President has full confidence in flynn yesterday afternoon. kaoeupbtd of evolves. now we get the full explanation from sean spicer saying that the president lacked trust. it was a trust issue. after a series of issues he said later on. not just this one. i think that youre starting to see how this white house is dealing with things. when it comes to trust, the national security adviser is one of the most trusted people for a president, considering all the foreign policy hot spots that this presi...

When sean spicer talks about this being a trust issue, you raised the right question. if president trump had made aware of this mid-january, what about it being a trust issue then? >> right. again, sean spicer was clear when the president as pamela just took you through the timeline immediately learned from the white house counsels office that doj was aware that sanctions was indeed a topic of discussion on the call, he knew immediately in that briefing that flynn had lied to pence and spicer an...

Two weeks ago that flynn could be potentially blackmailed by the russian -- where flynn officially denied talking at all about u.s. sanctions against russia, later on reported that sanctions were indeed discusses and flynn apologized for giving quote unquote incomplete information to the vice president along with several others, so in that white house daily briefing we heard from spicer saying flynns quitting was a trust issue. we kept hearing the word trust over and over and over, wasnt a legal...

Truth of these conversations. we want to get you right to that sean spicer sound. you can hear for yourself what he said. >> we got a point not based on a legal issue, but based on a trust issue where the level of trust between the president and general flynn had eroded to the point where he felt he had to make a change. the president was very concerned that general flynn had misled the vice president and others. the white house counsel reviewed and determined that there is not a legal issue but...

States. the vice president was out shows out on 15th of january, 11 days later the president of the united states learned that the information pence put out to public that the information he got from flynn was false because flynn lied about it. 18 days later that flynn gets his resignation accepted. this is critical because theres no new data point other than a public report from the "washington post." i know sean spicer says theres an exhaustive investigation, i would urge them to put them into...

>> okay. what i can talk about is what happened here in the press briefing room where sean spicer went through what he presented as the time line for how this went down. the idea that in mid janua you had vice president pence publicly talking about essentially defending mike flynn saying that in late january it came out via white house counsel from that heads up from the department of justice that in fact there were some serious questions about the national security advisor misleading the presid...

Falls apart quickly. i think the irony about this dealing with trust issues, there are trust issues. with the west wing, and with the press its hard to trust any message coming out of the administration because they are tricker to. kellyanne conway saying one thing, sean spicer talking about another. he told us president trump asked for the resignation even though last night aides were telling me general flynn decided to he radio sign on his own. its hard to ascertain what is actually the truth ...

Us, a member of the foreign affairs committee. congressman, thanks for joining us. >> you bet. thanks. >> the white house is pegging this on a trust issue. why didnt president trump lose trust in michael flynn on january 26 when he found out from the justice department that flynn had lied about the call to the russian ambassador? why did he only lose trust in him once this all became public? >> i think thats a question only he can answer. obviously i havent talked to him about this, so, why the ...

Dateline washington for "the new york times," fbi agents interviewed michael t. flynn when she was national security advisor about his conversations with the russian ambassador. what did he say to them? john bussey is here from the "wall street journal." thats one question. theres more. >> a lot of questions at this stage. were at the beginning of this. this resignation is not the end of it. this is the beginning. the investigation really gets momentum because theres so much concern about how th...

With the law but everyone knew there was going to be a new russia policy in three weeks and flynn repeating that truism to me is not a big deal, i dont always agree with every word out of sean spicers mouth but i do believe this came down to a trust issue, i think that matters more than the supposed issue of blackmail. amys point is valid, but i dont take it quite to the same level as some people do. >> i appreciate the skepticism. >> amy, we have seen this jason chaffetz now announcing hes open...
