Viewers joining us here in the United States and from all around the world. Im Rosemary Church, and this is cnn newsroom. Details are emerging on yt former acting director on the fbi launched a Counter Intelligence investigation into president donald trump. In a stunning interview with cbss 60 minutes Andrew Mccabe said his own words triggered the probe. He asked former fbi director james comey to drop his investigation into the National Security advisor and then firing comey raised concerns of obstruction of justice. Mccabe also said the Deputy Attorney general Rod Rosenstein was absolutely serious when he reportedly offered to wear a wire in his meetings with the president. The Deputy Attorney general offered to wear a wire into the white house. He said i never get searched if i go into the white house. I can easily wear a recording device. They wouldnt know it was there. Now, he was not joking. He was absolutely serious, and, in fact, he brought it up in the next meeting we had. I never actually considered taking him up on the offer. I did discuss it with my general counsel and my Leadership Team back at the fbi after he brought it up the first time. The point of rosenstein wearing the wire into a meeting with the president is what . What did he hope to obtain . I cant characterize what rod was thinking or what he was hoping at that moment. But the reason you would have someone wear a concealed recording device would be to collect evidence. In this case what was the true nature of the president s motivation calling for the firing of jim comey. A statement from the Justice Department said rosenstein never authorized any recording that mr. Mccabe references. The chairman of the u. S. Senate Judiciary Committee is promising an investigation into mccabes claims. I know he is selling a book. We need to take it with a grain of salt maybe what mr. Mccabe is telling us, but went on National Television and made an accusatia accusation that floors me. I can imagine if the shoe was on the other foot. Er were talking about getting rid of president clinton, it would be front page news all over the world. Were going to find out what happened here, and the only way i know to find out is to call the people in under oath and find out if theyre questioning who is telling the truth because the underlying accusation is beyond stunning. Challenges to president Trumps NationalEmergency Declaration are already in the works. The state of california is planning an imminent challenge and u. S. Lawmakers are preparing a measure to try to block the president s move to secure funding for his border wall. As Sarah Westwood reports, the white house is ready to fight back. Trumps National Emergency declaration has opened up even more divides among lawmaker on capitol hill, even among just republicans who are split on the president taking this approach. Democrats have always opposed the idea of the president building a border wall no matter the funding source, but they also say the president using his Emergency Declaration powers in this way is unconstitutional, and while some republicans have expressed some disdmfcomfort wi the idea of the president setting a precedent by using his Emergency Powers in this way, others are arguing that theres a genuine National Security and humanitarian crisis on the border, and theyre also saying that this is not subversion of the will of congress. Because congress did include some funding for the border wall in this spending package that trump signed on friday. Take a listen to the startling different opinions expressed by democratic congressman adam shif and republican congressman jim jordan on sunday. This is the first time the president has tried to declare an emergency when congress explicitly rejected funding for the particular project that the president is advocating, and in saying just the other day that he didnt really need to do this. He just wanted to do it because it would help things go faster, he is pretty much daring the court to strike this down. All i know is this is a serious situation. This is a crisis. Look at the drug problem, the Human Trafficking problem, the Gang Violence problem. Thats why we need the Border Security wall, and thats what the president is committed to making sure happens. The white house is prepared to fight legal and congressional battles in defense of the president s move. House democrats are already working on a resolution of disapproval to try to prevent the president from using his executive power in this way. That could gain some traction in the senate. Top trump advisor Steven Miller suggested on sunday that the president would be willing to use his veto power to stop that measure from moving forward. If that resolution were to reach his desk. There are a number of roadblocks facing the Trump Administration before they are even able to touch a single penny of the roughly 6 billion in additional federal funds that trump had hoped to unlock by declaring a National Emergency. Sarah westwood, cnn, west palm beach, florida. Lets get some analysis on all of this brsh we are joined by professor of International Politics at City University of london. Thanks for being with us. Youre very welcome. Many explosive revelations in this Andrew Mccabe interview. I want to start with the revelation the Deputy Attorney general Rod Rosenstein apparently considered removing President Trump from office by invoking the 25th amendment after mr. Trump fired former fbi director james comey. Rosenstein said he wasnt in a position to consider invoking that amendment and it appears nothing came of it, but what is your reaction to this bombshell revelation from mccabe . Well, its an allegation which weve known about for a little while, but it doesnt diminish the explosive character of it. This is the agency, if you like, it within the constitution or the government that protects the government of the United States and the people of the United States, and theyre saying theyre going to remove the president , and they are discussing with likeminded individuals within the agency, and no doubt, outside of it to some extent as well. I think this suggests a deep schism within the body of the United States where the president is being spoken about in that kind of way. Yes. Presumably, though, they changed their mind, if they got as far as that with it. We also learned another shocking revelation from Andrew Mccabes interview that President Trump did not believe his own Intelligence Agency that told him north Korea Missiles could hit the u. S. He didnt believe it because russias president putin told him it wasnt true. How concerned should we be about this unprecedented disclosure . It kind of adds further fuel to the fire, which is the kind of original sin of candidate trump is that we appear to be fairly kind of not unfriendly or not hostile enough for many in the United States to russia and what is going on in syria and ukraine and so on. I think President Trump or candidate trump was under suspicion from 2016 onward. I think by the time that he gets into office, there is a great deal of skepticism whether President Trump actually, if you like, is trustworthy according to some of the particular kinds of forces within the United States. Again, i think this adds further fuel to that fire that somehow he has has been aiming accordingly, and therefore, is at odds with those that would defend america. I think thats an essential allegation that is fuelling all of this, and i think it is tested. Mccabe also revealed that Rod Rosenstein was apparently willing to wear a wire into a meeting with President Trump. Rosenstein denies he pursued any recording and a source in the room said rosenstein was being sarkassic, but mccabe insists he was serious about this. What would rosenstein have been trying to get on tape from the president , do you think . Well, if you look at the whole series of allegations that President Trump was somehow colluding or was too friendly with russia, which the fbi and mccabe and others, many others, in the kind of broader establishment of American Foreign policy considered to be an enemy of the United States and of the west as a whole. You can see that approximate what would he be looking to get into wear ag wire . You would be looking to get some kind of information which the president would let slip, which he, you know, often speaks rather in offhanded ways. Theres further evidence to that frame, which i think its a rather farfetched claim, and thats my guess as to what he would be looking for in any kind of conversation that he recorded. Again, there was no followthrough on this. Thank you so much for joining us. Wee appreciate it. Snoo thank you. Border patrol agents say barriers have helped their efforts to prevent people from entering the country illegally. Nick valencia looked at all the tools at Border Agents disposal for this report in june of last year. The Border Patrol says the area still looked much the same today. Any indication, any foot sign of anything thats come across so we can get on it. There are a lot of things. Articles of clothing, water bottle. We have an inhaler. Looks like a bag of salsa left behind. With these agents, agent rodriguez is doing right now, he is trying to listen to hear for signs of foot traffic, signs of mi migrants coming across here. The rio grande is just right here. This area is an ideal location for border police. You have the impedeance here of the wall. You have Technology Just behind us. Thats a tower that has a day camera and nighttime camera, and then you have the access roads for the access and mobility of the agents. We need to have a strong capability of detecting any ellegal incursion, identifying that illegal incursion, having the capability of responding to that incursion and then, of course, coming to resolve. Now they have this wall here. They have the technology piece that is able to identify that incursion and detect that incursion early so agents can respond to it, so the traffic here has been minimized greatly. It gives you aa fighting chance. Exactly. This is the end of the border wall of the infrastructure as they call it here. With the initial project, they ran out of funding, so you may notice a big part of it missing where. With the current funding allocated, they say this is one of the things that theyre going to address first. This is the rio grande right behind me. The wall is, what, maybe a couple hundred yards away. It was a really quick process and really quick run for the smugglers to get either their narcotics commodity or illegal aliens to a spot jsh thats mexico right there . Thats mexico right across. They literally cross in routes within seconds. Theyre very organized, the smuggling organization. They have scouts on the mexican side that are watching our every move. They have facilitators that are also monitoring the main roads. Theyre watching what agents are doing and so forth. Very coordinated effort. Its not just a random runner that we can get across. The past part of the infrastructure, the technology thats currently placed here, we have groups of 40, 50 run across here and make it to a loadup spot really, really fast. How has the wall changed things . The wall has been huge. Not only the wall, but the technology piece here as well. Well go over that here in a bit, so rather than them just running across a small levy, now they have the infrastructure, the border wall in place that impedes their quick movements. Right now they have to scale the wall so the groups have gone down from about 40, 50, to 15 or 20. This is an area we dont see that much traffic anymore because the smugglers know. Are there certain times of day you see more trying to get across . Theyre opportunists, so whenever they feel that the opportunity is there for them to run their narcotics or illegal aliens, theyll do it. You are watching them, but theyre also watching you. This is Something Else thats been very effective for the Border Patrol to stop illegal migration and narcotics trafficking. This is leftover bits of border wall. So far no one has treated to lo tried their luck at it. You can get an in depth look at the entire length of the u. S. Mexico border at cnn. Com.

In haiti the government is pleading for are peace in the streets after days of violent protests. Officials are asking schools, universities, and businesses to reopen on monday. They are mobilizing the countrys police force to make that happen. For more than a week angry crowds have been demanding hate yis ae president step down. With crippling inflation and corruption allegations, and the riots have blocked access to basic goods for the people who need the most. Sam kylie reports. This is the road to the capitals biggest hospital. More than a week of rioting has left it desolate. Its grounds are home to livestock. Protests mark the second anniversary of juvenile presidency. Across haiti they demand he step down. Im told that most of the patients, hundreds of them, have fled. Its easy to see why. This is your intensive care unit . Yes. We have nothing. We really have nothing. Nothing. Theres no machinery. Theres no the doctor tells me that the hospital was crippled by shortages before the riots. Now its also short of patience. This is the State University hospital of haiti, and its been cut off by the city by riots. Theres no food here or water. No medicines either. This man is now stuck. He used to be getting drugs. Next to him is madam. Her catheter drains into a wash bowl. This is the reason why you can do what you have to do. When already poor people feel that their very existence is doubted about i their leaders, theyre likely to try to prove oids. Sam kylie, nn in portauprince. We turn to the humanitarian crisis in venezuela. U. S. Senator marco rubio is slamming the government of sitting president Nicholas Maduro for rejecting much needed relief. Rubio, visited a columbian warehouse where u. S. Aid for venezuela is being stored and said the suppliers will be delivered with or without mr. Maduro. I think ultimately the question is whether it gets through in a way that he is cooperative with or in a way that he is not. Theres no way you are going to stand ultimately in the wave of people whose children are starving to death, whose families are dying in hospitals because of preventible diseases, and they dont have the medicine for it. Im not going to publicly announce to allow the regime and their allies to make efforts to block it, but i would say this. Imagine for a moment if youre a member of the National Guard or the venezuelan military, your own family is hungry. Your own family is starving. Your own relatives are dying because they cant get dyalysis or hiv medications, and youre going to follow an order to block them from reaching the people . Venezuelas p on zbligs leader juan guiado is urging his supporters to stand against president maduro. He says his goal is to enlist a million volunteers to deliver the aid by saturday.
