Forced out over Domestic Abuse allegations. Kelly said he has nothing to even consider resigning over, even over a growing controversy over White House Security clearances. Strayed wars. A day after sending World Markets into a tail spin, President Trump said trade wars are good. Will merge products be targeted for retaliation . Angering his allies. The president s position on trade, guns, and even his own
attorney general are angering his allies. Does he risk losing key advisers . And powerful supporters in zmong and russian sedructress. She can provide the missing pieces. Youre in the situation room. Breaking news, President Trump has arrived at his florida retreat. He cant he is came the chaos hes been creating in washington. Chief of staff john kelly is caught up in the controversy but says wont be joining the growing number of advisers leaving the white house, even as he acknowledges deficiency theres in the handling of Security Clearances and classified materials. Ill speak with michael heyden, the formerer director of the cia and nsa. And our specialists are all standing by. First straight to our chief white house correspondent, jim acosta. The president is in florida, in palm beach. He seemingly cant get away from the problems at the white house. Thats right. Trade wars, staff wars, they go on and on. Chief of staff john kelly left staffers puzzled when he tried to relitigate the troubles at the white house in the rob porter scandal. One official said it was odd for kelly to res direct controversy and theres more chaos on the policy side as President Trump is doubling down, inviting a trade war that even some Administration Officials are acknowledging it will cost americans more money to guy products they need. When President Trump stepped away from the white house, he left behind an administration that is by many accounts, in utter turmoil. His Chief Of Staff reignited the discussion over rob porter who was ousted last month over charges of Domestic Abuse. Kelly. I have nothing to even consider resigning over. He admitted to reporters that glowing statements from the white house praising port he, as the staff secretary were stepping down, were a mistake. Kelly tried clean up the time line of the staff saga insisting he only learned of red flags february 6 willth. That they were aware of it last november. He attempted to explain it saying the first accusation had to do with a messy divorce but no mention of physical abuse. And he said that is insulting to anyone suffering in an abusive situation now. Emotional and psychological us
into abuse. Not to mention someone out of a shower is physical. The president is face go growing criticism over the sudden announcement of the tariffs on steel. Mr. Trumps response, trade wars are good and easy to win. We win big. Its easy. The Wall Street Journal is not buying it saying, donald trump made the biggest Policy Blunder of his presidency. When asked about predictions that Consumer Costs will go up, he brought out a can of soup. Lets put in it perspective. I just bought can of campbells soup. It was 1. 99 for the can. Theres about 3 cents worth of tin plate steel in this can. So if it goes up 25 , thats a tiny fraction of 1 penny. But the president s view on tariffs have been known for decades, like his colorful
warning to china. Listen, you [ bleep ]. Democrats say this is exactly the kind of chaotic presidency both parties warned about. Ive served under six administrations. Ive never seen such chaos. Who knows what hell do on trade tomorrow morning. They say that the National Security adviser could leave the white house in the near future. General mcmaster is not going anywhere. If this is chaos, i think the American People are glad for it. If they want to call it chaos, fine. We call it success. Not the moengs the ever changing position gun control. The president met with the nra and tweeted, good, great meeting in the oval office twonlt the nra. Raising questions that whether the president still supports confiscating guns without due process. As you said earlier in the week of the will. He is looking for ways we can improve the Mental Health system so we can take guns away from
staff like Jared Kushner. Republicans want some answers too. Trey gowdy has issued a very detailed question. Now gowdy and the top democrat Elijah Cummings want to know exactly when they became aware of Disqualifying Information Involving Rob Porter with a detailed time line of the background investigation. Despite the wednesday deadline for this information, im told the white house has not yet provided this information to the committee. The office did say they home they get information soon. But this week sanders made no commitments. And theres significant scrutiny on the senate side. Chuck grassly has joined the
second category. No sense of guilt or Character Flaws in the part of the young man. But there could be circumstances. Ive been part of this. Sometimes we denial it to people had are good but there are vulnerability theres. At least at the theoretical level that we didnt want to embrace. So yes, that could be part of it. So the interim top secret Security Clearances. That has been downgraded from top secret to secret. It is on the agenda with these restricted Security Clearances. In my view, if secret means secret, and were not allowing some wink, wink, nudge, nudge. The standards were not in place when this new administration came into being. They didnt have the standards and as a result, you have dozens and dozens of officials who couldnt get top secret clearances. This was an incoming feel didnt have a great deal of regard for norms. There are norms, through lessons lermd, if you dont do it that way youre really increasing the odds things will happen. In case of mr. Kushner. We jumped over norms with regard to nepotism Torsion Divestment of interest. We jumped over norms with regard to his Security Clearance and look where we are now. A lot of reports including our own reporting that mcmaster could be out at the end of the month. We all know it has happened to michael flynn. This turnover, how does it impact National Security . It cant be good. What were seeing is were seeing this story appear on about a 30day sine wave. And i think thats a reflection. I think it might be a problem. The problem is process. Unless your National Security adviser is brent scowcroft, it is your process guy. He is the one who imposes order and discipline and sequence. And he dislikes all of those virtues. So i think we see this recurring every three to four weeks and it
will recur even if hr leaves. This week putin delivered a major speech and showed a lot of video for what he describe as invincible Nuclear Weapons in florida. The president stays silent when it comes to putin. Why . I dont know why. I dont know why. Ill suggest one reason. I think no matter what the circumstances are, there has become a thing for him. You and i and others have talked about this going back to the campaign. This is a stubborn mannest
should have been criticizing vladimir. On the actual substance, putin was taunting him. The correct response for an american president to someone like putin is to be quiet. That was the right answer. I wish that he had answer for some of the other taunting that weve seen. General, thank you for coming in. Up next, more on Vladimir Putins taunting of the United States military. And maybe trying to frighten americans with his new boasts of invincible new nuclear missiles. And described as the missing puzzle pieces in exchange for helping get out of a prison in thailand.

Taking amiodarone with harvoni can cause a serious slowing of your heart rate. Common side effects of harvoni include tiredness, headache and weakness. Ready to let go of hep c . Ask your hep c specialist about harvoni. Soninlaw. Is this weird enough . Is this like the strangest story . It just illustrates the problem of nepotism. You cant treat your relatives like they are regular employees. And this crazy roundabout way of trying to get rid of them. This is pretty. Linked to the investigations going on including the Security Clearances controversy that has erupted. Why are they twlork at all without Security Clearances . Jeff is right. I mean, two things going on. The Nepotism Piece and then that you have people who are operate go under interim Security Clearance. I know we focus with rob porter, the now former white house staff secretary. We focus the allegations of Domestic Abuse and rightly so. But theres another giant story
there. Which is this is the person who is literally, here you go, mr. President. He was handling top secret classified information on an interim Security Clearance. And they knew there were issues. Not because of the issues. You have it with Jared Kushner. If you ask who he is closest t. , the former director of the National Security agency, he said, Jared Kushner dealing with these sensitive issues in the middle east or china or mexico, he has no business if he cant get top secret Security Clearance. Just secret isnt going to do it. I cannot remember a single
National Security meeting at that level. We have Jared Kushner handling highly classified portfolios, like israel. The israelis are coming into town this weekend. When he is going in with information at a secret level, meaning he dth doesnt have the whole picture or he is going on abuse the system. And he has bias. There are major conflicts of interest. He has a bias and not a bias toward National Security. It looks like a business of impropriety. We dont know that. The whole notion of the Security Clearances, so significant right now. Especially when the president , as we know, he has relied on his family members, his Close Friends sore so much assistance. He has. And because of these issues, you see president. This is someone we know, from
what weve seen in the white house, he values loyalty to a fault. Thats yes surrounded himself with family members, people like hope hicks who came to the white house with him and is now leaving. Thats why you see there president , he is more and more alone now than he has ever been. And those who he relies on, they could be out too, because of the Security Clearance. It is incremental. Not exponential. At the same time, the number of people that he can trust, even if he can rely Jared Kushner and ivanka, they cant focus just what President Trump feels is most important which of course is donald trump.

General mcmaster is apparently leaving as National Security adviser before the end of the month. Is it at all concerning to you, this turnover continues on sensitive National Security issues . When you think about the russians want to undermine our
institutions, all of these are Golden Tickets for putin. Why would mcmaster want to stay . National Security Policy is not being made. He and his team are working. It is being made from trumps bedroom when he goes on a twitter storm. So the incentive, working long hours, not getting paid a lot. Big pressure from big business, from the editorial pages from the Wall Street Journal for his decision to announce tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. Would you without going through a full case is process. If you listen to the president , he says throws a good thing. That doesnt match what a lot of economists say. Theyre worried if President Trump keeps going along this path and it braunchs a broader
trade war, that would undermine whats happening. If you want to talk about whether it is a good thing, look at smoot hallie. Im not sure we should make Trade Policy On Twitter but the idea that you say, trade wars are good and can be easily won. If we have tariffs, dont think the countries impacted will say, well, thats fair. We wont do anything. Thats the donald trump calculation. Thats not the calculation any other country makes. Theyre going on retaliate. Perhaps they are. I have to say, im pretty skeptical of all this complaining from these republican senators and congressmen. Theyre very good about, oh, were very concerned. How many have voted against
donald trump . Very few. How many have voted against the judicial nominees . How many voted against sfwhoek a couple and that was a big difference. Ben sass gets indignant about gun control. All this complaining it rings a little hollow. I think he is right that this Republican Party is Donald Trumps Republican Party. If you ever needed evidence, go look at the tax cut. Youre talking about a massive increase in the debt. That would not happen in 2010. There has been a capitulation. Donald trump had a hostile takeover of the Republican Party, the 2016 primary and then through election. Theyve given over to it. So you will hear the voices like that say it but no one in the Republican Party should be surprised when donald trump does things are not traditional orthodoxy because he wasnt a republican until two years ago. In the campaign he often spoke about trade wars and how the u. S. Was suffering as a result. He was opposed, they were all opposed saying this is a bad idea. It is going to hurt the u. S. Economically in a National Security format. Diplomatically. Dont do it. Youre punishing americas closest allies. Forget about china or russia. Americas closest allies are the countries that Export Aluminum and steel to the United States. This is a pattern of what weve seen. It is not just on trade. We have all the top intelligence chiefs, the administration saying, russia is meddling in
the election, or theyre encouraging and imploring the president to do something to give them more power. You heard admiral rogers say just that and the president refuses to acknowledge it. It is the same thing. The president is the smartest guy in the room. He goes with his gut. He goes with what he thinks despite others who 9 00 subl matter. Exactly why h. R. Mcmaster may not want to stick around. And i remember president obama not listening to the team. But they did listen. The president Isnt Listening and it is going with his gut on these massive decisions. Saying something very wrong at the white house. I want to you elaborate. The chaos does seem worse but there have been many weeks during the Trump Administration. Remember infrastructure week . These weeks where the news from russia dominates. The president is tweeting his way into trouble. There have been a lot of weeks like this and thats why he is a significantly unpopular restaurant. I think we can overstate how bad things are because he is still the leader of the Republican Party. The economy is doing pretty well. Having learned if 2016 to write him off. I aint doing it again. A new bid to influence Public Opinion taking his claims of Russian Military superiority
directly into americans living rooms. And later, a selfacclaimed russian seductress. Otezla is not an injection or a cream. Its a pill that treats differently.

Vladimir putin appears to be taunting the Trump Administration and the u. S. Military. What is putin saying . He says the speck spend new weapons are battle ready. He is full of swagger over these weapons, even if some arent close to being ready for deployment and he is taking joy in tweaking an american audience in an interview. Full of bravado, he delivered his threat straight to american living rooms. He said the money from american taxpayers have been thrown to the wind. Megyn kelly asked whether the missiles hes been boasting about were successful. All of they will were successful. Each is at a different level of readiness. Do you believe him . Could any of these be on combat
duty . Where would they be in. Its possible. I think they would be in the Military District opposite the baltic states. If putin has his missiles at kalingrad, it is wedged between poland and lithuania where putin has a massive naval base and tens of thousands of troops. But he promised his american interviewer he would never use the new weapons unless provoked. We have two reasons. The first is a Nuclear Attack against us. Or an attack against the Russian Federation using conventional weapon ts. The new weapons he claims to know developing includes a xroom has unlimited range and an
unimagined drone that could carry a Nuclear Weapon to florida. U. S. Officials downplayed the russian show of force calling it cheesy. But at the same time, there are reports the Trump Administration is ramping up the Missile Defense to counter putins threat. Analysts say he has cleverly maneuvered this standoff to box this President Trump. If we dont respond in kind, to show that were capable of respond an attack like that, we look weak. And that i think putin has forced donald trump into a position where he either looks soft on russia, which might be because of election related activities, which hes already vulnerable on. Or he who is the take a harder line. Many point to it as a new
arms race, a new cold war between the u. S. And russia. Putin says america started it by getting out of the missile treaty 16 years ago. What are experts saying about americas defenses against these new russian missiles . Well, they said the new missiles have not been developed to counter act them but they dont have to. The most effective defense is the conventional and nuclear deterrent. Americas own capability to hit russia hard, to blow them off the surface of the earth, if russia files. They said that he is well aware of the capability. Thank you for coming up. A very bizarre claim by a whom has what she describes as the Miss Go Puzzle Pieces about President Trump and the russians. She said she cant talk now
because shes in thailand. Thialand. Joining us from moscow, what is this all about . Well, wolf, this is an extraordinary story which offers us a very rare glimpse into the secret woerrld of politics and business. She describes herself as a sex coach and is promising to reveal secrets of information that may be relevant, she says, to the mueller inquiry. Take a listen. She promotes herself endlessly on social media. A kind of selfstyled russian sex guru who supposedly teaches you the arts of sed duck shn for a fee of course. Even if it were interacting with these men, very few discuss high topics with them. If you want to seduce a man like
that he needs to be hooked. Amid snaps and tin till lating videos, She Brags Of Lee Yas Zons with billionaires. One in particular. These are the images that have thrust her into the kind of spot light she didnt expect. It shows her relaxing on a boat with two men. One is one of russias richest men. Russias main Opposition Leader seized on the images as evidence of official corruption suggesting the two men can be heard discussing u. S. russia relations may have served betweas a link between the kremlin and trump campaign. They refused to comment. In a statement to cnn, his
spokesperson said hes suing ripka and her Business Partner because they quote maliciously made his private photos and personal information public its not the first time the Russian Oligarch known for close to the kremlin has fended off allegations of collusion. Cnn confronted him last year. Offered him private briefings. He told cnn he never received any communication. De it was after the promise more detail, more detail, she was holding one of her classes on this beach in thialand that this extraordinary story appears to have taken a spy novel turn. She was arrested by thai police
for violating the terms of her tourist visa managing to record that quick Tan Tal Liesing message aimed at the america media. Im ready to give you all the missing pieces of the puzzle, support them with videos and audio regarding the connections of our respective lawmakers with trump, manafort and the rest. Im waiting for your offers. Theyre possibly just the words of a desperate woman hoping to avoid deportation to russia, but her promise with no evidence so far to unlock the mysteries of the trump russia scandal. She certainly got the attention she so often craved. Has she awaits her fate, cnn has managed to make contact and she tells shes got 18 hours of audio recordings. She also says she has a photograph of an unnamed american businessman who met with and asked to delete the image but she didnt. Nothing conclusive, but this is generating a lot of interest. Surprising amount of interest in russia, so were going to be keeping a very close eye on this story. What do you suspect to could happen . Well i think were waiting to see whether she will emerge into the public again. What that will happen. Shes expected to be deported from thailand at some point over the next few days or weeks, depending on the authorities. If she is deported shell come back to russia. And praerhaps we might be able get clarity of what she has. All right. Thank you very much. In moscow for us. Coming up, the white house Chief Of Staff john kelly daught up in controversy but said he
wont be joining the growing number leaving the white house even as he admits deficiencies on the handling Security Clearances and classified materials. What would our founding fathers
