Short on the ladder right now. In his Early Morning tweet might be sewing deeper divisions in his party. The president ripped conservatives blaming them for torpedoing his health care bill. This is what he wrote. Democrats are smiling in d. C. The freedom cause cuss have saved planned parenthood and o jb care. Could President Trump work with democrats to score victory over the far right flank of his party . Lets a talk it over with athena jones from the white house. Its a very interesting question about whether they are going to be willing to work with democrats. Its something we heard white house chief of staff Reince Priebus talk about several times in an interview this morning on Fox News Sunday this idea of working across the aisle, working with democrats, but also having the Republican Caucus come together. It gives us a a little bit of a clue about their legislative strategy going forward. Watch. They are going to get to rel reforms, whether it be taxes, reform, infrastructure, this president is ready it lead. And sort of over with the games and the legislature. Interesting to hear the chief of staff talk about how this president is is ready to lead, ready to talk to anyone who wants to make a deal. But he talked about games over with the games with the legislature. The bottom line is that getting anything done, getting the president s priorities accomplished is going to require working with the legislature. And its going to require not just working with house leadership, but figuring out a way to deal with house conservatives who blocked this bill. Also with moderate republicans in the house. Whats interesting is when you have chief of staff talking about working with chief of staff, you have on twitter blasting democrats along with the House Freedom kcaucus. The Freedom Caucus, the conservative members, they make up about 30 members of the house. So they are going to have to figure out how do you work with these groups, is it conducive to blast them and bash them and then still expect them to come to the table. Doing things is hard. And doing big things is going to require these sides working together. Taking a deep breath. Got to love politics. Athena jones live at the white house, thank you. Lets turn our attention to the committee in congress trying to find out if theres an improper connection to President Trump and russia. We were supposed to hear testimony this tuesday, but this man shut the hearing down. He chairs the house Intelligence Committee. He says the hearing was simply postponed. Democrats say it was cancelled and they are fearhouse about it. One is call iing for nunez to sp down. Suppressing answers, stirring confusion, keeping people in the dark, wont allow us to fulfill our mission. A few minutes ago i spoke to the congressman here ob cnn. I think this is a twofold cam pawn by the leadership on the republican side of the house and the white house. Its distraction and obstruction. Theres no way it cant account for the things taking place. They have done nothing to help the investigation. Theres zero reason to cancel tuesdays meeting other than last weeks public hearing went so horribly for them. What was the reason he gave you for canceling the hearing this week . E he gave no reason directly to the democrats. We spoke to the chairman and then without telling us, he he had gave the staff 15 minutes notice he was going to have this press conference where he a announce the cancellation. There was no discussion as to why. Theres going to be other testimony. The two arent mutually exclusive. Tz because the public mood is fighting against them. Congressman, it seems that this committee needs desperately to Work Together to get answers for the American People. Can this Intelligence Committee handle the investigation without becoming too partisan. We cant say we saw evidence that the president was wiretapped. Do you believe this needs to be handed off to an independent commission . We need an independent prosecutor. But the house and Senate Committees have abilities this the others may not. We sgl in what way . There were a whole series of investigations. Each one had their own merits. We need to do the same. Have you seen more than circumstantial evidence of possible conclusion between the russians and Trump Campaign associates. Its a former criminal defense attorney is this. Theres probable cause to believe that there was coordination. That was a democrat on the house Intelligence Committee. So joining me now to discuss further is cnn political analyst josh rogan and juliette cayenne. You just heard the congressman being very careful with his words describing what hes seeing as probable cause to believe that there was coordination between trump insiders and the russians. Those are some pretty strong words for a member of the intelligence community. Right, and that matches what the Ranking Member has previously said. It seems like theres enough to investigate ask no proof theres actual conclusion. But what i really got from that accident interview that you showed is theres no way for the house Intelligence Committee to conduct a a bipartisan cooperative investigation. I think that ship has sailed. Thats abundantly clear. Nunez cannot be seen as a credible steward of such an investigation. It seems like the damage between nunez and chef is is irreparable and with the rest of the committee. So Something Else is going to have to happen in order for the American People to have confidence that this matter has been fully investigated and put to rest. Those people are appointed by the leadership. That could become a partisan exercise. Theres no real magic bullet thats going to solve this. But the House Committee i dont see how we get back to normal on that one. Whats your take . Can this process continue in its current form . No, i u agree with josh. We started the week looking very promising to the extent that comey came out so forcefully acknowledging there was an investigation and then by nunez, whatever happened with this w k week, by this weekend, its clear that cant continue. Theres a senate. Theres three investigations going on. Theres the fbi investigation, which did learn about and i think its important to know one of the reasons why comey was acknowledged is because he wants the public to know there is is this investigation going on. The senate also has its own investigation and they have been much more quiet. There was a little bit u of issues involving senator burg and his contacts with the white house, but he seems to have sort of quieted down. They are doing their work and so i think that in that investigation out of the house. I dont want to blame the entire committee. I know you know in a recent article that john mccain is among those calling for this independent commission that both you need to. Happen. Are dwrou hearing from any other republicans saying the same. I have seen graham say hes close to that. There are conservative who is have advocated for a select committee who are not in congress. But u so far john mccain is the only sitting member. I was with him in brussels at an International Forum this past weekend and he said the United States public has a right to have some sort of confidence that this it issue has been adjudicated in a way that would move on. Its too important. Were not talking about the conclusion, which is maybe true, maybe not true. Were talking about the russian interference in our election. And we need somebody to get to the bottom of that. We need somebody to do that independently. The select committee or whatever it is is going to have to happen. Its just a matter of time before more and more lawmakers come around to that. Juliette, you had mentioned previously you were awaiting the testimony from sally yates, the former acting a. G. When President Trump took office. Now that hearing is cancelled. What do you make of this . I u think thats very unfortunate. Some of these witnesses could be beneficial to the trump administration. Its clear nunez does not think that anymore. And so does not want them to have a public forum. Sally yates was interesting. Shes known in democratic circles because she was willing to get fired during the muslim ban, but we learned before that she had warned the Trump White House about the former National Security adviser Michael Flynn and about him possibly from the news reports possibly keeping from the white house in particular by mike pence his contacts with russia and the russian ambassador. The white house held on that information until the media reported on it. Thats when mike flynn got fired. I was awaiting it because many of us are curious about Michael Flynn at this stage. What is he doing right now. And what he knew and in what stage. So sally yates is giving clarity regarding that because of her sort of very aggressive stance with the white house early on in the administration. We did hear from carter page and roger stone and Paul Manafort in the last couple days saying they would volunteer to go before the committee. Some of thunderstorm in a public setting, to testify about what they know. Josh wharks mo, what more are w learning about when and if that could happen . E we dont have any time iin. E we saw roger stone on a sunday show this morning denying any conclusion. Hes the one most directly in the firing line because hes admitted to contacts he says were innocuous. Im sure thats a subject of the investigation. Manafort has been in the news because hes continue yulely accused of doing business with people related to the putin government. That may or may not have anything to do with the campaign. He might just be doing business with the russians for the sake of doing business with the russians. Carter page is a separate case. Hes more of a low level guy with incidental contacts. He did travel to moscow. But in the end, theres a lot less there because he was such an outside guy in the campaign. And then theres flynn, who has been very silent. I think hes just being prudent. I dont have any specific information. I know they have other reporting on that. But the point is that e eventually, all these guys are going to have to be cleared or indicted. Barring any new information, it doesnt seem like indicts are coming. So its an accusation that has to be resolved. If i were them, i would want to clear my name too. I think in one way or another, the only way to really do that is to face the congressional testimony and make their defense. Could congress ask the president to come and testify before them . No, simply not. He wouldnt. But theres one thing that josh did say that is worth noting. While theres a criminal investigation going on and questions about the theory of that case in terms of how far up does this go and what does the president know and know it, which will be, plained through the process of an investigation of these four men that were just mentioned, i should say that its important to remember and josh brought it up earlier that if the fbi investigation, we still have the bigger r National Foreign policy issue of russia. We are watching russia today on the news, but its involvement with our campaign, that cant get resolved by the fbi or an indictment. And my worry is that were going to be so focused on the fbi side of it that the bigger issue, the geopolitical issue does not get resolved, including directing or executive agencies. What to do in the instances of russian aggression. Its hard to believe. It seems too painful to want the to come tntemplate. Very quickly add that i think shes right. The bigger issue here is the russian interference. Theres a lot of committees working on that. Foreign Relations Committee and as for the trump associates, they havent been charged with anything. If they are, the presumed innocent until Proven Guilty ask thats something we should keep in mind. Its still the beginning of the investigations. Josh roggin, thank you to you.

Com cook were following following protests out in cities in russia. Take a look at these. Pictures. Hundreds of people are under arrest as they were rallying for the resignation the of the Prime Minister over corruption allegations. These unsanctioned mass demonstrations mark a rare show of nationwide defiance. We can tell you now one of those arrested was a putin opponent. This comes just days after another critic was shot dead outside a hotel in broad daylight in ukraine. Joining me now is Senior International correspondent matthew chance. What is the latest on these protests . The protests across this vast country are effectively have come to an end. There were 500 arrests, according to state media, just here in the russian capital. There have been thousands of people that have been taking to the streets across russia in st. Petersburg anded the far east in ab extra ordinary display of opposition to the government and to the allegations of corruption specifically against the russian Prime Minister. They are calling for him to resign. But i think the kremlin will be taking note these are elite coming out into the streets. This is a country of more than 140 million people, most of whom still very strongly behind the kremlin and behind its leader Vladimir Putin. You talk about the corruption being the big issue. When you see this sort of outward expression of so much emotion boiling over, this isnt something you see in russia every day i would imagine. No, these are probably the biggest protests in russia since 2011 and 2012. But youre right, its rare. A lot has happened over the course of the past several years. Nationalism is on the rise. They have annexed crimea as part of ukraine. They have gone to war in syria. And Vladimir Putin, the russian. President , is very much riding still a popular wave, a nationalistic wave. Thats not going to be dented by these protests. There are elements of his government, the Prime Minister for one, who is deeply unpopular, and this is an expression of that frustration. Interesting to hear his Prime Minister so unpopular and putin very popular. Matthew chance, thank you for adding that perspective for us.
