"conflicts arise in big fortune for the trump duo. a look at ivanka trump and jared kushner. both are now senior government officials. the white house has hosted dozens of chief executives and a handful of world leaders in recent weeks and it is a rare fried crowd, one that has included the top executives of some of the world's most large automobile, pharmaceutical, tech companies. jared kushner has helped create a new office that trump is calling "the white house office of administration." and his wife still benefit financially from the real estate and investment thate and it makes clear the most powerful washington couple is walking on perilous legal and ethical ground, according to several prominent experts on the subject. that story is available online. we go to houston, texas. caller: thank you for c-span. as a mother myself, i would like to say that if one could trump, i'm sure she is a nice woman and a good mother. her kids look happy. my problem is that i don't think she is relatable to the average american woman. we have the have nothings and the have every things an

donald trump often appears on fox which is ironic because fox often appears on donald trump's head. donald trump said he has a great relationship with the blacks. though unless the blacks are a family of white people, i bet he's mistaken. >> oh, the memories. that's a little context for why donald trump may not be there tonight. why did he choose harrisburg, pennsylvania over washington, d.c.? the president arguing this is a place to connect with real americans. he's also using this as a chance to contrast his arguments against what he sees as a main stream media out to get him. a new op-ed hit the washington post within the last hour by the president titled in my first hundred days i ept can my promise to americans. we'll have more on that as well. jacob rascon live at the rally talking to trump supporters and we have a power panel with me in washington as well as from around the country. starting with you, jacob. what are you seeing out there at the rally and the hundred days. is it a mood that feels typical of other rallies or something different? >> reporter: the campaign, maybe

. >>> good evening, welcome to "a.c. 360" and donald trump 180 today president trump making a 1 180 on so many of the statements he made during the campaign. on nato, saying it was obsolete, then and now. >> nato is obsolete, it's over 67 years old, it is, many countries doesn't cover terrorism, it covers the soviet union, which is no long never existence and nato has to be either be rejiggered, rechanged for the party. >> the secretary general and i had a productive discussion about what more nato can do in the fight against terrorism. i complained about that a long time aago and they made a chang, and now they do fight terrorism. i said it was obsolete, it's no longer obsolete. >> for the record, nato did -- china was a currency manipulator and he was going to call them out. tough talk to a lot of applause during rallies on the campaign trail. let's look then and now. >> reporter: china which has been ripping us off, the greatest abuser in the history of this country, china has been ripping us and i have many friends in china, they agree with me 100%. they can't imagine, they can't e

congressman elijah cummings now wants to know what the trump transition and the trump white house new about flynn's failure to properly disclose those payments and when they knew it. today, u.s. congressman cummings accused the mouwhite house of obstructing, threatening to use a subpoena to get documents. >> these guys are playing games. when you see mr. spicer, you can tell him i said that today. they're playing games. they have told us they have documents, and then they said executive privilege. then they said some of them are before the inauguration. if we cannot come to a conclusion there and get the documents, then they'll have to be subpoenaed. >> reacting to questions about flynn's failure to disclose those foreign payments, sean spicer today blamed the obama administration because flynn renewed his security clearance before trump took office. >> are you satisfied with the vetting that was done of general flynn by the transition team before he came on board as the national security adviser? >> the issue is, you know, he was issued a security clearance under the obama administra

trump is barely at 40%. so, yeah, that is historically the lowest we've ever seen in modern time and you can look at that and say, that is a presidency that is in some very unique and some very early peril. that is one possible interpretation here. how about another possible interpretation there? maybe is it possible that the rules have changed, or the rules are different when it comes to donald trump and what these numbers might mean? here's what i mean there. think back to the campaign. think back to the numbers we saw about his approval rating in the campaign, his numbers were historically low. it was unprecedented. we'd never seen, only 35% of people in our poll said he had the temperament to be president. less than 40% said he was qualified. only 40% had a positive opinion of him. we looked at these numbers,lect with these numbers. he did get elected president. he did win the election. he had that core group of supporters. it was just enough. he won the election. so the question becomes, what about that

trump has said is the policy. we will not stand by like the previous administrations and allow for the north koreans to behave badly. and i think it's being made very clear by the syria action, the dropping of the moab yesterday in afghanistan, that military forces on the table. >> martha: we have been shifting into the region, marked, and you combine that with the increased dialogue between xi of china and president president trump where we have not seen them get in the past. that has to have north korea sitting up and paying attention. the question is how do they respond? >> this is why i'm surprised, actually. president trump made some inroads with the chinese. i'd rather see him capitalize on that and to what the last couple of ministrations haven't been able to do, and that is for the chinese to leverage for the north koreans a little bit. i'm concerned about the bellicose language -- i'm never concerned about the north korean bellicose language in terms of what they are saying. i mean, they are a dangerous c

and spying on then candidate trump and then president elect trump. it went on for a long time. >> there really is no discuss. andrew mccarthy talks about, who are the investigative arms? if someone were investigating a russian time, would it be the white house doing the investigation? would bit susan rice job? no, it would be the fbi, the nsa or the cia, but it would in no world be susan rice's job. so i think it's pretty important that we understand that millions of americans are caught up in this web of intelligence collection. millions of americans' phone calls are caught up. we can't allow them to look at americans' phone calls without a warrant just because they disagree with us politically. this is very, very dangerous to our republic. >> sean: i really agree. because the issue of privacy. then america becomes a police state. if private confidential information is being revealed and unmasked and leaked, then there is no such thing as privacy. >> i have been asking for reforms to this for a long time. these are the back door searchs many of us a

trump in a deep hole. the worst approval ratings around the 100 half day mark for my president many modern times. 42% of americans give him a thumbs up. 53% disapprove. and as you see in this chart, no other president has been underwater like that. the average rating since truman, 69-19. remember, for most presidents, this is the honeymoon period. over time, the ratings drift down. they rarely, if ever, go up. right now, a majority, 53% do think the president is a strong leader. but nearly 6 in 10 doubt his honesty, temperament, empathy, and judgment. 53% move he's not accomplished that much in this first three months. one big bright spot, no buyer's remorse. 96% of supporters stand by their vote. and get this, if a new election were held today, our poll shows trump would even beat hillary clinton in the popular vote. that finding is a flashing red light for democrats. we're going to analyze their predicament today, as well. explore whether a president can govern at home when only his base gives him the be

"the 11th hour" begins now. >>> good evening tonight from washington, d.c. i'm joy reed in for brian william who has the night off. today was day 99 of the trump presidency. trump may have 99 problems but getting the love from his base ain't one. first up arc trip to atlanta for a speech to the national rifle association where trump the president sounded more like trump the candidate serving up that red meat to the crowd. >> november 8th. wasn't that a great evening? do you remember that evening? remember that? and remember they said there is no path to 270. for months i was hearing that. you know, they are trying to suppress the vote. i have a feeling that in the next election you are going to be swamped with cand

do you think he's being sold short by trump when trump says he's just a functionary? he's some guy that works for me around the shed somewhere? >> that's not what he was during the campaign, and that's not what he is in the white house. he has largely set the agenda, i think, for the sort of opening weeks and months of the trump administration. it has not been successful. so, you know, you've got the bannon-led faction and you've got the jared kushner-led faction. and the jared kushner-led faction is way ahead. >> that's exactly what the talk is among the office. it is that trump likes success. big surprise. the last couple of weeks have been good for him. sure, spicer has got a problem. he will have that problem for a while, maybe for a long while. but the big success has been gorsuch as you said, and taking on assad, who nobody likes, partly getting through that use of fire power. you know, apparently not killing any russians, not really doing more damage than minimally necessary. he looked like a man who can make a decision, and now facing down putin in a way most

donald trump is loyal to donald trump. donald trump is the one who likes to make donald trump look good. and the other difference between these two men right now in addition to the fact that bannon is taking some of the blame for the rocky first 80 or going on 100 days of this administration, is that donald trump, even though he shoots from the hip, don, even though he liked to rebel rouse during the campaign, donald trump seeks the praise of the establishment, warrants to be seen as a good guy. steve bannon, even though steve bannon is wealthy, used to work for gold man soman sachs, went harvard, is in the navy, likes to be seen as an outsider, irritant to the washington class and the different positions are rubbing up against each other in a way that's not working for n bann bannon. >> you make a good point. for those who have been around donald trump for a while, new yorkers, he -- the establishment, he wants to be accepted, wants to be accepted by celebrities. he understands that "the new york times" and "washington po

[cheers and applause] president trump: remember those saying, we have breaking news, donald trump has won the state of michigan. michigan, how did that happen? donald trump has won the state of wisconsin, whoa! but earlier in the evening, remember florida, north carolina, south carolina, pennsylvania, all the way up, we ran up the east coast. and you know, the republicans have a tremendous disadvantage in the electoral college, you know that. tremendous disadvantage and to run the whole east coast and then you go with iowa, ohio and all of the different states, it was a great evening, one that a lot of people will never forget. a lot of people. [applause] president trump: not going to forget that evening. and remember they said, there is no path to 270. for months i was hearing that. you know, they are trying to suppress the vote and people are saying i like trump and he loves the second amendment and loves the n.r.a., but let's go to the movies because we can't win because they are trying to suppress the vote. i heard 100 times, there is no route, there is no route to 270. nd we ende

yet trump's forward. he just keeps moving forward, ignoring anything that happened an hour ago. >> well, i mean nafta just this week. >> he's now going to keep nafta. >> it looked like he was going to get rid of nafta and now he's going to keep nafta. >> what about nato? he was going to get rid of everything. >> i think he just found out there was two koreas about ten minutes ago. i don't think he understood that. >> how about jerusalem? politicians have been saying, i'm going to move the embassy because it's politics. we know the politics of it. they all know they can't do it, so when they get in office, of course that's off the table. he had to be told you can't do it. >> right. well, and i think too the thing that's tricky for satire is you can satirize politicians in the best way possible when they lay out a policy that you can satirize. like you said, when he's a piece of cottonwood blowing in the wind, it's really hard to grab the there there. so what you have to do is kind of watch a pattern and th

it began with trump accusing president obama of tapping his wires in trump tower. and days later in a very public humiliation of the president, fbi director james comey was compelled to say there is no evidence to support the trump claim. and oh, by the way the fbi is inveigating the trump campaign for possible colsiith the russians to tip the 2016 election in their favor. then there is the one-man drama that is house intelligence committee chairman and former trump transition member republican devin nunes. he tried to help trump find evidence to backhis surveillance claims and instead triggered a torrent of questions about him. like why is he working with the trump white house instead of investigating it? and who let him on to white house grounds? it's a story so strange that even fellow republicans today say they couldn't write this novel. and we haven't even yet mentioned the debacle that was the defeat of trumpcare. over the course of the next hour, we'll bring you a team of experts. we'll get to the bottom of what happened today. what is the next shoe to drop?

with trump at trump tower during the presidential campaign. returned toli zon indonesia, as i mentioned, he was fiercely and courageously attacked or the grand imam of the mosque in new york city, and also attacked by his colleagues in the indonesian congress. fadli zon was and is the number two person in the indonesian congress. they tried to censure him for appearing with donald trump on the grounds it was unethical. as the imam have pointed out, this thing that trump is famous for in u.s. politics is being a racist and being anti-islam. this was especially sharp and ironic because probo and fadli zon have used as the main political tactic, attacking any of their opponents on the ground that are anti-islam and tools of foreigners. them as he had told me in our extensive discussion -- the, was the most closest partner of u.s. intelligence in indonesia he was helping to run the mass murdering that she worked for the u.s. defense intelligence agency. in the campaign, he was running as a phony nationalist. after he returned to indonesia, fadli z

trump transition team member or either candidate trump or president-electmp trump? scenario you could think of in your wellness imagination that you could think that. >> i would think it was only if there was some kind of imminent threat to the united states of america, a direct tie or close tie to a terrorist organization, someone with a known connection to terror. maybe under those circumstances, but i got off the phone with two former cia officials right before i came on with you and both of them, they don't even know each other, but both of them said that her comments that when she sees something interesting, basically i ask for more information. both of them said that's just not how it works. you have to have a specific reason for pulling the identity of an american that is caught up in one of these webs. she gave that scenario of the bomb maker, that's obviously not what was going on here. it was a red herring cheat throughout. >> sean: through my understanding of the intelligence sources that i had helpo me, for you to even view this raw intelligence informat

trump: the n.r.a. protects in our capitals and legislative houses the freedoms that our service members have won for us on those incredible battlefields and has been a tough fight against those who would go so far as to ban private gun ownership entirely. but i am here to deliver you good news. and i can tell you that wayne and chris have been fighting with me long and hard to make sure that we were with you today, not somebody else with an empty podium because believe me, the podium would have been empty. they fought long and hard and i think you folks cannot think -- think them enough. they were with us all the way, right from the beginning. [applause] pres. trump: we have news that you have been waiting for for a long time. the eight year assault on your second amendment freedoms has come to a crashing end. [cheers and applause] pres. trump: you have a true friend and champion in the white house. no longer will federal agencies be coming after law-abiding gun owners. [cheers and applause] pres. trum

then we are measuring trump. now we know how to measure trump. when he lies and he's lying about not only president obama but about five million immigrants voting, which is ridiculous, of course. jake: they voted in all the wrong states. [laughter] jorge: exactly. actually, if you take away all the kids who are under 18, it would be almost half the undocumented population went to vote. it's a matter of credibility. i know that we're concerned about fake news. the fact is that you do trust some journalists, i hope. and they're telling you the truth. but when it comes to the credibility of president trump, it's a matter of -- really difficult. because if he decides to get into a war with north korea, do we trust the president? let's remember what happened with george w. bush when there were no weapons of mass destruction. we're forgetting that the country completely changed, even though he was not telling the truth. what happens with trump now if he decides to bomb syria? it's very dangerous. jake: it's a problem for him. in our new cnn poll, for a

the daily mirror takes it one step further, suggesting trump is 110w step further, suggesting trump is now one step from war. warning that the world is in fear. arguably bevan, there are many proxy wars going on already, notjust in syria but in iran. there are. -- but in iraq. very dramatic language. trump himself has been very categorical in his comments on what this represented as an atrocity. the idea that we are one step behind war, it seems that a russian war strip in the black sea has been diverted to the black sea has been diverted to the method. —— warship. there is a bit of... some headlines are getting ahead of the fax. this is no extra regulation —— escalation in us force will. for the russians, they are meant to be protecting syria. yet this attack has happened on one of their bases. what this really shows is that the big players in the syrian conflict are the us and russia. the assad regime would not have survived this long if it had not been fully support of its allies, particularly russia. also it ron. vladimir putin has insisted on keeping that regime. —— al

mcmaster conveyed this to aides and trump, and trump came to the decision that it was good to remove bannon. tim: i heard that steve bannon did not attend the meetings anyway. >> he didn't. and i talked to a congressional hill a who never believe that his real passion was foreign policy and national security. when he was originally appointed it was a sign of his power and, i guess, his stature in the administration. many people believe there will be a huge policy change based on his removal. tim: he can still go. >> he is not on the committee and he still has access to the material at these meetings. tim: the key question, has his influence within the white house been damaged by this? >> i don't believe so. i think people read too much into this. i was told by a white house aide just today that steve bannon will lead domestic policy on the next big trump push, infrastructure and tax reform later this spring and into the summer. this is his baby. this is what he cares about. i think he is very close to the president and has his trust from -- trust, just not on foreign affairs. tim: di

in the trump era. we spoke to a group on the resistance side and now we'll hear from young activists who say they are energized by one of the biggest political upsets in history. they saw a new leader who could change our politics. christen tate, author of government gone wild. ellie, a future law student who took a semester off school to be a traveling aide on the trump campaign. paul anthony, leader of the new york state young republicans and nicole hart. new events chair of the new york state young republicans. thank you all for being here. let me start out by asking you starting on this side, what is the best thing you think donald trump has done so far as president from a young american perspective? >> so far i would say the most important thing he has done is to order the start of the wall. i think that's very important to secure our border. we need to protect our citizens, and we need to know who is coming in and out of the country. >> yeah. i think he has done the best job in getting people mor

no to mexico paying for the trump wall. the president of mexico refused to even discuss it and canceled a trip to washington to meet with the president of the united states. the president of mexico humiliated the president of the united states over a wall. then last week, the trump administration insisted that at least a billion dollars in funding for the wall be included in the spending bill that congress must pass this week. the president's budget director mick mulvaney threatened his former friends in the house of representatives telling them they absolutely had to do it, but republicans cannot pass that spending bill without democratic support in the senate and the democrats said no to the wall. >> i'll caution, if the administration insists on poison pill riders or extraneous funding requests, then our talks could get sidetracked. particularly if the administration demands funding for a border wall. >> that's all it took. so what did donald trump do? did he hang tough and take the fight to chuck schumer? or did he foll

we have to think about the core reason why trump voters voted for trump. i'm not saying they all voted for trump because of jobs or stress or anxiety around progress or racial or gender lines. there are a lot of reasons people voted for donald trump. i think he has a base that is not going anywhere. they are locyal to donald trump no matter what he does. what is interesting is the nn . independents. the people that voted for him on economic growth and jobs. we are not seeing that so far. the economy is at its slowest growth rate in the past three years. so donald trump has a lot to answer for in terms of matching a lot of the lofty rhetoric he used during the campaign. i think there is an opening for democrats. you will see many in the streets today protesting climate and environmental justice. you have groups of people around the country. lowncome people and people of color intimately impacted by pollution. their children have asthma. you have unclean water in michigan and elsewhere. i think there is an opportunity for democrats to propose an alternative.

i don't think we have seen a real difference between candidate trump and president trump. i think shane's story is fascinating for a number of reasons. one, it reminds us that trump is kind the marketer in chief, looking for that kind of bumper sticker way to sell what he thinks he as accomplished. he's also a very transactional president. his experience in politics is the campaign. campaigns of course are very transactional, you win or you lose. same goes for much of his business experience. governing, as we know, is not that kind of thing. and if you judge it in those terms he hasn't gotten out of what he wanted to given that he is working with congress. >> shane, if we accept that he was kind of the chaos candidate, he was about -- and i think think he would say that proudly. he was about upsetting the status quo, drain and swamp, and all of that. we keep saying unforced errors so far in this president. a lot of it is the downside risk that comes with that tendency. >> yeah, i mean he brought in a set of people that did not have government experience. he named as his ch

i think everything in the era of trump is about trump to some degree. and trying to get policy through. even in washington it is almost impossible. i was skeptical. i saw ads still with pelosi. and knee 14. she is already out of power. you talk to these candidates. she is the most unpopular democrat. that's what 2018 could be about. >> you guys did a poll about the disenfranchisement. i would say this is what 2018 will be about. if you talk to focus that are rae republican, they are ones had will be less likely like nancy pelosi. a l of millennial voters w't know who she is. she was not reigning during their time. but they know they don't like donald trump. i think increasingly we'll be seeing, are the babyboomers going to continue to dominate the south? or will we see millennials stepping up? >> i remember the republican consultants who were trying to make a black sheep out of harry reid. and voters never really had a negative reaction to harry reid. as soon as the consultants put nancy pelosi in an ad, it was get her out. i don't want her in power. so

trump has some leverage. one piece is to say to the chinese, i'm actually going to pull our troops out of south korea because we're going to leave this to you. when that happens, then the south koreans say, you're going? then they're going to want to get their own nuke. when that happens to the japanese, they will want to get their own nuke. we could say to the chinese, would you like to have a nuclear south korea and a nuclear japan on your doorstep? >> rose: it is said the japanese could do it overnight. >> they're like two screws away. if they can make the cars they make, you can bet they figured this out already. so there is leverage we have on the chinese to basically, come on, guys. by the way, how do you think the russians feel? ever looked at the map to how russia curls around the north korea? they have a nuclear weapon on their doorstep. >> rose: and some worry about his temperament, to say it kindly, who believes that nuclear weapons are the only thing that will gain him respect. >> yeah, and unfort

if you measure frum trump's presidency, it is trump zero. >> i also want to do a dive-in on the trump support. whatever the general public thinks, voters that went with trump are sticking by him. 96 % saying the wld voteor him again. 2% saying they regret their te. that true even as the health care proposeat would hurt places where trump voters live. especially elderly and rural americans by taking away key subsidies. >> counties that voted for you, middle class and working class counties would do far less well than more affluent counties. >> these are going to be negotiated. >> trump acknowledging, it is the same with the budget. eliminating tens of millions for rural airports, heating systems, rural farm and business grants and this headline trump budget slams west virginia. that's in newspapers throughout the state. he won there by 41 point. trump's base holding firm in their support. what do you make as someone advising hillary clinton who got more votes but lost in the key areas at this resilient support? >> i think it is not terribly surprising that his hard core base is continu

trump said. literally the exact opposite of what he said repeatedly ad nauseam on the campaign trail. >> china so manipulates their currency. >> they manipulate the hell out of their currency. >> they devalue their currency. >> china cheats. they devalue their currency. >> we are going to label china a currency manipulator. >> when "the wall street journal" asked about his complete flip-flop, mr. trump said the reason he's changed his mind on one of his signature campaign promises is that china hasn't been manipulating its currency for months and because taking the step now could jeopardize his talks with china on confronting the threat of north korea. >>> the first presidential tweet of the day, great win in kansas last night for ron estes. easily winning the congressional race against the dems who spent heavily on predicted victory. there is only one thing factually accurate in that tweet. the kansas state treasurer did indeed beat james thompson to fill the seat of mike pompeo, but it was not

on nato donald trump said it was obsolete. president trump said it no longer is. donald trump said china was a currency manipulator. today he said it's not a currency manipulator at all. he urged against intervention in syria. today, of course, president trump called assad a butcher and holds out the possibility of more strikes. it's rather striking and it has been playing out in moscow as well as in washington. we begin this hour with michelle kosinski in moscow. >> reporter: four hours of crucial, contentious talks with

best not the message from the trump administration right now -- that's not the message from the trump administration right now. charlie: the message from the secretary of state is our goal is to get rid of isis. gerald: but he also said after that, then we will figure out how to solve the syrian problem. he is acknowledging that there is a syria problem out there that you can didn't -- can't avoid forever. we will deal with isis first, then we will worry about president assad and what happens to him. that's not inconsistent with what president trump told us today. he was more explicit in saying we are not going to go diving into syria. . am saying that's a mistake that's not what we are about right now. charlie: how does he expect to get the russians to negotiate? gerald: that's not clear. one of the things that was hanging in the backdrop of our conversation was the meeting that was going on at the time we were talking between secretary of state tillerson, foreign minister lavrov, and the conversation with president putin. clear. one of the thing that have hanging in the backdrop of

donald trump has not released his tax returns yet. you know, even alice can tell you this, because her former boss, ted cruz, released nine years of his tax returns, and challenged donald trump to release his. he did not do that. hillary clinton released 39 years of her tax returns. this is the least transparent president we've had in american history since probably richard nixon. definitely the most corrupt president since richard nixon. this is a troubling pattern and looking at the hypocrisy of the trump administration. >> this is from 2012. let's listen. >> president obama is the least transparent president in the history of this country. >> why do we want to see president obama's college records? >> transparency. does that make sense to anybody? seriously. >> what does that mean, transparency? >> there are so many hidden things we just don't know about our president. total lack of transparency. this is a very, very sad day for the united states of america. >> all right, alice, you heard keith, the president himself from 2012. is

trump and he was able to win. hillary clinton as i said earlier, she moved around to try to be senator -- senator sanders 3072, senator of socialist who wasn't part of the democratic party, a nomination and brought most of the energy to the primary battle and our situation. both parties are still searching for what they are going to be in the next coming in now, 1020, 30 years. but the democrats are wet hair going to be until they have a primary battle for president. that is how that kind of works. on our side, we will see what happens if this president serves out his term or if he runs for reelection or his president are wet. we all know we can't really do much about her situation and tells the post trump world. that's view at least.

trump campaign signed personally by donald j. trump. one of the single biggest donations she got in that whole campaign cycle. voila, pam bundy's office said they would not have florida join the fraud suit against trump university. very tidy little timeline. compared to a lot of other popularity things that get decided by politicians, even life or death things, this seems very tidy, not at all random. this seems not at all arbitrary. this seems direct. but wait, it keeps going because, first, that story made news because they were delaying an execution which didn't make he said is on the surface for republican politicians who were crew saiged to kill more prisoners that they would want to slow one down. then that story made news because it turned out the reason for the delay is pam bundy had a fundraiser. then pam dobundy took one of th biggest donations to her campaign that year. then it made news again because that person who she decided not to sue, he went on to run for president. then that story made news during the presidential cam

trump thinks that mexicans can read. actually, what he wants them to read the most is hillary clinton's 33,000 missing e-mails. >> recently sweeping up her own messes like this one after the president alleged the obama administration tapped his phones at trump tower. >> you can surveil them through phones and television sets and any number of different ways. microwaves that turn into cameras. i don't believe people are using the microwave to spy on the trump campaign. >> in the white house she's described as an island onto herself though still in trump's good graces if not always on the same page as her boss. conway vouched for then national security adviser michael flynn in mid february. >> general flynn does enjoy the full confidence of the president. >> trump fired flynn that very day. >> thanks brianna keilar. so much more straight ahead live from washington d.c. stay with us. this this this this is my body of proof. proof of less joint pain and clearer skin. this is my body of proof that i can take on psoriatic arth

is at trump international golf club in west palm beach. we don't know if he is holding meetings are not but team is working on how to proceed with syria and russia. rex tillerson says he is disappointed in how russia has responded, disappointed russia has not publicly condemned the assad regime for striking his people with chemical weapons. at the same time the pentagon investigating if russia was somehow involved in the chemical weapons attack. steve mnuchin said the us will announce new sanctions on syria in response the chemical weapons attack and the ambassador to the un, nikki haley, said the us is prepared to do more, perhaps take more military action, hoping it will not be necessary but the us is willing to do more if assad does not top. all this is happening at the same time there are rumors of a significant staff shakeup in the very most senior levels of the west wing. the white house is pushing back on that. on thursday president trump focused his chief strategist steve bannon and chief of staff rights priebus to work it out. the
