Backward in the effort to eliminate the threat of north Koreas Nuclear weapons program. President trump says theres a good chance next months planned summit with kim jong un will not happen on schedule. The president indicating today the meeting will either be on his terms or it wont happen at all. And it could very well be delayed as a possibility. Chief White House Correspondent john roberts starts us off from the north lawn tonight with where the summits prospects are. Good evening. Good evening. In the oval office today, President Trump said the chances of a summit between him and north Korean Leader kim jong un is basically a coin flip. 50 50, the president said. The white house is still making plans. President trump has repeatedly stated that the summit with kim jong un may happen. It may not happen. We will see. In the oval office today with south korean president moon jaein, the president went further down the road to pessimism that he has thus far. Very substantial chance that it wont work out and thats okay. That doesnt mean it wont work out over a period of time but it may not work out for june 12. Speak with the president s remarks flew in the face of the south Korean National security advisor who said just hours earlier there was a 99 chance the meeting will happen. Later this afternoon, secretary of state mike pompeo said the state department is still working for the june 12 date and that the u. S. Is in deep discussions with north korea over substance. We are working to make sure there is a common understanding of the contents discussed but i am optimistic. Again, this could be something that comes right to the end. Today north korea invited journalists to its Nuclear Test Site which north korea says is being decommissioned. Its unclear whether the site was even usable after the last nuclear test reportedly collapsed tunnels. President trump repeated today that kim will receive protections in exchange for dismantling his nuclear program. We will guarantee safety and we have talked about that from the beginning. He will be safe. He will be happy. President trump expressed frustration that north koreas recent squishing us about a summit seemed to coincide with a second meeting kim had with chinese president xi jinping on may 8. The second meeting, i think there was a little change in attitude from kim jong un. So i dont like that. I dont like that. President trump also said hes not happy with how trade talks between the u. S. And china have been going. Despite tweeting that china has agreed to buy massive amounts of Additional FarmAgricultural Products will be one of the best things to happen to our farmers and many years. The president insists he has not cut a deal to save Chinese Telecom giant zte, though he has some ideas to keep them in business. I envision a very large find of more than a billion dollars. Could be a billion. 3. I envision new management, new board, very strict security rules and i envision they have to buy a big percentage of their parts and equipment from american companies. Treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin was pummeled with questions about zte on capitol hill today. After conversations with President Trump, the Senate Minority leader came away worrying that the president will go soft on zte to keep xi jinping happy. We are pressing the president to stand firm, not to let zte wriggle out from under the tough sanctions we leveled on them. President trump had some ideas today of how he sees the long game with north korea. In the short term, the president envisions two koreas prosperous and living in peaceful coexistence. He did say he would ultimately like to see a reunified Korean Peninsula but only if the two countries wanted that to happen. No imposition of such an idea from the United States. Bret john roberts live on the north lawn. Thanks. Putting the squeeze on iran. The Trump Administration is imposing new sanctions on a group of iranians who supportig terrorism. It is part of the new get tough approach to the islamic republi republic. Good evening. Secretary of state mike pompeo wants iran to act like a normal country. He has listed a dozen demands hes expecting from iran. He says the United States is refusing to compromise on those because he says they should be easy to meet. The benchmark i set forward yesterday as a low standard. It is what we expect from countries all around the world. They are arent a special set of rules that we set forward for iran. We asked them to behave in the way normal nonbelligerent nations behave. Two hours ago secretary pompeo surprised reporters here, appearing in the press Briefing Room answering questions about north korea and iran. Yesterday the secretary announced the Trump Administrations iran policy following its withdrawal from the iran nuclear agreement. Pompeo demanded iran permanently halt any nuclear enrichment, release american prisoners, stopped funding militant groups. He says in exchange for irans compliance with the dozen demands, the United States would lift sanctions and help iran modernize its economy. Instead, more sanctions against iranians. This morning, the Treasury Department targeted five more. Pompeos warning companies and allied countries to avoid conducting business with iran. In response to pompeos speech, iranian president has president Hassan Rouhani says who are you to decide about iran. Who are you to decide for the world . Pompeo says the u. S. Is deciding for itself and articulating what america intends to do. In the next few months, the Administration Says its going to allow sanctions to move forward against iranians, the same types of sanctions that were prohibited when the u. S. Participated in the iran nuclear agreement. Pompeo says those measures will be the strongest in history. Bret. Bret rich edson live at the state department. Thank you. Venezuela is expelling the top u. S. Diplomat in that country. President Nicolas Maduro is accusing the top u. S. Officials there of conspiring against the government and trying to sabotage the countrys recent president ial election. Tensions between the u. S. And venezuela are increasing following maduros victory in the president ial election sunday, a vote the white house has branded a sham. Yesterday the Trump Administration impose new sanctions against the federal government. Republicans who have for months complained about the scope and duration of the special counsel investigation are now asking for a special prosecutor of their own. This comes as President Trump continues to insist the Justice Department look into reports of an informant inside his 2016 campaign. Chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge is in washington tonight with where things stand. The president left no doubt today where he stands on reports the fbi used at least one informant to gather intelligence on his campaign. If they had spies in my campaign, that would be a disgrace for this country. That would be one of the biggest insults that anyone has ever seen. It would be very illegal. With the south korean president by his side, the president did not avoid questions about his demands for the Justice Department to act. Some person got paid a lot of money. Thats not a normal situation. The suspected informant met with carter page and sam clovis and at one point was recommended for administration position. The individual was known to former Trump Campaign chairman Paul Manafort but they were not in contact during the 2016 election. With the president s insistence on a parallel investigation and the Justice Department expanding an existing probe to cover the informant allegations, the ranking democrat on the House Intelligence Committee accused the president of overstepping his authority. This is information that the Justice Department, fbi expressed grave concerns about. Whats been said is dynamite. Its the scandal of our time. House republicans asking a resolution for a Second Special counsel to investigate a broad range of allegations against the Justice Department and the fbi standing a three year period to include the clinton email case, alleged government surveillance abuse, as well as how and why the rush investigation began into the Trump Campaign. This president has turned over 1. 2 million documents to the special counsel mueller. And yet our doj and fbi, in a seven month period, has delivered less than 19,000 documents. Democrats accused republicans of improperly investigating the investigators. Normally when you have congress trying to interfere with an investigation, the president protects the independence of the Justice Department. Here the president as part of that interference. You have to take it up with the guys who wrote the constitution. Thats exactly what we are supposed to do. Give us the information we are entitled to see. White house brokered meeting, latest information indicating it will be thursday at the Justice Department. Source close to the discussions said its not clear the records requested by congress including those about an alleged fbi informant will be made accessible. Bret Catherine Herridge in washington. Thank you. More on this with the panel. Top House Republicans as russias goal is to create chaos during the upcoming midterm elections. How to prevent that is a major talking point tonight. Following a highlevel briefing from some of the countrys top intelligence officials. Correspondent peter doocy tells us from capitol hill apparently many in congress are not that interested. In a room beneath the capital, the intel chiefs who came to deliver a classified briefing about election interference that every house member was invited to share those secrets with a lot of empty seats. I would say we had 40 or so members that attended. Thats 40 out of 428 members serving right now. One theory congress didnt want to commute an hour early. Homeland security chairman was surprised so many lawmakers who talk about election interference blew off the director of national intelligence, fbi director, and dhs secretary. The democrats have made this such a big issue and asked for this briefing for a long time and we finally schedule it and its classified and 30 members show up. Every member of congress not retiring is up for reelection and the midterms but none are known to be in the cross hairs of foreign metallurgist. Right now we have no intel that there is a particular interest. Secretary nielsen said china and iran are considered threats to Election Integrity but that kind of interference they are worried about in 2018 is the same kind elected in 2016 where ballots arent changed by social media is manipulated to cause chaos. I think we remain concerned certainly on the foreign influence ive heard we have seen that continually. Details like that did not dazzle the democrats who did attend. I didnt hear one bit of classified information. There was nothing that i couldnt have read in usa today that was revealed. So the fact that there was a low attendance, it doesnt matter. This was the rare russiarelated event on capitol hill that happened behind closed doors, so its going to be very interesting to see if the hundreds of lawmakers who decided they didnt want the classified update today decided to show up to the next russia hearing where the cameras are rolling the whole time. Bret. Bret peter, moments ago the house passed legislation to ease banking rules, essentially a reform of the doddfrank law. What do we know about the bill thats actually now headed to the president s desk . Its making life easier for Smaller Banks in this country. After the financial crisis with the doddfrank regulations, the feds put the strictest regulations on banks that were worth 50 billion or more. They said those banks are too big to fail. They must be regular. Now too big to fail is bigger. 250 billion, five times that size, is now the too big to fail threshold which means that a lot of Smaller Banks are going to have a lot fewer regulations. This does not repeal doddfrank but it does rollback a lot of important regulations and it is the rare measure that very easily cleared the senate and the house. Bret. Bret peter doocy live on the hill. Thank you. Not a full dismantle of doddfrank but a big win for the administration. Voters are going to the polls in texas, arkansas, kentucky, georgia. Corresponded Jonathan Serries in gainesville, georgia, right now with an intense battle among republicans buying for spot on the gubernatorial ticket there. Good evening, jonathan. Good evening, bret. I am at the casey cagle watch party. Lieutenant governor enjoys statewide name recognition but hes 1 of 5 g. O. P. Candidates in the primary. A july runoff appears increasingly likely in this race. The other statewide Office Holder in the republican race for governor, georgia secretary of state brian kemp. He gained National Attention with some provocative ads to show his support for the Second Amendment. Former Navy Seal Clay Tippins and former Army Ranger Hunter Hill have been touting their military expense and state senator Michael Williams earned praise and protest when he branded his campaign bus as a deportation bus. He says he did that to raise the issue of illegal immigration. For republicans in this primary, the strategy has been energizing the populist conservative base. In the democratic primary for georgia governor, two candidates with the same first name and similar platforms went into this race with some very different strategies. State representative stacey evans whose district is located in the atlanta suburb, trying to win back suburban moderates and workingclass voters who have left the Democratic Party in large numbers. Former state representative stacy abrams has been running a doortodoor campaign to attract new voters with leftleaning values. Yesterday abrams picked up the support of hillary clinton, who recorded a robo call for her. She has the endorsement of senators kamala harris, cory booker, and bernie sanders. Bret, tonight democrats are going to be watching tonights primary to see which of those two strategies resonates most with voters and then you will likely see that strategy in future campaigns going into the 2020 president ial election. For republicans, because of the sheer number of g. O. P. Contenders, this race may not be decided tonight. Analysts say the campaign for a Runoff Election for the g. O. P. Could be both nasty and very expensive. Bret. Bret Jonathan Serrie live in gainesville, georgia, tonight. Thank you.
