Told that National Security adviser Michael Flynn was susceptible to blackmail by russia. That warning was issued by acting Attorney General sally yates, who told White House Counsel Don Mcgahn that flynn was vulnerable because he misled the Vice President and others about the nature of his conversation with Russian Ambassador sergey kislyak. Despite her warning, President Trump chose to keep flynn on the job as top National Security post for 18 more days, according to the report. Muellers goal in part is to determine whether there was a deliberate effort to cover up the information that yates had provided the white house. As nbc reports, multiple sources say that during interviews, muellers investigators have asked witnesses, including White House Counsel Don Mcgahn himself and others who have worked in the west wing to go through each day that flynn remained as National Security adviser and describe in detail what they knew was happening inside the white house as it related to

republicans who saw him decertify the iran deal, declare jerusalem the capital of israel and get domestic things done, but the repeal of the individual mandate is big for republicans. the opening of anwr, the george w. bush tried to do that unsuccessfully. so there are a number of things, including the confirmation of judges, that the president has done but i think because of how distracting his tweets are and the distractions of the russia investigation, people are only really starting to take stock of it now and the fact that so much of it was done in the past three months helps the fact that people are only starting to notice right now. you raise what i think is the defining question of the trump presidency. will he get credit beyond his base in the sense that if you look at the polling on the tax cut, if you look at the polling on him personally, heading into a midterm election year, which is usually defined almost singularly by how the president stands with the american people,

process going. that s optimistic. i don t know if that s true. that s just one of the opinions that s out there. harris: so right after the president moved into the white house, he did the same thing that other presidents have done every six months. and he signed the waiver for the actual tel aviv u.s. embassy to remain open so that it is open and it is enumerated in the funding. he knows he is going to have to continue 20 do that throughout the five, six whatever it takes he got promised. broken campaign promise. he gets to do things he has to do. keep one funded because people have to have a place to go to work while you work on the other place. > sandra: we will leave it there we will hear the president declare jerusalem arrests the capital of israel at 1 p.m. eastern time. we will bring that to you live as soon as he begins speaking. meanwhile, sexual harassment on capitol hill plaguing both parties and on the democratic side now eight democrat senators, seven
