Trade deficit he is trying to close. Karen, it is a pivot to get away from the fact that secretary clinton had no message and ran a terrible campaign. President trump sttapped into something special. Miller, thats that. That was a good conversation. Thats why i left it alone. Karen, ja jason, thank you. Thanks to the International Viewers for watching. Cnn newsroom is next for you. For u. S. Viewers, we will look at the cases with experts and try to explain the outcome. New day gets after it right now. I was on the way to winning until jim comeys letter. President trump firing back even slamming his fbi director. Im back to being an activist citizen and part of the resistance. If they knew Michael Flynn was maleable, why didnt they give us a heads up . I think its time now. I dont think it is as good as it needs to be. We are making Good Progress. The democrats are trying to claim victory. It is unusual for one group to walk out. We are not ready to draw any red lines in the sand. This is new day with chris cuomo and alisyn camerota. Good morning. Welcome to new day. Hours after Hillary Clinton blamed some of her loss on sexism, russia and fbi, these comments come as fbi director james comey is expected to face tough questions from Senate Democrats about his role in the final day of the race. And the tweets by President Trump calling out comey for doing clinton a favor. We contradict the Trump White House surrounding Michael Flynn. Sally yates will testify next week. All of this is happening as the president is personally pushing house members to vote on a new Health Care Plan this week. We have it all covered for you. Lets start with joe johns at the white house. Reporter good morning, chris. Back at it. Hillary clinton and donald trump six months after the election now going after each other again as another key player once again Takes Center Stage on capitol hill. President trump firing back at Hillary Clinton after her scathing indictment of the 2016 race. Insisting that fbi director james comey influenced voters. I was on the way to winning until the combination of jim comeys letter on october 28th and russia wikileaks raised doubts in the minds of people who were inclined to vote for me, but got scared off. If the election were on october 27th, id be your president. Reporter the president responding in a series of late night tweets. Slamming his own fbi director. Fbi director comey was the best thing that ever happened to Hillary Clinton in that he gave her a free pass for many bad deeds. The phony trump russia story was an excuse used by the democrats as justification for losing the election. Perhaps donald trump just ran a name campaign. This response coming hours after clinton took a jab at the president s sore spots. I did win more than 3 million votes than my opponent. I feel a tweet coming. Fine. Bertha than interfering in foreign affairs. If he wants to tweet about me, im happy to be the difficuvers. Reporter comey expected to testify at the hearing over the influences on the campaign. Hillary clinton blaming comeys letter to congress about the email server and the hacking of emails of her campaign. He certainly interfered in our election. It was clear he interfered to hurt me and help my opponent. Reporter acknowledging some ownership for defeat. I take responsibility. I was the candidate. I was the person who was on the ballot. Reporter and now vowing to speak out against her former rival. Im now back to being an activist citizen and part of the resistance. Reporter all this as sources tell cnn that former acting attorney general sally yates will testify next week that she forcefully warned the Trump White House in january that then National Security adviser Michael Flynn lied about the sanctions over the russian ambassador. Contradicting the white house version of events. They wanted to give quote a heads up to us on comments that may have seemed in conflict with what he sent the Vice President. Reporter yates testimony likely to raise further questions about why it took the Administration Nearly three weeks to fire flynn. A decision that was ultimately made on the same day the story was reported in the Washington Post. The other big headline this morning is that telephone call mostly about syria and north korea between Vladimir Putin and President Trump. Both sides now looking ahead of course to the g20 summit in germany. The first facetoface meeting. Today, the president will host abbas. Thank you, joe johns. We bring in our panel. Jackie kucinich and we have jeff zeleny. Jeff, what was your reaction to the candor and designation of responsibility by clinton . She accepted responsibility probably more than she ever has in a public setting for the last six months. It still does not necessarily sound like she actually believes it. Still does not necessarily believes that is why she actually was not successful. She did not talk about the email server. She didnt talk about paid speeches. She didnt talk about missing the mood of the country. Beyond that, she said look, since i was at the center of this, i accept responsibility. She promises to write more about that. The whole point is why now . I talked to a top confidant of hers. She is not running for anything. She is just not hiding anymore. With that frame in mind, she wants to be back in the conversation. The question is for democrats and others is are they ready for her or interested in her coming back . Thats a very mixed answer. Jackie, she is literally out of the woods now. She even said that. The frustrating thing about this conversation and the conversation with christiane yesterday is the comey factor is unknown. Certainly that letter did something. It was a bombshell when he sent that letter to congress. It is hard to know in your private voting booth which one swayed you most. Exactly. When you get down dototo it, reason comey was sending letters was due to the private server. It goes back to her decision at the end of the day. This should have been built in anyway. She should have had more distance between herself and trump. What was her message on the economy . What was she telling people she was going to do on a regular basis . That wasnt as jeff said the mood of the country. There were other factors here. She did not address. You have relevance and percentage of things. Of course, the comey letter mattered. Everything she delineates mattered. You cant find a democrat to say it should not have been that close. You have that and you have the equal and opposite reaction from the president. Was it right for him to take this bait and what did you make of the response to the bait . As of last night. Yes. His decision to tweet. Yes. In the white house. Reliving an election he already won. He has no filter on him. He continues to show he continues to play in the sand box when he runs the elementary school. He won the election. I dont understand why President Trump continues to engage in this. He won the election and in other things. It is troubling, frankly, that he decides and continues to decide after the first 100 days, we talk about the lessons. One lesson he hasnt learned is words really do matter and actions matter. When he does Something Like he did last night when he said comey was the best thing to ever happen to her. It is ridiculous. A waste of time. He disrespected a sitting fbi head. I didnt go that far. He talked to Vladimir Putin yesterday. He has a big meeting today. He is worried about the election. Lets read that again for everybody in case you missed. It fbi director comey gave her a free pass for many bad deeds. The phony russia story was an excuse for justification for losing the election. Perhaps trump just ran a great campaign. Part of why this is relevant is james comey is going to congress and he will be asked more questions about the russia meddling and alleged ties to the trump team. What do we think will happen with james comey on the hill . The president can say it is a fake investigation and all he wants. The reality is there are multiple investigations still going on about the election. You know, he is free to talk about that. Whats going to happen on capitol hill today, james comey once again will be front and center talking about how this administration and people from this orbit were potentially in conversation or can hoohoots wie campaign. There is not much evidence of that at all. This is an ongoing thing. Members of the Senate Intelligence committee are saying this is likely to go all year long here. This is going to be a dual soundtrack to the first year of the donald Trump Presidency here. His own fbi director will be on the capitol hill talking about how real this is. You cant blame these candidates for not being able to let go. We are still litigating parts of it in every day on the hill talking about russia. Were not passing out the overlays of the electoral map like trump is to reporters. It is only 1,281 days until the next one. Apparently we dont run enough. It is forgivable that neither is still done litigating this. Clinton can talk about it all she wants. That is the end for her. He is the president of the United States and he takes the bait and does it in a way where he compromises investigations and bashes his fbi head. That matters more than what Hillary Clinton thinks. I dont disagree. When you look at the russia investigation as a whole time of question of his legitimacy of his election. He cannot let that go. It seems like that. It is about him. It is not about it does, but it doesnt seem to have to do with the system. The system by which we elect president ial leaders. The fact they got into that. He doesnt talk about that as much as he talks about the russia thing is fake and democrats are trying to attack him. To the broader scope of whats going on here and the criticism we take in the media for being critical of President Trump. We want him to succeed. If he succeeds, the country succeeds. Everybody succeeds. When you see him act this way, he has to be called out on it. He is the president of the United States. He has bigger things on his plate. Hillary clinton can walk in the woods and opine about why she should have won or didnt win. The fact of the matter is, President Trump needs to focus on whats in front of him and not what is behind him. That is the most frustrating. At least, jeff, given some cover to the stunt with mulvaney. He came out with pictures and pointing at the wall and saying whats this . Were actually building the wall. What is that about . How is that productive . The white house was furious yesterday by the fact that democrats seemed to actually have won at least the messaging argument in washington over spending. The temporary spending bill that is going to avoid a shutdown this week does not have a lot of president s priorities in it. The white house was not necessarily thrilled by that. The president was getting an earful because of reports, accurate ones, that says his border wall is not funded. There is money for Border Security, but not actually build that new wall. Not what mulvaney said. They are bolstering. This is why it is confusing. That is the old wall. He said what is this . It is going on right now. We heard april ryan they are hammering things on there. The pictures come from new mexico in january. They are old photographs. The white house later conceded that. He was showing an example of yes there are enhancements made to Current Border security. It is not accurate to say the new wall is being built. The money is not there for it. The idea that the omb head pointed at pictures and made this bogus point is a reflection of the state of play. It is good to know it is new mexico. David gregory thought it may be ohio. Thank you for that reporting. Not yet. Thank you for everything. Republicans are scrambling for votes needed to pass the Health Care Reform plan this week. At the moment, it looks like an uphill battle. The latest whip count shows 22 House Republicans plan to vote no.

When you heard in the last 48 hours about the deal, did you think we could build this . Reporter mulvaney attempting to portray fixing and replacing existing fencing as a win for the administration.
