Im dave briggs. 100 Degree Temperatures for redding, california. We will have an update for you straight ahead. We start with politics. Signs that north korea could be building more missiles. The Washington Post reporting Satellite Images show that work is under way on the new Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles in the suburb of pyongyang. If true, the work of the icbms would be a serious blow to the diplomatic efforts between President Trump and kim jongun. For the latest, lets bring in Paula Hancocks in seoul. Six weeks ago, you remember the President Tweeting there is no longer a threat from north
korea. What about these claims, paula . Reporter dave, even then it was thought that north korea observers it was premature. The Washington Post report saying one or two Liquid Fuel Icbms are currently being built in north korea. One official tells cnn this is consistent with what is known. Kim jongun is not fully agreed to denuclearization after the summit with President Trump. He agreed to work toward denuclearization. Also, we understand from the u. S. Official, that washington is not too worried about the Liquid Fuel Icbms for the reason they take so long to put together. That the u. S. Intelligence agencies would have advance warning. Clearly the challenge at this point according to the u. S. Official for the Trump Administration is to find out
exactly what the north koreans have and what is in the program ahead of kim jongun Giving Inconvenieventory and potentialg he would give that up. Many experts saying they are likely to try to hide some of their facilities. Are there secret facilities . Will they admit to the arsenal they have here . This is an issue that previous administrations have come up against and now this is an issue for the trauump administration well. Dave. Curious how the president tweets about this in the days ahead. Paula, thank you. A white house official now confirming what is plainly obvious. The president s press team is not coordinating with Rudy Giuliani concerning his comments on behalf of mr. Trumps legal team. That was apparent monday when giuliani went on to make a series of bizarre claims on new day including the fact that he is not sure that collusion with
russia is even a crime. Now, for context, the Criminal Code does not use the word collusion. That is true. It is also generally understood that as a broad term, that could include more specific crimes like conspiracy. Giuliani also suggested before the trump tower meeting with the russians in 2016, several trump aides met for a premeeting to discuss strategy. Lannie said there was a meeting two days before with donald junior and jared and manafort and two others. Gates and one more person. It is important to know, rick gates, the righthand man to Paul Manafort, is cooperating with special Counsel Robert Muellers investigation. After requests for clarity, Rudy Giuliani later said the meeting never happened and insists his description came from questions by reporters. Speaking overnight, giuliani appeared to blame the confusion
on the New York Times reporters who compelled him to potentially spin a damaging story. Got that . No. Lets bring in phil wegmann. Phil, good morning. What is going on with Rudy Giuliani right now . The confusion is everywhere. He was all over the place yesterday. I want to let you listen to just a little bit of what the folks over at fox news had to say. Political editor had this to say about it and we will come back and talk about it. It became apparent that as giuliani was listening, he said egad. I made a mess. I better clear it up. Line one, long time viewer, first time caller. Rudy from new york. What do you have to say . No ditto today. I tend to agree with mr. Hume on this which is i do not think
this is strategic chaos. I think this is just plain chaos. So, phil, is chris right about this . Is this just chaos . It seems to fit the brand of the administration when it comes to crisis communications. Giuliani is out in front of the cameras and it is clear he is not coordinating with Sarah Sanders or anybody else in the white house. This is creating more problems than fixing. The main take away, the main policy take away was that the president s Laura Degrwyer Agre the president. It is no longer that trump did not collude with the russians, but even if trump did collude, it is no longer a crime. That is something the president has been saying since december. Something he has been able to get away with putting it out there. The difference is now giuliani is saying or codifying that
sentiment especially with the foreign powers who may be interested in running a similar play in 2018 or 2020. My take away is this tap of the head apparend hit on the ta did not come up with good strategy for giuliani. President trump reiterated the claim along side the Prime Minister of italy saying if he doesnt get that big beautiful wall, he is prepared to do a shutdown. Listen. After many, many years of talk within the united states, i would have no problem doing a shutdown. Its time we had proper border security. When Republican Leadership was asked about this, they collectively said meh. John thune said i hope it is a negotiating tactic. I recognize the look of the Republican Leadership. It is one my kids give me when i make a completely hollow threat. What do you make of the reaction
of republicans based on the threat of the shutdown . On one hand it is understandable. Donald trump from the very beginning said he wants the border wall. That is his main brand. Republicans have not delivered on. That on the other hand, donald trump is in interesting territory. What he is in danger of doing is implying to his base. Those people in the house and senate cannot give me a border walla as it is. Why show up to vote. President trump has tax cuts. He will have a Second Supreme Court justice. It is a Head Scratcher as to why he would bring up the Shutdown Threat rather than talk about actual accomplishments. Phil, does President Trump care if republicans lose the house in november . An interesting editorial in the Wall Street Journal that suggests he may be okay with a
nancy pelosi. Goes on to say, mr. Trump may not welcome a democratic house, but not fear it as long as republicans keep the senate. What is your take . Does he care . President trump has had a hard enough life as it is when republicans are control of the house. He will not enjoy life when there are all sorts of talks of impeach. With people in the house impeachment with people in the house probing into his personal business. Trump is more transactional than ideological. He may survive if democrats take over the house. It is a different ball game if they do. Lets not kid ourselves. Life is more comfortable for him as long as a republican is banging the gavel. Ill give you the most influential donors on the right. Koch brothers are not making it easy. They are prepared to spend millions, but not giving it all to republicans. Not backing the republican running against heitkamp in that senate race. How significant is that break . Based on the fact that republicans have forgotten conservative financial principles. This is huge. It shows that the Koch Brothers are more interested in principled wins than trump tribalism. They will back candidates who are in support of free trade and support of welcoming immigration policy. I think what this really does is this takes the wind out of the sails from a lot of people on the left who want to make the Koch Brothers the political boogie men. This is more about policy than partisan wins. That is why we see a lot of feathers ruffled on the right with this announcement. There are still conservatives concerned about massive deficits. Phil, good to see you. Thank you. Jury selection begins this morning in the federal trial of former Trump Campaign chairman Paul Manafort for alleged financial crimes. It is the first public test for special Counsel Robert Mueller and his prosecutors. We have more from evan perez in washington. Reporter dave and laura, Paul Manafort, the former campaign chairman, is going on trial in Virginia On Federal Tax and bank fraud charges. This is the first trial to come from Robert Muellers investigation. Dont expect the trial to be about russia or collusion or President Trump.
