The French Interior ministry is calling for anyone there to remain indoors due to what is dubbed a serious security event in the city. The area is a tourist spot with millions visits the Christmas Market every year. Updates as events warrant. Our reporting begins with a temper tantrum that spiralled downwards. Thats how Chuck Schumer and nancy pelosi are describing a meeting at the white house with President Trump. The white house is calling it a constructive dialogue. But admits theres major disagreement about how to avoid a partial government shut down around christmas. Much of that meeting behind closed doors. It started with a 15minute back and forth that was open to the news media and full of fireworks. Congress has less than two weeks to avoid a partial government shut down. The president has tried to tie the funding for the wall at the southern border to legislation that would keep the government running. Our Capitol Hill Team tells us how republicans do not have the votes to pass legislation to avoid the shut down with or without the border wall money. Leaders pelosi and schumer explain that to the president. It doesnt help for me to take a vote in the house where i will win easily with the republicans. It doesnt help to take that vote because im not going to get the votes from the senate. I need ten senators. Thats the problem. Youve had the white house, the senate the white house is done. The house would give me the vote if i wanted it. I cant nancy, i need ten votes from chuck. Let me say one thing. The fact is you do not have the votes in the house. Nancy, i do. We need Border Security. Nancy, we need Border Security. Border security. That was a big part of todays talks. President trump listed some stats about how he says parts of the border wall was effective. Its not been built. Some of it has been reinforced with wires put up, replacement. No new wall. Hasnt happened. The House Minority leader, nancy pelosi calls the president s information not factual. Democratic leaders also challenged his claim that a wall is necessary for Border Security. We need Border Security. The wall is a part of it. You cant have good Border Security without the wall. No. Thats a political comment. Border security is a way to effectively honor a responsibility the experts say you can do it without a wall, which is wasteful and solves the problem. It totally solves the problem. Shepard the democrats and the need didnt agree on the border wall and did not agree for the need for a shut down or who would be to blame. The one thing i think we can agree on, we shouldnt shut down the government over a dispute. You want to shut it down. You keep talking about it. The last time you shut it down and you no, no. I dont want to do what you did 20 times you said i will shut town the government if i dont get my wall. You want to know something . You said it. Ill take it. You know what ill say . Yes, if we dont get what we want, one way or the other, whether its through you, through a military, through anything you want to call, i will shut down the government. And im proud and ill tell you what we disagree. Im proud to shut down the government for Border Security. The people of this country dont want criminals and people that have lots of problems and drugs pouring into our country. So i will take the mantel. I will be the one to shut it down. Im not going to blame you for it. The last time you shut it down, it didnt work. Ill take the mantel and ill shut it down for Border Security. You shunt shut it down. Thank you everybody, everybody. Shepard thats how the talks on that topic ended. The president will be proud to shut down the government for Border Security if he doesnt get what he wants. Far from washington, wall street felt the effects of that meeting. Stocks dipped into the red when the group just started talking. Were barely in the red now. Peter doocy is reporting live on capitol hill. Hi, peter. You heard a little bit of it there. The president spent some time reminding the Democratic Leaders what happened during the last big funding fight. Thats when republicans quickly branded it the schumer shut down and it was politically damaging for the democrats. So the democrats already out there, theyre calling this the trump shut down even though nothing is finalized yet. The bottom line is simple. The president made clear that he wants a shut down. His position, if he sticks to his position for 5 billion wall, he will get no wall and he will get a shut down. Schumer and pelosi both seem surprised that the cameras kept rolling and the press just stood there once their meeting began. They kept asking the president for the conversation to continue privately. That didnt happen for a while. Pelosi says that shes never been part of a meeting like that because normally things stick to more of a structure. The presentation to the press today. So when i said lets have this conversation, they said you want to keep it from the public . No, we dont want to contradict the president again and again in front of the public. But if thats what he wants, thats what we have to do. What he was saying is just not factual. Im told that after the cameras left that meeting and the chatting continues, things were just as candidate as the parts that we saw. Shep . Shepard we heard from the leaders after this get together and we heard from the white house. Yes. They think that meeting was very constructive. The White House Press secretary Sarah Sanders just sent this along that says, so far the Democrat Party has made clear they would rather keep the border open than the government open. The president was grateful to let the press in the meeting so the American People can see while the republicans are fighting to protect our border, democrats are fighting to protect the illegal immigrants. The president took a minute to remind Chuck Schumer that his rank thinned in the midterm elections. We have the lowest unemployment weve had in 50 years. 50 people of the Republican Party are losing their offices now because of the transition. People are not nancy, did we win the senate . We won the senate. When the president brags that he won north dakota and indiana, hes in real trouble. I did. We did win north dakota and indiana. The democratic leader came back here after that meeting to continue drilling down on their talking points about government funding. It seems like the president has already moved open for the afternoon tweeting about james comey and the fbi. Shep . Shepard order is restored. Peter doocy live on capitol hill. Lets get more from the hill. Mike emanuel reporting live. Hi, mike. Good afternoon, shep. Senate Republican Leaders sound hopeful there may be cooperation later. Perhaps a christmas miracle. Missouri senator roy blunt telling reporters, giving President Trump something he wants and giving democrats something they want isnt that complicated. If you can solve a couple of them together, solve a couple problems together, if you can be for 25 billion in building walls and fences, why cant you give for building walls and fences for 5 billion. Its not that hard a problem to solve. Daca is a reference to young people brought here by their parents. Senator blount throwing out a possibility of including that with border wall money. Another Senate Republican says the president really wants this fight. I think hes going to do it. I believed that for some time. Prepared to be here for christmas. The president feels very strongly about the need for a wall. I think hes prepared to do it. Right now Homeland Security funding runs out a week from friday late night the 21st. Shep . Shepard what are you hearing from other democrats after watching the leaders with the president . It felt like one of though showses where the president worked for his base and the leaders worked for their base, you know . Youre right. Connecticut senator Richard Blumenthal said this would be a ridiculous reason to force a partial shut down. I dont think a president of the United States should be proud of shutting down the government over an unnecessary expensive wasteful wall when theres other means of Border Security that are far more effective. Delaware democrat senator chris coons says the timing would be lousy. Shutting down the government in a fit of whether he gets 1 billion more or 5 billion more where they havent spent the appropriations yet is the grinch stealing christmas move that wont go over well the americans. Others has suggested nobody wins in a partial shut down. Shepard mike emanuel reporting live. Two men that were once in President Trumps inner circle are expected to ask judges to go easy on them.

Call now 18557198160 shepard the special counsel, Robert Mueller, and key players in the russia investigation are facing off in legal action this week. A hearing was scheduled to start minutes ago involving President Trumps former Campaign Chairman, Paul Manafort. His attorneys are expected to respond to muellers claims that manafort lied to the feds in violation of his plea deal. In a heavily redacted document, Robert Mueller wrote that manafort mislead investigators about his contacts with the ukrainian business man linked to russian intelligence and about his communication with Trump Administration officials stretching into this calendar year. Manaforts lawyers say he believes he was truthful. Then theres President Trumps onetime National Security adviser Michael Flynn. Flynns lawyers have to respond to muellers sentencing memo from last week. The prosecutor said flynn was so cooperative in their investigation, that he deserved little or no prison time. That document was also mostly blacked out. Depending on flynns attorneys response, we could learn more about what flynn has been telling muellers team. Then theres tomorrow. Tomorrow a judge here in new york is scheduled to sentence the president s former longtime attorney and fixer michael cohen. He pleaded guilty to violating Campaign Finance laws and lying to congress about negotiations to build a trump tower in moscow. The project never happened. In another court filing released friday, federal prosecutors said President Trump ordered cohen to buy the silence of the two women before the 2016 election. The president denied he had affairs with them and blames cohens for problems with the payments. Robert mueller is looking for moscows meddling in the president ial election, possible collusion with members of the president s campaign, whether the president obstructed justice and any evidence of crimes uncovered during the investigation. President trump says there was no collusion and to no obstruction. The chief intelligence officer, Catherine Herridge reporting live from washington. At this hour, we have a status hearing with both sides in d. C. Federal court. Theyre arguing over whether Paul Manafort violated his plea agreement with the special counsel. You recall in the filing late friday, part of which was public, manafort had inappropriate contact with the white house. The evidence demonstrates that manafort had contact with administration officials. But manaforts team said he told the trouble but the special counsel doesnt like his answers. The special counsel has pressed manafort on the president s soninlaw, jared kushner. Prosecutors have also left the door open to filing additional charges against manafort who as you know already faces years in prison for a conviction on bank and tax fraud in virginia, shep. Shepard the flynn filing, that could come at any time . Thats right. Were expecting his lawyers, former National Security adviser mike flynns lawyers to file what they call the sentencing memo later today. Im a little confused on the timing. A lot of things going on. If i recall correctly, they have until midnight. This would come well into the evening hours. You remember last week, muellers team told the court that flynn provided substantial assistance, over 19 interviews and they recommended a light sentence, possibly no jail time at all. What makes this step different is that for the first time well hear from flynn and his attorneys who may explain in his own words his acceptance for responsibilities about lying to investigators about phone call with the Russian Ambassador and a hardship of the investigation, the toll its taken on his family. Youll recall a year ago when he plead guilty. He said he pled guilty because he thought it was in the best interest of his family. For son context, some of the witnesses worked for the campaign but had never been a target of the special counsel and said their legal bills were crippling, upwards of 250,000 in some cases.
