the president says when he fired comey, he had the russia investigation on his mind. When i decided to just do it, i said to myself, you know, this russia thing with trump and russia is a madeup story. Pierre thomas with us live tonight. And in the meantime, pierre, the president has claimed top fbi officials are biased against him. And tonight, were learning of pressure on the new fbi director, christopher wray, to replace his own deputy . Reporter thats right, david. Sources tell us that the Attorney General has been urging director wray to remove his senior leadership, to basically clean house. But were told director wray has been pushing back, saying the decision is his and his alone. David . Pierre thomas with us here in new york. Pierre, thank you. And as i mentioned, we have also learned tonight of two key issues Robert Mueller would like to ask President Trump about. So, lets get right to our chief White House Correspondent jonathan karl, who is here with us in new york tonight. And jon, what are you learning . Reporter well, we know that two of the issues that mueller wants to focus on are the firing of james comey and the firing of
michael flynn, but ive got to tell you, david, there is no guarantee this interview will happen. In fact, i think this could become a big fight. I have spoken to people very close to the president who say that he should do everything he should Everything Possible to stop this interview from happening, that it could be a disaster, even though he told me back in june he would be 100 willing to do it. Yes, we remember that. And in the meantime, you heard the president today saying about Jeff Sessions being interviewed by mueller, that hes not at all concerned, were his words. What are you learning from your sources inside the white house . Reporter well, the president s legal team feel like this is another sign that mueller is wrapping up his investigation, hes getting to the final phases, but this is also an indication that mueller is getting very close to the president , david. He is leaving no stone unturned. Jon karl with us in new york. Good to have you here for a change. In the meantime tonight, the Government Shutdown now over after three days, and costing the u. S. Taxpayer millions. And a reminder tonight that this spending they agreed on only lasts about three weeks. Then what . Tonight, democrats are demanding action on the dreamers, and what
theyve now pulled from the table. Heres abcs senior White House Correspondent cecilia vega. Reporter after sitting out for much of the shutdown fight, today, President Trump jumped back in the fray, but he would not promise that washington will actually reach a deal to save the dreamers by the looming deadline. He tweeted, nobody knows for sure that the republicans and democrats will be able to reach a deal on daca by february 8th, but everyone will be trying. Could this white house envision a scenario in which these dreamers are deported . Would that be something that the president is okay with . At this point, the president is willing to sign something to find a permanent solution. Reporter is the white house using these dreamers as a Bargaining Chip . Is that the strategy . Not at all. But you cant fix the problem if you just tinker with the immigration in a small way. Reporter just a few months ago, the president said the dreamers need not worry. Should dreamers be worried . We love the dreamers, we love everybody. Thank you very much. Reporter today, the white house said a daca deal must include tough new restrictions on immigration and funding for border security, like the president s wall. But democrats say they already had a deal to fund his wall. They accuse the president of not holding up his end of the bargain, and today, they said their offer is rescinded. Were going to have to start on a new basis and the wall offer is off the table. Cecilia vega with us live at the white house. And cecilia, we saw senator schumer after his lunch with the president , he thought there was progress, thats what he said, before the Government Shutdown. He thought progress on a daca deal, then the whole thing seemed to blow up. Now even republicans say they are looking for clarity from the president . Reporter yeah, david, and they are not hiding it. Today, louisiana senator john kennedy, a republican, said that the president has only given them a general outline for what he wants on daca, but quote, you cant do a bill based on a general outline. That is what kennedy said. They want more specifics, david. As kennedy said today, who wants to pass a bill only to see it vetoed . Cecilia vega from the white house again tonight. Thanks, cecilia.
