They took in large numbers, having problems like they never thought possible. Reporter the comments sparking confusion worldwide.

That fox news report, an interview with a conservative filmmaker who accused the swedish government of covering up Violent Crimes committed by refugees aired the night before the president s rally. It was an absolute surge in both gun violence and rape in sweden once it began the open door policy. Reporter swede the dish officials outraged, tweeting we look forward to informing the u. S.

White house chief of staff Reince Priebus denying collusion between the Trump Campaign and russian operatives before the election and knocking down reports that trump aides were in Constant Contact with russians. The top levels of the Intelligence Community have assured me that that story is not only inaccurate, but its grossly overstated and it was wrong. Reporter all as President Trump is still searching for a new National Security adviser after fire Michael Flynn for misleading the Vice President about his communications with russian officials. The president meeting with several candidates for the job over the weekend. Amid stories of dysfunction and chaos in the first month of his administration, President Trump escalating his war with the media. I also want to speak to you without the filter of the fake news. Reporter suggesting on twitter the media ask the enemy of the American People. The attacks on the free press drawing sharp rebuke in politicians on both sides. If you want to preserve democracy as we know it, you have to have a free and many times adversarial press. Thats how dictators get started. Reporter the president may have more meetings with potential National Security advisers here today before heading back to washington where this week he plans to unveil a new executive order on immigration. This as questions remain about other big Campaign Promises he made for day one like repealing and replacing obamacare. Brooke . Agent then nah, thank you. The government, the press, the people of sweden puzzled by President Trumps suggestion that an attack unfoelgded in sweden. Cnn International Correspondent ivan watson is live in stockholm with more. Ivan, how has the government there responded to this . Reporter the Foreign Ministry, the Sweden Embassy in washington reached out to the u. S. State department asking for clarification on these comments and have spoken to a spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry who said, well, donald trump, the u. S. President s tweet saying he was actually referring to something he saw on fox news, that kind of explains it. Were anticipating a statement soon. Meanwhile, this is front page news here in the newspapers here in sweden, pictures of donald trump and questions about why he made this statement about sweden or in this tabloid why he attacked sweden. There were a lot of questions after his initial statement, people looking for some kind of incident that could have taken place. When you look at the Police Blotters here, yes, police in stockholm friday night before the speech, they did stop someone drunk driving in town. They had a police chase here in stockholm. Another humorous story about a moose getting very intimate with a wooden moose in this town. This has led to an awful lot of mockery and jokes online with swedenincident and lastnightinsweden. People putting up photos of swedish meatballs, the swedish chef from the muppets, suggesting he could have been a terrorist attacker. Its been room for jokes like that. Theres also been more serious tweets from the former Prime Minister of this country, carl bilt asking what has he been smoking. Questions ab bond. Ivan, please let us know what youre able to develop about people feel about their reality with refugees, what it means for crime and society. A great reporter there. Joining us, republican congressman Adam Kinzinger of illinois, serves on the House Foreign Affairs committee, also an air force veteran. Good to see you, congressman, how are you doing . Good. How are you . So how do you feel about what the president said about sweden . The facts dont meet up with his urgency. What did you take from it . Its obviously embarrassing, it shouldnt have been said. It builds into the narrative about the emotion of the moment than it is about his security briefings and thats something hes been criticized for. Really though in the broad scheme of things, its an embarrassing moment. On the broad scheme of things this isnt a Huge International incident. I dont think it will lead to a break off of diplomatic relations. I think the narrative of the president , hes got to be more caged with his words and words do have an impact. Sore other words that could have an impact. What do you make of the fact that my checking of sweden and proving what the actual facts on the ground there will probably be met with the idea that i am fake news and an enemy of the American People . How do you like that sentiment . Is that what the president should be telling people . I dont like that. Truth matters. Everyone can see truth. A liberal will see things one way, a conservative another way. If a sky is orange, a pilot may see a beautiful sky, a ship captain may see a threatening sky, but its still truth. When we begin to say only believe with the truth that comports with your world view, thats dangerous. I think its one thing to have an additional question with the press. Politicians, if they feel like the press is being biased and they should be able to call that out. Its totally different to say a news story is all fake news, its not real. I think that leads down a very dangerous path. That path is only believe the truth that feels good to you. For me, i think its one thing to have an additional relationship. Its another thing to say the press is lying all the time. Are you worried that, if you often enough say things that criticize or disagree with the president , he is going to take to twitter and give you a thumping that will compromise your political future . No, i dont worry. I support him in a lot of areas. Besides some of the words, the Foreign Policy thats comes out is strong. I think as a conservative republican were excited about the agenda going forward. I was hired, i was elected to represent 700,000 people and represent my country, not my party. Im a republican because of what i believe but not because i have some allegiance to republicanism. Ill continue to do what i think is right. The consequences will lay themselves out. At the end of the day when im done with this job, i can look in the mirror and smile i hope. Do you think any new executive order that comes out this week should be more than just a temporary band should have actual extreme vetting procedures that are new to keep us more safe in it . No. Im going to leave that to the president. He does have a lot of leverage here. The idea of looking at vetting procedures, i would expect any new administration to come in and do this. When i was critical of this is when green card hold rs were brought in, folks who were translators for our military were brought in. I question why iraq is on the list. Theyre our biggest ally in the war against isis. They have some of the strongest vetting procedures because we built that after the invasion. We put in strong vetting procedures. I hope theyre not on the new executive order, but it sounds like they may be. Mike flynn. Do you have concerns, and there are five different congressional panels looking into connections between the administration or campaign and russia. Do you have concerns that mike flynn was made a scapegoat to kind of own any russia intrigue in the white house, because the more the facts come out, i dont know that its that clear why he was forced to resign. Whats your take . I was confused a little bit when i thought as i said, i the coverup is more than the i dont know if it would have been illegal. The coverup is what seems worse. I dont know how broad this goes or anything like that. I do know we need answers. I know its important for the House Intel Committee who said theyre going to do it, the senate intel committee, to use their classified settings to get to the bottom of this. We know the edict has been put out to preserve all communications with regards to this. I dont want to make this a highly partisan issue because it becometion just that, a partisan issue, where its hard to get to the truth of. Its important for the intel committees to get to the bottom of this. It will either exonerate whats going on and say there are no deep ties or well find out more. I think thats where the patience comes in and well see. How do you explain the president s his tendency to shelter russia from criticism . He didnt want to stay what the Intelligence Community was making plain about connections to the hacks. He didnt want to say what is made plain by most of the International Community about russias connection to the separatists in ukraine, and it goes on and on. Even when oreilly was talking to him about putin being a killer, oreillys words, the president said, well, there are a lot of them, what about us . What do you make of his desire to shelter russia in a way that is unusual in America Politics . You know, i dont know what to make of it. I have really conflicting signals here. In the administration, the people that he has put in the administration are class acts, i think topnotch. Vice president pence, mattis, all the way down, secretary of state tillerson. These are russia hawks, people who understand we can have a relationship with russia but understand we cant cross certain lines. On the other hand, his words violated that. Its confusing to me. My hope is its just a president right now hoping to make some kind of a big deal, grand bargain as new administrations that come in do. I would hope he watches i think he has the opportunity to be a fantastic Foreign Policy president , but i think he needs to watch things like Vladimir Putin is on the moral equivalence of the United States because hes not. 700,000 people sent you to washington. I bet they would all want to say yes to which is a tax cut. When are you guys going to cut our taxes . It was such a big part of the campaign and it seems back burner at best and theres all this talk about the tea party pushing back on the administrations plans and ryans plans. Give us the scoop. What is the status of tax reform . So we want to do this right, and were not going to rush it. Were going to do it cautiously. There is quite a bit of movement going on right now in the committees in terms of what this is going to look like. Theres no doubt this is not going to be easy to do. It never is. When you think back to 1986, its took a bargain between tip oneill and ronald reagan. Look, theres concerns. Well continue to work hard on this, to do it ride, simplify the tax code on the business and personal side and reinvigorate the economy. Theres a lot of people trying to rush this process. We want to do this right, make sure its a net huge benefit for the American People. I expect positive results by the time we go home in august. Would be good to see. The sooner the better. Hard work is demanded from congress. Results are expected. Congressman, thank you for joining us as always. Any time. Defense secretary james mattis made an unannounced trip to iraq, breaking with President Trump on the idea that u. S. Should take their oil. Cnn International Correspondent ben wedeman is live in istanbul with more. What did secretary mattis say . Reporter this was before he actually arrived in bagdad, speaking to the pool reporters who are traveling with him. He said when it comes to iraqs oil, contrary to what we heard from President Trump during the campaign and after the inauguration, the United States has no designs on iraqi oil. All of us in america have generally paid for our gas and oil all along, and im sure that we will continue to do so in the future. Were not in iraq to seize anybodys oil. Reporter so this is interesting to hear from secretary mattis. Yesterday he said that the press is not the enemy of the people. Now he contradicts the president again say we have no designs on iraqi oil. Clearly hes in iraq to discuss this on going operation to drive isis out of western mosul. What weve seen so far, fairly good progress. The Iraqi Military has managed to clear isis out of about a dozen villages on the outskirts of mosul. Now theyre focusing their efforts on the airport in the southern part of the city and, of course, u. S. Troops are involved, more than 5,000 u. S. Military personnel in the country as well as u. S. Aircraft taking part in Coalition Operations against isis. Brooke . Ben, thank you very much, in istanbul.

You look at whats happening in germany, you look at whats happening last night in sweden. Sweden, who would believe this . Sweden, they took in large numbers, theyre having problems like they never thought possible. That remark stirred all kinds of reaction as no Major Incident has happened in sweden that we could find. The countrys foreign minister, carl bilt tweeted this, sweden, terror attack. What has he been smoking . Questions abound. The president explaining his comment in a tweet, quote, my statement of whats happening in sweden is a based on a story on fox news. With that let me bring in Tony Cardenas of california. Nice to see you. Good morning. How do you feel about what the president said about sweden . I feel hes just instilling fear in people, hes making up stories, not even checking the facts, but hes the president of the United States. He has the biggest megaphone perhaps in the world. Its very disturbing in this democracy we have someone being so irresponsible that hes actually trying to scare the American Public but also at the same time hes damaging relationships around the world. Sweden, who doesnt get along with sweden . We had congressman kiz zinger on who said, yes, its embarrassing. He said, yes, he would agree with you that truth matters, but its not an international incident. How would you respond . If bobby joe is going to sit on the porch drinking a beer and talking to neighbors, thats one thing. But when the president of the United States, donald trump, says what he says, interfering with the truth, that is something thats incredibly disturbing and something we should all be not just concerned about but sooner or later maybe congress should start investigating whether or not the president of the United States is actually violating laws when hes making things up and hurting our relationships. This is let me tell you something, this is going to hurt our economy, and when it hurts economies, everybody is going to be feeling it. Theyre going to be pretty upset when they realize this doesnt need to be that way. What about before i move on to immigration, congressman. We know trump and his supporters love it when he is fierce and he attacks and especially when it comes down in the media. To go as far as essentially calling the enemy of the American People, Carl Bernstein who helped break watergate wide open said that language is treacherous. Chris wallace said it crossed the line. How do you see snit. Treacherous is not the right word. I think its very dangerous. Somebody should google, look at pre
