Is one coachs secret weapon fashion related . And good evening. Thanks for joining us on a busy saturday night. Im tom llamas. As we come on the air, the president firing off on twitter. Tonight, furious after a federal judge in seattle overruled his controversial travel ban on thousands of refugees and immigrants. That executive order halted, and similar cases in other states using the president s own words against him from his Campaign Speeches in their legal arguments. The president blasting the credentials of that seattle judge, who is a bush appointee. This, as protesters around the country continue to make their voices heard on this divisive issue. And just moments ago, President Trump talking about russian president Vladimir Putin and making a surprising statement. Abcs david wright is in florida with the president , leading us off tonight. Reporter tonight, President Trump on the attack, lashing out at the seattle judge who dared to block his controversial executive order on travel and immigration. Trump tweeted, the opinion of this socalled judge, which essentially takes Law Enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned. My question to you is, have there been terrorist attacks in the United States by refugees or other immigrants from the seven countries listed since 9 11 . Reporter u. S. District judge james robart rejected the administrations claim that individuals from seven predominantly muslim countries pose an immediate threat to the u. S. The judge ruled the executive order would cause irreparable injury if it were allowed to stand. The judges ruling is a lifeline to roughly 60,000 foreign nationals who had their visas revoked. President trumps threeday weekend at his winter white house, maralago, overshadowed. After a round of golf, trump tweeted, what is our country coming to when a judge can halt a Homeland Security travel ban and anyone, even with bad intentions, can come into u. S. . This is a judge who is nominated by president bush, 990, confirmed. How is he a socalled judge . We face a dangerous enemy, inspiring people to come into this country, and the president is determined to use the authority that he has under the constitution and under the law. But doesnt this judge have the authority to do what we did, as well . He certainly does. And thats why the administration is complying with that order as we speak. Reporter today, democrats hailed the ruling, firing back at the president. The way hes reacting is not as an american president who understands american democracy. Hes reacting in a very juvenile and immature way. Reporter its not the first time trump has secondguessed a federal judge, presiding over a case that affects him. But i have a judge who is a hater of donald trump. A hater. Hes a hater. His name is gonzalo and he is not doing the right thing. Reporter during the campaign, he insisted judge Gonzalo Curiel could not fairly preside over a lawsuit over Trump University because of the judges mexican heritage. Democrats are now threatening to make these attacks an issue in Supreme Court confirmation hearings. Senator Patrick Leahy said, we need a nominee for the Supreme Court willing to demonstrate he or she will not cower to an overreaching executive. And david wright joins us live tonight. Another headline we are following. New information tonight about President Trump and his business interests . Reporter thats right. New documents released as part of a freedom of information act request show that trump remains closely d lly tied to his busin empire. Its not exactly a blind trust. The two people who administer it are very close to trump. His eldest son and a top exec ty of the trump organization. And trump remains the sole beneficiary. Tom . David wright at maralago with President Trump tonight. David, thank you. Lets take a closer look now at the legal battle unfolding over the travel ban. Abcs kate shaw joining us now. In this showdown with the president , who has the better case . Reporter well, i would say there are some very powerful arguments against the lawfulness of this ban. Due process, religious discrimination. Now, this is a case that is almost certain, i would say, to end up before the Supreme Court. Theres a real question about whether Washington State is the right party to be bringing the challenge, but if the decision is that it is, i think theres a very real chance that this ban goes down. Kate shaw for us tonight. Kate, thank you. And of course, caught in the cross hairs of these on again, off again travel bans, are the travelers and families desperate to keep up with confusing directives, not sure about the next steps to take. More now from abcs eva pilgrim. Reporter tonight, a race against time to get into the u. S. In boston, a tearful reunion. This son reunited with his 69yearold iranian mother.

So, if there is any window of opportunity, they were going to do whatever possible to take advantage of that. Reporter for this doctor in virginia, uncertainty remains. Hes in the middle of his residency. His wife, a syrian citizen. They told her while she was on the plane that her visa would be cancelled. And she was, like, terrified, even when she was on the air. Reporter her visa canceled, turned around when she arrived in d. C. Last week. I really hope that everything is okay. Reporter her husband has filled out all the paperwork to bring her back, hoping he can get her home soon. I love my husband and didnt want to stay away from him. Thats it.

The conversation turning towards russia. Do you respect putin . I do. Why . Well, i respect a lot of people, but that doesnt mean im going to get along with them. Hes a leader of his country. I say its better to get along with russia than not and if russia helps us in the fight against isis, which is a major fight, and islamic terrorism, all over the world right. Major fight, thats a good thing. Will i get along with him, i have no idea. Hes a killer, though. Putins a killer. A lot of killers. Got a lot of killers. You think our countrys so innocent .
