An emergency the president required this enormous step of closing the border. Thats punted to next year. Why the change . According to President Trump, there is still an emergency, but hes not closing the border, at least not right now. The predjust spoke to reporters just a couple minutes ago on the south lawn. They asked him, why did he change his mind about closing the border and he claimed he never did, but what is happening at the border is that mexico has changed their behavior. Mexico is doing more. Theyre apprehending more people at their southern border and preventing those people from coming up on a journey to the United States. But what were hearing from our sources, jim, is this has been several days in the making of President Trump getting feedback from his aides, from republicans on capitol hill, who have been telling him that closing the border would be catastrophic to the u. S. Economy. And the president has taken the option to find a way out of this threat to close the border by saying in one year, if mexico doesnt do more on immigration, if they dont do more on drug enforcement, stopping Illegal Drugs from coming into the United States, then hes actually not even going to close the border, hes going to go to auto tariffs. Hes going to tariff car parts coming from mexico to the United States, and then if that doesnt work, then hell close the border. But the reality is that is a 180degree shift from where the president was just a week ago. Last week, he said he would close the border this week. A Top White House aide said on sunday it would take something extraordinary for the president to change his mind about closing the border. But change his mind he did. And as President Trump heads to california right now, hes going to a part of the state where there is some fencing that has been replaced. Hes going be talking about the border wall and what hes doing there to stop illegal immigration. But clearly, hes backtracking on this issue of the need to close the border in order to deal with the immigration issue. I think hes going to go back to what hes been talking about for months, the wall and the fact he wants congress to do more to fund a border wall along the u. S. mexico border, jim. Two flipflops this week. Also on health care. We had the president s comments coming in shortly and well air them here. Thanks. Two days after the House Judiciary Committee authorized subpoenas for the full and unfiltered Mueller Report, the chairman of the committee wants to see communications between the special counsels team and the Justice Department. Why . At issue there, objections among some on the mueller side to the attorney generals fourpage recap of their two years work. Some saying it does not reflect their work and what they found. Sunlen serfaty following this on capitol hill. Really, its one of multiple fronts now in this battle over how much of the Mueller Report comes out. And the white house is going to fight them. Thats absolutely right, jim. All of this really certainly adds fuel to the fire of jerry nadler, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee to push hard for the information that he wants and the information that he intends to get. The reports of the mueller team are unhappy were felt frustrated with how their own summaries and the conclusions of the Mueller Report were characterized. That really has emboldened jerry nadler even more to push for the information. He sent a letter last night to the doj saying in part, quote, in light of the reported disagreements between the special counsels office and yours, we also request that you produce to the committee all communications between the special counsels office and the Department Regarding this report. And he, of course, is also demanding the Immediate Release of all summaries that mueller had made that he intended to become public. The fight over the information, as you said, jim, really at a fierce level now. And jerry nadler making it very clear that he intends, he believes its inevitable he will get mueller to testify before his committee. He says in short order. Jim. That will be quite a moment on the hill. Remember the comey testimony . Bob mueller on the hill would be interesting. Lets discuss with lonny chen and susan hennessey, nsa attorney. Let me start with you, if i can, susan, seeing as youre a lour here. The argument that barr and others are making is that hes not going to be james comey with hillary clinton, right . When he had that famous press conference july 2016 where he said listen, im not going to charge her. Doesnt meet the prosecutorial standard, but she had all this bad behavior. Hes saying if hes not going to be charged, we shouldnt then, the public should not see the evidence that might have indicated there was wrongdoing. Theres a couple different arguments there. Theres things like grand jury material, classified information, things there is an obligation for doj to review. Thats one thing, but hes making a broader argument that anything that sullies the reputation this broader argument of who qualifies as a prileral third party, if he doesnt provide information about what they did, the American Public and congress is not going to have a full story of what occurred. The argument that you cannot provide information to congress about someone who has not been indicted for the one person who cant be indicted would put him in a position of being sort of completely beyond the reach of the law. Thats an interesting point. In less than two minutes, well hear the president on his departure for california. Before we get there, i want to ask you, republicans at least in the house, they voted to make this report public. 4220. Now you have republicans pushing back, echoing some of the arguments from the Justice Department. There are republicans, perhaps your former boss mitt romney, who will say full disclosure . I think most republicans will be of the view that the report should be released with appropriate redactions. I dont know that youll hear a lot of republicans saying the full report ought to be released without redactions. The question is at some point if the pressure is going to mount on republicans because democrats are using their platform in the house, the majority in the house to advance the point of view that more disclosure and transparency is better. The question is do the American People agree with that . This has become a political argument, not a legal one. Polls show even republicans want to see the report released. That is republican voters. Whos opposing it except the president and his team . Well, this is the question, though. The report in what form . Is the the report with appropriate redactions or just the report with everything, warts and all. I think thats a distinction democrats are pushing for. At the end of the day, im not sure if thats an effective means for them to follow. Were seconds away now from hearing the president. Less than ten seconds. This is the president on his departure for california answering questions from reporters. Lets listen in. The economic numbers just came out. Theyre very, very good. Our country is doing unbelievably well. Economically, most of you dont report that because it doesnt sound good from your perspective, but the country is doing really, really well. We have a lot of very exciting things going on. A lot of companies will be announcing shortly theyre moving back into the United States. Theyre all coming back. They want to be where the action is. Im heading to the border. Were building a lot of wall. Well show you a section. And a lot of things are happening. A lot of very positive things are happening. What should the fed do with Interest Rates . Well, i personally think the fed should drop rates. I think they really slowed us down. Theres no inflation. I would say in terms of quantitative tightening, it should actually now be quantitative easing. Very little if any inflation. And i think they should drop rates and they should get rid of quantitative tightening. You would see a rocket ship. Despite that, were doing very well. Were going in a little different direction. Ron is a good man, but were going in a tougher direction. We want to go in a tougher direction. What exactly is offensive about joe bidens behavior, and are you the right messenger for that . I think im a very good messenger, and people got a kick out of it. Hes going through a situation. Lets see what happens, but people got a kick. We got to sort of smile a little bit, right . Do you see joe biden as a threat . No, i dont see joe biden as a threat. No. I dont see him as a threat. I think hes only a threat to himself. I just dont see him as a threat. Hes been there a long time. His record is not good. He would have to run on the obama failed record. You look at what happened with so many different things. North korea, the middle east, the economy never got going. No, i dont think joe is a threat. I would love him to be. Look, i would be happy with any of them, to be honest. I never changed my mind at all. I may shut it down at some point, but i would rather do tariffs. So mexico, i have to say, has been very, very good. You know that over the last four days, since i talked about shutting down the border. If they continue that, everything will be fine. If they dont, were going to tariff their cars at 25 . Coming into the United States. So every time they make a car, its a 25 tariff. That means we make money as opposed to lose money. We probably bring those Car Companies back into the United States. But if on the other hand it doesnt work, which it will, 100 , the tariffs will work just like they have worked with steel. Our Steel Industry is so hot right now because of what i did with tariffs. Same thing with aluminum. Theyll work. If they didnt work, i will close the border. I also am looking at an economic penalty for all of the drugs that are coming in through the southern border. And killing our people. The china meeting was a big success. I think were going to have look, we have a very good relationship. Were going to see. I dont want to predict a deal or not a deal, but were very well along. We have really negotiated probably the two hardest points. Very successfully for our country. And china understands. You know, china has taken advantage of our country for 30 years. And we cant do that anymore. Not with me. [ inaudible question ] because mexico has been absolutely terrific for the last four days. Theyre apprehending everybody. Yesterday, they apprehended 1400 people. The day before, it was 1,000. And if they apprehend people at their southern border, where they dont have to walk through, thats a big home run. We can handle it from there. Its really good. Now, congress has to act. They have to get rid of catch and release, chain migration, visa lottery. They have to get rid of the whole asylum system because it doesnt work. And frankly, we should get rid of judges. You cant have a court case every time somebody steps their foot on our ground. So very important that congress acts. But mexico for the last four days, its never happened like that in 35 years. [ inaudible question ] this will supersede usmca. Usmca is a great deal and its very good for mexico. But this will supersede usmca. Are you going to hold a rally . Im going to hold a rally. Yeah, because the dinner is so boring and so negative that were going to hold a very positive rally. We havent determined. We have about three sites. Everybody wants it. It will be a big one. But the Correspondents Dinner is too negative. I like positive things. No, they have already got it. Its old news. He lied numerous times during his last testimony. They have had that for many months. Oh, i dont know. Thats up to whoever handles it. I dont know. Hey, im under audit. From what i understand, the law is 100 in my favor. Venezuela is a mess. This is what socialism brings. You elect a socialist here, youll have the same exact country as you have in venezuela. The president there on his departure to california, touching on a number of topics. Job numbers, Interest Rates, joe biden, his border decision. At the end there saying the law is on his side about his tax returns because he claims hes under audit. Im not aware of any law preventing him releasing that. We are going to break this down a little bit. Gloria, if i could begin with you there. Lets talk about biden because of course, the president tweeted out that somewhat adolescent video yesterday, targeting biden for the claims of harassment against him. He says people got a kick out of it. I think hes only a threat to himself, when asked if he believes biden is a credible contender. Your reaction to his comments . Look, i think that, you know, in terms of the president taking joe biden on on this particular issue, remember, nobody has charged joe biden with sexual harassment. They have charged him with effectively being a handsy person. He has said hes going to watch it, and he understands that people need their personal space, and that the world has changed. Its very clear from to the president that he doesnt see any problem with himself as the messenger on this. And is a little bit of a problem. And that, you know, biden responded to him last night, if you recall, saying you know, good to see you acting president ial again. And so you know, if the president wants to take on joe biden on this, if i were biden, i would say bring it on. Chris cillizza, the president is going to california to stand along a portion of border wall that he claims is dubiously that this is an example of the wall already being built, but he was asked about his decision to reverse, to not close the border. He said hes going to use other penalties on mexico. He raised the prospect of tariffs. He said if that doesnt work, ill close the border. How significant of a turn is that . His chief of staff was on the sunday shows last week talking about it. How significant a reversal, a flipflop for him . First on your point of trump touting thidz new wall. Its just rehabbing an old wall that had fallen into disrepair. Put that there. Its significant because its what he does. We saw it twice this week on health care. Remember how republicans were going to pass a great plan and become the party of Health Care Going into the 2020 election . Then, donald trump said actually, were going to do it after the 2020 election. The reason for that, although he didnt say this, is they dont have any plan. Certainly not one that can go through congress. This is a similar thing. Donald trump stakes out a very extreme position. Well just shut the border down. Republicans blanch. You saw everyone from john cornyn, ted cruz saying look, first of all, the feasibility of logistics. Second, the Economic Impact is hugely problematic, and donald trump then says i never said that. Were going to give them a year. For his supporters, it will be enough, but i do think it continues to be important to say heres what he said on monday. Heres what he said on friday. Heres why those things are different. Yeah, susan, sort of a passing comment as he left. Hes asked about his tax returns. We did a lot of reporting about all of the steps the president has taken u fairly transparent steps to avoid these coming out, including hiring a general counsel to the irs who used to work with his own tax lawyers. As he left, he said im under audit, i think the law is on my hand to not turn over his tax returns. Is there any law preventing the president from handing over tax returns . Theres no law that prevents him from handing over his tax returns under audit, but gresdz has requested those returns. And the law is very, very clear on that. The irs now has to produce those returns to congress. And so even though hes reportedly installed someone at the irs who he thinks might be in a position to protect him, this is an area in which federal law is not ambiguous. Theyre going to have to turn it over. I do think the president is about to learn that theres a difference between sort of the passive nondisclosure of just ignoring things versus actually what the political optics are of having that aggressive fight trying to keep these tax returns secret. Its certainly going to raise the suspicion that he has something significant to hide. Lonny, where are republicans who are willing to stand up to the president on this . They talk about transparency. You have a president who appoints a general counsel who worked with his own tax lawyers, who apoints a commissioner of the irs who publicly said he agrees with the president he should not release his tax returns before hes appointed. Brings up barrs statement about the mueller obstruction of justice prior. Where are republicans who are willing to say no, this is a norm. The president seems to be pushing an agency of government in his favor. We wont stand for that. Well, in fact, jim, theres bipartisan support. Theres some republicans who have said in the past, we ought to have legislation that says president ial candidates ought to turn over or make public their tax returns. You have members of congress on the record on this. The challenge is going to be for those who have said, look, you ought to have tax returns publicly released, if theyre republicans saying it about democrats, now if they say the president ought to be allowed to not disclose those, it presents a serious political challenge. I do imagine youll see a few republicans saying look, lets get behind this legislation. It doesnt speak to the situation involving President Trump specifically but it gives them cover going forward. The next president but not this one. That sounds like an easier vote to make. Thanks to all of you. A lot to digest here.

Happening in just minutes, joe biden is set to make his first public appearance since allegations that his behavior made women feel uncomfortable. And 2020 president ial candidate Bernie Sanders reaching out to africanamerican voters at an event in new york. Speaking amid growing pressure to release his tax returns. Ryan nobles is following the latest with Bernie Sanders. Arlet sines has the latest on joe biden. Let me begin with you because im curious what youre hearing inside his camp, the level of concern about these allegations against the former Vice President , and crucially, is he going to apologize explicitly . Because those are words a lot of commentators have said they havent heard so directly from his mouth yet. Thats right, jim. People like lucy flores, the woman who accused him first last week of making her feel uncomfortable in their interaction, she said biden needed to take one step further and apologize. Right now, its unclear if hes actually going to make any comments like that. Well be hearing from him in a short while as hes speaking to a union group. Its unclear if hell address these allegations in any way. You saw the video the Vice President released on wednesday. A clear sign he needed to Say Something more beyond that first statement where he just said he didnt think he had acted inappropriately. Hes trying to make it clear to people that he understands the current environment, that he needs to be more aware of peoples personal space. Yesterday, you saw him engage with President Trump. The president had tweeted out a doctored video of biden that seemed to show a fake biden kind of lurking over the former Vice President s shoulder, and Vice President biden went ahead and commented on twitter saying i see that youre on the job and acting president ial as always. President trump was asked about all of this a short while ago before he took off from the white house, and he said that he feels hes an effective messenger when it comes to biden. Despite the fact that President Trump himself has faced multiple allegations of Sexual Misconduct over the years. He said he kind of felt people needed to have a little bit of a good laugh. Well see if biden decides to respond to that in his speech coming up here. One other thing i wanted to note is yesterday, we got a little bit of a clue, a hint about bidens 2020 plans when we have a tweet that i want to show you. One of the neighbors up in scranton, pennsylvania, the neighbor of bidens former childhood home, tweeted out this photo that appears to show the former Vice President there with a camera crew, potentially filming some type of video. Of biden himself in his mesnj earlier this week said in the next month, hell be talking about a lot of issues going forward. We expect that decision about 2020 to come in the coming weeks. Those childhood homes always show up in the announcement videos. Thanks very much. Ryan, to you, senator sanders is going to speak in a few minutes. The question looming over his head, particularly when we speak about President Trump and tax returns, when will sanders release his . Whats the delay . Soon is the answer we have been getting since shortly after sanders got into the race more than a month ago, but still the taxes have not been revealed to the public. In fact, last night, senator sanders was on trevor noahs daily show on Comedy Center and even trevor noah was pressing the senator as to when hes going to release his taxes. Take a listen. My theory is trump doesnt want us to know that hes not a billionaire and you dont want us to know that you are. So are we going to see your tax returns. You sure are. April 15th is coming. That will be the tenth year, and well make them all public shortly. Whats all . Ten years. And by the way, im delighted to do that, proud to do that. Hey, mr. Trump, you do the same thing. So you see there, even in that answer, jim, senator sanders giving a slight nudge to President Trump telling him to release his taxes. This is something hes consistently pushes President Trump to do for several years. We still dont have a real explanation other than that hes waiting until the april 15th tax deadline to finish up this round of taxes before he releases them all. Hes insistent that these tax returns are very boring. There isnt anything that exciting for us to see. And we should also point out that there are more president ial candidates in the democratic field that have not released their taxes than those who have released their taxes, but there is a different level of scrutiny with sanders because hes a frontrunner now of the candidates in the race. Hes raised the most money. Hes getting the most attention. The big question were waiting for is when will we see the tax returns. Ryan nobles, arlet signs. Thanks very much.

Harvard university is now investigating its head fencing coach after the father of two student athletes bought the coachs house. The problem, harvard says the father paid the coach nearly twice what the house was worth. Now, this is not connected to the other nationwide College Admissions scandal, but its a big question. Brynn gingras joins me now. Kind of sounds like a payoff . Im going to break this down for you, jim. Basically, peter brant is harvards long time fencing coach. A famed coach. The university credits him for unprecedent eed success. In 2016, he sold his house in a boston suburb for almost double tax reports show the property was worth. The buyer was a wealthy businessman who had a son on the harvard fencing team and another son in high school. Now, after he made that sale, he then went and bought a condo in cambridge, the town where harvard is located for 989,000. Just 500,000 shy of the amount that he paid for his home and 300,000 more than the condos listing price. A listing Real Estate Agent said its not uncommon for properties to sell well above asking price in a competitive market. However, going back to his house, zao ended up selling that property 17 months after buying it at a loss of more than there 300,000. In the meantime, zaos sons both went to harvard. Both on the fencing team. One graduated in 2018. One was recruited and admitted to harvard in 2017, according to the boston globe, who first reported this story. The globe reports zao said there was nothing unusual about this transaction. He said he bought the house as an investment and as a favor to his friend. But you can see a lot of fishy details here, and harvard is now investigating. A harvard dean wrote in a statement this. Regardless of what we eventually learn about these allegations, this is not a time for complacency where there are opportunities to clarify practices and strengthen procedures, we must act on them and do so with a sense of urgency. This, of course, is in the wake of the major College Admissions scam not connected to it, as you said, jim, but so fishy, raising a lot of questions. Its just talking more about the side door we heard singer talk about in court. Other ways people are getting into these schools through big payouts. Fishy is a good word. Brynn gingras, we know youll stay on top of it. The president seemed to have some problems with the truth this week. From claims that democrats rigged the midterms to where even his father was born.

He said his father fred was born in germany. He wasnt. He said that noise from wind farms causes cancer. It doesnt. The Washington Post fact checker says that trump has averaged 22 fishy claims per day over the past 200plus days. Thats nearly four times the number of daily false or misleading claims he made during his first year in office. Cnn chief political analyst Gloria Borger explains the president s complicated, difficult relationship with the truth and its something that goes back decades. One day, three whoppers. Even for donald trump, impressive. My father is german. Was german. And born in a very wonderful place in germany. Fred trump was born in new york city, and then theres his latest suggestion of election fraud. All but saying the 2018 midterms were rigged by the democrats. There were a lat of close elections that were they seemed to every single one of them went democrat. If it was close, they say the democrat something going on. You have to hey, but we have to be a little bit careful because i dont like the way the votes are being tallied. I dont like it. He doesnt like Wind Turbines either. They say the noise causes cancer. You tell me that one, okay. Even his staff couldnt figure that one out. I dont have an answer on that. I dont i dont have an answer for that. All just the latest additions to more than 9,000 false or misleading claims made by this president. According to the Washington Post fact checkers. As donald trump himself said last year what youre seeing and what youre reading is not whats happening. Donald trump has had a fraught relationship with the truth. One that goes back decades. To the building and selling of trump tower. Where barbara res managed the construction. He planted that. I was looking for an apartment in trump tower. That didnt happen . No. But it made the papers. Sure. So veracity wasnt a part of it. It was just getting the buzz out there . Yes. About trump. Did you guys laugh at it . Yeah. Nothing so terrible about it. I mean, you know, it was kind of like puffing. You know, like exaggerating. Tony schwartz, coauthor of trumps art of the deal has a name for this. I came up with this phrase, truthful hyperbole, which i called it an innocent form of exaggeration. Now i can call something that i actually sold for 2 million, i can say 10 million and that becomes truthful hyperbole. The problem is that there is no such thing as truthful hyperbole. The truth is the truth. Hyperbole is a lie. They dont go together. And they didnt go together during the troubled opening of trumps Atlantic City taj mahal casino in 1990 when some of the slots didnt work. When the Casino Control Commission went down there on opening day to check out that all of the things had been done, many things hadnt been done. They shut down a third of the slots. Slots that were critical to the casinos success. The slots are the prime revenue producer of the casino. To shut down a third on opening day was both humiliating and financially disastrous. It was only done because he didnt have, you know, an organization in depth. That wasnt the story trump told. Something could go bad like the opening of the taj, and he would say its because we had so much business here that this happened. Not that the systems broke down, not that we didnt know what we were doing. We had so much business it broke down. Truly, he would just lie about everything. And he did. What about the slot machine thing where they were down for a while . The slots were so hot, nobody again, nobody has seen people play that hard and that fast. So it blew out the slots literally . Blew apart. Too much. Blew a fuse . Donald is so wrapped up in hyperbole, its almost constant lies. You know, whether its the littlest things where, if you had 2,000 people at an event, he would say theres 5,000 people at an event. Lying when there seems to be no reason to lie. Theres no belief system. If it will work, i will say it. If it stops working, ill say its opposite and i wont feel any compunction because i dont believe anything in the first place. Lying when its in his political interest. As he did last july after his Disastrous Press Conference with vladimir putin, trying to walk back this remark on election interference. My people came to me, dan coats came to me and some others. They said they think its russia. I have president putin, he just said its not russia. I will say this. I dont see any reason why it would be. A key sentence in my remarks, i said the word would instead of wouldnt. The sentence should have been i dont see any reason why i wouldnt or why it wouldnt be russia. Seeing it from his perspective doesnt make a distinction between whats true and whats false. His only distinction is what will work and what will not work. And what happens when hes challenged with facts . What does he do . He has a genius perverse genius for turning any situation into something that is evidence of his brilliance. Even if its not true. And one more thing about Donald Trumps father, who was really born in new york, as we said. In the art of the deal trump says he was born in new jersey. Go figure, jim. Yeah, challenge him on that and see what he comes up with. Yeah, right. Maybe somewhere else. The transcript moment after the helsinki thing is one of my biggest head scratchers.

He says he wants to go in a tougher direction. The white house informed Congress Thursday that it is withdrawing the nomination of the man. Cnn White House Correspondent joe johns joining me now. Do we know why he didnt think he was tough enough for him . Still a mystery to us, quite frankly. Yes, we were out on the south lawn just a little while ago, jim, and the president was asked by one of my colleagues about withdrawing the nomination of ron vitello, and the president said he wanted to go in a different direction, as you said, a tougher direction. He didnt say anything bad about him, so the mystery remains. It also remains on capitol hill, where even some members of the Judiciary Committee were mystified about the withdrawal suddenly of the nomination. We know that on paper at least he has a lot of job experience that would seem to qualify. Hes been the acting director for a long time. We do know also from some reporting from Cnns Jim Acosta that there were some concerns here at the white house, at least, expressed by stephen miller, one of the president s top advisers, about this nomination. We also know that he had a couple other problems including some controversial posts on social media, and apparently, the union has objected to his nomination as well. But beyond that, its just not clear why the administration suddenly decided it was going to go in a different direction on this nomination. At a very important time, obviously, for the administration, with the president heading out right now to the southern border, jim. The president on his way to the border, trying to explain why he reversed himself on his dramatic promise, threat to close the border this week. Now singing a different tune. Right. Singing a different tune, nonetheless, the president said as he has said on twitter already that he wasnt changing his mind about the border. He suggested he still might close the border if the situation warrants. Nonetheless, he did give mexico credit for handling its business on people coming through from the southern border, so a bit of praise for mexico in the circumstance. The truth behind the story, as we all know, is one of the big factors was the Economic Impact on the United States if the president were to take that step, jim. Joe johns at the white house, thanks very much. As President Trump heads to the southern border, democrats ramp up the pressure on his administration, please stay with cnn. Well be on top of it.

Hello, im erica hill in for kate bolduan. Right now, President Trump is on his way to visit the u. S. Border with mexico.
