Immigration deal. I do not trust him at all. The question now is will the majority leader honor that commitment, and i think hes under a lot of pressure to do so. A new report says fbi director wray threatened to quit. Its 100 donald trump will tell me one thing thats wrong. I dont get it. We want to welcome our viewers in the United States and around the world. This is new day. January 23rd, 6 00 in new york. Heres our starting line. The shutdown is over for now. President trump signed a shortterm spending bill reopening the u. S. Government. Hundreds of thousands of federal employees head back to work after their threeday hiatus. The senate will negotiate in the coming weeks. They now face backlash from their liberal members. So what concession did democrats get to end the stalemate . They got a deal to make a deal maybe. The truth is the dems got spooked and the gop got a boost because the division that leads to a political shutdown is currency for them. They only funded the government for 16 days, meaning were only that far away from more brinksmanship. The president s position for d. R. E. A. M. Ers has put out that ad that makes them all look like terrorists. So is there a basis to trust he wont play his base and give them the minimums when it comes to d. R. E. A. M. Ers. Bombshell report. Fbi director Christopher Wray threatened to resign because he felt pressured by the president. This is another case of president overreach. We have it all. What do we know . Well, good morning, chris. The government is back in business this morning after President Trump signed a shortterm spending bill here at the white house late last night. But theres little to suggest why the dynamics have changed. Lawmakers could be set for another showdown in just three weeks. President trump touting the end of the Government Shutdown as a big win for republicans. In signaling a willingness to broker a deal on d. R. E. A. M. Ers and border treaty, tweeting, see you at the negotiating table. Hes eager to rebut criticism that he did little to help end the shutdown. The great dealmaking president sat on the sidelines. Aides say mr. Trumps low profile was intentional, the white house insisting the president had an impact, but offering little clarity about mr. Trumps position about the path forward for d. R. E. A. M. Ers. Status versus pathway to citizenship or does that not matter to the president . I think thats part of the negotiating process. Right now we want a permanent solution for the program. The chairman telling cnn mr. Trump is key to any Immigration Solution succeeding in the house. His role will be an important one, and i expect that well be hearing from him early and often now once the discussions get under way. Sources tell cnn the deal to reopen the government was due in part to Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell to hold a vote on immigration in the coming weeks. But minority leader schumer including the 16 democrats that voted against the shortterm resolution. I do not trust him at all. He has promised Lindsey Graham and Susan Collins, jeff flake, make promises and commitments he had not honored. Distrust in washington is nothing new. It now extends to the fbi given President Trumps public war with the top Law Enforcement agency. The fbi director Christopher Wray threatened to resign after feeling pressured by Jeff Sessions. President trump has repeatedly targeted mccabe over his handling of the Hillary Clinton investigation. Suggesting mccabe is bias and questioning why sessions has not replaced him, the white house insisting in a statement the president supports director wray but saying theyve tainted the fbis reputation. Now, chris, its worth noting the president actually interviewed Christopher Wray to be the fbi director back in may. We will see that. You can bet hell be asked about all of this, chris. Appreciate it. What happens next . The two sides pressed pause. What happens when they press play . We have a panel thats going to take on the issue of whether they want to create a path to citizenship for d. R. E. A. M. Ers, or will we be right back here or this time will the democrats be on the verge of giving trump his wall . We discuss next. With just one. Aleve. All day strong. The commute is worth it. Me, the more you know you and that john deere tractor. You can keep dreaming up projects all the way home. Its a longer drive. But just like a john deere, its worth it. President trump taking a victory lap as more than 30 Democratic Senators joined republicans over a threeday shutdown. Lets bring in reporter and editor at large and analyst. Great to have both of you. What changed yesterday from friday that allowed democrats to get on board and stop the Government Shutdown. I think the reality of the shutdown resonating with the american people, people werent buying the democrats position. The exit ramp became really unclear. The deal came, look, can we live to fight another day, can we take Health Insurance off the table and call that a win and trust mcconnell, big if. Its gamble on all sides. But for moderates, it was a way to support it. Italians would say they got the nervous stomach. But now theyre getting beaten up by the base and i dont know what the gop lost on this other than giving it a short window. They havent made any real promise do anything on dreamers. This is just a deal to make a deal. Chuck schumer said yesterday, you know, weve now extracted a promise for Mitch Mcconnell. He said, i must have missed the memo. Again, mcconnells intention was not, we will have this vote on x day on daca. Now, lets say bestcase scenario mcconnell is good to his word. Hes made a great highprofile play. It passes. They find something that passes. Well, the House Republicans didnt make any deal with Senate Democrats and neither did President Trump. That to me is the problem. If all you needed to do was pass something through the senate for it to become law, this isnt a terrible deal for Senate Democrats because youre depending on mcconnell and trusting him. Thats only onethird of the piece of the puzzle. So were back here in exactly 16 days . Mark your calendar. Start the countdown clock right now. The anxiety will rise if they dont have a deal. They cant do what they always do which is the only way to get anything done is wait until the last minute and hope the Pressure Forces compromise. This is an anticipatable problem. This is something where theres been an outline of a big deal. Maybe they can i think youre right. Crying wolf wont work as well next time. No. Its fine. The government shuts down, and they figure it out three days later. To chriss point, the house didnt sign onto this deal, thats a real problem. The far weleft is furious. There are folks furious about this. But if they can take that outline of grand bargain on the deal they had where Border Security gets funded, the drooerms get legal status if not citizenship thats the problem. The certainty is on the side of what the republicans want. You said some degree of protection for d. R. E. A. M. Ers. If youre a d. R. E. A. M. E, that aint putting you to sleep tonight. I have not heard that word come out of a gop mouth, certainly not from the president , chris. He ended this. He created a date certain. He said he wanted to help them. He said bill of love and then turned around and put out an ad and say theyre altherr rifts. Sarah Huckabee Sanders refused to say when asked repeatedly. There you go. Theres a commitment . Not the case. The other part of this is Donald Trumps unpredictability. Exactly. Hes saying lets do comprehensive. Well get daca done easily. Then we have the thursday meeting, the tweets, tweets this morning where he says lets get to the negotiating. They cant say because they dont know. Its all over the place. You need a president to if not engage in the nittygritty, you need a president to say were pushing in this broad direction and not change that direction 180 degrees two days later. Do you . Well talk about that in a moment. John, chris, stick around. Please stay with us. Well look at the winners and losers of the Government Shutdown next. Plus the bombshell report on Christopher Wray threatening to quit because he felt threatened to fire his deputy. What was that about. Well talk about that too. vo pro plan bright mind adult 7 promotes alertness and mental sharpness in dogs 7 and older. ray the difference has been incredible. She is much more aware.

The Government Shutdown is overish because well be back here in two weeks, but as the dust settles, who came out of this on the top, the bottom, and sideways. Lets welcome back Chris Cillizza and john avlon. Chris, what have you government first . I think Mitch Mcconnell wins here. Frankly, we talked in the last segment, im not totally sure what democrats got here. C. H. I. P. Was already on the table when Chuck Schumer said, you know, we cant sep this, were not going to accept the threeweek shutdown, we need a threeweek continuing resolution, we need more. I really dont understand what more they got. Schumer, by the way, mademy losers list. And i dont think Lindsey Graham, joe manchin, and Susan Collins get in the Winners Circle for a certain reason. These people willing to get together in a relatively large group actually, 25 senators, and say lets figure it out. You saw dick durbin, the Senate Ranking democrat come out and say this is a model for what we can do going forward. I think that would be great. I dont know if thats true, right . John made this point in the last segment. Theyre like a kid in college. They only do things when its due the next day. Sometimes they do it after its due. So i dont know that theres going to be this new Bipartisan Coalition on everything going forward. But at least amis, keep hope alive. I want to put up your winners again. This is who chris thinks are the winners, Mitch Mcconnell, Lindsey Graham, 2018 democrats, moderates, and davos. When is davos not celebrating with a canape. Look, its true. Red states facing tough reelections. A protracted shutdown would have been bad for them. And democrats on the far left can protest all they want, but theyve got to win beyond their base. Thats the only path to a real majority. They were looking at the numbers and saw it was a bad deal. Im going to migrate now. They get the benefit of President Trump, minus the first lady and a large entourage. Look. I dont think they have to worry about this. Look, yes. Donald trump, either you like him or dont like him. He brings a whole heck of a lot of eyeballs. The first lady saying theres a scheduling problem and no longer attending, which is a loss for switzerland. I did not know that when i wrote it. Well, theres a good defense. If were going to delve into the external personalities, what do you make about the common law alleged lawsuit on the settlement with Stormy Daniels, the 140 grand, that that was a contribution in kind to the campaign and theyre suing about it. Its an interesting way to go about it. Weve seen it before, right . Yes, we have. John edwards, real hunter . And scuttled his campaign. Yes. This is the dichs, the different world were now in . The legal dynamic. Look. Lets pursue this by any means necessary. As bill kristol tweeted who among us hasnt paid off an llc right before a president ial election. To add to johns point, look. Mike pence yesterday abroad said this is a false baseless. There was never any sexual relationship between the two of them. Why did 130,000 go from President Trump to Stormy Daniels in around llc that was set up to disguise both of their entities . Presumably donald trump didnt get rich by giving out 30,000. What is that for . I think you have to have an explanation. If the common cause is getting an explanation why was his lawyer giving out sixfigure amounts to a porn star. I feel bad for the Vice President who on higgs world tour is forced to say its a baseless claim because the payoff itself is evidence that its real folks, whatever you want to deny it. Thank you very much for that spirited debate. Coming up on new day well talk with Mick Mulvaney and others. Were also going to dig into what is next in this battle. Tonight at 9 00 p. M. Primetime eastern, well take you through all the different options, where they come out well and where not so much. A new report revealing President Trump is attempting to meddle with the fbi.

Axios is reporting that fbi director Christopher Wray threatened to quit because he felt pressured by attorney general Jeff Sessions and President Trump to fire the fbis Deputy DirectorAndrew Mccabe. Joining us to talk about all of this and more phil mudd and cnn chief analyst jeffrey toobin. Let me start with you. If he has made a frequent target, if they and ag sessions think that Andrew Mccabe is a partisan who lets other partisans have Text Messages about why they want to bring down trump, why wouldnt they want to pressure him to get rid of an drew mccabe. The question is does the fbi director work for the american people, have independence, or is he an employee like the secretary of education, secretary of the interior . Is there Something Different about the fbi director . Traditionally one reason they had tenyear terms, theyre supposed to be independent, theyre supposed to operate with more of an interest in the law. Obviously President Trump thinks that the fbi director should be loyal to him. Thats why he fired fbi director comey. You always have a layer thats relevant. This was attorney general Jeff Sessions reportedly getting involved with this when hes supposed to be recused from all things russia investigation. How does it smell to you . Doesnt smell too good. If youre the fbi director, you had no option but to do this. If youre sitting in hoover headquarters on Pennsylvania Ave you i worked there for 4 1 2 years and the attorney general comes down and says i dont like one of your employees because he has i think, because i dont have any evidence that Andrew Mccabe is biased i think Andrew Mccabe is biased, you cant not investigate it because people dont like the political smell of it. If you enter the fbi, what do you do . If youre a republican, you cant participate in the investigation of Hillary Clinton. If youre a democrat, you cant participate in the investigation of President Trump. How do we know hes a democrat . Because his wife ran a democratic ticket . It doesnt tell me much.
