We did so armed with the analysis of where interlocutors were coming from. if the president doesnt stick to his talking points he could misstep and say something that has nuclear consequences. >> they want to avoid getting the president out of his comfort zone, meaning the staff, the people around him. that includes food. a person involved in the trips planning says no whole fish with the head still on, nothing too spicy for the president. how important are requests like this in avoiding slip-up...

Can go to president moon and prepare for this visit at the requisite level. and thats really worrisome. >> thank you, samantha. thanks, david. thank you, p.j. appreciate it. have a great weekend, everyone. when we come back, the mystery of mary trump. why president trump almost never talks about his mother though he talks about his father all the time. and stick around. the disturbing story of a local police chief accused of a hate crime so awful his own officers called the fbi on him. hi, im th...

Theyre trying to figure out what the u.s. is thinking here theyre going to need to go to donald trump because there hasnt been a lot of representation here from members of his administration. >> thank you, matt rivers. i appreciate that. i want to bring in cnn global affairs analyst david rhode. national security analyst nancy vingrad and p.j. kroulty the former assistant secretary of state under president obama and the author of "red line: american foreign policy in a time of fractured politics...

Time. its significant this is happening. its significant that this is the first major step in this investigation. but how do you respond to what david said? >> i think davids exactly right. its too premature to pop open the champagne if youre a democrat and say this is it for the trump campaign. but at the same time, this could be something very significant, and really put us on the path to showing extreme collusion between the trump campaign and russia. we dont know that. it could be the first ...

District of virginia and rolled into muellers investigation with the same prosecutors moved over, were the two cases thought to be most advanced. muellers been at this about five months. if youre bringing a straightforward failure to file your tax returns or failure to declare foreign income, whether its personal or related to your business in ukraine, in the case of manafort, or turkey in the case of flynn, those are pretty straightforward types of cases. and it wouldnt -- and shouldnt probably...

Agreement. i disagree with the ambassador, respectfully. if i was in north korea, i would build as many missiles and bombs a as i could and not trust the united states to stick to the deal based on iran. >> why should the u.s. think that unilaterally other nations will agree to it? >> there are six parties, five nations, all saying they stand by the agreement. this is the great risk of the trump rhetoric. you know, it might not and again we will see in months ahead what happens. >> david rhode, ...

Morning, that by not certifying the iran deal the u.s. was also sending a message to north korea, this is her comment. >> when you look at the fact 25 years of botched agreements and negotiations and accountability not kept by north korea, thats the whole situation that got us to where we are having to watch day by day to see if they he do an icbm test going forward. what we see with iran is dont let it become the next north korea. what this says to north korea is dont expect us to engage in a b...
