And he denied today that it is a Party Divided despite evidence to the contrary. Including prominent republicans yesterday calling him, a habitual liar and danger to democracy. Here is chief congressional correspondent, nancy cordes. Members of congress. Jeff flakes call to arms was met with mutiny as gop colleagues refused to open fire on mr. Trump. Still on good terms with the president. Very focused on getting results. Job is to put our head down and start legislating. Holding back because the Trump White House is key to their agenda. On issues like tax reform. We now have a president who will sign it. The yeas are 50. Nays are 50. Just last night.

The Vice President votes in the affirmative. The join resolution is passed. We have great unity. The president insisted to day Party Friction has been overblown. He repeatedly mentioned the Standing Ovations he got. At yesterdays lunch with senate republicans. I think the press makes me, more uncivil than i am. You know people dont understand. I went to an ivy league college. I was a nice student. I did very well. Im very intelligent person. As for flake. His poll numbers are terrible. He has done terribly for the great people of arizona, a state that likes donald trump very much. Al mighty god. But the senate chaplain, barry black, hailed flakes courage and asked for stom divine intervention. Lord, provide us with more patriots who will stand for right regardless of the consequences. Flakes decision to retire was hailed as a victory by president ial allies like steve bannon. Senate republicans argue thats shortsighted. They worry anthony that his seat could now get scooped up by a democrat. Nancy cordes at the capitol. Thank you, nancy. With the republican president under attack by both of arizonas republican senators, we talked to Republican Voters in the state. Heres jim axelrod. I will not be complicit or silent. Senator jeff flake went after donald trump in washington. For the sake of some half baked, spurious nationalism. Off awe john mccains criticism last week in philadelphia. Did you vote for President Trump. I did. 2300 miles from both cities there are no clear winners in arizona. It is the party. Loselose. What do you mean, loselose . The president loses credibility when heap does this stuff. We gathered four republicans at the henry. A coffee shop in phoenix. I feel like our senators lost because President Trump has a very loud base. A loud and aggressive and somewhat angry base. They side with their senators. The bigger thing that i see is he is fighting for unity. Asking us to unite. Frank he walked away from a fight he shouldnt have walked away from. And would have liked flaek to hang tougher. I was disappointed that he threw in the towel. Some what premature. All four want the name calling to stop and said their patience is starting to wear thin with the president. Not his policies, his demeanor. I personally agree that, that, the president is more divisive than he is uniting. We vote for the people. We give them our proxy represent us. When President Trump attacks people personally he is attacking all of us. Four Republican Voters say they are now a bit more concerned about the 201 senate race here as well as unpopular as flake is, his departure opens the door to the possibility of a candidate who could have a tougher time holding on to a senate seat, been in Republican Hand for more than two decades. Anthony. Jim axelrod, thank you. President trump told reporters today that he did not specifically order the military mission in niger in which four american soldiers were killed. He said his generals made the decision. We have also learned the pentagon deployed elite commandos to search for one of the soldiers. Margaret brennan is following this. Sources describe the ambush as a complex attack involving rocket propelled grenade and small arms fire. Investigators are still trying to determine how or when Sergeant La David JohnsonArmy Mechanic got separate from 11 other u. S. Troops.

On the morning of october 4th, the soldiers were on a joint patrol with 30 forces near the village of tongo, tongo. They met with elders and loaded on sa pliz. At the end of a 24hour mission when the attack began. An hour into the fight. Patrol called for help. French forces arrived 30 minutes later. The military soon declared a dustwun, duty status where abuts unknown for sergeant johnson. Request made to chairman of the joint chiefs, Joseph Dunford for more u. S. Personally. At that point knowing we had a missing soldier, we made a decision to make sure all resources to include National Assets were available for the recovery operation. It is still unclear whether at take was preplanned. But investigators believe it was carried out buy an isis offshoot operating in the area. According to military officials the group is run by this man. He command just 40 to 606 fighters but has allies throughout the region. He is wanted by u. S. And french authorities. But, u. S.
