but how is the white house handling it? >> well, we should note that it is that very quote in this filing where they argue it was the president's personal preference, that he conceded it was his personal preference to have this wall built quicker, rather than an actual need here. the emergency's act of 1976 doesn't talk about authorities here. it doesn't say whether it has to be an emergency or it doesn't define that and say it has to be an unforeseen circumstance. it may come down to how the president is trying to spend these monies. in particular he's asking for wants to spend $3.6 billion from military construction projects. but to do that, according to stat statutes, he would have to demonstrate that the military is needed. so it remains to be seen. some of these suits could be thrown out. they will need to demonstrate that there is harm done to them, including to those states. they argue, among others, the environmental damage here. but the bottom line is the white house is putting out a series of tweets this morning.

we love our white house stories. we love stories of the jewish community interacting in the white house, so we have this from a white house hanukkah party. other items that are fun to document and help give a sense of the jewish community involved in all the branches of government. this box was used at the wedding for luci baines johnson. the cake box was produced by a local party store owner. she had a party business and she got a call one day asking if she could produce 750 cake boxes for a souvenir cake from a wedding. she said certainly, but i want to make sure someone could pay the bill. she was told the bride's father, president johnson, would be sure to pay the bill. she then ended up going to the white house and helping plan the wedding and subsequent wedding for the next daughter and other parties. we have a lot of stories, only in washington stories, where ordinary local business people are interacting with the federal government, or with agents of change in very different ways than you would see elsewhere.

eamon javers at the white house. let's bring in walter isaacson, former chairman of cnn always good to talk to you good morning >> good morning. good to be with you. thank you so much. >> what do you think of the story as much as we know now >> an amazing story. the thing i'm most interested in both in terms of technology and business is how did these texts and apparent pictures get out? is it a cell phone that was texted, could you have a government agency, our government or some other government do that that seems unlikely. and what type of applications were being used to transmit them did somebody get a hold of the phone? those are things i find interesting. is this a hacking story or is this somebody setting up jeff bezos. especially some government involvement, that would be wild. secondly, the relationship between american media and the "national enquirer" group and the trump white house has been under investigation for a long time so this really does have all of the elements of something that needs to be inves

you find the white house responds after you publish. they want to see it in its entirety. >> you gave them the details. >> we did. we gave them what we were planning to report. there was not response. >> let's talk a little, shimon, about the scope of all of this. is there concern at the white house right now -- the justice department for that matter, over the strength of mueller's overall obstruction case? >> i think overall, they have consistently been concerned about the mueller investigation. i think what mark's piece with "the new york times" lays out, the biggest concern i think right now for people on the trump team is the sdny. this is why i think he wanted burman to oversee this investigation. he was concerned that someone else would come in and start overseeing this investigation. that is where many people think most of the president's problems lie right now, is at the southern district of new york. and that investigation. we don't yet know where mueller stands on things, obviously. i think we're probably close to learning as
