Confronting internal revolt over the House Health Care bill and his unsubstantiated claim that president Obama Wiretapped phones at trump tower. A lot of americans need to know. Reporter amid this turmoil, fbi director james comey could confirm today whether the bureau is investigating ties between Trumps Campaign and russia. Leaders of a Senate Judiciary subcommittee also Hopeful Comey will also respond to their request to provide evidence regarding the wiretapping acquisition. Theyre about to screw up big time if they keep running to the Intel Committee and not answer that letter. Reporter earlier this week sean spicer qualified trumps accusation, but now hes sounding defiant. He feels very confident it will ultimately come of this, it will vindicate him. Reporter lawmakers on both sides of the aisle showing growing frustration about the white houses failure to provide any evidence to support trumps extraordinary claim. I think, frankly, the
administration should come forward with whatever proof they have. Leveling a charge like that is a huge deal. You do not make those kinds of allegations, criminal allegations against a former president as he did so recklessly. Reporter this as the white house battles criticism from gop conservatives and moderates over the trump endorsed Health Care Plan following the release of the Nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office report estimating 24 million more americans will be uninsured by 2026 under the gops replacement plan. Right now im a firm no. I candidly dont see how we get to 216. Im concerned. Thats not what President Trump promised. Thats not what republicans ran on. Reporter one top gop source saying, quote, headlines are terrible, fraying nerves within the gop. Reporter republican senator Lisa Murkowski refusing to
allegations, russia on mind. The man on your screen, republican senator Lindsey Graham of south carolina. Hes a member of the judiciary and Armed Services committees. You will get face time with james comey, the director of the fbi today. You have criticized that the fbi has not been forthcoming enough to your liking. Number one, Director Comey will not appear before the Judiciary Committee. Hes not a witness. We have four people who will talk about what russia does all over the world to interfere with democracies, the tools in their tool box. We wrote a letter, senator white dlooes house and myself wanting to know if theres evidence of a warrant issued by the Trump Campaign. He hasnt answered that letter or confirmed if theres a Trl Investigation of the Trump Campaign. He needs to answer the letter and give the nation some information about whats going on here. Three things. One, i thought he was coming today before the Judiciary Committee to say whether or not hes investigating ties between russia and the trump
administration. Thats not true . No. Theres a misunderstanding here. Two weeks ago we met with Director Comey, senator whitehouse and myself. I told him by The 15th Of March id like to know if theres a Criminal Investigation because im about to launch a congressional investigation of russia. I dont want to interfere with your investigation. I think its very important that Congress Know whether or not theres a Criminal Investigation so that what were doing doesnt interfere with what comey may be doing. If theres not a Criminal Investigation of the trump ties to russia, i think the country needs to know it, Congress Needs to know it, and he has never promised to answer that quest n question. Chairman grassley said something very important yesterday, that he would be willing to block the Deputy Attorney generals nomination until Director Comey gave us the information we sought regarding warrants and investigations. So nothing could happen today in terms o of the fbi. He may decide not to come forward. Youre saying hes not on the plan and hasnt answered your letter. So what we would do next is subpoena the information. I like Director Comey. Hes in a bad spot here. You have the current president accusing the former president of basically having his campaign surveilled. The way you would do that is get a warrant either through the fisa court or a criminal court. I want to get to the bottom of it. The fbi would know if a warrant was issued, they would know if a warrant was applied for. I want to answer that question. If they do not provide the answer to that letter we wrote in a bipartisan fashion, there will be a bipartisan subpoena following the fbi. Hold on a second. You gave the fbi until the ides of march, march 15th i dont know if that was intentional. That was a dramatic play. If he does not come before the committee today, if he does not fond to the letter, youll subpoena the fbi. I never asked him to appear in person today. I like comey. I think hes a good man. I want to know dont you want to know if theres a Criminal Investigation of the Trump Campaign . Yeah. Dont you want to know if theres a warrant issued . You will subpoena the fbi, is that what youre saying . I will subpoena the information requested in the letter with the support of my chairman Senator Grassley who has been terrific. The n Rahhinging Democrat is senator feinstein. They have helped senator whitehouse and myself. Congress is going to flex its muscles. The president of the United States asked congress to look into this as to whether or not the Trump Campaign was surveilled during the 2016 election by the federal government. Im going to get to the bottom of it. If it needs a subpoena to get there, thats what well do. The subpoena would be for the wiretapping, not for information about any evidence linking russian interference to anybody in the trump orbit . You got it. We want to know if a warrant was ever issued, the information provided to the judge or judges in question, what did you give
them . Did they give you a warrant . I want to know that. Thats the letter which would be backed up by subpoena. The question is there an active investigation of the Trump Campaign regarding their ties to russia . No one has ever told me there is. Director of National Intelligence clapper said a couple weeks ago on his watch there was no evidence of collusion between the Trump Campaign and the russians. So i want to know that this has been raised by the current president , i think congress should look into all things russia. If theres a Criminal Investigation, chris, i dont want to get in the middle of that, because that should be protected. Thats why youre not going to include it in the subpoena. Right. You also implied that you dont think theres anything to the wiretapping allegation. You think the president put it out as a distraction. Youve been one of the proponents of the simple logic is he should pick up the phone. Jim comey is not going to duck him the way hes ducking you. Thats his boss. He could know the information right away and declassify the information. Is that true . Number one, i dont know if the president can pick up the phone and ask questions about an investigation of his campaign. The bottom line is people have asked the president to deliver any information you have, the trump people, about what may have occurred. Theyve given us nothing. Ive seen no evidence of collusion between the Trump Campaign and russia. Ive seen no evidence of a wiretap being requested by the department of justice, a warrant. But the longer it takes to answer my letter, the more concerned and si suspicious im beginning to be. I think the law is fairly clear. Whether she should is an ethical consideration. You can talk about that all day. It might be legal, too, actually. So i dont know. The flip side of it is this. People say you keep talking about the russian connections and contacts and theres nothing there. Clapper came out and said theres no proof of collusion. Comey has not jumped at the
chance to tell you what hes doing with any russian investigation. This is about political hate directed towards the president. I dont have political hate directed towards the president. Ive talked to him twice in the last week, had great conversations about health care and national security. But the president raised this issue a week or so ago saying he believed his campaign was wiretapped by the former president. There would be a way to find that out. Once you raise it, youve got to answer the question. Is there a warrant . Was a warrant ever issued by any judge anywhere in america to allow the Trump Campaign to be wiretapped . Im going to find the answer to that. If there is a Criminal Investigation on going regarding the Trump Campaign and their ties to russia, i want to know. Im going to pursue all things russia because here is what i do know, the russians tried to interfere with our election. I dont think they changed the outcome. It wasnt a 400pound guy sitting on his bed who hacked into the dnc. It was russian intelligence services. They took that information, gave it to wikileaks and tried to
basically embarrass secretary clinton, and if we dont stop russia, it could be iran and china tomorrow. It could be republicans on the Receiving End of this. Those are separate considerations, right . Right. Why they did and how they did what they did as russia, thats something everybody believes deserves inspection. Whether or not trump had something to do with it is a separate inquiry. Absolutely. To this point there hasnt been any proof of that. Youre right. I have seen no hefd. I have requested whether or not any evidence exists. To get a warrant to follow the Trump Campaign, theres two ways you can do it, the Foreign Intelligence Services act would allow you to follow Campaign Operatives if you believe theyre interacting with foreign agents. The second way is a criminal warrant to follow the Trump Campaign if you believe theyre taking services from a Foreign Government in violation of our campaign laws. I want to know were either of those warrants ever issued. I dont believe they were, but the longer it takes to answer that question, the more suspicious i get. Senator, lets get at the real question thats behind all this. You either believe whats coming out of this white house or you dont. Thats something you guys are having to deal with. I know theres a lot of spin. I know what politics is. I grew up in it. Right. But this is different. Do you believe whats coming out of this white house on a daily basis, or do you feel that you have to check everything these days . Well, i dont believe that the statement made by President Trump that he believes the Obama Administration surveilled his campaign is something very, very serious. And he challenged the continue to get to the bottom of it, and i will. You cant leave that hanging. In termination of the president s efforts to Reform Health care, ive been impressed by how much time hes spent as a person to try to get a better bill. Republicans have an opportunity to do this by ourselves. We also have an opportunity to screw it up by ourselves. Right now the house bill in my view will have a hard time getting through the senate. Rand paul says he cant vote for refundable tax credits in the house bill because thats an entitlement in another name. Medicaid in the house bill allows for open enrollment for another year and a half to two years, and thats a problem for me. The president is working hard to find a bill that will replace obamacare. My advice to the president , if you cant find a better plan coming from republicans, dont buy it just because the republicans want to sell it to you. Let Obamacare Collapse, and it will. Then try to replace it in a bipartisan fashion. Thats what i would recommend he do. I want to hear from you before we let you go about why you think obamacare is going to collapse. But i want to go back to one question i didnt get an answer from you on. I said do you believe whats coming out of the white house on a regular basis. On the wiretapping allegation, i get that because the president raised it and put it on you, you have an opportunity to dig into
it. Im asking you, just like with wiretapping which you dont seem to buy, do you feel that has become part of the normal now which is, they say things that arent necessarily true which you have to check up on . Well, i think every president says things sometimes that doesnt work out. This was at another level. I never heard this before he accused the president of a felony, called him a bad or sick man. Right. He didnt seem to base it on fringe reporting. Right. I want to make sure that the accusation that the former president was involved in surveilling the current president is put to bed forever. As to this president , i had a good conversation about how to rebuild the military. Were talking closely about health care, how you can put an Infrastructure Bill together. I want to work with President Trump. Its not a Credibility Problem other than this one issue to me has to be solved. Well leave the deeper discussion about health care to another day when we understand
the politics a little better from where we are right now. Youre still dealing with the cbo score. We know russia is a priority. We will continue to cover it. We will not be distracted. Great ger view clarifying a lot of open questions this morning. Coming up for us here, the showdown over health care. Which of these plans is best for americans .

How do these two plans actually stack up against one another . Lets talk about this with two experts, former health and Human Services secretary under president george w. Bush Tommy Thompson as well as former Acting Administrator for the centers for Medicare And Medicaid services, andy slovet. Nice to have you here. Governor thompson, i want your response as someone who is very supportive of this bill. I assume you agree with spicer that this is the one shot that the republicans have to undo obamacare. But here is how republican Senator Tom Button sees it. I believe he is behind it. There is no threestep plan. That is political talk, some mythical legislation in the future that is going to garner democratic support and help us get over 60 votes in the senate. If we had those democrat it votes, we wouldnt need three steps. You know, senator Lindsey Graham said to chris moments ago that he would advise the president not to buy a republican plan just because republican plans are selling it to him. His advice would be, if this isnt the right plan, let Obamacare Collapse and then do something about it. Why do you think its the wrong assessment . Im not saying its the wrong assessment. Im saying were just starting the process. There is a great opportunity to make a bill that will work well for the american public. Thats why i have the full confidence in paul ryan and the republicans getting it accomplished. The bill now is going to be the bill that will end up on the
president s desk. Everyone knows that. Its going through the trek, the traverses of congress. Its going to take a lot of amendments, a lot of concessions. Thats going to come. The same way the obamacare bill, if you remember back obamacare was written by Speaker Pelosi in the house and henry Reid Harry Reid in the senate. They had to pat another bill three months later in order do make the bills work and gave the power to the secretary of health. All that is going to take place. Weve got a great chance to make this bill a very good bill. I hear you, but that often takes time. What were hearing right now is this urgency, this expediency thats needed so this can get done by the end of april, so broader tax reform can get done by the end of august. Would you say to your fellow republicans slow down . I would say lets improvem t improvement. Lets see how we can make this bill better. There are tremendous
opportunities to improve for more people. Its the same way with all legislation, it takes a long time to get a good piece of legislation through both houses. This is a controversial subject. Health care is very, very complex. It is complex and it takes a long time. Youre hearing from the white house and other republicans we dont have that time right now. Andy, let me bring you into this. You ran two of these big agencies, the centers for Medicare And Medicaid. When you look at what needs to happen to get something that works for the american people, you need the Insurance Companies to play ball, to be happy and stay on board. Part of the fundamental crisis for families with obamacare, they cant afford it. Not enough young people got into the risk pool and you had big providers like humana and aetna pulling out. In some places folks only had one option to buy their individual coverage. How do you change things for the insurer so you dont have aetna
saying we pulled out because we saw more than 430 million losses in this since 2014. I think you have to evaluate what does this bill actually do. It does a come things. It instantly drives the cost up by an additional 15 to 20 by taking away some of the things that drove the Healthy People into the market in the first place. It sends it the wrong direction. As a result of that, 14 Million People will lose coverage, scheduled to go to 24 million. On top of that, you have the basic program that covers seniors, people with disabilities, people with low incomes slash by about 25 to pay for a tax cut. Its hard to figure out how to get some place better from those starting points. I think the insurers look at that and say youre taking away the major protection, the individual mandate thats
causing people to get into the market and drive more Healthy People into the market, this is not going to head in the right direction. I hear you, but that doesnt answer my question as to how does this plan how do you believe, andy, you would fix the fundamental problem with obamacare . I think the thing that, if you go back and look at the aca and look at what improvements can be made, there are some. I think one of the major things weve learned is people above 400 of Poverty Level in certain states have had their costs go up too much. Theres youve got to fix that surgically. You dont start that by starting from scratch. You fix that by extending Subsidy Levels higher, extending the reinsurance which worked in the first several years of the a krnchtsa aaca. 2015 about 8 to 10 billion intended to stabilize rates was taken out by congress. That drove the costs up. Thats responsible for some of the lack of competition we have. Easy to fix. I think this cbo report and s p have both said the market is moving to a place of stability. If we change our thinking and get focused on surgical changes, we can get there. Were out of time, gentlemen, thank you for joining us, youll both be back. We need to be bipartisan, and the rates are going down in the republican plan, not under obamacare. Going down in a few years, up the next two to three years. Thank you very much. We will have you back, i promise. Up against a break. Thank you. Also tonight, a big thing youre going to want to watch.

After anything that attacks the Trump Administration. Now the congressional budget office, theyre being attacked by the Trump Administration for their report scoring the gops Current Health plan. This is not the first time. Several institutions have been taken on since the early days of the presidency, even before, federal judges, the media for sure, intelligence agencies. Cnn political commentator jason miller, former communications at visor for the Trump Campaign is with us. Good to have you with us. Good morning. Karen finney, former Senior Adviser and senior spokesperson for hillary for america. I always enjoyed having both of you on during the campaign. You like to get after it. Lets do it now. Well get to these institutions. For one quick headline, it is circulating around. We are not saying it. I cannot prove it. It says client copy on these selfserving couple of pages from the 2005 taxes, paint a
good picture of trump. Fueled speculation did he have thing to do with the leak. There are others on morning tv going much farther and saying its painfully obvious he leaked it. You know everyone around him. Do you think theres a chance this happened . Not at all. I think this is a complete joke to make a crazy allegation like this. Further, i think it goes for journalist whose are making such claims, it really is a knock on people who are out there doing good work in journalism and fighting for free press. I think this makes people at home look at and say how much can i believe of what im seeing on tv or reading in the newspapers. In fairness, it wasnt coming from a journalist, but a pundit. You have to know what you show, make your case. Thats why this show tries to distinguish itself this way. Lets go to the overall strategy. You dont like what i say, mail her, you tell me im fake news. You come after the media as the opposition, the enemy. You dont like the judge, you go after judges as not having the
constitutional authority. You dont like the cbo, you say it stinks. Does that work and why do it as a strategy . I think speaking purely in communication terms, theres a bit of working the refs when youre pushing back on stories that you think are inaccurate or arent fair. I think, too, when were talking specifically about the administration, if you look back, this is a tough campaign, tough transition period to the leading and governing and theres been a lot of unfair coverage leveled towards this president , this administration and theyll push back and set the record straight. They cant always rely on the media to do it for them. I think theyre looking at doing some of that on their own. Finney, negative coverage is not necessarily unfair coverage. True. How you go back at coverage matters, also. What is your criticism of the, im not only saying your story is wrong, im thinking any institution that disagrees with me is corrupt strategy. I think going to the premise
when you introduce this segment, what weve seen from the Trump Administration is, if a fact is something we dont like, then its fake, its falls. In an institution like the cbo puts out a report with numbers we dont like, then we attack it. In and of itself for the cbo to say 24 Million People will lose their Health Care Coverage in the next decade, that is not an attack. That is actually a finding. I think thats really the distinction. I think what were seeing from the Trump Administration here, and i will say i think sean spicer does a valiant job, jason just did with the verbal gymnastics trying to put the best face on it. There are facts that matter. I think, number one, mr. Trump likes to put things out there to deflect from the actual topic, like the need for a true independent investigation into potential ties to russia. For example, on the a tax returns, creating drama around
the potential of who actually leaked it, thats not whats important. Whats important is that what weve learned from the tax returns is we dont see the schedules which are the attachments, so we dont know where the money comes from. We didnt really get the return. Hes now created this scenario where people are running to the shiny object about who leaked it. We know the two pages that came out were marked anonymous. It was odd for the president to tweet about it saying who is this reporter. The guy won the Pulitzer Prize for reporting on taxes from the new york times. Not exactly a nobody. To the main point, does it work and is that enough of a justification, a line you Shouldnt Cross in delegitimizing critics. Absolutely. Theres oulz going to be a level of where you can push back and where you cant. Thats a judgment called based on the situation. Talking about the cbo scoring
for a moment, they were off by 13 million when they were scoring obamacare. On one aspect and specific problems they highlighted. Who runs it now is a man that Secretary Price said all these great things about. Now theyre attacking. Youre not disagreeing they were off by 13 million. They were off but there were reasons for it that they laid out. You see my point. The administration sees those numbers and they disagree. They think what theyre doing with their bill will increase competition instead of saying that, they say the cbo is consistently wrong is what spicer said. He offered no proof of the pattern of era by the cbo. They got things right about obamacare as well. And in a story he called false and misleading, without proof again, from politico, they did their own internal analysis to look at what the cbo did and it came out the same, actually worse. That was modeling off trying to predict he called it false and
misleading. The head of the omb came on and said if theyre not the ones out there pushing back, no one is going to do it for them. How you push back is what Mattersment Finney last quick word. Ive got to go. Here is the point. The more donald trump and his administration put out untruths and pray on the declining faith that people have in their institutions anyway, theyre preying on that and manipulating that. Thats bad for the country. At some point people are going to realize donald trump is spending more time protecting his own image and attacking people he doesnt like and congress, like you just had with Lindsey Graham is going to have to spend more time and money trying to track down whether or not these things are true rather than creating jobs, and rather than taking care of people. When people are throwing out crazy Conspiracy Theories like this russia nonsense. Its not nonsense. Theres plenty of evidence. Karen finney, jason miller. You have to be careful about who
throws out crazy Conspiracy Theories. Weve heard plenty from the president of the United States. Appreciate you being here. Poppy .

President trumps tax returns have come to light this morning kind of, like two pages from 2005. They dont answer a lot of questions, but with so many pressing issues facing the white house right now like health care, like the russia cloud, is this all just a distraction. Lets get to cnn political analyst mark preston. Still a lot of talk about where sthe these tax returns, two page, came from. The journalist who received them, david k. Johnson earlier this morning, i ask could this have come from the president. He said, yeah, it could have. Whats your bottom line. What do you take away from what weve learned or havent learned. One, 12 years ago, they dont tell us anything. Its two pages. It tells us how much he made and how much he paid in taxes. A very good story for President Trump in the sense that it has focused the attention away from some of his problems, as you mentioned right now, the Health Care Bill which is on life support right now in congress. In fact, well see President Trump in tennessee today pushing forward and trying to get support. In addition to that, as chris just spoke a short time ago with Lindsey Graham, Lindsey Graham says we may hear from fbi Director Comey whether theres any investigation if not, what did he say hes going to do . Use subpoena power. Subpoena information. Which is a very big term for our viewers out there, very big term specifically when youre talking about the legislative branch going to the Executive Branch sub company, punishment. Its saying you have to come in. Company the political play on these taxes. Seems like you gave it to trump two ways. One is this is a good reckoning for him. He didnt pay as much in taxes
as some might like. Who pays more taxes than they have to. And this buffoonry saying he put them out. Now youre giving an opening for him to say fake news. No evidence he put them out. Weve seen in the past that, in fact, if i was one of his advisers, i wish i would have come up with Diversion Nair tactic. Theres no proof it came to him. It says client copy. There never will be any specific proof, i dont think well ever find that out. It has steered the conversation away from what his problems are at this point and we saw his son last night go on twitter, and in all his supporters, if you look on social media, all the supporters were saying, look, donald trump gave us his taxes. Guess what . He didnt give his taxes, ghaef taxes from 12 years ago. He didnt give us anything. Hes going to say, you heard what preston said, he said i did it. Where is the proof . Fake news. Hes done it so far. It gives him another Talking Point that the media is against him. So the one area where the president , you cant argue with the fact that he lost on the First Executive order travel ban. He lost on that one to the courts, the power of the judiciary.
