Lawyers dont do that. They dont do that with their own money. Did mr. Trump know about the negotiation of this agreement . Did he know about the payment . Did he sign the documents . Reporter facetoface talks between President Trump and kim jongun. The president will not have the meeting without seeing concrete steps and concrete actions. The nra is suing to block a new gun law signed by Florida Governor rick scott. Governor scott is trying to look like hes taking a step in the opposite direction of the nra. Panic at a Mental Health facility. Youre scared. Very anxious. Reporter investigators say a person armed with a rifle shot at deputies before taking three hostages. This is new day weekend with Victor Blackwell and christi paul. Good morning to you. 7 01 is the time. This morning, another twist in the Stormy Daniels saga. We know President Trumps personal Attorney Michael Cohen used his official Trump Organization email and signature while arranging that 130,000 payment to keep the porn star quiet about an alleged affair between herself and mr. Trump. Stormy, whose real name is stephanie clifford, spoke with cnn last night and sort of addressed the issue. I think its pretty clear that with the new developments comes new interest. Nick valencia is live in ft. Lauderdale where stormy just made a stop on her tour. Im going to leave the name of the tour to you this morning, nick. What is stormy saying . Reporter according to her team, we should start there, this is not her idea to have this tour. This is part of a regular dance performance that shes already scheduled. The clubs have a different take on that. Here last night, we came down to see her first Live Performance since she filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court over this nondisclosure agreement which she says is now null and void because the president of the united states, the man shes accused of having an alleged affair with, did not sign that document. Now she performed in front of about 200 people last night, and we did not think in fact, we were told explicitly she would not be talking to the media. After that, she had a meet and greet and agreed to an interview. She didnt want to talk about the litigation and had no comment for the president , but she talked about how the alleged affair with the president is affecting her. Sort of in a doubleedged sword where a lot of people are interested in booking me for dancing. So im getting more dance bookings. I usually only dance once a month. Now im dancing three or four times a month. So thats been great. But because of that, its sort of overshadowing all of the adult films that im supposed to be promoting. A lot of the mainstream projects i was working on have been indefinitely put on hold. Reporter daniels gives the interview less than 24 hours after we learned that Michael Cohen, personal attorney of the president , used his personal email to communicate with Stormy Daniels attorney. Michael cohen saying this is not a blockbuster development. He used his professional email address to communicate for personal reasons all the time and released a statementing, ill read part of that, saying, the use of my Company Email to communicate with the bank and ms. Cliffords former counsel proves absolutely nothing despite the lessthanconvinced arguments offered by her former attorney. I used this email address for virtually everything, as many people do. The attorney for ms. Daniels is saying this is not the case, calling his bluff, calling mr. Cohens bluff, saying that this is further proof that he wasnt acting in a personal capacity or in a freelance capacity, but rather an official one for the president. If in fact the payment was being made personally by attorney cohen, he wouldnt need his office open in order to effectuate the payment. Reporter theres a lot of anxiety, were told, in the white house that this story is beginning to overshadow the daytoday operations of the president. For her part, ms. Stormy daniels is scheduled to perform here at the solid gold Gentlemens Club here in Pompano Beach later today. The story showing no signs of going away any time soon. Nick valencia for us in ft. Lauderdale. The details of this story, i we were supposed to say the name of the tour i couldnt believe you didnt do it i couldnt say it. So many tawdry elements of what is happening test some of the bounds that we have for ourselves. It does. We came in and said, this is what were talking about. Will we stay or not this is what were talking about. Lets get to mark Senior Analyst and senior White House Correspondent for bloomberg news. Thank you very much for being here. How potential at the end of the day dangerous is this for President Trump, for his policy, for his you know, plans for himself in the white house and the the policy that he wants to get done . Reporter yeah, i mean, i think you have to look at it on at least a couple of levels. One is the legal liability to President Trump, to his lawyer, to the campaign, and whether that opens him up to anything from depositions to, again, some sort of liability. But then on the other hand, you have the political side of this which is what is the impact going to be, does this erode any of his standing or support from evangelicals. So far theyve held firmly behind him because of his willingness to pursue policies from antiabortion legislation or policies to support judicial nominees. Does this erode that at all . Does it erode the president s support from mainstream republicans who control the two chambers of commerce. Also it is potentially a a distraction from trying to get tax policy done, infrastructure work done. The Foreign Policy machinations. And could it come in in way to Robert Muellers investigation . I think thats kind of the next trench of questions. At least twice yesterday by my count, Sarah Huckabee sanders said she had spoke ben this extens spoken about this extensively and didnt have anything to add. Clean air considering considering what speed this is growing, is that tenable . And unusual that the president has not talked about this on twitter for something thats become such a major issue. Reporter it wasnt the most for forthcoming answer but probably best answer for now. The last time the press secretary tried to talk about this from the podium she opened the president up to more exposure, that was the acknowledgment about the arbitration proceedings. So sounds like the lesson and takeaway for the president s press team at this moment is dont try to fuel the spectacle. Its not going to stop the questions from coming, and more importantly, its not going to stop whatever the theoretical legal and Campaign Issues are that may be kind of moving along behind the scenes. The cardinals rule on this is if if you dont have enough information to talk about it from the podium, dont talk about it from the podium. All right. I want to move on to another issue thats come up. The letter from President Trump to president putin back in 2013 inviting president putin to the pageant that that President Trump, then citizen trump, of course, was having, the Miss Universe pageant was in russia. Not unusual, would you think really, though, at the end of the day for a businessman of his stature to reach out to somebody, a leader in other country, and invite them . Yes, no . Reporter well, in the context of donald trump 2013 businessman, the letter makes a lot of sense and isnt particularly surprising. In the context of President Trump, 14 months into office and ensconced in the probe that involves looking at his relationship with russians, the context becomes more complicated. And so this is yet another piece of information that the special Prosecutors Team can look at to try to understand the threads and connections between now the president and his associates and president putin and his associates. Let me ask you about this reporting from gabe sherman in vanity fair. A source saying a republican with frequent contact with the white house says that President Trump now is in command, has been on the job for more than a year. He now has the power to work and doesnt give an expletive there trump decision to circumvent the policy process. Imposed tariffs on aluminum, steel, and emboldened his power to desire to follow impulses and defy advisers. It was like a fyou, kelly. A trump friend said. With the unaccepted unacceptance from kim jongun and the tariffs. Could we see shifts in the staff around him . Reporter well, its right to see that the pendulum has swung a bit. Part of this has to do with the departure of rob porter as the staff secretary, the gatekeeper on the flow of a lot of information. And also some of this has to did with now the impending departure of gary cohen. The president has a number of these Campaign Promises that he wants to fulfill and a number. Instincts about Foreign Policy and north korea that hes been thinking about for a while. I interviewed him, a colleague and i interviewed him last may, not even a year. At that time he was saying he was open to talking directly with kim. At that time, his staff clarified, well, under circumstances, none of which have been met yet. I think president was speaking from the gut at that time. And for the past year has been thinking about should he talk directly with kim, could that make a difference. You are seeing him take matters into his own hands. On the one hand, hes the commander in chief. He is the ultimate decider, and he should be the one who decides what to do. On the other hand, he has gone a lot of times by his staff. When he makes announcements, sometimes in this case, theres not much warning. And everyone else who is there to try to support him and stand up, these things in method cal fashion, has to figure out, wow, can we be ready to do this in two months . A lot of confusion. We appreciate your insight. Thank you. Reporter thank you. So in other news this morning here, three women are dead after a hostage standoff at a Veterans Home in yountville, california. The shooter was found dead, had been suffering from ptsd and been treated at home. Lets bring in cnns dan simon. Dan, good morning. What else do you know . Reporter good morning. Investigators are trying to figure out what caused this decorated war veteran to barricade himself with three hostages, murder them, and then apparently take his own life. This happening on the campus of the nations largest Veterans Home, specifically at a center that helps veterans deal with the trauma of war. Tragedy at the Veterans Home of california in yountville. Three women hostages and a gunman dead. The nearly eighthour standoff with police apparently started when the suspect barged into a goingaway party. We were having cake and toasting. Apparently he just walked in with this this rifle. Reporter the three victims were employees of the pathway home, a Counseling Service for veterans located on the campus of the nations largest Veterans Home. They helped veterans who suffered with ptsd, post Traumatic Stress disorder. Tragic news, one we were hoping we wouldnt have to come before the public to give. Reporter the victims identified as 42yearold jennifer galog, pathway clinical director. 48yearold christine lober, executive director, and 29yearold jennifer gonzalez, a clinical psychologist. In a statement, pathway said the brave women were accomplished professionals who dedicated their careers to serving our nations veterans. Three wolf, professional three wonderful, professional, talented young women who get up every morning and go to work to help veterans. Sadly, theyre gone. Reporter the gunmans identified as 36yearold albert wong from sacramento. Police say wong, who had served in the military, was a former Program Participant at the pathway house. He left two weeks ago. Early in the standoff, wong and officers fired at each other. After the building was put in lockdown, hostage negotiators spent hours trying to make contact. It was just a lot of the residents were like just they were calm, they didnt know what what to expect or anything like that. I was thinking of wanting to go home to my son. Reporter that the gunman was deployed in afghanistan in 2011. He served for about a year in afghanistan, had a clean military record. Had been awarded four medals including a good con detecti detectidetective conduct medal. What ultimately caused him to come to the pathway home where he had been receiving treatment for his ptsd and target these three hostages we dont know. Of course, investigators are trying to determine ultimately what caused all of this. All right. Dan simon there in yountsville, thank you. Thank you. A making between President Trump and kim jongun.

President trump says his meeting with kim jongun, it is still happening even though his press secretary said it would not happen without concrete actions. Sarah sanders said a promise to freeze Nuclear Tests is not enough. The understanding, the message from the south korean delegation is that they would denucleari denuclearize. Weve accepted the invitation to talk based on them following through with concrete actions on the promises that theyve made. After sanders said that, the president tweeted this, the deal with north korea is very much in the making and will be if completed a very good one for the world. Time and place to be determined. Joining us, senior fellow at the u. S. Korea institute at johns hopkins. He was involved in north korea negotiations with the state department during the 1990s. Thank you very much for being here. We appreciate it. Thank you. What do you believe will happen with these talks . Do you think north korea has any intention of agreeing to some sort of precondition . I think the naeorth koreans have already agreed to our preconditions. Weve been saying for some time that they have to stop nuclear testing, stop missile testing, and commit to negotiate about denuclearization. So theyve met that requirement already. So i want you to listen to this exchange in a press briefing yesterday in which there was this question about preconditions, and special denuclearization. Watch this. Promised the denuclearize, did they promise to denuclearize or promise to talk about denuclearizing . The understanding, the message from the south korean delegation is that they would denuclearize, and that is what our ultimate goal has always been, and that will have to be part of the actions that we see them take. We have to see concrete and verifiable actions take place. Isnt yes . So if theyve agreed to denuclearize before the meeting, what is the meeting about . How much of this, does the u. S. , need to see before the discussion, and then can you give us what i guess sarah didnt define yesterday, the definition of denuclearize totally from the u. S. Perspective . Well, look, were talking about the concept of denuclearization, and that will be a longterm process. It cant happen overnight. The North Koreans
