The government is not happy with this. They say there is no conditions of release they believe to keep the public safe. The judge acknowledged he does have some concerns here and he said it makes me very nervous but i dont think that justifies detention because again lieutenant hasson only charged with drug and weapons charges. The judge reiterating when mr. Hasson is eventually released, that those thirdparty custodians, whether it is his mother or fatherinlaw, the judge said they are expected to be the eyes and ears of the court. The judge acknowledging that, yes, there is a risk of flight as with any case but hopes the electronic monitoring will prevent that. What happens from here . There is not an automatic release. He is not walking out free now. They have to determine the exact terms of release, there has to be paperwork filed and, brooke, prosecutors have said they will immediately appeal this decision. So as such, the judge is actually put a stay on his ruling and the government will be appealing, usually we understand those appeals take about a week. So lieutenant hasson, although this judge said he should be released, it is not definite as to when and it could take another week or more before hes actually released. Unless a higher Court Decides that that is not appropriate here. Brooke. Sounds like there is more to the story still unfolding. Jessica schneider, stay on it in greenbelt, maryland. And quick check of the dow here as it has been plummeting and fast. Down 566 points, an hour to go in the trading day. The key issue and all of this pertaining to the trade talks. Between china and the u. S. Weve seen the threats from President Trump over twitter and he has until friday and well see if he makes good on his threat to raise the tariffs and will he make good or is this negotiating tactic or art of the deal. Stay tuned for that. And now the president s war can congress. Contempting contempt. The Trump Administration has defied three deadlines, request for documents and congressional subpoenas and democrats will consider holding four members of the Trump Administration in contempt. Former White House Counsel Don Mcgahn is among those who is not complying. Today the white house ordered him to ignore a subpoena from house democrats. And just last hour staff for judiciary chairman jerry nadler met with the department of justice to, quote, negotiate an accommodation. Lets go straight to cnn correspondent ramu what have you heard about the meeting and he is cal ating tensions escalating tensions. Reporter that meeting is now over and they met on the hill for under an hour and following that meeting, an aide to chairman nadler, the chairman of the committee, said as of now at this moment the contempt vote is still scheduled, it still on for wednesday morning. So that would certainly suggest there was no breakthrough, no compromise reached, no deal reached in that meeting today which was of course the goal of the meeting, going into that meeting the chairman said he would be willing to put on hold the contempt vote if they could, in his words, if there was a goodfaith effort to give access to democrats for what they want. They want the underlying if evidence and the full unredacted Mueller Report but as you note this is one of many battles that have escalated on capitol hill this week. Were talking about requests for documents denied, congressional subpoenas and many of which have been defied. And speaking of the house nancy pelosi, she said earlier today that this shows that the president and the administration are just trying to provoke democrats. Trump is goading us to impeach him. That is what hes doing. Every single day. Hes just like taunting, taunting, taunting. Because he knows that it would be very divisive in the country but he doesnt really care. Just wants to solidify his base. Reporter so you could clearly sense frustration growing on the speaker of the house face there as she talked about this stonewalling coming from the white house even as, brooke, she tries to show restraint and take a more cautious approach to impeachment and that is the message that she continues to send her conference. Sun lynn, thank you. Lets analyze that. Ashar ingapa, when we spoke last week, we spoke about the possibility for a. G. Bill barr being held in contempt and you said were in the back alleys of crazy town, near the dark dumpster. You remember this conversation . So chairman nadler said this vote is still on tomorrow. Where are we now . Brooke, i guess now the bodies will start getting put in the dumpster. Look, this is really the ultimate limits of the showdown between congress and the executive branch. Ultimately each institution in our government has certain powers and they need to be honored or respected or assert them if they are not being honored or respected so congress is in a position right now where they are either going to have to take the next step, which is not only to hold the people in contempt, but to potentially invoke their own inherent contempt powers to give them the possibility of levying fines or sending people to jail which is an extreme measure or to up the ante and begin to invoke their impeachment power as the grounds for obtaining this kind of information. Well the Senate Majority leader, he said it is case closed. Mitch mcconnell took to the floor today to say this. This investigation went on for two years. It is finally over. Many americans were waiting to see how their elected officials would respond. With an exhaustive investigation complete, would the country finally unify and confront the real challenges before us. Or would we remain consumed by unhinged partisanship and keep dividing ourself to the point that putin and his agents only need sit on the side lines and watch us as their job is done for them. Regrettably the answer is pretty obvious. So in that speech, asha, leader mcconnell suggested that democrats were more angry with barr than they have been with putin. Think of how many times the president has been angry with putin and never even mentioned obstruction. This is like gaslighting central, brooke. It is very rich for senator mcconnell to be even speaking about countering russian aggression. This was somebody who refused to present a united front when the fbi informed him before the election that russia was interfering in the election. And even threatened to politicize it if they made it public. And making it public would have helped neutralize russias actions and therefore by keeping it silent, it effectively enabled them to a large degree. So i dont even know what to say to that. And it is definitely not over. We know there are 12 investigations spun off from muellers probe. There is still the open question of obstruction. And there is still an ongoing counterintelligence investigation which is not over as far as anyone knows. And that has been ongoing since russia began its activities in 2015. I also want to ask you as former fbi, we saw fbi director chris wray clashing with the a. G. In a very public way. This was about barr in his use of the word spying and defending the president s claims that the fbi spied on the Trump Campaign and here is director wray today. Well that is not the term i would use. Look, there are a lot of people with different col oakal phrases and i believe the fbi is engaged in investigative activity and part of that activity includes surveillance activity of different shapes and and to me the key question is making sure that it is done by the book. What did you think about that, how he broke with his boss in a major way very publicly . I think that he said it exactly right. He said it the way the fbi would carry characterize it and because spying is a vague and loaded and unspecific term. Remember in the fbi as director ray said, they conduct investigations. And there are many investigative techniques which range from relatively nonintrusive to intrusive. So even though the word surveillance could be physical or following someone on foot and dig through trash and listening to phone conversations and all of these have different kinds of approvals and requirements and thresholds to meet. So i think that anyone who is using vague terms and not actually identifying the specific technique that they are suggesting was misused, everyones ear should perk up because that is not a genuine allegation or way of addressing the situation. Asha, good to see you. Thank you very much for that. Despite the fights with congressional democrats, President Trump is getting high marks for his handling of the u. S. Economy. Check this out. This is according to a new cnn poll that shows that more than half of americans, 56 , approve of trumps work when it comes to the economy. Cnn special correspondent jamie gengel is here with me and that number is up eight points since february and haze Approval Ratings are up. That is good news for him. Right. So there is a new gallup poll that we have out and it is good news but the devil is in the details. If you look at that poll, democrats, 12 . Republicans 91 approval rating. But independents, key we know, only 37 . The other thing is there is a magic number in politics. 50 . He only has ome has 46 which is higher but hes the only president in modern history never to have been above 50 in his overall approval rating. And what happens if the economy goes down . This is a snapshot. What happens when Robert Mueller testifies next week . What happens when you see the dow falling today. So these things are going to go up and down but hes still hasnt hit 50 . Something i also want to ask you about today, a constituent for republicans saying the president is for evangelicals but when you look on the democratic side it is this south bend mayor making news, Pete Buttigieg on talking publicly about his faith. So here is a clip from him earlier today on nbc. It is also important that we stop seeing religion used as a kind of koj ill, as if god belonged to a Political Party and if you did, i cant imagine it would be the one that set the current president into the white house. Cant imagine they would be republican. It is very refreshing. You look at the other democrat candidates, they do not talk about religion. He is not scared to talk about it. He goes to church every week. And he has used this against both Vice President pence and donald trump. I just want to borrow the headline from cnn. Com, one of the colleagues zack cohen wrote a piece and the headline was Pete Buttigieg, a gr a Gray Christian is driving the religious right nuts and i think that sums it up and hell keep on doing it. He is very comfortable in this lane. He is. I just well talk at the break. I have a thought but ill hold onto it. Were still so early. Jamie gengel, thank you, appreciate it. Where in the world is mike pompeo . The secretary of state abruptly canceling a meeting with the german chancellor to go to a secret location and the headlines that melting arctic ice might be a good thing. Hear his argument based on trade. And ill talk to lucy mcbath and hear her response after the new nra president said she was only elected from georgia because she was, and im quoting, a minority female.

For a limited time, join tmobile and get the awesome iphone xr on us. Were back. Youre watching cnn, im brooke baldwin. And now to the schedule change igniting speculation the world over. Secretary of state mike pompeo was supposed to meet with german chancellor Angela Merkel and her foreign minister but he canceled on them. The reason . Pressing issues, according to the state department. Might those issues be iran, where a quote unquote specific credible threat was suspected prompting the u. S. To deploy the strike group or north korea where kim jonguns regime just did a shortrange missile test or venezuela where the u. S. Is trying to get cash to the leader amid the uprising and the press pool was warned that journalists could not report from the country they are headed to until after they leave. Heather conley is a former assistant secretary of state and senior Vice President for europe,ure asia and the center for strategic studies. Nice to have you on. This is speculation because none of us knows where he is, but what location would be so secretive and so important that would merit the u. S. Secretary of state canceling a meeting with Angela Merkel . Yeah, this is a great mystery. And the fact that there are some press reports that suggest that the secretarys plane was tracking east. East of finland where he was previously attending the Arctic Council and that would be russia. He was supposed to go to berlin and then on to london. Our british colleagues are saying that portion hasnt been visited so is this a one quick trip but going longer distances, i would suspect that the london visit may be postponed or canceled as well. But this is extraordinary and youre right, you have the top tr the top three contenders are iran, north korea or venezuela but who knows where secretary pompeo is right now. So question mark on that. We know that he left finland where he had spoken to the Arctic Council, the leader of the nations that touch the Arctic Circle and argued that melting arctic ice might be an opportunity. Watch. The arctic is at the forefront of opportunity and abundance. It houses 13 of the worlds undiscovered oil. 30 of its undiscovered gas and an abundance ofureainam and millennials and Gold Diamonds and millions of untapped resources and sea ice is opening new passage ways and opportunities for trade. Arctic sea lanes could come before become the 24th srntd suez and panama canal. And people are taking note that he failed to say two key specific words in that speech being Climate Change. Yeah. What is interesting, he is part of a group that years back denied it was even happening. They said it was a 17year pause and this is a liberal stunt and the chinese it is a hoax. But now you can buy a first class ticket on a luxury cruise line and go from anchorage to new york over the top because so much ice is melted. You could have a hot totty and wave to a polar bear and the world scientists put out a massive report and said a million species are at risk because human beings are digging and mining and drilling and paving every corner of the planet. And instead of seeing a meltic arctic as a huge red flag, they are rubbing their hands together and saying more oil. More minerals. At a line when scientists are trying to call for world leaders, russia is happy today. As they warm, they could get the oil in the arctic. So it is a russia to get up there. A rush to get up there at a time when scientists are saying, guys, come together, because we keep this up there will be no planet left to claim. There will be no supply chains to defend or no more minerals to mine. It is sort of like theyre the scientists are like the guy in the Movie Theater on fire yelling fire but the manager, instead of calling the fire department, they lock the doors and open the snack bar. Its so opposite of the message from those on the environmental side. And were getting more news relate this part of the world and heather, let me bring you back in, they did not issue a formal declaration sign the by all eight Foreign Ministers and that is the first time it failed to do so since this council was created back in 1996. And a source is now telling cnn that it is because the u. S. Refused to sign over wording on Climate Change. A source from the u. S. State department refuted that saying the u. S. Was ready to sign. What do you make of all of this and how much did it concern you . So, yes, this is the first time that we had a basically a chairman statement, finland is the chair of the Arctic Council and the u. S. Was the chair from 2015 to 2017. But the difference being after we pass the chairmanship to finland, this is when the Trump Administration with drew from the Paris Climate Accord and so they were able to word it in the previous declaration but this time clearly it was not so it is a very unusual way for the chairman to issue a statement. Even in that statement it was very clear that when any reference to Climate Change or the paris accords, it was a majority of us. And that was the u. S. Standing alone. Secretary pompeo give a very
