Im rosemary church. And im George Howell from cnn headquarters in atlanta. Newsroom starts right now. Around the world, good day to you. The u. S. President wants to investigate the investigators, demanding a Justice Department review to take action after unleashing a barrage of criticisms of the fbi. This follows reports that the fbi used a confidential source to talk to Trump Campaign aides about possible ties to russia. Now the president suggested the move was politically motivated. Ryan nobles reports on the Justice Departments response. Reporter President Donald Trump busy on twit their weekend, taking aim at the department of justice and the fbi about their conduct in the leadup to the investigation into his campaign and whether or not that campaign had any ties to russia. The president particularly upset about reports that there was an unknown source who tried to gain access to Trump Officials and learn information about the Trump Campaign. The president topping his tweet storm off with this tweet, i hereby demand and will do so officially tomorrow he was talking about monday that the department of justice look into whether or not the fbi doj infiltrated or surveilled the campaign for political purposes and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the obama administration. But heres the thing about the president s call for an investigation. There is already one under way. The Inspector General for the Attorney Generals Office has been looking into whether or not those applications for surveillance of members of the trump team were done so appropriately, and they did respond to the president s tweet on sunday, saying that theyre going to expand that investigation to look into whether or not there were any political motivations for asking for those wiretaps, and the Deputy Attorney general, Rod Rosenstein who is of course in charge of the russia investigation put out the following statement if anyone did infiltrate or surveil participants in a president ial campaign for inappropriate purposes, we need to know about it and take appropriate action. So the president getting results pretty quickly. The question is this more about an effort to discredit Robert Mueller and his investigation . The president continues to call that a witchhunt and wants to see it come to an end. Of course, we are now just past the oneyear anniversary of the launch of that investigation. At this point there is no indication when its going wrap up. Ryan noble, cnn at the white house. And joining us now from england is scott lucas. He is a professional of International Politics at the university of birmingham. Thank you so much for being with us. Thank you. So what did you make of President Trumps tweet sunday when he demanded his own Justice Department examine whether the fbi spied on his campaign for political reasons and what will likely come of this, do you think . Lets be blunt. This was a meltdown by donald trump who is angry, who is frustrated, and who is very, very worried. He worried for two reasons. One is the fbi had what is called a counterintelligence agent. Not an infiltrator, not a spy, but a counterintelligent agent who was in contact with three Trump Campaign advisers. One of the adviser, carter page, is a suspected russian agent, suspected by the fbi. One of the others, george papadopoulos, had been in contact with a suspected russian link, a professor in london. So the fbi was investigating this as a Security Matter and as possible interference in the election. So trump is very worried than investigation. We know that. But there is a second matter which most people may have missed. And that is trump was triggered on a sunday by a report in the New York Times that his son donald trump jr. And other advisers had met representatives uae, saudi arabia, and an Israeli Social media expert about possible further intervention in the election, which would be a possible violation of election laws. That was his first tweet yesterday. He was angered over that report. And then he went on to basically attack the fbi and the Justice Department throughout the day. So of course now we are learning that the Justice Department asked its Inspector General to expand its review to try to determine whether there was any impropriety or political motivation on the part of the fbi. Where is all this going . Well, i think the Deputy Attorney general Rod Rosenstein and others in the agency already know that that counterintelligence operation operated according to guidelines. They had given statements to this effect as it were unnamed to the press throughout the weekend. So its an easy give to trump to say okay, well check this out because they know where this is going to wind up. They also know that further investigation that the fbi obtained that warrant from a top secret Government Court for surveillance, not of the Trump Campaign, of russian officials who might have been in contact with Trump Campaign advisers. And they believe that was according to the rules as well. So to keep the president from basically trying to shut the whole investigation down, theyll make statements like they did yesterday, that they are considering this. Well, remember, the wider investigation and the big focus here is not what the fbi and Justice Department are doing, but what special counsel Robert Mueller is doing. Because that is trumps ultimate goal, which is to try to shut muellers investigation down, not to get the Justice Department to look at Hillary Clinton. And you mentioned President Trumps attorney Rudy Giuliani says special counsel Robert Mueller could end his investigation of trump by september 1st if the president agrees to an interview. And he said that muellers office did share its timeline with him about a month ago. How likely it is that mr. Trump would allow such an interview and bring this all to a close by the start of september . Well, first of all, as weve seen in recent weeks, Rudy Giulianis statements are not necessarily the benchmark of reliability. 10 what he was trying to do was to put pressure on the mueller investigation. Look, you wrap it up by september 1. There is no evidence that mueller intends to be finished by then, which brings us to the fact that mueller and his team want an open ended interview with frump on about 50 questions. What trump and his lawyers want is a very tightly defined interview of only two to three hours so trump doesnt stray statements that could get him into further trouble. And that conflict over the definition of the scope of questioning is one that going to run through the next few weeks. And well see if that interview does take place. Scott lucas, always good to have you with us and share your analysis with our viewers. Well appreciate it. In the u. S. State of texas, were learning more about the timeline of a School Shooting in friday in santa fe. The sheriff there says the teenaged suspect opened fire for four minutes before officers arrived. A 25minute shootout then ensued before the gunman gave himself up. Eight students and two teachers died in that rampage. The sheriff says he will have a more accurate timeline after video from inside the school is analyzed. And the Lieutenant Governor of texas says the School Shooting problem is not guns. In an interview with cnn on sunday, dan patrick blamed violent video games, the removal of religion from schools, and abortion. But the main problems he says are not enough armed teachers, and too many entrances at school. Listen. We need our teachers to be armed. When youre facing someone who is an active shooter, the best way the take that shooter down is with a gun. But even better than that is four or five guns to one. And yesterday or friday, because of the heroic action of our two officers on the campus who were armed and a roving officer in a state troop theyre showed up very quickly, they were able to stop the shooter from killing more. This school is one of the districts given an award for their training in texas out of a thousand districts. And they reacted quickly and bravely. But had teachers been armed, there was a teacher next door, a marine, who saw what was going on, slammed the door, locked the door and protected his students. Some feel had he been able to carry a gun, he may have been able to stop that shooter had it been his choice. In texas, we already allow teachers to carry, but we leave it up to local control, up to the superintendent, up to the teachers and to the parents to make that zichlgs i was in a hospital visiting with a student who was wounded on friday night, and a lot of his classmates were there. And when we asked him, Governor Abbott and i were there and senator cruz, they all said to a person, our teachers should be armed. The parents said our teachers should be armed. We need armed teachers, trained of course to handle active shooters in the schools. We need to harden the target. Number two, we need to get done to one or two entrances. You have the necessary exits for fire, of course. But we have to funnel our students into our schools so we can put eyes on them. This young man showed up with a trench coat which he wore often and he had a gun under it. And he came through one of the entrances undetected. The israelis have three focus on security, and that is to deter, detect, and deny. And we have too many people who can get on to our School Campuses with guns who are not deterred and who are not detected. Needless to say, there is a lot of debate what he said. And adds gunowners have a responsibility to keep their guns safe at home. The texas governor, in the meantime, promises swift action, including round Table Discussions to plot the next steps in protecting students and schools from gun violence. Governor greg abbott also attended a Church Service for the victims of fridays shooting. He offered hugs and support to those who lost friends and loved ones s is in the tragedy. Polo sandoval has more. Reporter its a community in healing many of the graduates of the class of 2018 coming to a church only about a mile away from where the shooting happened to celebrate their yearly baccalaureate. The students coming together, many for the First Time Since the shots rang out in the Morning Hours of friday. One student, todd pinnick describing what its been like the last few days. Its kind of difficult its kind of difficult to celebrate a graduation when so many peoples lives are lost. It kind of makes what were going through, like these families, they lost family. I was lucky enough. I didnt lose family that day. But there were people that lost family. And thinking about minor circumstances, its so small compared to what these people actually lost. Reporter and on sunday, a service held for one of the victims, sabica chic, a 17yearold Exchange Student from pakistan who was shot and killed inside the high school on friday. Her friends here in the United States saying goodbye on sunday before her casket and her body was sent to pakistan where her family will eventually lay her to rest. We did hear from several officials, several speakers at that ceremony. One of them asking for the youth of texas to walk in the footsteps of those parkland, florida students. Of course, as you recall, theyve been through a very similar incident of their own as investigation presses forward. Many of the people in this Texas Community are now turning to the power of prayer, hoping for some healing. Polo sandoval, cnn, santa fe, texas. And well take a short break here. But still to come, new dangers from hawaiis kilauea volcano. Why geologists in hawaii are urging people to stay away from parts of the ocean now. Plus people are hungry. The economy is in collapse, but the venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro just secured another term in power. How did he manage to get reelected . We explain. And controversial buses are not the only way republicans here in georgia aim to win primaries. How immigration has become a key local issue. Well have that and more when we come back. Overwhelming air fresheners can send you running. So try febreze one. With no aerosols and no heavy perfumes. So you can spray and stay. Febreze one. Welcome back to newsroom. In the u. S. State of hawaii, the kilauea volcano is opening up more rifts along the east coast of the big island there, spewing lava bombs into the air, destroying homes in its path. But there is more to i. Take a look at this. Rivers of molten lava dumping into the Pacific Ocean. And of course it is spectacular to look at, but authorities are urging people the stay away from it. And that is because the steam clouds that are released into the air are filled with extremely dangerous acidic gas and debris. Our Stephanie Elam explains. Reporter two heads of lava that were flowing to the ocean came together as one and breck apart, and they did enter the ocean, but the u. S. Coast guard is asking people to stay away by about a thousand feet and a 360degree radius and that is because of something called laze. Thats when the lava hits the ocean, it creates hydrochloric acid, and little small particles of glass that can cause irritation to the eyes, the skin, the lungs. Theyre asking people to stay away. I want to show you what that lava looks like here on land. Take a look at this lava fountain that has been bubbling nonstop here. We can see from there, it oozes down into this black sea of lava that goes down towards the ocean. We know that there are a couple structures taken out by this flow as well as this has been bubbling up. Its been raining here all day, and that has no effect whatsoever on the lava that is flowing here. And beyond that, on the other side of me, there is a fissure, which sometimes you may be able to hear in the background from where i am, its about a mile away. And that fissure, when the volcanic gases come erupting out of there, sometimes it feels like it is a jet engine right next to you or a plane taking off. Other times it sounds like a cannon. One was so loud, and i happened to be standing back where i could see it. It shot up rock and debris several hundred feet into the air that is another concern as we know that one man was hit by a lava bomb as he was on his balcony. We understand that his leg is shattered. Theyre asking residents to be very vigilant as this is a very active eruption, and it doesnt seem to be ending any time soon. Back to you. Stephanie elam, thank you. Lets get the latest from pedram javaheri. Pedram, looking at the images, the power of the earth at work, doing its thing, you just dont know what to say there is no way to stop this. There is no way to stop it. Just looking at the past history of this particular volcano, know three, four, five months is very realistic estimate of how long this could last. Of course, weve seen eruptions last much, much longer than that. And this particular one already going on about four weeks i believe when we began to see some of the initial tremors leading up to the initial eruption, all taking place. The sulfur dioxide levels another element of this multidimensional setup across the region added to the mix. That has tripled in the last couple of days across this region. Of course you have the vog, you have the laze and the sulfur dioxide levels significant across the region. You kind of see the plumes as theyre pushing south based on the prevailing winds at this point. If the winds shift, they often do, you direct this towards other islands and have this be other problems across the region. Folks in their porch kind of looking at what is happening in the not too distant location there. And of course weve had earthquakes in the region as well. Sometimes 50 to 100 per day. Satellite imagery readily does a brilliant job putting everything into perspective as far as what it look like here just about a year ago. Notice the homes, the communities scattered about this region. And then you the lava flows that come through and decimate just about everything in their immediate path. This of course, when you logistic at how long this has played out in the distance, it has encompassed some three miles or five kilometers of land have been consumed from lava flow that comes out of fissure number 20 that is the lava flow that has reached the Pacific Ocean and has created the laze. Of course with that, the biggest concern is that hydrochloric acid that sets up across this region. A very sharp irritating odor associated with this and its highly corrosive as well. Unlike acid rain that is destruct alternative the environment and to toil and marine life, this particular sort of acid would cause significant damage on contact to anything in its path. So that becomes another element to add to the mix of what is happening here on the big island, guys. Extraordinary. All right, thank you so much, pedram. Appreciate that. Thank you for having me. The venezuelan economy has collapsed on his watch, and yet president Ni
