Comparison. He sent press Secretary Sean Spicer out for a news conference. Intentionally named inframedy to minimize the support it gathered on the mall. This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration period. Both in person and around the globe. White house counselor Kellyanne Conway was asked by chuck todd about the claims. You did not answer the question of why the president asked the White House Press secretary to come out in front of the podium for the first time and utter a falsehood. Why did he do that . It under mines the credibility of the White House Press office on day one. Dont be dramatic, chuck. You are saying it is a falsehood. They are giving sean spicer, gave alternative facts to that. Wait a minute. Alternative facts . Those are not facts. They are falsehoods. Sean spicer set to give the First Official press briefing at 1 30 this afternoon. There was more news overnight from Kellyanne Conway. Conway walked back remarks she made about the tax returns of trump. She seemed to say the president would never release tax documents. Conway told abc the issue was litigated through the campaign. She returned to the campaigns position that the president is under audit and advised by lawyers not to release the taxes. She did not indicate after the audit is complete whether the documents will be released. You can release your tax returns under audit. There is nothing that prevents you. It wont be long before the first lawsuit is filed against trump. The Group Citizens for ethics and responsibility in washington or c. R. E. W. Is filing suit. The group claims the president violated ethics laws the moment he was sworn in. We turn to Laura Jarrett in washington for us. Reporter good morning, christine. A couple hours, we will see the lawsuit filed. The clause is a revision in the constitution you dont hear about often. It prohibits the president from accepting an item of value from a foreign official without congressional approval on. As we know, President Trump has a stake in hundreds of businesses and partnerships all over the world. In the months leading up to election day, experts called on him to divest. He refused. He opted to keep the ownership stake. Now trump is president , they say he is illegally receiving cash. By virtue of keeping that ownership stake. When someone stays at his hotel, that violates the constitution if a payment is received. The trump team said they will give profit to the u. S. Treasury so that is how they seem to want to attack this. I wonder, laura, is a judge likely to let it go forward . Reporter the emoluments clause doesnt come up every day. There is a debate how this would apply. Some say fair market transact n transactions say this doesnt violate the constitution. Other lawyers say any foreign payment is forbidden because it goes to the heart and purpose of the constitution. The framers were worried about this exact issue of corrupting influence is what the plaintiffs say. The hurdle is the plaintiffs have to show they have standing to come in to federal court. You have to show you have been harmed in some way. That will be a challenge. You know, the other thing to watch is the plaintiffs may try to get their hands on the president s tax returns. You know, they will claim they need to examine what income trump has received from foreign governments. We know the white house issued no comment. Eric trump said this is political harassment. He called it a sad lawsuit. Thats right. Laura jarrett. And the group claims that its standing is as a watch dog group, it diverted too much attention to this as opposed to other things it wants to look over. That may not be persuasivpersua two cabinet meetings today. One for mike pompeo for cia director. And by 9 00 p. M. Tonight, mike pompeo will be confirmed. Also growing support for secretary of state nominee rex tillerson. His nomination will get a vote in the Senate ForeignRelations Committee this afternoon. Republicans john mccain and Lindsey Graham now say they will support the nomination of the former exxonmobil ceo. That should give the republicans the votes they need when he comes before the full senate. We dont know how marco rubio will vote. The fact that most of the nominees seemed to be getting more support has the Trump Administration turning up the heat to push through the nominees more quickly. Chuck schumer has other ideas. This cabinet is unique and a lot different than others. We call it the swamp cabinet billionaires and bankers. They all get, many of them, the controversial ones, will get very, very thourough discussion on the floor. Only two have been confirmed. James mattis and john kelly. All of this caps a tumultuous first weekend for the president. He started at the cia headquarters in virginia and gave remarks that he would focus on politics as well as intelligence. I have a running war with the media. They are among the most dishonest human beings on earth. And they made it sound like i had a feud with the Intelligence Community. I get up this morning. I turn on one of the networks. They show an empty field. I said wait. I made a speech. I looked out. The field was, it looked like 1 million or 1. 5 million people. They showed a field where practically nobody was standing there. The president is denying he is in any feud with the Intelligence Community despite harsh words. A few weeks ago, he accused officials of acting like nazis claiming they were behind a Smear Campaign against him. The remarks about the crowds were spoken in front of the wall of stars honoring cia officers killed in the line of duty. Fact the president gave the statement he did where he did brought on a tough response from former cia director john brennan sgrchlt. He is sad and angered about the self aggrandizement. And President Trump is starting with a central motion of the campaign. Meeting with leaders of canada and mexico to discuss nafta. Lets break down the first weekend in office. We brought in the political reporter eugene scott. He is here in new york after being here with us in washington. I want to listen to the president a little bit in the east room on sunday. This was a moment after the weekend of events. A moment that felt like an evolution of President Trump. Listen to him talking about who he is here to help. And as i said during my inaugural address, this is not about party. This is not about ideology. This is about country. Our country. It is about serving the American People. We will prove worthy of this moment in history. I think it may very well be a great moment in history. So be proud. Be very proud. Its not about me. Its about the people. That is, to me, that is the period on the sentence of the weekend. A tumultuous weekend. I noticed quite a few times even on Inauguration Day and day after while i was covering the campaign, he often said im the only one who can fix it. When he was inaugurated, he said we. We will help take this country to where it needs to be. There are concerns since he got in the white house about who he is talking to exactly and which people he is for. You may have seen he removed the civil rights page shortly after the inauguration. The womens page was removed. I mmigrants page was removed. There was a lot of concern over who he is here to serve. The weekend was messy for him. He got in the fight over crokrc sizes. That is not something voters care about. If he had just allowed that 30 seconds or that tweet to go by, that would have been the end of the story. He made it the news story of the weekend by being angry about it. He is president. He has an opportunity to make everyone forget what happened this weekend. He just has to do stuff that voters care about. And he will be signing executive action today. They may be controversial. They could be about trade or immigration. He needs to start delivering on some of the plans proposals. He does. We covered the campaign and the first hour he will sign executive order deporting people. He said on the first day he would sign executive order with the Resettlement Program from syria. It is interesting to see how he explains to people him not signing some of the things he campaigned to sign. What do you expect from sean spicer . He will take questions. The first time he went out in front of the press was a lecture. Veteran reporters were stunned. He said things werent true. Stunned. What do you expect today . Hopefully facts. Not alternative facts. Addressing issues that American Voters said they cared about. Obamacare. They want to see the confirmations go forward or understand what the people that the Trump Administration have put up will accomplish. Also, you know, tonight there will be a meeting with the democratic and Republican Leaders and President Trump. They want to know the topics the group will focus on. You will come back and we will talk about why the white house came forward and said these things this weekend that arent true. There are explanations for it. Well talk about that. Thank you. See you soon. The president s approach to diplomacy. He gets his first test this week. A lot of firsts. Meetings with key leaders. Big phone calls this weekend.

Theresa may will build on the special relationship with the United States and the United Kingdom focusing on trade and nato. Lets go live to london and bring in diplomatic editor nic robertson. Nic, this meeting is interesting. Both leaders need something from him. Reporter absolutely. For trump backing brexit and theresa may. He wants to defeat isis. He will find that with theresa may. She wants something. Particularly trade. She wants to know when britain leaves the eu, they can have a stronger trade relationship with the u. S. She told the eu no deal is better than a bad deal. She will turn britain into a tax haven to compete with the eu. That question of nato, they dont see eye to eye. Donald trump says it is obsolete. Theresa may called the head of nato to discuss what message she could take to trump. Clearly trying to serve several interests here. One of those is connecting with trump on trade, but also saying nato is important to both of us. We will watch that meeting closely. Nic robertson, thank you. President trump invited israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu to the white house next month. The president called the conversation sunday very nice. The new administration restating commitment to relocate the u. S. Embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem. Officials say it wont happen anytime soon. Lets get the latest from ian lee live in jerusalem. It was a Campaign Pledge from then candidate trump, to move the embassy, but a lot of allies and neighbors saying that should be done in the broader context with peace with the palestinians and israelis. Whats the latest . Reporter thats right, christine. In jerusalem, it really is the talk of the town with the local newspapers of the move of tel aviv to jerusalem. We heard from the White House PressSecretary Sean Spicer pumping the brakes. Saying they are in the beginning stages of discussing this subject. The palestinians are against it threatening they could revoke. President Muhammad Abbas will organize against this move. There is something crucial here. Trump is riding a wave of support in the arab world. President sisi was the first to call trump to congratulate him. Ian lee. Thank you so much.
