President trump is shaking up his communications team, and just hours layer they had to deal with a new blow in the widening russia investigation. On friday sean spicer announced his resignation.

Paula reid begins our coverage in norfolk, virginia. Good morning. The white house team. The President Trump criticized his attorney general and hes lost two. Leaving the pressry scrambling for answers. The president has absolutely nothing to do with any of the allegations that are being made. I think hes maintained that. Reporter the newly appointed press secretary said the president is ready to put the special counsel investigation aside but just a few hoyer later the weathercast post rorted that u. S. Intelligence intercept shows that Jeff Sessions discuss Campaign Matters including policy issues important to moscow with the Russian Ambassador in the 2016 race. The spokeswoman said he stands by his previous testimony that he never spoke with russian officials about interfering with the. Ka pain or the election. Earlier this week the president criticized sessions for recusing himself from the russian investigation. He should have told me before he took the job and i would have chosen somebody else. Theyre reportedly seeking new ways to discredit counsel. I can say the people who have been hire ready all Hillary Clinton supporters. Reporter they have undercut bob muellers investigation for weeks. People should know what their passions and motivations are. Reporter and the president expressed that its now reaching into the personal and business finances, issuing a warning to mueller. But the special counsel has a broad legal mandate to explore, quote, any matters that arose or may arise during the investigation. On capitol hill any white house effort to block muellers investigation was met with bipartisan dismissal. He would see a tremendous backlash response from not only democrats but also republicans. My view is firing bob mueller without cause is a violation of the rule of law. Reporter the president s senior white house adviser and soninlaw Jared Kushner is expected to testify by the senate and intelligence house committees but it will be behind closed doors. The president s son and Paul Manafort have avoided deals to testify for now. Anthony in. Thanks. President trump praised sean spicer a the departer white house spokesman gave his resignation.

Reporter in the first on camera briefing, newly appointed Communications DirectorAnthony Scaramucci continually praised his new boss. Taking questions for more than 30 minute, he took aim to reset President Trumps public image. I think there are at times a disconnect between the way we see the president and how much we love the president and in the way you perhaps see the president. Reporter his debut was in stark contrast to youtd going press secretary shaun speiers who the tay after the inauguration scolded the press on the audience. It quickly became the inspiration for Melissa Mccarthys impression of spicer on saturday night live. All right. Let me put this whole russian thing to bed once and for all. Trump is innocent. How do we know . Because he told us so, period. Reporter in an interview on hannity, he said it was time for a fresh start. It was my opinion that i give anthony an scaramucci, grew up middle class on new yorks long island after stint at Goldman Sachs and his own investment firm, last year scaramucci began hosting a weekly finance program and making regular appearances on the fox business network. Hes a hack politician its where early in the 2016 campaign he was actually a vocal opponent of donald trump. Youre an inherited money dude from queens county. Bring it, donald. He brings it up every 15 seconds, okay . One of the biggest mistakes i made. Mr. President , if youre listening, i personally apologize for the 15th time for saying that. Reporter it will fall on scaramucci and sarah Huckabee Sanders to defend against the deepening russia probes. Something he refused to discuss today. I think its important on my first day standing here that i dont go into that direction. Reporter scaramucci said he is close personal friends with trumps lawyer jay second you low and john dowd. That will bring consistency over questions over the russia investigations. Whats unclear is how scaramucci will work with reince priebus. Scaramucci says the two are like brothers although he like to rough each other up. Anthony . For more on this mornings headlines, were joined by jake sherman, coauthor of politicos newsletter. Good morning. Good morning. I want to start with Jeff Sessions and the latest news that the Washington Post is reporting about him. His staff said at the beginning of the week when donald trump was critical of him seemed tenuous. How do you think this affects him . The problem is meeting with the Russian Ambassador is in and of itself a bad thing and testifying that he didnt is a bad thing. Theres a lot of speculation that this could be a leak to help push him out. His situation is obviously very tenuous. The president is clearly not happy with him. Hes not in the room with him. He used to be a key adviser and is no longer a key adviser. What does that mean for how he can deal with donald trump . Its difficult to see how he can on a personal level and professional level. The president values loyalty and Jeff Sessions in the president s eyes has not been loyal. Along those lines it is the a. G. s office that will be in charge of the special investigations. If its not sessions, what does that mean for the special investigations . Theres no supervision. Listen, if donald trump wants to push Jeff Sessions out, hes going to have a huge fight on capitol hill on his hands to get a new attorney general, something he cannot afford at this point. Do you think the senate would resist in pushing him out . I think the senate will have a lot of questions. Weve seen Senate Republicans increasingly skeptical of donald trump, willing to question him. These are all factors that will be in play if he has to choose a new attorney general. You raised the issue of loyalty. Yeah. Anthony scaramucci yesterday was very open about saying i love the president , im loyal to the president. Was that his chief qualification, do you think, because he doesnt have a Communications Background . Two points here that are in direct conflict with each other. Number one, hes going to be a good press secretary for the president because hes loyal and willing to say things others arent willing to say. He went out on the first day and talked about the president hitting foul shots. He has no government experience. The staff is filled with people who have no political experience. Very good experience in other quarters. Scaramucci is a huge open question. You mentioned hes director of communications, not just press secretary, so it has that impact on everybody else as well and the messaging. Is this another reset were seeing . The New York Times makes a good point. Its not a purposeful reset. Its definitely a reset. Sean spicer was expected to stay on. The president thought he would stay on. Its definitely a reset but not something they had in mind. Is it also a message for those who are more the washington types, raeince priebs as well . Its a message to him as well, things are changing, you better get in line or you might be in trouble. There are reports that the president has been shopping around for a new chief of staff, and we know there was resistance to scaramucci within the white house, so what essentially is this saying, do you think . I think that theres a lot of palace intrigue without a lot of backup. Theres been shakeup stories in newspapers by People Like Us for a long time and there hasnt really been a shakeup. I think it will be very difficult for the president to find somebody to make reince priebuss place. Professional political operatives look at this white house and they see a president that does not follow any guidance. He does whatever he wants, so why would you go work for a person who wont follow any of your advice. I think thats something that a lot of people that i talked to are cognizant of. One of the things were going to see next week, Jared Kushner goes to capitol hill, will be testifying behind closed doors. You have donald junior and Paul Manafort who have given up some documents. What do we expect to see . I would guess the president is going to be agitated by this kind of thing. These people are extraordinarily close to him, at least kushner and his son, and i think this is going to eat up a lot of the week. The president is say issihas a , has not passed almost any of it. Last week for a congress in session that hasnt done much. This is going to take up a lot of narrative mindset going into this august recess. Health care on the back burner there. Jake, we appreciate it. The Minneapolis Police chief is out after one of her officers shot and killed an unarmed woman. The pressure is now squarely on the mayor of minneapolis.

Officer mohamed noor, sitting in the passenger seat, fired his gun past the drivers seat, killing damond. On thursday, the chief sought to distance the department from noors action. I believe the actions in question go against who we are as a department, how we train, and the expectations we have for our officers. That wasnt enough for some city leaders, including mayor hodges who asked for hartos resignation. The fact that neither officers responding to the 911 call had their body cameras on has raised even more questions about the department.
