Reporter trumps signature project, that wall, doesnt come cheap. An estimated 8. 3 million per mile for fencing alone, according to an independent government report. Democrats say to build and secure it, the price tag will reach 14 billion. As for the other promise who is going to pay for the wall . Reporter easier said than done. Trump says taxpayers will foot the bill until mexico coughs up a hefty reimbursement. The president on nbc news. There will be a payment. It will be in a form. President doubling down on his pledge not to pay. Saying in a televised speech late wednesday, ive said time and again, mexico will not pay for a wall. Trump is also drawing scrutiny for his position on torture techniques like waterboarding. I have spoken at least 24 hours ago, with people on the highest level of intelligence. And i asked them the question does it work . Does torture work . And the answer was yes. Absolutely. Reporter but the president says he will defer to his top defense and intelligence officials, who have both disavowed the illegal methods. Reigniting the debate, a draft of a plan to reopen classified cia black sites, closed under president obama, where terror suspects were tortured.

Peter alexander at the white house. Kellyanne conway, counsel to President Trump. At the white house this morni good morning, matt. Mexicos president says no way. His country is not going to pay for the wall. Not the first time he said it. Is President Trump going to risk the taxpayer money without the guarantee that were going to get it back . President trump has been clear on this point. He will build the wall. And mexico will pay for it. Whether they pay for it straightout, or its reimbursed after congressional funding. Lets talk about what the wall means. Its a construction of a physical wall on our southern border. In addition to it, were allowing more tools and resources for our Law Enforcement officers, and our border agents. But this payment issue, kellyanne, is a big issue. Were talking about billions and billions of dollars. President trump says we will be reimbur reimbursed. It might be in a complicated form. I have time. Explain the complicated form to me. Its the fifth or sixth day on the job, matt. And hes hes had a year and a half to think about this and explain it he has many times. And the voters responded and elected him. We welcome the mexican officials here next week. We know it will be a productive but farreaching conversation. And we know that americans are tired of people and drugs spilling over the borders into our communities. Thats what this is about. Its about being a sovereign nation. The United States of america spends billions protecting other countries borders. Its time we spend money to protect our own. You say hes explained it. As late of yesterday in the interview, he says it will be in a complicated form. He didnt specifically lay it out. Im asking you, can you do that . Yes, i can. And he will. And he wants to give the deference to his meeting with the mexican president and other mexican officials before he announces that. We welcome to washington. Its hardly breaking news to talk about the complications of funding new projects. Thats what that is. Yesterday was important for many reasons. He madod that helped him in the primaries and the election. Hes going to take the money away from sanctuary cities. Kate stylely ought to be a national name. She was murdered by an illegal that was deported five times. Why he was harbored in a sanctuary city. The president said he heard from people that torture works. His secretary says he is against it. His newly minted cia director said in his confirmation hearing, he will not restart the enhanced interrogation program. And he cant imagine he will be asked to do that by the president. Will you guarantee me that the president will defer to those two gentlemen and not go back to that chapter in our history . He said as recently as yesterday, as these gentlemen get confirmed in the post. He will consult with and perhaps defer to his cia director and his secretary of defense. Obviously, opinion within the community because President Trump also told abc news david muir, he has talked to other people in the community, that believe it does work. Obviously, he will be meeting he will do what leaders do. He will meet with his own National Security and defense team. And make a judgment. Let me end on this question of this investigation into alleged voter fraud. 3 million to 5 million people, President Trump says voted illegally in the last election, costing him the popular vote. It seems like an ego issue to him. Ask i ask you this. Would you put your credibility on the line with that claim . Would you agree with that claim . I hardly think its an ego issue. One person, one vote, is a hallmark of our democracy. Pete alexander admitted that the registration roles are a hot mess. Thats not voter fraud. Thats what talking about. Why not have an investigation . What is everybody afraid of . He said he put his evidence on the he would like to put his evidence on the line, have an investigation. And i just want to correct a part of your reporting. I talked last night with Tiffany Trump. And she said it is flatly false she is registered in two states. And i recall talking with tiffany through the fall when she was making sure she could reregister in new york to vote for her father. She had been registered in pennsylvania and went through the process. Said it was very byzantine. And took a long time. What about steven bannan. Is he registered in two states . He didnt vote in two states. Doesnt it prove the point that people that follow the law, they havent been purged from the roles. No. It proves the point that you can be registered in two states and not vote illegally in two states and sway an election . Theres no evidence of that. I mean, matt thats what the president claim. He claimed that these people voted illegally. Hes claiming that people do vote the roles. People here illegally and should not be on the roles. I would ask everybody, including your network, was so excited to cover jill steins recount, which was completely bogus, and a sock to the taxpayers. When she wanted a recount in wisconsin and michigan, everybody thought it was a good idea. Why was she recounting . She said there was fraud at the ballot. Didnt the president come out and say there was no evidence of fraud and that recount was unwarranted . And thats what the judges thought. It was a big embarrassment. But jill stein, miss woman of the people, ended up pocketing a lot of money for future endea r endeavors. To call this an ego trip for the president of the United States, when he is the leader of our democracy, and he wants to make sure that the undergrading hallmarks of our democracy, one person, one vote, i appreciate hes doing it without a campaign on the horizon. Well look into what you just said about tiffany, to m kellyanne. That came from her. Thank you, matt. Thanks very much.
