Spoke with Sergey Kislyak last july. It was during these conversations, im told by j. D. Gordon, they talked about improving relations between the u. S. And russia. It was dur thag time, erin, that j. D. Gordon says he went to the convention, Advocating On Behalf of the campaign for language in the gop platform that advocated against the arming of the ukrainians in their fights against the prorussian rebels. That is something the Trump Campaign denied they were doing at the time. It denied it was advocating for that language in the gop platform. Flash forward to december and according to a Senior Administration official, the president s soninlaw, Jared Kushner and the former security adviser, Michael Flynn, wret with the ambassador during a previously undisclosed meeting. James comey was making the rounds with house members. Democrats were not happy when the top democrat, adam schiff, who believes comey was not forthcoming on key details in the investigation into russia and the contact
Saying, oh, no, never mind that, youre fired. To be clear to the viewers, we dont have the reporting confirmed that youre sharing with us. But thats obviously something were trying to get information, answers to the white house, the Justice Department not commenting specifically on this firing. But lets talk a little bit more about bharara, his role here in new york, and really when it comes to litigation on such a large scale that impacts the country. He was not necessarily in just a routine post. So he gets called in the Southern District of new york, called the sovereign district of new york. Because its a huge orbit. Rudy giuliani was there. Comey from the fbi. Bhrara is looking at the mayor of new york city, has this ongoing corruption probe. Hes about to try two of Andrew Cuomos closest confidantes. And looking at Things International in scope. Really big and interesting. In addition to the fox thing i mentioned, significantly. He has an investigation excuse me, he arrested a tur
Talked to his Attorney General yet. Thats right. Reporter i had a chance to catch up with kellyannec conway. I asked her whether or not the president views this decision as some sort of set back or defeat. She didnt exactly answer that question, but heres what she had to say. This is a defeat . Do you see this as a setback . He sees it as the statute provides a president with great latitude and authority to protect the citizens and protect the Nations National security. This was not argued on the merits. Now that well have an opportunity to argue on the merits, we look forward to doing that. I think his tweet was perfect when he said, well see you in court. There you go. Some confidence being expressed by Kellyanne Conway at the white
house. Not a lot new in terms of arguments being laid out by the white house in response to this, just the very tough talk that were going to see you in court. That is not exactly going to win the day at the Supreme Court. I asked Kellyanne Conway, is thi
North korean actions just reenforced for both leaders why this is the number one threat to both Prime Minister abe and to President Trump. I think the north korean actions were deliberately timed after what was a pretty good week in terms of u. S. Policy in asia, with regard to President Trumps call with xi jinping and secretary mattiss trip to the region, i think the Trump Administration said look, were here and were not going to be an easy issue to deal with. Right now the National Security advisor is said to have broke on the law and critics call for him to be fired, for him to step down. How much does that impact the advice that this group can give the president at this time . I think the precedent is going to get advise from a wide range of people, including the folks in the State Department,
particularly those commitments to china that would affect the finances that north korea has for building these missiles, there may be a statement that comes out of the u. N. Security council
Coastal city of sinpo, home to north koreas submarine base, u. S. Pacific command saying it was a failure, almost immediately after launch. And what i have experienced in the past when im inside this count country, its never reported in the statecontrolled media. Of course a successful launch would be a lead story with pictures of the north Korean Leader overseeing the event. Given that this appears to be this test appears to be a failure, probably most north koreans, the vast majority, will never know that it happened, ana. And, will, explain the difference between this failed launch and an actual nuclear test. Reporter so north korea has conducted a number of Missile Launches since the beginning of last year, three dozen missile tests. Its fairly easy for north korea to fire these. They probably dont have a warhead inside the trajectory, has them falling in the waters off the korean peninsula. There was a simultaneous missile
launch last month where three missiles landed within 200 n
