Heading to the United States. The president tweeting just this morning this. We have put a great Team Together for our talks, meetings are taking place considering the summit and more. Solid response to my letter, thank you. That letter was the out of the blue correspondence trump sent to kim jongun last week canceling the nuclear summit. Lets add another cliche into the mix. Time flies when youre having fun, right . Kaitlan collins at s s s s aat house, always having fun. The president seems to be renewing optimism that the summit could happen in singapore on june 12th. Especially by confirming that north korea has dispatched that top aide to come to the United States for more talks on what that summit in singapore could look like. So we know we have reported that several National Security officials have expressed concern that this meeting could still happen in just two weeks from today as scheduled. But the president does not seem to be concerned about that at all and hes pressing the aides to get the meeting done, to get the talks back on track so they could happen in two short weeks even though it has been five days since the president called all this off. We know the white house is looking differently at what that meeting would achieve. Even National Security adviser john bolton has told the president just sitting down with kim jongun face to face just that cursory talk could amount to a diplomatic achievement that could lead on to more serious talks between the United States and north korea. Right now, this summit has not been called back on. But the president is acting as though it is and so are the aides that are dispatched across asia to smooth out the wrinkles ahead of any summit like this happening. So we do see some progress there, they are acting as if this meeting is going to take place. Even though i should repeat this is not officially announced that this summit, that the president just canceled a few days ago, kate, is back on. It is not over until it is over until it is over. Great to see you, thank you so much. The north korean official coming to the u. S. Is breaking new ground by showing up. The highest ranking north korean official to come to the United States in 18 years. So who is he and what is his job . Cnns matt rivers is in seoul, south korea. What can you tell us about Kim Yong Chol . This is a very high ranking north korean official who is known quite well by kim jongun and who has a bit of a notorious past. He is kim jonguns righthand man, often called the chief Nuclear Negotiator in north korea. He was present at the interkorean summit. He was front and center there. His past is a bit spotty. Were told by the south koreans they blame him for the sinking, planning the sinking of a south korean naval vessel in 20 10 where 46 sailors died and also something americans may be more familiar with, hes the alleged mastermind behind the hacking of Sony Pictures in 2014 over the movie the interview which featured a plot line that involved the assassination of kim jongun. Didnt sit well, of course, with the North Koreans. So that is the north korean official, that is currently on his way to the United States. We dont know who hes going to meet with at this point, but this summit is basically in this mans hands at this point and despite his past, this is who the americans are going to have to deal with, this is who north korea is choosing to send to the United States for some what we can expect to be high level meetings. Amazing theyre letting him into the United States if hes the mastermind behind the huge hack. Thank you. Joining me now, samantha vinograd, former adviser of president obamas National Security council and jean lee who opened the first u. S. News bureau in north korea, now the director of korea studies at the wilson center. Jean, what does it mean that this high ranking official is coming to the United States, do you think . As matt pointed out, this is the most high ranking official to visit the United States in quite some time. That indicates the seriousness of this. But we should look at him as kim jonguns personal envoy. Hes been at his side at all of the major summits hes had this year with world leaders. Hes the guy whispering in his ear about strategy. The fact that he was a former spy master, and oversaw some of the operations both the possible sinking of a warship in 2010 off the korean coast and also possibly that sony cyberattack shows that he uses provocation as part of his strategy, and that is something that we need to keep in mind. Hes a strategist, not a diplomat. Five days ago, the president said this was all off with that letter that we discussed at length. Can they be ready in time for june 12th, do you think . I think they could be ready to achieve certain goals. They could be ready to have a discussion about what a process would look like for complete and verifiable denuclearization. But the idea that these two leaders are going to show up in singapore and sign a comprehensive agreement that lays out all the technicalities on how you achieve complete verifiable and irreversible denuclearization that doesnt seem likely to me. It is interesting this individual is entering the United States. As was pointed out, we should think of this as a reciprocal visit. Secretary of pompeo went to pyongyang, he met with kim jongun. We have the reciprocal visit by the vice chairman to the United States. My question is who is he going to meet with . I was going to pose that to you. If you make a suggestion who would it be . If were following what how the North Koreans treated President Trumps personal envoy, im curious to see whether President Trump is going to meet with the individual, in new york, or is he going to meet with someone like john bolton or Ambassador Haley to keep the discussions moving forward. Jean, what do you think about that . Who would be the appropriate person, who would be tasked with meeting this spy master . This is a reciprocal visit. Remember, so far the u. S. Has sent high level envoys to pyongyang or to the dmz on the north korean side. It is possible that the white house has said it is your turn to send someone to show how committed you are. You need to send someone. He has greeted the secretary of state so they do have a relationship, i do think it is quite possible that they will sit down and speak. But you never know. Every day has brought surprises. Maybe it will go higher up the command. Maybe just sam, is it an achievement if nothing comes of the summit . Is it progress if they just sit down . I think it is progress we dont have missiles flying. In the shortterm we have made progress and we should all be happy about that. We have to remember that a face to face meeting is a carrot for kim jongun. He will have achieved a breakthrough for himself in that hes being treated on equal footing. It seems people moved past that. This is something he wants. He wants to meet for the sake of meeting. The other thing we have to remember, donald trump doesnt like to admit this, hes not the first u. S. President that the North Koreans have asked for a face to face meeting. Hes the first president who is accepted. To me, a meeting for the sake of meeting is not an achievement for anyone but kim jongun. Jean what are the worlds experts on the north Korean Nuclear program just put out a report in the New York Times, wrote at length about it, to say the process to denuclearize north korea could take Something Like 15 years. Do you think do you see President Trump accepting that timeline . He may have no choice. To be honest, denuclearization is extremely complicated and being able to verify that north korea has follow through on its promises has been a challenge that Nuclear Negotiators have dealt with for 25 years. They had trouble doing that. Considering how advanced the program is, it will take some time to dismantle it and make sure that it is completely dismantled. He may have no choice but to accept that timeline. If you had to guess this they do sit down, what do you think is a realistic outcome of this first meeting . Ive been saying that i think the most realistic outcome here is a declaration or pledge of some sort. They may start by saying we work, we pledge to work toward an end to the korean war, remember that they have been in a state of a ceasefire, they signed an armistice, they could sit down and say it has been 6 5 years and on the 65th anniversary, lets pledge to work toward an end and in that process also work toward denuclearization. But i dont think that there is much more that they can that they can do than that. They will both find a way to spin that as a victory. Everyone is going to come out of it. If they do sit down, everyone will come out saying we want something. Lets see what tomorrow brings. Thank you. Great to see you. Coming up, a bold allegation by trump standards, the president of the United States claiming the special Counsel Robert Mueller is getting ready to meddle in the Midterm Elections to help democrats.

Then i realized something was missing. Me. My symptoms were keeping me from being there. So, i talked to my doctor and learned humira is for people who still have symptoms of Crohns Disease after trying other medications. And the majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief and many achieved remission in as little as 4 weeks. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure.

Dont start humira if you have an infection. Be there for you, and them. Ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, remission is possible. This was donald trump in 2016. Im afraid the election is going to be rigged. I have to be honest. Folks, the system is rigged. It is rigged, okay. Remember, it is a rigged election. Then he won and then he decided it wasnt so rigged, of course. Well, now what is old is new again. He says the Midterm Election is likely to be rigged, not by the russians, but by democrats working for Robert Mueller. In a tweet this morning laying it out this way, the 13 angry democrat and people who worked eight years for obama are working on the rigged russia witchhunt will be meddling with the Midterm Elections. Especially now that republicans stay tough are taking the lead in the polls. There was no collusion except by the democrats. Got it . Fresh take on an old conspiracy. The deck is stacked against him and theyre all out to get him until theyre not. Joining me, Michael Nutter and doug heye for the rnc. Mayor nutter, the president is questioning the legitimacy of the elections coming up what. What impact does it have . This is just a continuation of his usual now paranoia about everything. You know, it was not rigged in 2016. But he keeps talking about that. Hes got that loop tape going in his head. All hes doing is trying to cast doubt and fear in the court of public opinion. Distract attention away from the selfinflicted wounds on his own having fired mr. Comey, which then resulted in a special prosecutor, mr. Mueller. It is absurd, and certainly an insult to his history of service to the country, it is absurd that donald trump would even let words out of his mouth, suggesting that mr. Mueller and his team will interfere with elections. Theyre investigating the russians who interfered with our elections on behalf of donald trump. Thats what that probe is all about. The strategy of trump versus Robert Mueller and trying to undermine the russia investigation thats been playing out for a while now. But on that, trumps attorney rudy giuliani, he made what i think is a pretty important admission when it comes to all of this over the weekend. Listen to this. It is for public opinion. Because eventually the decision here is going to be impeach, not impeach. Members of congress, democrat and republican, are going to be informed a lot by their constituents. Our jury is the as it should be is the american people. Hes making no secret this is a political argument. He says it is public opinion. I worked in the house of representatives when bill clinton wept thrount through hi impeachment. It is a political process, i think one that many republicans regret. We know the Clinton White house also tried to and the president himself peter baker had a great story in the New York Times replaying everything that happened where bill clinton finally in his own words went after ken starr to discredit that investigation. It is part of the same playbook with more trumpian language that casts aspersions everywhere. But goes back to that same Central Point to discredit this investigation because every time there is a new plea, every time there is a new indictment, he has to discredit it so he can advance politically. If that is the case, mayor, how do you counter that . Well, you know, as john adams said, facts are just stubborn things and the number of people as doug mentioned, number of people who have been indicted or other people who are cooperating with mr. Muellers probe, i dont know that mr. Trump is going to be able to slip and slide out of this one as he has in the past. This is a much more serious situation involving International Espionage with the russians attacking our election. Mr. Trump or his son having russians into trump tower. And a whole host of nefarious activities. Somehow he thinks hes going to poison, i guess, the jury pool, that being the people of the United States of america. Most folks are not going to buy that nonsense. People know what is going on. They know what hes doing. American public is not stupid. And every day that he says something, tweets something, lies about something, just goes on to the pile that mr. Mueller and his team will be looking at. Overall, if youre looking at there has been a lot of polling on this. Overall, the trend has become that more americans are saying that the Mueller Investigation should end and more americans are saying that it is unfair to President Trump that is definitely seems clear on partisan lines, and if hes convincing republicans of it, is that already a win . Well, he has, you know, he has whatever base he has. I dont necessarily know that it is growing by that much. We havent heard we only heard one side of this. Mr. Trump is on a propaganda campaign, and mr. Mueller is on a serious probe. Lets see what the actual results are that come from a pretty wide ranging series of events and activities. Let the American Public hear the full story. At the moment, mr. Mueller has both of his hands tied behind
