President trump touting his legislative record but he mighting giving himself a bit too much credit. President claimed he has signed the most legislation of any president. That claim doesnt quite pass fact check. And for the 87th time since he was sworn into office, the president got back on the golf course, not that we have to could actually prove it, because what happened yesterday was a giant truck here actually blocked reporters from capturing on camera his 87th day at one of his golf courses since taking office. Lets get the latest from cnns sara murray. Reporter good morning. Wednesday was another quiet one for President Trump on his vacation, but he did make one surprise stop visiting a local fire house to greet firefighters and tout his legislative achievements. We have signed more legislation than anybody and broke the record of harry truman. Saying if we get the big tax cut because thats the ledgislation. It included the repeal of the individual mandate. Thats where you have the privilege of paying a lot of money so you dont have to buy health insurance. Reporter President Trump obviously riding this wave of victory. As for the notion that hes been more productive in the white house than previous occupants, that one doesnt hold up to fact checks. In fact he has signed fewer bills than any administration dating back toiz eisenhower. On wednesday, it was a little bit tougher, a big white box truck suddenly appeared to block the shot. Unclear who commissioned it, but not any pedestrian. Seems particular sensitive about images of President Trump on the golf course. All right. President trump trying to bolster his claims of passing the most legislation by setting his rollback of legislation. A lot were avoided. In the case of builders and farmers and so many others, they can now go back to doing their jobs. We have the alltime record. As for that mysterious truck blocking the president s golf swing, a spokesperson says the agency has nothing to do with this. The Palm Beach Sheriffs Office also denying any responsibility. Did we see a closeup of the driver . Because the drivers sitting like this in the truck got his arm over his face. He doesnt does he have a maga on his hat . All right the irs responding to the lines of people rushing to prepay the 2018 property taxes. Homeowners trying to take advantage before its scaled back. The irs says you can prepay, but, heres the thing chlg the payment may not be tax deductible. The agency released a statement saying this. State or local law determines whether and when a property tax is assessed which is generally when the taxpayer becomes liable for the property tax imposed. So the clarification led to questions about whether local governments may have to refund millions to taxpayers while some counties have allowed to prepayment, others are scrambling to make sure others can do so. Confusion comes as both the irs and taxpayers are trying to determine what the biggest tax overhaul in three decades means to the bottom line. The brother of former National Security adviser Michael Flynn pleading for a pardon from the president. Joseph flynn, about time you pardoned general flynn who has taken the biggest fall for all of you. He then deleted the post shortly thereafter. Michael flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the fbi about contacts. Flynns brother is organizing a Legal Defense fund. About two weeks ago President Trump told reporters he doesnt want to talk about pardons yet, adding well see what happens. Republican congressman Francis Rooney walking back from remarks critical. Im very concerned that the doj and fbi, whether you want to call it deep state or not are kind of off the rail. I would like to see the directors of those agencies purge it. Rooneys remarks echoing the sentiments of several other Republican Trump allies. Rooney now says he shouldnt have used the word purge but maintains the fbi should oust anybody who is politically compromised. Are you sure you want to be throwing a word like purge around . Well, it might be a pretty strong word. Im not maybe the most nuanced political person in the world coming from a career in business. As an american citizen im nervous people would have those kinds of lack of impartiality. Talking about sent antitrump texts. Now karen bass, saying she found the comments frightening. I want to sit down and talk to him about the mccarthy era because im not sure he remembers the cold war. The type hes talking about harkens back to the cold war when there was a purge by mccarthy. It sows distrust in our institution and i think its irresponsible and maybe he needs a history lessen. Republicans are quote laying the foundation for there to be mistrust in the process. Steve bannon cutting ties with the move comes after a number of controversial tweets. One revealing hes reading a book about jewish culture widely considered by antisemitic. Breitbart has supported him in the past but now one of the advisers says hes quote, dead to us. 84 to 16 in 2016. A new poll on americas most admired person likely to aggravate President Trump. 17 of the polled name president obama. The good news for the president , the gap narrows from seven points last year to three this year. When it comes to the most admired woman, Hillary Clinton remains the top spot for the 16th year running. Michele obama. Not sure what you make of the republican side of that. Is nikki haley the frontrunner for the next republican candidate, whenever donald trump exits. How about this. Russia is accusing the u. S. Of interfering with its election. Yeah, you heard right. Now the secretary of state with the revealing op ed this morning discussing russia and north korea. Live in moscow. And the paths they took to a new home. Could their journey inspire yours . Order your kit at ancestrydna. Com secretary state said america should be encouraged. In a New York Times op ed he defends President Trump for abandoning what he calls the failed policy of strategic patience. Much of tillerson writes we hope this internation International Isolation b dialogue remains open but we have made it clear the regime must make its way back to the negotiating table. Tillerson also says china should do more by putting more economic pressure on pyongyang. In his op ed he also says of russia, quote, there are no illusions about the regime and their meddling in our election. He says the relationship is poor but need to work together. This comes as russia accuses the u. S. Of weight for it meddling in its upcoming election. Thats right. Lefts go to moscow with the latest. Reporter thats what the russians are saying or at least the spokes woman. She was saying that yesterday. She believes some of the comments coming out of the state department were what she called a direct meddling. Its question interesting. This was a regular press statement that is often given by the state department. This was in regards to an opposition candidate being barred from running. The state Department Said theyre concerned about not all candidates being allowed to run. Thats why the spokeswoman said that. It is quite an interesting take. But comes within a barrage of criticism. You were just mentioning that op sed that Rex Tillerson wrote. He was saying one the areas he thinks there could be cooperation would be in syria. He says within the process were trying to get peace, he believes it could be the end of the rule. The russians see that differently. Theyve propped him up. Hes stronger than he was at the beginning of this coniflicconfl. It doesnt look like theyre going in the same direction. At the same time you have major criticism coming from the russian chief of staff of the military accusing the United States of training former isis fighters at a base in southeastern syria. The u. S. Says yes, they do. Have a presence there, but theyre training moderate rubbles to try to combat isis if in fact isis tries to get back to that area. As you can see, theres been a lot of criticism coming from the russians toward the United States over the past 24 hours or so. So, if secretary of state tillerson wrote that op ed and he feels there will be cooperation from the russians it certainly is going to be a very, very tall task, at least from what weve been hearing over the past couple of hours. Live for us in moscow. Thanks. As for north korea, the Trump Administration is planning to take a quieter tone to avoid antagonizing the rogue regime. A Senior Administration official telling cnn they plan fob more quiet and discrete about military exercises. Theyve hoping this will help u. S. Diplomats in ongoing talks. We have more from the pentagon. Reporter the u. S. Intelligence committee, keeping a sharp eye as always on north korea. There are preliminary signs cnn has been told that the north again is moving equipment around. Is it aimed at another upcoming Ballistic Missile test . Are they planning to launch a satellite . Two say we simply dont know. This comes at a very sensitive time. The olympics in south korea are coming up in the next weeks. And the u. S. Military is saying it will keep a more quiet view. It will not be talking so much about any upcoming training or exercises because of the sensitivities in the region. Typically, the pentagon talks about it, it wants north korea to know that this is training that it is routine business, that these are not upcoming military operations. But the sensitivities in the region right now, the effort to get a diplomatic solution, is leading the pentagon to pull back publicly on its own discussion about exercises. But now, it will be up to President Trump to decide whether he is going to take that line or he may once again engage in very aggressive public rhetor rhetoric. All right.

The president also getting back on the golf course, not that we can prove it because a giant truck wound up blocking reporters from capturing his 87th day at this golf course since taking office. We get the latest from sara murray. Reporter good morning. Wednesday was another quiet one for President Trump on his vacation to maralago here in florida, but he did make one surprise stop visiting a local fire house to greet firefighters and south his legislative achievements. We have signed more legislation than anybody. We broke the record of harry truman and saying if we get this big tax cut because thats the legislation of all legislations. Thats the biggest there is. But that included ag war as you know and the repeal. Thats where you have the privilege of paying a lot of money so you dont have to buy health insurance. The most unpopular which most people thought should have been unconstitutional. President trump obviously riding this wave of victory after the sweeping overhaul of the tax system. But as for the notion hes been more productive than previous occupants that doesnt hold up to fact checks. Nchgt in fact he has signed fewer bills than any administration dating back to eisenhower. While wn has been able to get pictures of him on the golf course in previous days, on wednesday it was a little bit tougher. A box truck appeared to block the shot. Unclear who petitioned it. This is a white house that seems particular sensitive about President Trump on the golf course. Thank you. Whatever reason might be the particular swing we caught on camera the prior day. But meanwhile the president trying to bolster his claims by setting his roll back of regulations. You can go back to work and do your jobs. The in the case of builders, farmers and so many others. They can go back to doing their job. We have the alltime record for stopping ridiculous regulations and very proud of that. Now back to that mysterious truck blocking the president s golf swing. The spokesperson from the secret service said the agency had nothing to do with it. Palm beach Sheriffs Office denying responsibility. Irs responding to people rushing to i pay the property taxes. The irs is saying you can prepay, but the payment may not be tax deductible. The agency released this statement saying quote, state or local law determines whether and when a property tax is assessed, which is generally when the taxpayer becomes liable for the property tax imposed. So this clarification led to the question whether local government the may have to refund millions to taxpayers, when some counties have allowed for prepayment, others are scrambling to figure it out. They want to assure those who want to pay can do so if they cant guarantee it will be deductible. The confusion comes as both the irs and taxpayers are trying to figure out what the tax overhaul means to the bottom line. Brother of Michael Flynn pleading for a pardon. He replied with this. About time you pardoned general flynn who has taken the biggest fall for all of you given the ill legitimacy of this crime. He then deleted the post. Flynn pleaded guilty belying to the fbi. Flynns brother is organizing a Legal Defense fund. About two weeks ago President Trump said he didnt want to talk about pardons yet. Republican congressman Francis Rooney walking back on remarks critical of the fbi and Justice Department. Im very concerned about that the doj and fbi are kind of off the rails. I dont want to discredit them. I would like to see the directors purging. Rooneys remarks echoing the sentiments of several other Republican Trump allies ratcheting up criticism of the fbi and Justice Department as the special counsels investigation moves forward. Rooney now saying he shouldnt have used the word purge but maintains they should oust anyone who is politically compromised. Are you sure you want to be throwing a word like purge around . Well, it it might be a pretty stong word. Im not maybe the most nuanced political person in the world but im pretty frustrated. The as an american citizen im nervous and discontent that people would have those kinds of lack of impartiality. On that point, rooney is referring to the fbi agent who was removed from the special counsels team after it was found out he sent antitrump texts during the campaign. Now karen bass, a member of the House Judiciary Committee she found the comments frightening. I want to sit down and talk to him about the mccarthy era because im not sure if he railroads the cold war. Hes old enough, but the type of purges hes talking about harkens back to the cold war when there was a purge by mccar that to find communists hidden in the federal government. It sows distrust in our institutions and i think its irresponsible and maybe he needs a history lesson. Bass said its very sad theyre laying the foundation for there to be mistrust in the process. Steve bannon cutting ties with the challenger of paul ryan. The move comes after paul him publishing tweets. Another tweets he uses the hashtag its okay to be white. Breitbart has supported nahim i the past. A new poll on americas most admired person likely to aggravate President Trump. 17 polled named president obama compared to 14 who named President Trump. Good news, for trump the gap narrows. When it comes to the most admired woman, Hillary Clinton remains the top spot for the 16th year running. Michele obama at second place at 7 , the highest ranking republican women or Condoleezza Rice and nikki haley receiving 1 of the votes. Many feel nikki haley after all this could be the first female president. That suggests maybe its a possibility down the road. Maybe it is. Heres a twist for you. Russia accusing the u. S. Of interfering with its elections. Now the secretary of state with a revealing op ed this morning discussing russia and north korea. Live in moscow. Paul neh welcome back. Americans are ending 2017 feeling upbeat about the economy that is. Consumer confidence is close to a 17year high. It dipped a bit in december but analysts say expectations are at historically strong levels. That means the feelinggood feeling could continue into next year. Key factors, the stronger job market, stock market rally, tax reform and regulatory rollbacks. Unemployment at a 17year low. Also lots of job openings. Consumer spending also up. That could fuel even more growth since Consumer Spending accounts for the lions share. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson said americans should be encouraged. Especially when it comes to north korea. In a New York Times op ed he defends President Trump for abandoning what he calls the failed policy of strategic patience. He said the u. S. And allies have cut off 90 . He says he hopes the isolation will pressure the regime into serious negotiations. A dialogue remains open but we have to make it clear or have made it clear that the regime must earn its way back to the negotiating table until denuclear ration occurs, the pressure will continue. Also doing more to put economic pressure on pyongyang. Also, he says there are no illusions about the regime and adding their meddling in our elections and others, says the relationship is poor but need to work together. This comes as russia accuses the United States of meddling in its election. Reporter good morning. There have been a couple of statements from the kremlin and Russian Foreign ministry accusing foreign powers are trying to meddle in russian elections. Vladimir putin said it earlier this year, and then now the Foreign Ministry is saying the same thing, saying a comment made by the state department where the u. S. Said it was concerned that some of the candidates tried to run in the upcoming election are being barred from doing so. They say thats meddling in the election. That was absolutely normal statement, not a change in tone in any way from what the state department has been saying in any case. So its quite interesting to hear what theyre saying about that. At the same time, you have those statements by secretary of state tillerson in that New York Times op ed where hes saying one of the areas where perhaps there could be cooperation could be in syria, and secretary of state tillerson also saying he believes that the ent of a process of negotiation, he believes we could see the end of the regime in syria. Le we managed to get in h touch with the kremlin and the spokesman for Vladimir Putin tells us he doesnt believe there is any cooperation between the u. S. And russia at this point in time. He doesnt he thinks it would be a good idea if there was but there simply is nothing. To take that even further, the Russian Military is now accusing the u. S. Of training former isis fighters in order to destabilize the situation in syria. All this happening at a base in the southeast of syria. The u. S. Says it does have forces there, it is training folks there, but the u. S. Says its doing that to ensure isis cant return to some of those areas it was ousted from earlier in the year. Thanks. As for north korea, the Trump Administration is planning to take a quieter tone to avoid antagonizing the rogue regime. A Senior Administration official telling cnn they plan to be more quiet and discreet about exercises with south korea and japan. Hoping this will defuse the crisis. Cnns barbara star has more from the pentagon. Reporter the u. S. Intelligence community, military keeping a very sharp eye as always on north korea. There are preliminary signs cnn has been told that the north is moving equipment around. Is it aimed at another upcoming ballistic test . Are they preparing to launch a satellite on top of a rocket . Too early to say. This comes at a very sensitive time. The olympics in south korea are coming up. The u. S. Military is saying it will keep a more quiet view.
