Reporter good morning, willie, the battle of partisan memos at the white house of the Russian Investigation took an unexpected turn late saturday. The president had used his authority to declassify the democrats memo then he quickly criticized it. But he also went a step further turning his attention to barack obama. President trump made sure the democrats newly unclassified Russian Investigation memo would not soak up all of the media attention. He called fox news late saturday and blamed russian interference on his predecessor. Obama was the president during all of this meddling or whatever you want to call it with russians and others possibly. But obama was the president. Hes the one that was supposed to take care of this. And he didnt. Reporter while President Trump did acknowledge election interference happened, he insisted he did nothing wrong. I had no phone calls. I had no meetings, no nothing. There is no collusion. Reporter his comments came just hours after the democrats rebuttal was made public challenging gop allegations of government abuse. Of the secret foreign Intelligence Surveillance court. Our memo gives more of the complete facts.

He denounced the democrats memo as a total political and legal bust, yet repeatedly told fox news this. With all is that being said, we have to come together as a nation. Reporter the president said that coming together idea a few different times in the context of moving past the russia investigation. And weve seen seeo much activi of late from the special counsel, its unclear when the country will be moving past it. But thats the president wants to go. Willie. Kelly odonnell, thanks.

Reporter the Broward CountySchool District tried to prepared students and their parents with a sunday orientation. Returning to School Without the pressure of having to go to class. Im not prepared to go back to school on wednesday. I dont know if anyones prepared. Reporter but new questions about the response to the shooting. Law enforcement sources tell nbc news several sheriffs deputies remained outside the freshman building where most of the shooting took place. It is not known why. The Sheriffs Office say police are making that claim and they are investigating. Nbc news clint van dant said previous Mass Shootings have taught hard lawsuits. Standard protocol across the country for Law Enforcement is if theres an active shooter in the school, its your job to go in and stop that person from killing. Reporter after the mass shooting at Stoneman Douglas. Students are hoping its Strong Enough to return. Its been difficult. We all have to grow up a lot in the past week. Reporter there will be counselors on hand today here at the high school. This happening on the same day that the last shooting victim will be laid to rest. Willie. Thats going to be a difficult day. Maya rodriguez in parkland florida. Thanks so much. Chuck todd is nbcs political director and moderator of meet the press. Chuck, great to see you. The topic will be whether or not guns are any different and how this man got access to an ar15. I do want to ask you about Law Enforcement here. There were so many red flags, staggering how many warnings from this 19yearold in the last couple of years. Then the failure on the day by at least one sheriffs deputy go into the school. Its maddening. Its infuriating when you think this could have been prevented and 17 lives could have been saved . No, and i think it shows the gaps in so many of our laws from the Mental Health aspects of how do you deal with somebody who you know has Mental Health problems. What legal requirements do you have, what can you do there. But it also to me exposes the massive gap in the background system. There is no law right now, willie, that requires all of that information that was learned about nikolas cruz, all of the different tips. And none of that information was mandated to be put into the background check system. Right. Right. So, it exposes to me a lot of gaps there. And i think its interesting, the more failures that we find out about Law Enforcement, i think youre going to have people digging their heels on sort of two responses to that aspect. For some, its going to reinforce the need to have the become ground check system reinforced perhaps to lengthen the period of time it takes to get guns. And others that you cant trust Law Enforcement. So, i think in an odd way, its going to reinforce the arguments for folks on both sides of this debate. And background checks are part of the conversation, that youll be talking. Weve seen pressure on businesses like hertz, united, best western hotels have broken ties with the nra, or at least waived their discounts for nra members. These students have been incredibly effective and active and visible throughout this. But it does seem so far that the action is at the state level. Governor rick scott coming out with a list of suggestions, new laws put in place. The truth is, people said after sandy hook nothing changed. Well in the state of connecticut things did change. So is the state level maybe where the action is . Perhaps, although im skeptical that governor scotts reforms can pass the florida legislature. As its currently constructed right now. And the nra is opposed to essentially every one of this ideas he proposed on friday. And theyre actively calling their florida representatives to call their state representatives and senators to oppose governor scotts plan. So, well see what happens there. I can tell you this, i do think the boycotts and the success of them exposed how poorly the nra has handled their politics in all of this. Theyve shown very little empathy here. And i think thats what made it easy for the boycotts to succeed. Chuck, well be watching later this morning. Much more on the gun debate and whether parkland will spark change. On meet the press, republican senator pat toomey of pennsylvania and democrat amy cl klobuchar. And officials saying a blockade would be an active war.

That is exactly what you or i would do in the olympic halfpipe. Sort of cruising along at a leisurely pace. Her name is elizabeth swany, a 33yearold from california. Its a combination of limitations on the number of athletes other countries can send. Injuries to some other skiers and her strategy of competing at events with low participation so that she earned enough top30 finishes to qualify for the olympics. If goes without saying swany finished the competition in a distant last place at the olympics. I notice you said thats how you and i would do the halfpipe no. I would slide down on my butt.

But to help others, they first had to protect themselves. I have afib. Even for a nurse, its complicated. And it puts me at higher risk of stroke. That would be devastating. I had to learn all i could to help protect myself. Once i got the facts, my doctor and i chose xarelto®. Xarelto®. To help keep me protected. Oncedaily xarelto®, a latestgeneration blood thinner. Significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. It has similar effectiveness to warfarin. Xarelto® works differently. Warfarin interferes with at least 6 bloodclotting factors. Xarelto® is selective, targeting just one critical factor interacting with less of your bodys natural bloodclotting function. For afib patients wellmanaged on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® compares in reducing the risk of stroke. Dont stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase risk of stroke. While taking, you may bruise more easily, or take longer for bleeding to stop. It may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If youve had spinal anesthesia, watch for back pain or any nerve or musclerelated signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. And before starting xarelto®about any conditions, such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. Its important to learn all you can. To help protect yourself from a stroke.
