Vossoughian. Im nbc News White House correspondent jeff bennett in for ayman mohyeldin. During what was largely a solemn day of remembrance President Trump lobbed political attacks while on sacred ground thursday. During an interview with fox news at an American Military cemetery in france to commemorate dday trump alleged special Counsel Robert Mueller testified which to Public Knowledge he has not and then sent a letter about it. The president tossed out disparaging comments and nicknames about mueller and democrats all with the backdrop of rows of head stones. They thought their good friend Bobby Mueller would give them a great report. It came out with a report with 13 horrible angry democrats biassed against me. Do you mind if he was the . He made such a fool of himself the last time because when people dont report, the letter he had to do straighten out his testimony because the testimony was wrong. Nancy pelosi doesnt talk about it. Nancy pelosi is a disaster, okay. Shes a disaster. I will tell you the more successful weve become the more angry people like nancy pelosi become. We have crying Chuck Schumer is who is a disaster. A political jerk. Well joining us now from ireland, hans nichols. We played a bit of the lows. We had highs of the speech. But within a few hours the president will depart ireland and heads back to washington. How did his trip across the pond go . Reporter well, alex, the president mentioned he had great weather. We have some great weather here today. Theres speculation the president may play some golf today on his final day and that may explain why hes actually here in ireland. Were hundreds of miles away from normandy but he used this as his base to attends to dday ceremonies. In looking at the overall trip it almost seemed like two trips. The president did three countries. He had the state dinner which the president enjoyed. Every opportunity he had, he talked about it. His mind in a lot of ways was still back in washington, d. C. Throughout this trip he weighed into domestic politics, airi ii grievances. When he gets back he has to make a decision on tariff. He wants to make mexico pay. He seems comfortable living in with a world where those tariffs are imposed. The decision on that is for monday. Some progress was made and the president hasnt been tweeting on this, this morning but well see if theres any updates on that throughout the rest of the morning before he heads back to the states. Maybe the focus is on golf. Nbcs hans nichols thank you. As democrats call for impeachment, House Speaker nancy pelosi told her caucus she doesnt want to see President Trump impeached she wants to see him in prison. Citing multiple unnamed sources politico reports Speaker Pelosi made the comment in a tuesday meeting with several House Committee leaders. Judiciary chairman Jerrold Nadler pressed pelosi to allow his panel to launch an paechlt inquiry but Pelosi Stood Firm reiterating she isnt open to the idea of impeaching trump at this time. Now nbc news has confirmed pelosi said quote i dont want to see him impeached i want to see him in prison while politico didnt characterize the full tone of the comment a congressional aide tells nbc her remark was quote consistent with her position that trump needs to be removed electorally in 2020. After uproar spurred by an exclusive report from nbc news former Vice President joe biden is abandoning a long held position about abortion. For more on this lets bring in the author of that report, Heidi Przybyla. Joe biden was in atlanta last night along with the other 2020 candidates and thats where he abruptly changed his decision on the Hyde Amendment, an ban on abortions except in the case of rape or incest or to save the life of a woman. It came after our report on which the Biden Campaign reaffirmed his support for the restriction. Facing a swift backlash from abortion rights activists and at least 12 of his rivals for the 2020 democratic president ial nomination, biden began his remarks at a dnc gathering with these comments. Take a listen. For many years as u. S. Senator i have, i supported the Hyde Amendment like many others have. But now we see so Many Republican governors denying health care by refusing medicaid expansion. I cant justify leaving millions of women without access to the care they need and the ability to exercise their constitutionally protected right. If i believe health care is a right as i do i can no longer support an amendment that makes that right dependent on someone else. This is a dramatic reversal from just 24 to 48 hours ago from when i asked the Biden Campaign if he still stood by the Hyde Amendment. They said yes. We saw this onslaught of attacks from his 2020 rivals. This has to be a whole 2020 election. This is the reason hes doing this . This is clearly in reaction of the current context of the aboring debate. Last night our colleagues did manage to pull aside some of bidens advisors. Look there was not a decision on this until literally minutes. Before biden took the stage. His aides didnt know what he would do. When he spoke he said look, i have to evaluate my position from the moment in which were living and the moment in which were living right now is a moment in which womens access to abortion rights are under dramatic assault in a way weve not seen since the inception of roe in terms of funding for planned parenthood being pulled back, all these states passing these laws effectively trying to end the right to abortion. Totally. He said at one point that a womans right to Reproductive Health services shouldnt be based on her zip code. This will have a Ripple Effect among all democratic candidates. It will have a Ripple Effect because it takes away a talking point. He stood alone in the field, alex. We could not find when we did our story a single other democrat that still supported the Hyde Amendment which was a change in the times right now because in the past many of these democrats have gone along to get along just to pass these annual spending bills, hyde has always been part of these annual spending bills. Now they are saying nor. This is a different moment where we have to go to the mat to protect abortion rights. So lets talk about nancy pelosi, because people close to the House Speaker have been saying for weeks and months that when it comes to impeachment theres no sleight of hand. What nancy pelosi says in public is what she truly believes and what she says privately. Now were learning, of course, she told her colleagues there privately that she wants to see donald trump in prison. What are people supposed to make of this . That was an offhand comment, jeff. Were now learning that was in response to her defense of her position that she does not want to pursue impeachment proceedings at this time. Listen the water is getting hotter and hotter for nancy pelosi on the hill because she has more and more defections within her caucus in terms of going towards an impeachment inquiry. At the same time nancy pelosi is a shrewd tactician and she knows she doesnt have the votes for it and wont pursue an avenue that will result in an embarrassing defeat in the house. By golly she has to get it through the house. The problem is her plan to build her support among her caucus is being foiled by the witnesses who refuse to testify. The plan was to have the Mueller Report rolled out. She knew probably all the American People were not going to read page for page this report but if they colette it come to life in terms of the testimony by the witnesses she could build that public support but they are not coming. Thanks for your time this morning. Well talk to you again in just a bit. Yesterday shortly before he and other World Leaders marked dday with the normandy cemetery as a backdrop, President Trump spoke about americas place in the world. Were the piggy bank. United states is the piggy bank. It has all the money that others want to take from us. They are not taking it so easy any more. When youre the piggy bank that everybody steals and robs from and they deceive you, like theyve been doing for 25 years, tariffs are a beautiful thing. He also questioned whether mexico is really an ally of the u. S. Been making billions of dollars. Theyve been making an absolute fortune on the United States. Im dealing with mexico right now. They send it 500 billion worth of drugs. They kill 100,000 people. They ruin a million families every year. If you look at that. Thats an invasion without the guns. They need us we dont need them. They are an important ally of the United States. The Trump Administration has been ambiguous about what it would take to avoid applying tariffs on mexico saying initially it will be at our discretion and on an ad hoc basis. The president tried to clarify his stance yesterday. Weve told mexico the tariffs go on. I mean it too. Im very happy with it. As i go into the room with the mexicans im asking for everything. If they dont do it well put the tariffs on. One thing with the tariffs, when those tariffs go on, companies are going to start moving back. Once they know they will stay on companies will move back to the United States. They took 32 of our car industry. Every single one of those plants will move back into the United States. With that monday deadline looming in a statement yesterday press secretary Sarah Huckabee sanders said that quote our position has not changed and were still moving forward with tariffs at this time. Still ahead with his sentencing looming, Michael Flynn fires his legal team. Well bring in our legal analyst Danny Cevallos for that discussion. Democrats may be one step closer to holding the attorney general and commerce secretary in contempt after subpoena demands were denied. Those stories and much more coming up next.

President trumps former National Security adviser Michael Flynn has fired his legal team ahead of i had sentencing, sparking speculation he may pull out of his plea deal with the government. Court filings offered no explanation as to why the lawyers were terminated and revealed their information client has already retained new lawyers. The move comes as a federal judge prepares to sentence flynn for pleading guilty about lying about his conversations. According to politico flynns decision at this late stage is unusual and has triggered speculation hes considering backing out of a plea deal he struck with Robert Muellers team. Flynn previously argued that muellers team used deceptive practices to trick him into pleading guilty. A federal judge yesterday ordered the release of a voice mail left by then trump lawyer. Happened in november of 2017 after learning flynn was pulling out of a joint Defense Agreement with the president. Maybe im, im sympathic. I understand your situation. But let me see if i cant state it in starker terms. If you have it wouldnt surprise me if youve gone on to make a deal and work with the government. If on the other hand theres information that implicates the president , then weve got a National Security issue, or maybe its a National Security issue, i dont know. Some issue, weve got to deal with not only for the president but for the country. So, you know, we need some kind of heads up, just for the sake of protecting all interests if we can without you having to give up any confidential information. So, if its the former remember what were weve always said about the president and his feelings toward flynn and, that still remains. All right. Danny cevallos is here. Those are a couple of issues well want to get to. The first one being Michael Flynn fires his lawyers just as the judge is about to sentence him. What does that tell you is that smart . This happens. Sometimes defendants feel frustrated, they feel they dont have any control. Its not that unusual for a defendant to fire his lawyers. Just before sentencing yes its unusual. You have to remember flynns situation. When he went into sentencing originally he was the best candidate possible for probation only sentence. His guideline range was zero to six months. The government, the prosecutors recommended a low end sentence, thats zero months. He was a slam dunk for a probation sentence. He gets to the sentencing and the judge says no, no, not so fast. I might consider giving you prison time. His mind must have been reeling. Months on he may blame his terms for characterizing what the government did as harassing him or persuading him or harbinto cooperating. Im not so sure hell back out of the plea deal. Everything in his conduct has been setting himself up to gate probation only sentence and spend zero time in jail. Lets talk about this john dowd tape. He was the best attorney the president of the United States could get at the time. To the substance of the tape, what impact could the release of this voice mail will have in flynns criminal case . Not so much in flynns criminal case but globally. Lets take a step back. Does anyone remember leaving a voice mail that long in the last five years . Nobody. I make a lot of phone calls. Voice males are something that can be, especially nowadays can be forwarded and cause you problems. Look, i think john dowds explanation is plausible because he was inquiring whether or not hey are you still in this joint Defense Agreement because if youre not you got to let us know. Thats pretty common. But, obviously, people have interpreted that as being more nefarious, as a veiled athlete. Just in general leaving a voice mail like this is not a good idea. Im sure he wishes he could have that back even though he doesnt believe he did anything wrong. I dont know it will affect flynns sentencing. The issues are crystallized. Not likely to change much. Flynns end goal is still just give me a straight probation sentence. Danny cevallos, thanks for your time. Still ahead the government is taking new action to stop robiocalls.
