Bret Benjamin Hall in london. Thank you. President trump is being challenged and another twitter announcement that brought almost instant derision or questions. The president is criticizing the man he replaced for supposedly releasing dozens of terror test terror suspects from guantanamo bay. For many company and every student at all. The white house had to clarify. The same is true for the g. O. P. Effort of repealing and replacing obamacare. And a lot of questions about that. John roberts joins us with another day from the white house north lawn. Its always a full day here. Good evening. The white house portrayed the new Health Care Bill as phase one in a conference of process trying to keep the messaging today as positive as possible. Standing beneath the portrait of the woman he vanquished and the election, President Trump welcomed their first tour group since his inauguration to the white house. Work hard, everybody. Speak at the president is anxious to get back on track after the latest blow up in the rush of controversy and his activations of wiretapping that left even the president s staff scratching their heads as to what he was talking about. The remove to review and relates obamacare is President Trumps first big legislation initiative. He met with the Congressional Team that will whip at the republican votes to get it through the house. I am proud to support the replacement plan released by the house of representatives and encouraged by members of both parties. I think really that we are going to have something thats going to be much more understood and much more popular than people cant even imagine. The white house is scrambling to squash opposition from conservative republicans who say it is still obamacare, in a different form. Hhs secretary left to defend the tax credit the replaces the obamacare subsidy. The central part, which is tax credits, it basically is another entitlement similar to the entitlement of obamacare. How do you convince them since its going to take tax credits to make it work, that they need to swallow it and will forward . Conservatives and others have said we believe its important to equalize the tax treatment for those purchasing coverage, gaining coverage through their employer and those not. The tax credit is the opportunity to be able to equalize that tax treatment. The president himself handled the messaging after was pointed out two of his big campaign promises, selling insurance across state lines and negotiating lower drug prices, werent in this bill. Be president tweeting dont worry. Getting rid of state lines which will promote competition will be in phase two and three of health care rollout. And i am working on a new system where there will be competition in the drug industry. Pricing for the American People will come way down. But he fumbled an attack against his predecessor when he took aim at the Obama Administrations release of prisoners from guantanamo bay. He tweeted the pentagon says the 121 prisoners, only eight were released by the Obama Administration. Obviously the president meant the number that have been released on the battlefield, that have been released from gitmo since individuals had been released. The president stirred the pot on russia, tweeting for eight years russia ran over president obama, got stronger and stronger. Picked off crimea and added missiles. Weak. No evidence to back up the assertion on saturday that president obama had ordered wiretapping of trump tower. Bret john roberts live on the north lawn. Thank you. Is more debate than usual tonight over the confirmation of the man who would be second in command at the Justice Department. Thats because he could be the decisionmaker on any investigation into President Trump, his campaign, and alleged ties to russia. Here is chief correspondent catherine herridge. The federal probe into russian modeling of the november elections dominated the confirmation hearing for Deputy Attorney general. Is there any basis on what you would not be able to handle, such as these investigations. Im not aware of any requirement for me to recuse. Leaving the door open for a special prosecutor work was not enough for democrats. After the resignation of michael flynn. We are in an extra ordinary time careening toward a constitutional crisis. I cannot remember anything in my years here that has troubled me more. We need steel spines, not weak knees, when it comes to political independence in the department of justice. If its america against russia or america against any other country, i think everyone in this room knows which side im on. Rod rosenstein is politically neutral with 27 years the Justice Department working in the broader whitewater probe before being appointed a u. S. Attorney by president george w. Bush and being retained in the post by president obama but republicans said the resume was still not enough for democrats. My colleagues asked you whether you will abdicate the responsibilitys without even knowing the evidence, and appoint a special counsel. Republicans called out democrats who did not press Loretta Lynch to recuse himself after meeting with bill clinton during the fbis probe of Hillary Clintons email server. Stick of this kind of double standard makes it look like partisan politics. Both parties questions parties questions rosenstein on the weekend claims that president Obama Wiretapped trump tower. If the president is exercising his First Amendment rights, thats not my issue. No president can just unilaterally say go wiretapped that american citizen. I would agree with you that would not happen. Do you pledge to pursue any Ongoing Investigation into russian interference in the 2016 election . Absolutely. I look me in the eye and tell me youll do it right. The testimony from attorney general sessions when he did not disclose meetings with the Russian Ambassador hung like a dark cloud over their meetings. For him to put this in his letter as a response is insulting and he should come back and explain himself. I consider what senator franken asked sessions at that late moment as i got you question. They emphasized there is still no evidence of collusion between Trump Campaign associates and russian intelligence. There was a bipartisan call for the findings to be made public. Bret the Obamacare Repeal and replace legislation is getting seriously back from both ends of the political spectrum. It is called the American Health care act. Conservatives say it doesnt go far enough. Democrats aid goes too far. Mike emanuel is live on capitol hill. Good evening. Good evening. 24 hours after unveiling the plan, Administration Officials and leaders on capitol hill are selling it. House Speaker Paul Ryan said he guarantees it will have the votes to pass. Doing big things is never easy, but we have made a promise them and we are going to keep that promise. With the first major legislative priority under attack, Vice President mike pence came to the defense of the g. O. P. Health care plan. This is the bill and the president supports the American Health care act and looks forward to working very directly with leadership of the house and senate to move this bill. A letter from hhs secretary tom price lawmakers explain this is the first step in selling insurance across state lines and negotiating drug costs could not be included in this kind of reconciliation measure. Ways and means chairman kevin brady pushed colleagues to get on board. We have a choice. We can act now or keep fiddling around and squander this opportunity to repeal obamacare. Conservative groups Heritage Action lasted the proposal in late today members of the House Freedom caucus and kentucky senator rand paul called for voting on the street Obamacare Repeal. We are divided. We have to admit we are divided on replacement. We are united on repeal but divided on replacement. Leadership plan brought forward which i believe is obamacare in a different form. Earlier, energy and commerce chairman trying to defend we met that task of the president and secretary price who believe this is repeal and reform. Nancy pelosi is demanding to know the price tag, writing to Speaker Paul Ryan the American People and members of a right to know the full impact of the legislation before any voting. Trumpcare will make Health Insurance in america measurably worse in just about every way. And leave more americans uninsured. Is setting up as a showdown where white house and congressional leaders dare rank and file conservatives to oppose the bill, making the case would violate their campaign pledges and end up saving obamacare. Bret mag manual 11 help. Thank you. New Congressional Budget Office study says the Trump Administration and allies in congress will not have to act until sometime this fall to increase the borrowing limits. Current law permits the administration to freely borrow through march 15. Treasury department is permitted to use a variety of bookkeeping maneuvers, what the cbo calls ask ordinary measures, to finance government operations. Stocks were down. Dow lost 30, s p 500 drops 7. Nasdaq fell 15. President trump met with the nations top labor Union Official today at the white house. Its the latest move in the political relationship that has been hot and cold. Chief washington correspondent james rosen shows us why. Good evening. We were set for cameras to be set allowed white house said the meeting was still long but News Coverage was blacked out. These two titans of their field felt they could accomplish more in private. Im sorry we did not win this election. It was hardly surprising on her way to losing the presidency Hillary Clinton won the union labor vote. Per 51 to Donald Trumps 42 marked a fivepoint drop off from their share commanded by president obama in 2012. We are going to fight for you. President trump has courted labor, as when he invited minors to the white house miners to the white house. The head of the aflcio said the first billionaire businessman to become chief executive has thus far presented a mixed bag. What he did on tcp was good. The thing he is trying to do with infrastructure is good and then on the other side he put some people in there were antiunion. International brotherhood of teamsters broke with the Obama Administration on the Keystone Pipeline and declined to endorse Hillary Clinton during the primaries. The group is keeping an open mind about donald trump. We want the American Worker to be successful and if that includes working with the president , we will do that. He is the president and we intend to work with him where we can. I, richard nixon, do solemnly swear. The only time winning the vote former aide to president george w. Bush and a Fox News Contributor is working privately to strengthen the ties between big labor and the publican party. They are giving the president the benefit of the doubt to wait and see what the Infrastructure Program is going to look like, what trade is going to look like, what relations between mexico going to look like, especially mexican trucking. Last year, according to federal statistics the number of wage and salary workers belonging to unions declined to about 14. 5 million. The peak of membership was the mid1950s. James, thanks. The u. S. Is moving stateoftheart missiledefense equipment to south korea in response to more missile testing from north korea. Thats causing major blowback from china. Rich edson explains from the state department. The terminal High Altitude aerial defense, an american system designed to intercept and destroy incoming missiles. After another series of north Korean Missile launches, the United States has deployed the system to south korea and is reassuring and alarm Chinese Government these missiles are only defensive. Weve been clear that its clearly a defensive system and the reason we are pursuing it with south korea is because of north koreas continued, for lack of a better term, bad behavior. China strongly opposes. The Chinese Government also threatened the u. S. Is beginning a regional arms race. Translator we will truly take necessary measures to safeguard our own security interest. The United States and they are okay will bear the consequence arising. Us because the u. S. Has long considered and china long opposed deploying the system to south korea. The u. S. Announced it was doing so one day after north korea launched four missiles into the south china sea. Despite International Condemnation and sanctions, north korea continues to developing its Ballistic Missile and nuclear programs. Since 2006, has successfully achieved five Nuclear Explosions and routinely fires Ballistic Missiles. Next week secretary of state Rex Tillerson will travel to japan, south korea, and china. State Department Says he will discuss moving beyond sanctions to deter north korean behavior. Its going to get to the point where we need to look at other alternatives. Trump administration has requested china deter its ally north korea from continuing its nuclear and missile programs. It wants china to fully implement sanctions against north korea. In claiming an unprecedented penalty the United States has announced a settlement with a Chinese Technology company that will cost them more than a billion dollars. The offense selling banned technology to iran and violating u. S. Sanctions. Rich edson at the state department. Up next, why its possible you may not see many women at your job tomorrow.
