Welcome to the lead. Im jake tapper. President trump after months of bashing one. Oldest and perhaps most successful military alliances in World History nato is getting ready for upcoming talks with the european leaders in brussels, belgium, about the future of the organization. Thats even as a senior white house official last week threatened that the u. S. Might leave nato. The president landed in belgium just hours ago after a quick stopover in rome where he and pope francis visited this morning in what the president called a fantastic meeting at vatican city. You will remember last year during the president ial campaign the pope said anyone who thinks about building walls and not bridges is, quote, not a christian and then candidate trump called those comments disgraceful and said the Mexican Government was using the pope as a pawn. This morning, however, were told the two men discussed terrorism, Climate Change and world peace. Here in washington the discussion seems a bit stalled. His Budget Proposal was declared dead on arrival by republicans as it hit capitol hill. Cnns jim acosta is live in prus else for us. Jim, the president and the pope today tried to move past the campaign tension, it seems. Reporter thats right, jake. President trump and pope francis could not be more diametrically opposed when it comes to the most important issues facing the world, but they tried to put that aside and talk about the Terror Threat which is a flitting conversation after the events of this week. Obviously the Terror Threat is a message the president is going to try to hammer home when he sits down with nato leaders here in brussels. Thank you very much. Reporter two leaders with wellknown differences, President Trump and pope francis met longer than expected at Vatican Holding an extension conversation, Senior Administration officials said, about the radicalization of young people, a critical meeting of the minds apparently impact by the concert bombing in manchester. Thank you very much. Reporter two men didnt tackle all their disagreements though the president was pressed by vatican officials to keep the u. S. And obama officials paris climate agreement. He is something. He is really great. We had a fantastic meeting, and we had a fantastic tour. It was really beautiful. Liking italy very much. Reporter not everybody in the president s entourage made it into the meeting, notably press Secretary Sean Spicer who is catholic. Spicers absence was due to the strict restriction on numbers though those close to the president said it was a slight. The president considered a wi whirlwind stop in brussels where he will meet with leaders to talk about what happened in manchester. You realize how important it is to win this fight. Reporter secretary of state Rex Tillerson says its time for the decades old Nato Alliance to become more active in the terror fight. Nato joining the iciscolition, we do think that would be a really important step for them to take. They have been an observers but they have become more and more engaged, you know, in the actual fight to beat isis. Reporter the bloodshed in manchester only strengthens the president s argument. I think the horrible attack in manchester reminds us why we have to do that it, and the president said that in remarks to Embassy Staff today. He said, you know, just reminds us why we have to win this fight, and we have to do it. Reporter even as the president tries to remain focused on his overseas trip, there are daily reminders of the political purr toil awaiting him when he returns home. The president is expected to hire a trial lawyer hes used in the past, marc kasowitz, as one of his outside attorneys to deal with the special counsel investigation and possible campaign tries with russia. Nearly simultaneously the white house said it was no longer considering former Vice President ial candidate Joe Lieberman for fbi director. Lieberman happens to be a partner at kasowitz firm. White house officials insisted the decision to expand its fbi director search was just a coincidence. Fellow republicans maintain that all of the russia questions must be answered. It has to be resolved. The American People want answers. 100 senators want to make sure that our country stays safe and secure and strong. Were committed to getting to the bottom of this. Reporter now secretary of state Rex Tillerson noted that russia will be participating on a sidelines of the g7 summit down in sicily later on at the end of this week. Tillerson said that russia will have to address its actions in ukraine if it hopes to rejoin what used to be known as the g8 before it was kicked out after its actions in ukraine. So, jake, even after all of its meddling in the u. S. Election, russia still doesnt have everything that it would like to have on the world stage. Jake . Thanks so much. Lets go to the politics lead. At any moment well get the highly anticipated report from the Congressional Budget Office analyzing the new Republican Health care bill. The report gauges the potential impact on the federal deficit and estimates how Many Americans might be covered, how Many Americans might lose coverage. You will recall the white house celebration earl they are this month after republicans pushed through their bill, before the cbo had a chance to analyze the bill. Cnns Phil Mattingly joins me live from capitol hill. No matter what the new cbo report says, there will be millions who will be uninsured under the current bill. Yeah. Thats not even a question at this point, jake, and were in the midst of the famed capitol hill wednesday out waiting for the numbers to come out from the Congressional Budget Office which aides say should come within the hour. The crucial numbers, 24 million would lose their insurance based on the early expectations or at least the early scoring of this bill. Of that 150 billion in deficit reduction would also occur. That latter number is actually really, really number for this bill to actually move forward. They need to secure 2 billion in deficit savings. Now, jake, that gives them a huge hurdle and as we talked about repeatedly over the consideration of the bill they changed provisions giving states the opportunity to opt out of Insurance Regulations which should do help them on the number of insured, should drop that number from 24 billion, thats the expectations and it will also cost more money adding 8 billion to address those with preexisting conditions so the big question is what will the number of indiana shourd be . Will the deficit reduction target make sure it can be sent to the senate and considered and also noteworthy, where premiums actually stand. Will they go down like the republicans have said will be the primary goal. All crucial issues well keeping our eye on in the next couple of minutes. Once the score comes out do you have any sense what may be major sticking points for the senate republicans. Senators have been meeting behind closed doors since the house ball trying to hash out a path forward and what im told based on numerous conversations of people inside these closeddoor meetings and they are a lot of problems and not all that different, the Medicaid Expansion. Senators from states like pennsylvania, nevada, West Virginia, who want to protect that expansion or at least let the phaseout be a little bit easier, a softer landing, if pull. A lot of other issues, too. No clear consensus right now. The senate still has a lot of work to do. Phil mattingly on capitol hill for us. Following some breaking news. Former adviser carter page says that he will testify before the House Intelligence Committee as part of its ongoing probe into russian interference into the u. S. Election and possible ties between the trump team and russia. The same, however, can not be said for trumps former National Security adviser Michael Flynn. He has said hell invoke his fifth amendment rights and thus far hes refused to comply about subpoenas for business records. Leaders of both the house and Senate Intelligence committees are threatening to hold flynn in contempt of congress. Late today the chairman and ranking members of the Senate JudiciaryCommittee Said memos written by fired fbi director detailing his conversations with President Trump have yet to be turned over to that committee. Joining me now to discuss this all is Senate Minority whip dick durbin of illinois. He serves on the judiciary committee. Senator, good to see you, as always. Thanks, jake. How much do you think carter page can reveal in this ongoing probe . I dont know how much he was involved. His name has certainly been prominent, but, you know, what weve seen is lets figure out who the witnesses are, what the evidence may be and follow it to its logical conclusion. I dont know if the House Intelligence Committee has that same goal. I hope they do. The chairman and ranking members. Judiciary committee on which you serve say they have yet to receive these fabled comey memos. What next steps are you prepared to taken to sure that you get a chance to read them . Well, of course, we want to see these memos. Theres a legitimate question to be raised about the head of the fbi. That is in the jurisdiction of the judiciary committee. Wed like to know the circumstances for the firing of comey and, of course, we want to know the standards that are being used to pick his successor. Its a critical question. Reporter at this point do you think that former National Security adviser Michael Flynn should be held in contempt of congress for his refuse al to allow himself to be interviewed. Well, im told that the fifth amendment does not apply to documents that already exist, and so he couldnt use the fifth amendment as his excuse for not complying with the subpoena thats been issued by the committee. If he wants to plead the fifth amendment in terms of his personal testimony, thats his right to do, but when it comes to documents, those already in existence, that would not apply. President trump has hired outside private counsel. What do you make that have . Well, i think hes finally going lawyer up and take it seriously will. I mean, if you listen to the thing hes said and what hes done over the past several weeks, i dont think hes taken this whole obstruction of justice issue seriously. The conversations hes had with mr. Comey as well as the leaders in our intelligence agencies about stopping their investigation of russian interference in our election are truly troubling. Yeah, and on that subject, obviously cnn and the Washington Post and others have reported this, that President Trump asked both the director of National Intelligence dan coates and the head of the National Security agency admiral rogers to publicly deny any evidence of collusion between the Trump Campaign and russia. Now if but combine that with the firing of comey, the comey memo alleging trump asked him to back off from investigating flynn, the president telling the russians that firing comey took pressure off of him because of the russia scandal, and on and on, do you see a case for obstruction of justice . Well, i can tell you there certainly is smoke. Whether theres fire is up to bob mueller. Bob mueller is now the special counsel in this case, a person whom i trust very much. He was head of the fbi, former federal judge. Hes a man of integrity and intelligence, and i think he knows where to take this investigation, but is there evidence to be looked at . You bet there is, and you just went through the list. Take a listen to what a friend of james wittes told my colleague anderson cooper. I have no doubt that he regarded the group of people around the president dishonorable. This is a guy with a story to tell. I think if i were donald trump that would scare me a lot. What do you make of that, senator . Well, i think it is worrisome. The situation is really hard to understand with with the advisers to the president and some of the information that has come out. Weve just got to leave it in the hands of a professional like bob mirl,ueller, a good choice far as im concerned. Israels defense minister was asked on israeli radio if its true that the life of an israeli agent was put in danger by President Trump revealing intelligence to the russians while in the oval office. Israeli defense minister lieberman said, quote, i will not confirm or deny. We have made a pointed correction. There is unprecedented intelligence cooperation, unquote. What do you how do you interpreted a point correction . What does that mean to you . I wish i knew what that phrase meant but ill tell you this h. Making that kind of disclosure to the foreign minister of russia and the Russian Ambassador to the United States inside the oval office was reckless. To give that kind of classified information out to a nominal enemy of the United States on so many fronts, theres no explanation for it, and i hope that the president has learned his lesson and i hope this didnt endanger the lives of anyone, including those sources that gave us this critical information. Senator dick durbin of illinois, thanks so much for your time, sir. Thank you. More breaking news.

Police have just made arrest number six in connection with the manchester terror attack at a concert monday during police raids of two apartments of the brother of the bomber who. Hes also been detained in libya for a separate plot, according to authorities there. The brother admitted during interrogation that he and the attacker were members of isis. A family friend says their father took both his sons to libya about a month ago to try to keep them out of trouble in manchester. Police say its very clear that the bomber was part of a wider terrorist network. The 22yearold was known to authorities and on the radar of intelligence services. Cnns Atika Shubert is in manchester where theres obviously a very heavy police presence. Atika, what are you seeing . Reporter absolutely. I mean, this is all part of the expanding investigation, the sixth arrest, the woman who was arrested, we understand that happened here. Armed police went in to make that arrest. We dont know exactly how she is connected to this investigation, but police have confirmed there is in fact a link, and in addition to that, of course, we now know that the younger brother of salman abedi has now been pay rested in tripoli. Now, we dont know the circumstances as well of what happened there, but it appears that he was arrested by a local militia, and they claim that he was planning an attack there. Theres no way for us, however, to independently verify this. Now, again, this is all part of that investigation that is growing, and thats because according to the chief constable, of course, this is not just the work of one man. Heres a look at all of the different sites that we have visited so far. A few weapons, mobile phone jamming equipment and body armor, more than a dozen
