Thank you. Want to bring in our Washington Team chief justice correspondent Pierre Thomas and jon karl. Evidence that russian bots stirred up division in the same way they did during the 2016 election. This follows a pattern. The russians have been very active since the election every time there is a recent controversy where theres been the nfl taking a knee issue which involved President Trump, major issues of race, immigration and gun violence theyve tried to intensify the debate. Last week the nations top intelligence officials reminded that the russians are still meddling and that theyre coming into the 2018 midterms. Its an ongoing and not a surprise that they would try to take advantage of that horrific tragedy in florida. Reports of twitter accounts suspected of ties to russians and exacerbating feelings on each side of the gun debate. It is to inflame passions. Its what the Justice Department calls an Information Warfare and an assault on our very democracy. Exploiting divisions already there. Jon, those divisions evident in our new poll with the Washington Post and Shows Americans united on being unhappy with washington and 77 saying congress not doing enough and 62 saying President Trump not doing enough. Reporter theres a real interesting number in this poll about who they see is to blame or whats to blame for the shootings. First of all, regarding the parkland shooting specifically, 58 of those surveyed said that it could have been prevented with stricter gun control but look at this, george, 77 , much more say it could have been prevented with better Mental Health monitoring then when we ask the question about Mass Shootings generally, this is very interesting, 57 said that Mental Health, inadequate monitoring of Mental Health was more to blame and 28 say inadequate gun control and, george, as for the big proposal that you hear so many talking about, an assault weapons ban, the country is evenly divided on that, almost exactly evenly divided between those opposing it and favoring it. We are seeing President Trump open to more background checks, new legislation on background checks . Reporter yeah, he has his press secretary suggested hes in favor of something to strengthen the background check system. There is a bipartisan proposal on that. Its also something that is that the nra favors so not exactly a new gun control measure. On another front his on again off again relationship with mitt romney now a u. S. Senate candidate in utah back on . Reporter it is back on. He is announcing he is running for senate and the president made it clear following that announcement he is endorsing and supporting romney. Thinks hed be a good addition to the senate and romney appreciates that endorsement but as you remember, romney, during the Campaign Said this about donald trump. Donald trump is a phony, a fraud, his promises are as worthless as a degree in trump university. Apparently those are now words th that, well, water under the bridge. The president focusing more on the school and gun violence for the irs of the week. Reporter he is including tomorrow we are told the president will hold a listening session with students and teachers, High School Students and high schoolteachers, no details from the white house as to exactly who will be here, but it will be a listening session at the white house with the president. Okay, jon karl, thanks very much. Michael. We bring in chief legal analyst dan abrams and, dan, were seeing images of these teens going to face lawmakers about gun control and nikolas cruz bought seven guns all legally and all legally so give us a reality check of what gun control measures could make a difference. You have to look at it in two way, the possible laws that target people and then the possible laws that target the weapons themselves. When you talk about the people, youre talking about enhanced background checks and it seems that some form of either making sure that the current laws are better enforced or enhanced background checks could have a decent chance of getting passed. The assault weapon legislation gets trickier. We used to have in 1994 to 2004 we had an assault weapon ban. The problem is how do you define an assault weapon . Meaning you can change one little thing on a gun, a pistol grip and turned an illegal assault weapon into a legal weapon so this is tricky, tricky stuff that gets down into the details and is incredibly divisive. Im sure that is the case. We turn to the court case for nikolas cruz. His defense attorney said, you know what, if you take the Death Penalty off the table, well plead guilty. Is that a possibility . It is a possibility. I think the first thing prosecutors are going to want to do is talk to the families of the victims. They dont have to. Its not up to the victims to decide. But in a case like this it is the first thing you want to do and say, look, if we can spare you having to go into court and having to testify, is it worth us taking the Death Penalty off the table . Theyre going to survey, i think, all the victims in the case first to figure out how do they feel about it before making a decision. They dont have to agree to Something Like this. They can move forward and decide were still going to prosecute. Were still going to win the case and still pursue the Death Penalty. But ultimately the prosecutors decision. It is, absolutely. And on gma yesterday i spoke with kimberly and snams snead who took nikolas cruz in for three months before that happened and asked him what asked them what he was like at home when he was there with them. Nothing like they portray on television or in the media. Yeah, everybody seems to know we didnt know. We didnt know. We had rules and he followed every rule to the tee and he was very polite. He didnt he seemed normal. You hear them say there he seemed normal. I asked that morning was there anything out of the usual. No. Does that help the prosecution. It could if he pursues an insanity defense. Part of the defense is he didnt understand right from wrong and hear the parents saying, yeah, he understood right from wrong. The parts say they didnt know anything not the parents but the family but there are a lot of other warning signs out there. One of the other ideas being talked about and i havent heard a lot about it in the past is the idea someone who sees a friend or Family Member exhibiting dangerous signs can seek a restraining order now against that person. Yeah, thats right and the closer the relationship, the easier it is to pass legislation that makes sense meaning we cant sort of pass laws across the board that say anyone who sees something risky or something suspicious is legally required, now, you can say if you have a very personal relationship, its a parent child or something egregious, et cetera, thats a different issue, but, again, it gets tricky in terms of defining when do you cross that line . Okay. Dan, thank you very much. Absolutely, oh, yeah. Its tricky, difficult, but, come on. We got to move forward. These students are sticking to it. They would say even if you do something, thats right, no matter how big it is, that thats important. Even the age limit. Why does a 19yearold need an assault weapon . Cant buy a beer in florida but can buy an assault weapon. All right, thank you, gentlemen. We shift our focus to that extreme weather across the country, 30 states coast to coast slammed with snow, flooding, ice and now more dangerous weather is on the way. Rob, youre going to track that for us. Good morning. This is a huge allencompassing system, energy driving down across the northwest. Moisture streaming up from the southwest. Into the great lakes.

Our Senior National correspondent matt gutman is in south korea with the latest. Good morning, to you, matt. Reporter hey, good morning, michael. An this doping incident might have had a direct impact on american athletes. A male slovenian hockey player failed a drug test on the very same day that his team beat the americans 32. Now, that athlete has been suspended from the games. Hes kicked out of pyeongchang and the drug that hes accused of having used is an asthma medication. Now, a japanese speed skater has also been ejected from the games after failing a drug test and olympic officials here tell us that they have instituted what is arguably the most strict antidoping regimen in history, every single athlete at these games is tested and then anyone who wins a medal is tested yet again and that is what happened in the case that has rocked the curling world. That is the case of a russian male curler in the mixed doubles team who was failed two drug tests and he accused of having doped and been kicked out, ejected and now the russians risk losing their bronze medal which they wong in that mixed curls doubles. I dont want to minimize curling, but why are you doping in curling . We did research. Its much more strenuous than you think. Vigorous brushing and when you deliver the stone down that ice you have to have absolute precision so stamina actually does matter and it might be worth noting that this russian athlete who failed those two drug tests has said his drink was spiked. He said one of his teammates actually sabotaged him and now the Russian Olympic Committee says its investigating because it has found no evidence that he systemically or intentionally took any drugs. Michael. All right. When i was covering the game, i did curling. It is very vigorous. I wouldnt dope for it. Im agreeing with what he said. It looks harder than it actually is. I get it but come on.
