The Trump Administration will try to sell a sweeping budget plan to Congress Today that includes big cuts to medicare and food stamps and an increase in defense spending. That message is still drowned out by the uproar over abuse allegations against a former senior white house aide. President trumps press secretary read a statement yesterday condemning Domestic Violence. She said it was dictated by the president who has made other statements praising his former staff secretary, rob porter. Porter resigned nearly a week ago, but there are still Unanswered Questions today about what the administration knew about his alleged abuse of his two exwives. Major garrett is at the white house with the latest. Good morning. Reporter good morning. The white house remained in a state of turmoil as continued internal speculation was rife about the future and job security of white house chief of staff john kelly. One other thing basic white house explanations about the timeline and events about rob porters dismissal still remain in conflict. Mr. President , do you have a vetting problem . Reporter President Trump ignored questions monday surrounding the resignation of his former aide, rob porter, who he appeared to defend last friday. He says hes innocent. And i think you have to remember that. Reporter porters first wife, colby holderness, disputed his innocence in the Washington Post rating, living in constant fear chipped away at my independence and sense of selfwor selfworth. Im close to hope hicks, and i dont worry about her in that respect. Reporter she also responded to counselor Kellyanne Conway who on sunday was asked about Communications Director hope hicks reported relationship with porter.

Reporter holderness disputed conways characterization writing, those her statement imnobel peace prize those who have been in abusive relationships are not strong. I beg to differ. The president dismisses allegations reporter arizona senator jeff flake the political fallout, i think, is significant. Reporter and questions remain about the timeline of porters departure. There are things we could have done better. Reporter the white house claimed a photo of porters first wifes bruised face forced his resignation. It took chief of staff john kelly about 12 hours to reverse his public support for porter. White House Press SecretarySarah Sanders would not explain the delay. We learned of the extent of the situation involving rob porter last tuesday evening. And within 24 hours, his resignation had been accepted and announced. Reporter adding to the confusion is the conversation the white house said kelly had less than 40 minutes after the daily mail story which first exposed the abuse allegations was published. The nature of that conversation remains a mystery as does how much the white house counsel, don mcghan, shared with kelly about the underlying abuse allegations and their relationship to porters pursuit of a full security clearance. John . Thank you, major. Still a lot of questions. A separate issue facing the Trump Administration is a backlog of more than 700,000 security clearances. One investigator tells cbs news. The White House Security process is the peak of what the problem is throughout the government. Jeff has more. Good morning. Reporter the white house blamed the fbi for delays in the security clearance process. A sign of strain between the bureau and the white house, the fbi said it just conducts the background checks. It does not grant security clearances. So help me god. Reporter nearly 13 months into the Trump Administration, more than a dozen top officials are working with an interim security clearance. Among them, the president s soninlaw, jared kushner. Rob porter was on that list until he resigned last week amid allegations of Domestic Violence. To me it suggests a breakdown in the security clearance system. Reporter chris wecker is a former assistant director of the fbi. He says some officials in the Clinton Administration relied on interim clearances but that it is unusual for so many officials to not have full security clearances at this point. To have somebody with an interim security clearance for over a year seems excessive. It defeats the purpose of having a security clearance process in the first place. Reporter he says within fbi headquarters, there is a special unit called spin or special inquiries. It handles White House Security clearances which are designed to be expedited in about 45 days. Once the fbi completes its investigation, findings are handed over to the white house which has discretion in approving security clearance. Lisa brown was a staff secretary in president obamas white house. You want to make sure that they arent working for a foreign government, that they are upright and honest person, that they arent somehow going to be susceptible to blackmail. Reporter and that is why the security clearance process is essential for any white house. Cbs news has been told that the fbi wrapped up rob porters background check at least eight months before his resignation. Norah . Wow. Thats interesting, jeff. Thank you very much. Law enforcement sources say the white powder sent in an envelope addressed to donald trump jr. Is cornstarch. The letter postmarked from boston was mailed to the manhattan home of his motherinlaw. Donald trumps wife vanessa opened the letter yesterday. She called 911 and was taken to the hospital along with her mother and a third identified person. Everyone is okay. New york police and the secret service is investigating. Lawmakers on capitol hill today will focus on two issues with longterm consequences. The Senate Continues a rare openended debate on Immigration Reform. Congress has less than three weeks to replace the daca program protecting young undocumented immigrants. And the president s budget director will try to Sell Congress on a new budget framework for next year. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill to unpack this for us. Nancy, what are the priorities do you think in the president s budget . Reporter well, they certainly want to enact some cuts to domestic programs. Whether theyll be able to do that remains to be seen. Certainly the budget director, nick mulvaney, is going to make the cased to n conversations with members of case today in conversations with members of the house and senate. Hes going to sit down with them and go over this plan that calls for 4. 4 trillion in federal spending in 2018 and 2019. Setting aside 18 billion for a border wall, and about 200 billion for infrastructure. The proposal would also cut about 500 billion over ten years from medicare and about 200 billion from the program that provides food stamps. Even with those cuts, the budget would still add about 7 trillion to the deficit by 202 which is something that some fiscal conservatives will find difficult to handle. The reality is that the senate struck a budget agreement last week that would cover the next two years. So the chances that any of this is going to get turned into legislation and then into law is pretty slim right now. Oh, boy. Nancy, heres the question for you Mitch Mcconnells opening up the senate this week to an immigration debate. Do you think that they could reach an agreement . Whats the thinking on the hill . Reporter well, theyre going to hold a series of votes over the next couple of days on partisan and bipartisan issues. For example, one of the first amendments up is going to be this proposal from a trio of republican senators, cotton, grassley, and cornyn, that allows the path to have for dreamers in exchange for increased Border Security and changes to immigration rules that democrats argue will severely limit the number of legal immigrants who are allowed to enter the u. S. Those democrats say they do not believe this plan can get the 60 votes needed. And frankly, theres a lot of pessimism now that any of these plans will get the 60 votes necessary to advance whatever comes out of the senate to the house. All right. Nancy cordes, thank you very much. The father of a 5yearold cancer patient will not be deported for at least a year.
