Im aman alongside yasmin and lewis burgdorf. We begin with the latest on the saga of President Trumps summit with kim jongun. A u. S. Delegation is in talks with north korean officials in the korean border town of. A separate team is in singapore per the white house. You may recall thursday thank you trump sent kim a letter due to anger and hostility. Trump tweeted, quote, we are having very productive talks with north korea about reinstating the summit which if it does happen will likely remain in singapore on the same date, june 12. And if necessary will extend beyond that date. And on saturday trump had this to say. Take a listen. I just want to mention were doing very well in terms of the summit with north korea. Looks like its going along very well. I think theres a lot of good will. A lot of people are working on it. Its moving along very nicely so were looking at june 12th in singapore. That hasnt changed. It is its moving along pretty well. Well see what happens. Trump added on sunday, our United States team has arrived in north korea to make arrangements for the summit between kim jongun and myself. Kim jongun agrees with me on this, it will happen. So, south korean president moon jaein met with kim on saturday in a surprise summit on the north korean side of the dmz. His second face to face with his counterpart and their first meeting on the northern side. After the meeting moon said that north Korea Remains committed to a summit with the u. S. In addition to, quote, complete denuclearization. Lets talk a little about this and go live to seoul, south korea, with nbc news correspondent Janice Mackie frayer. Good morning, janice. A lot going on and a lot of confusion to say the least. Where do we currently stand on the trump kim summit and what is happening, and what is the view from south korea on all this . Reporter well, it is tough to keep up and there is a sense of urgency around these working level meetings that are happening because there is still so much uncertainty on whether this can come together in such a short period of time. Just two weeks. Importantly are those talks that are happening at the dmz between u. S. Officials and north korean officials because they are working on the agenda. Its being led for the u. S. By former u. S. Ambassador to south korea sung kim, also a former nuclear negotiator. He has experience and he has history with the people hes meeting with. That said, to hammer out an agenda for a summit that will have, of course, the historic photo op, but is also supposed to produce a workable agreement, thats going to be tough. And to do it in just a couple of days. The central issue remains trust and this seemed to be the driving reason behind that summit that kim and moon jaein had on saturday. It was a complete surprise. But it was something that kim wanted to have in person, a discussion he didnt feel could happen over the hot line that the two had established recently. So, what were seeing here is moon emerging in more of a mediator role and there is a lot of speculation today, yasmin, moon could be in the room if kim jongun and President Trump do meet. Yeah, that would be very interesting to say the least. It is now just the count down really to june 12 and seeing if and when it actually happens. Janice mackie frayer for us. Thank you. Meanwhile at least one republican senator remains kept c skeptical about the entire situation. We have a leader in kim jongun who has almost an emotional attachment and a personal psychological attachment to these Nuclear Weapons. They make him feel prestigious, they make him feel powerful. This is a man who has to figure out how to survive in power for 50 something years as a dictator and is afraid if he gets rid of these weapons at some point someone is going to take him out. Ultimately i remain convinced he does not want to nuclear eyes in fact he will not denuclearize. Senator rubio later followed that up with this tweet saying, for the sake of peace i sincerely hope i am wrong about kim jongun not being serious about getting rid of his weapons, but so far i have seen no evidence that i am wrong. At real donald trump has handled this very well so far, but the most difficult part lies ahead. All right, lets switch gears here. President trump has taken the hunt for leakers into his own hands. The Washington Post reporting trump has recently been hunting for white house aides who have shared damaging information with journalists and that leakers be caught and be punished. According to administration official, trump has privately confronted aides about leaks. Questioned who the culprits may be and mused that quote, someone should be made an example of. Trumps hunt for leakers has been motivated by a recent string of National Security related disclosures as well as reports about Communications Aide kelly sadlers insensitive comment about john mccains brain cancer. Meanwhile axios reporting shortly after the comments trump gather sadler, mercedes and john kelly in the oval office according to sources familiar with the gathering. During that particular meeting in which the door to the oval office was actually left open, trump asked sadler who the leakers were and she said one of the worst was her boss, Mercedes Schlapp. She pushed back aggressively and defended herself against the allegations. And President Trump also took issue with the quote provided by the background Communications Office and aimed to discredit the reporters on saturday. The president tweeted the new failing the New York Times, quotes, a senior white house official who doesnt exist as saying even if the meeting were reinstated holding it on june 12 wouldnt be possible given the lack of time and planning needed. Wrong again. Use real people, not phony sources. But the source was, in fact, a senior white house official speaking to a large group of reporters in the White House Briefing room. A briefing that nbc news took part in and recorded on the agreement that the official would not be named and the audio would not be broadcast. All right. So, President Trump sent nine tweets over the weekend to attack special Counsel Robert Mueller and the fbis investigation of his campaign, including this odd tweet on sunday morning. Quote, who is going to give back the young and beautiful lives and others that have been devastated and destroyed by the phony russia collusion witch hunt . They journeyed down to washington, d. C. With stars in their eyes and wanting to help our nation. They went back home in tatters. The president s chief surrogate Rudy Giuliani continued the trumps mission to discredit the special counsel. Were more convinced as we see it that this is a rigged investigation. Now we have this whole new spygate thing thrown on top of it. An investigation we thought was rigged was rigged from the very beginning. It never should have started. Im not saying mueller is illegitimate. Im saying the basis on which he was a pointed was ill legitimate. You think the Mueller Probe is legitimate . Not any more, i dont. Were defending here it is for Public Opinion because eventually the decision here is going to be impeach, not impeach. Members of congress, democrat and republican are going to be informed a lot by their constituents, our jury, as it should be, is the American People and the American People, yes, are republicans largely, independents pretty substantially, and even some democrats now question the legitimacy of it. All right. Republican senator Cory Gardener has warned President Trump that the white house and Congress Need to act fast on immigration reform. The urgent message was delivered in a phone call earlier this month. Gardener told politico he recalled telling the president the sweet spot for getting an ilt grags deal is now. Certainly post election the more difficult it will be. If we wait longer the more difficult it becomes. Theyll blame it on both parties at that point. Gardeners warning comes as senators in both parties have begun to restart back channel talks across the aisle and with the white house in hopes that the chamber will be ready to act if the house or the courts throw the issue back to the senate later this summer. However, with a number of unresolved disagreements, lawmakers are increasingly concerned that the senate could be blind sided by a vote later this year. All right. Joining us now from washington is politicos daniel lit man, author the politico play book. Good to have you with us on this tuesday. Thank you. Lets turn back for a moment to north korea with the u. S. Team both in singapore and inside north korea preparing for a potential summit despite the mixed messaging coming out of the white house. It seems things have not changed. How are things progressing, do you think . Are we going to see trump and kim jongun turn things around or are we still to take the president that this summit is not going to happen . I think, you know, all bets are that this summit is going to happen. You know, trump had a little bluster late last week pretending that he was cancelling the summit and yet still sending the White House Team to negotiate the summits terms. But when the summit does happen, if it actually happens, we should be looking at what actually is accomplished. There was a big report about how this is not going to be a quick and dirty, you know, get rid of all the Nuclear Weapons in one year. This is a 15year process and thats according to a senior government advisor who is the most knowledgeable about these weapons. All right. Lets switch gears here. I want to talk about this push to sort of bring the leakers out in the white house. President trump dialing up his hunt for the leakers inside the white house. Whats behind the president s push on finding what hes calling traitors . He probably should look in the mirror first because he has leaked the most in the white house. The problem with the push is that he got a lot of blow back from criticizing the New York Times for quoting his own white house senior official at a background briefing that the white house sanctioned. And so sometimes you can have unintended consequence and, you know, make journalism seem like its fake when its actually this was a common white house practice. But i think hes just tired of the negative News Coverage and he wants to kind of set an example of someone and fire someone to try to prevent leaks from happening in the future. And blame someone. Yeah, it seems like all the leaks are always very critical of the president. Its something always embarrassing to some extent. Its not positive news. All right, daniel lit man live in washington. Well touch base with you in about 30 minutes or so. Stick around for us. Thank you. Lets talk memorial day. President trump began memorial day with a tweet that had the ring of his political rallies. Happy memorial day. Those who died for our great cunanan through will be very happy and proud at how well our country is doing today. Best economy in decades, lowest unemployment numbers for blacks and hispanics ever, and women in 18 years. Rebuilding our military and so much more. Nice trump then began tweeting quotes from fox news about the russia investigation. About an hour and a half after the president s tweet, retired army general and former joint chiefs chairman Martin Dempsey posted this. Quote, this day, of all days of the year, should not be about any one of us. No matter how prestigious or powerful, no matter how successful we perceive ourselves to be, rather this day should be about those who gave their lives so we could live ours in freedom. Meanwhile, former president h. W. Bush was at a hospital in southern maine. The 41st president and world war ii veteran tweeted out very much regret missing the memorial day parade today in Kennebunk Port and im forever grateful not only to those patriots who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation, but also the gold star families whose heritage is imbued with their honor and heroism. All right. Still ahead, everybody, shocking weekend for some. The search continuing for a veteran washed away trying to help a woman in that massive flash flood in maryland.

Welcome back, everybody. Officials in maryland are holding out hope the National Guards man who was washed away in the devastating flash flood in maryland is going to be found alive. 39yearold eddy hermand was swept away sunday while trying to help a woman find her missing cat. Witnesses say they saw him go under the flood waters and never resurface. This is the second catastrophic flood to hit a historic Ellicott City in two years. In 20162 it was called a thousand year flood only for it to happen again over this past weekend. One of the biggest questions now is whether the city founded in 1772 should once again try to rebuild. So there was a lot of weather stories to be tracking out there. We are also tracking Tropical Storm alberto which is threatening to bring floods to the southeast. For that we want to turn to nbc meteorologist bill karins. Bill . Good morning. Between 16 tornadoes yesterday, hit 100 degrees in minneapolis, the Ellicott City flooding, you just dont see pictures like that. You typically like ever. Then alberto has been a very, very busy period over the weekend. These are the remaining pictures from Ellicott City area. A lot people Pay Attention to one in 1,000 year flood. Everyone is like how can you have two one in 1,000 year floods bhin twithin two years o other. There is a percentage every year of having a flood like this. This area, if its a 1 chance of a flood like this, that would be one in every 100 years. This would be. 001 chance going into every year. Horrible odds. You look at the topography of the area, 7 inches of rain, in the mountains, you can see how it could happen if you look at a topographic map. Lets talk about alberto. 50 miles west northwest of alabama. Now heading toward montgomery. Its weakened. The winds were never a problem. This is the path of the storm as we go throughout the rest of today, tonight, into tomorrow. Along that path we still have a chance for flash flooding. Its been very wet in this areas as we are going to get another one to 3 inches of rain as much as 4 to 5. That will cause issues. We feel roughly 29 Million People under flash flood watches from panama city up to louisville, kentucky even to the mountains hereof North Carolina and virginia. You can see that path near the center as it spins its way up. Thats where the heaviest rain is. Thats one to 3 inches. Isolated totals could be higherment well have to watch what areas to the west of montgomery this morning and the mountains of north georgia and mountainous areas, high terrain of South Carolina later. I expect tornadoes, a few of them at least in areas of Central Kansas and oklahoma, those storms should weaken towards tulsa. At risk 5 Million People at risk of severe storms. A lot of busy weather, and warms up in areas of the east. New york today 87. Thanks for that, bill. We have an incredible story of heroism here. Theyre calling him the spiderman in a dramatic video taken in paris on saturday. 22yearold scales four stories in seconds to rescue a dangling fouryearold as two people in the adjoining unit struggle to keep him on the ledge. The boy had reportedly already fallen one story before he was saved. An undocumented immigrant arrived in france last year after crossing the Mediterranean Sea to italy. A dangerous route taken by thousands of african migrants every year. The french president manuel macron thanked him in person offering him citizenship. Also given a gold medal and offered a job with the paris fire department. The child sustained minor injuries and is expected to recover. His father is being investigated for leaving him unattended. The paris prosecutor said the father had taken a long time to come home because he decided to play pokemon go. Wow. Given the headlines we hear about migrants into europe and the negative, it was nice to see a positive story and this man given the credit he was due in french media by the french government. Im glad that story is getting out, exactly. Still ahead, everybody, outrage after the Trump Administration reportedly lost track of imMigrant Children after separating them from their parents. Now the president is blaming democrats for the policy that his administration is enforcing. Plus t
