Nbc news gets an exclusive look inside americas largest detention facility for Migrant Children but with no cameras allow. When you go in, an official from the shelter says to you, to me, smile at these kids. They feel like animals in cages being looked at. Good day. Im Andrea Mitchell. Breaking news from capitol hill. Lawmakers are getting their first look on how james comey handled the Hillary Clinton email situation. Its a political football for the president and partisans on all sides. In the continuing war over comey and other Top Justice Department fishes including former deputy attorney. Back in the president s hometown of new york, hes being hit with lawsuit from the new York State Attorney general alleging the Trump Family Foundation engaged in illegal conduct. Joining me Kristen Welker. First of all, the attorney general report of fire storm of tweets now from the president about that. Tell us whats going on here. Reporter the new York Attorney general in a civil case accusing the Trump Foundation of using the organization for political purposes, for political gain. The Trump Foundation firing back. Let me read you a part of that statement and lets pivot to some of the fwetweets. This is politics another its very worst. They have donated over 19 million to worthy charitable causes, more than it ever received. The president said has contributed more than 8 million. This is what President Trump had to say. One of a series of fiery tweets that we got in this last hour. He tweeted this sleazily new york democrats and now disgraced and run out of town a. G. Are doing everything they can to sue me on a foundation that took in 18 million and gave out to charity more money than it took in. 19 million. Echoing the statement we heard from foundation. I wont settle this case. Schneiderman who ran the Clinton Campaign in new york never had the guts to bring this ridiculous case which lingered in their office for almost two years. Now he resigned his office in disgrace and his disciples brought it after we did not settle. Bottom line, President Trump has no Public Events on his schedule today. Hes clearly paying very close attention to all of these headlines as he now deals with this lawsuit and a range of other legal issues. Of course, the russia investigation and watching very closely his former personal Attorney Michael Cohen amid mounting speculation he might cooperate with prosecutors. This suit in new york gets focus here at the white house, andrea. Reporter for the foundation they are grave. It would be a death blow. Has accused the foundation of being a personal checkbo checkbe they were supposed to be serving the public good. All the the kientnd of great reporting done in 2016. She seeks to dissolve the foundation to have trump pay restitution and theres a referral here to the federal Employment Commission and irs. If any actions were done noegly, they could lead to federal findings. Three trump children did nothing at all as directors and let all the abuses occur on their watches. He is a respected prosecutor that took over the office. Lets switch to this ig report weve been awaiting. What do we know and what do we expect to find out . What we know is the report is going to say had long been expected is james comey, then fbi drirector was out of line when he made a detailed announcement by what he viewed add misconduct by Hillary Clinton. Thats not consistent with Justice Department or seen in interfering with the election. Theres some unanswers questions. Some things we havent heard. What will be report say about the 28day gap. The time the fbi found the emails on Anthony Weiners computer and the 20day gap until james comey told the world and the congress about that which was so close to the election. Why the gap. Thats one of the things im waiting to hear from this report. The whole question of andrew mccabe. Were there leaks from the fbi office in new york city that were referenced by rudy giuliani. He said he have kind of just assuming it. He didnt have inside information. Theres a whole lot at stake here for the fbi. Were all eagerly awaiting this 500page report and will be reading it furiously. Theres a couple of things we need to quickly search for. One is are there any criminal referrals coming out of this. Does it look like anybody violated the law. Second, will it recommend and likely so, any discipline for on board fbi or doj employees. Say for example, pete struck. We know that lisa page who peter was having an affair with has departed but will there be any on board discipline. We have to ask if this journey looked difference or should we be in a different place today. Should we not be investigating russias influence on our campaign. Should we not be investigating corruption at the highest level of a president ial campaign. Would this out come have been different if the behaviors were different to begin with . Thats what ill be looking for. Kristen welker, the political question will never be answered. Theres so many other factors. The failure of the campaign to go to michigan or wisconsin. What happened in pennsylvania. All of those things are factors but in a close election, you and i were together then. Weer o were out there on the campaign and the shock of that reopening. The announcement that was almost worse. Clearing her on that sunday night which resurrected the whole issue. As you know from being on the airplane that day on the way to iowa when it first happened they were not only in state of shock but it flattened any momentum they might have had. Reporter you can feel the energy sink of the out campaign. You and i both noted that at the time. Theres no doubt that when you look back at what happened in and around that time, there were so many different factors, so many different challenges. If you talk to Hillary Clinton herself, a number of people within the Clinton Campaign, they do go back to that moment. They point to that moment as being huge by significant and having a huge impact. They echo what youre saying which is this was such a close election and that in close elections those types of bomb shells in final days can make a big difference. Lets also talk about Michael Cohen because theres been a lot of developments overnight on that as well. We learned that the trump family has been paying the lawyers for this extremely expensive review of all of those emails which has to be done. I believe the deadline is tomorrow. Theyve been working around the clock. We could be talking about a Million Dollars or more in legal fees. Theres been some dispute in changing lawyers. What we dont know is what Michael Cohen is doing and what this signals and whether he is going to potentially talk to the prosecutor and talk about cooperating. As far as we know hes not yet met with Robert Mueller. I think we do know as a fact that hes not yet met. As you say, this first stanl is going to be complete willed tomorrow. Thats an special stage. Well have the beside of materials in play. Very little here shows him as a practicing lawyer. Much shows him as a deal cutter for trump. It might be baby step in the direction of cooperation. He will have to get new lawyer which is hes indicated he will do. People who are expert at sdny criminal prosecutions. Sit down with them and figure out does he want to take a cooperators approach or does he want to take at least for now an arms length approach and if its the former theres many different steps to kind of negotiate with this. I think while theres some sense this is consistent with this becoming a cooperating witness disaster for the president. The other thing were now learning is that where Kristen Welker is right now Rod Rosenstein is briefing the president on this ig report. What are the implications here. Thats an interesting question. This report will give him so fodder. It will criticize james comey. Will he embrace this report or will he reject it. It says there was no political motivation here by james comey, by pete struck. There was no deep state conspiracy. Republicans in congress and trump himself have been calling for a special prosecutor to investigate. What he is saying is the fbi went easy on clinton and set me up in this russia invets gastii. Thats next thing that will be investigated. The surveillance of carter page and whether it started under legitimate circumstances. Is Rod Rosenstein involved in th this . This gets tricky with mr. Rosenstein doing a briefing of president. I hope the president doesnt kill the messenger here if he doesnt like the message. Is the ig report also looking at the president s continuing allegations that comey leaked classified information by writing those memos and having them transferred to a reporter when they were not classified at the time but later upgraded to perhaps secret. Ken might have more on this. My understanding is thats within the scope of the ig report as to how comey conducted himself and whether this qualified as a leak when he provided this memo to a friend and ultimately to the press. Were going to hear a lot about co comeys conduct. The bottom line we need to look for is if the fbi acted in a politically motivated way and whether the out come would be different if behavior was different. Anymore insights on that aspect of comeys behavior as he was doing memos to himself . I believe thats within the scope of igs review. So far we have seen no evidence there was anything appropriate about comey turning over those memos to his friend. Thank you all so much. Kristen, youre going to have a busy day at the white house. Reporter indeed. Thanks for being with me here as we move on. Kristen having coanchored the show for this whole crazy week. Reporter thanks. It was my pleasure. Still ahead, behind closed doors.

Turning to the border battle where 1500 boys are being held in a former walmart. The casa padre facility is pushed to capacity because of this new trump policy separating parents and children opinion the department of health and Human Services did not allow our cameras in but did release these imag images. You have be describing the horrors of this. Talk to us about what you saw. Reporter its a harrowing scene. Theres almost 1500 kids in a former walmart behind me. They are all living there for an average of 52 days and an increasing number of them, up to 30 were ripped apart from their parents, separated from their parents as part of this new zero tolerance policy put into place by this Trump Administration and attorney general Jeff Sessions. Theres an overcrowding crisis as we have all been reporting that will lead the federal government to look to establish tent cities at federal air force bases and military bases and ports of entry because theres too many kids crowding into centers like this. Its a manufactured crisis by the administration because they are the ones that are separating these children saying their parents are criminals for entering the country illegally when the reality is before this point, the only parents and children that are with separated from each other were ones that had committed crimes that were violent. The consequences are whats going on inside that building. They call it a shelter but really Social Security a prisit. The idea of tent cities in texas in the summertime, i can only imagine the heat and lack of proper facilities. What are they being fed . Whos looking after them . Reporter right now its i dont know what the temperature is but it feels like its 100 degrees with the humidity. As you know, here in south texas it gets into the triple digits. Its why, actually, you have people dying in the brush up by the check point here in south texas when they try to evade the border patrol. They will be exposing people to the elements in facilities that might be unlicensed on federal property. The consequences of this policy, we dont know yet. What happens to kids when they go into tent cities. In the 90s, there was a policy prevention through deterrents. Th that resulted in more people dying in the desert. What will happen now when people want to run for asylum and end up in the desert or the brush out here or the desert in arizona. You could be faced with a similar situation. I want to make two quick points with you. Some of these kids are from families, we dont know how many, who are seeking asylum from terrorism, from organized crime syndicates, from the drug lords. Most of these are from central america. They have already trekked through mexico to get to this border. This is all discretionary. The speaker of the house said, well this was a court ruling. This is not a court ruling. This is Jeff Sessions, a unilateral decision to take this policy, correct . Reporter as a matter of fact rkt this unilateral decision by Jeff Sessions cited a culture of violence in central and south america which removed Domestic Violence and other factors from granting asylum. The violence down there is perpetrated by gangs like the 18 street gang and ms13. They were export frd the city of los angeles in the 1990s. Thats american violence down there that they are running from. Jacob, your reporting has been extraordinary. Thank you so much for joining us and for keeping an eye an all of this. Thank you.

An extraordinary image today released by north korean state tv not captured by american cameras at the singapore summit. The president of the United States saluting a fully uniformed north korean general. Take a look here. There he goes adding to disturbing comments praising the strength of kim jongun. Welcome. First to you. I want to talk about the salute. We saw the president in 2012 for a stiff bow. This is fully uniformed general. What people are saying, military experts is he should have been briefed by his military aid. Theyre going to issalute you. Dont salute back. Its clearly a mistake in protocol. They are using this for propaganda value. Its being cycled over and over on state tv. Part of the pageantry of their leader on the world stage. This plays into that narrative. Im a bit more forgiving. The american president is the american president and others should respect that and the american president should understand the protocols that go along with that. I think the bigger question coming out of summit, the question is does this become the moment where the north koreans are let out of the box. Does President Trumps willingness to be overly kind, overly gracious and make a mistake in terms of protocol, does this send a signal its okay to engage with the moenort koreans. Are they let out of box prematurely in way that does damage to our leverage and ability to negotiate the details of what the president says he wants and what secretary pompeo laid out which is splecomplete verifiable and irreversible denuclearization. I was reading on twitter donald trump said its all safe now. Why you trying to scare us juan . The president tweeted theres no longer a nuclear threat. This is what admiral harry harris had so say about that no longer being a nuclear threat. That threat is real, right . It is real. Do you think we no longer need to worry about north Koreas Nuclear threat . We must continue to worry about the nuclear threat. That speaks exactly to what youre speaking. The salute was a refl
