional investigations into the trump campaigns contacts with the russians. Always good to see you, my friend. Thanks for your time. Tomorrow morning on face the nation kwtle he here on cb will include mick mulvaney.

Prosecutors in maryland say they are dropping rape charges against two teer are undocumented immigrants. The white house had used the case to promote the president s depo deportation policy but the teens legal troubles are far from over. Its disgusting what this young woman went through. Reporter that was sean spicer in march. He was commenting on a case at Rockville High School in which two recent immigrants from central america, aged 17 and 18, were charged with raping a 14yearold girl in a school bathroom. Part of the reason that the president has made illegal immigration and crackdown such a big deal is because of tragedies like this. Immigration pays its toll on our people if its not done legally. Reporter his remarks contributed to a firestorm of antiimmigrant criticism. But the teenagers lawyers said the sex was consensual and even planned in advance with the young girl. Today states attorney John Mccarthy announced were being dropped. We have concluded that the facts in this case do not support the original charges filed in this matter. Reporter marie hemena is the lawyer for the 17yearold. This case blew up because immediately they assumed they were immigrants and as a result immediately assumed they were rapists. Reporter deputy secretary Sarah Sanders filling in today for spicer was asked if white house rhetoric about immigration is encouraging people to jump to conclusions against immigrants. Not at all. The president has been incredibly outspoken against crime in any form, fashion. Reporter both teens are still in custody and they could be facing lengthy deportation proceedings.
