one of the things that the committee did focus on was this trip that carter page, the former trump foreign policy adviser took to russia last year in july 2016 during the heat of the campaign season. one of the things that we are now learning is that carter page floated the idea of then-candidate donald trump taking that trip indeed, saying this in an e-mail to jd gordon of the trump campaign saying i have another idea, if trump would like to take my place, of course, i would be more than happy to yield this honor to him. at the same time we re learning a little bit more of who he talked to. he spoke according to his sworn testimony, cory lewandowski, and jd gordon about this invitation. he told jeff sessions about this trip even as jeff sessions didn t disclose that to the committee. page suggested that he just mentioned sessions in passing, but he also told sam clovis, who was then a national campaign chairman of the trump campaign, and clovis himself made him sign a nondisclosure agreement as part of this campaign. now, when he was on this trip, anderson, one thing we have now learned is that page many met with a deputy prime minister of russia, one of the senior officials in the kremlin. this is significant because page for long publicly said very that he did not meet with anyone on this trip. he downplays this meeting. at the same time, he said this trip to moscow was not campaign related, but he e-mailed the campaign afterwards saying pretty clearly that he would be willing to brief them on it and also ask the campaign ahead of time was there anything they suggested him to say during his speech to help with the message of the trump campaign, so that s raising questions from lawmakers after that testimony, anderson. talk about how carter page s story has changed over time about this trip he took to moscow. when i interviewed him, he said he was just meeting with professors and that s really what it was about, had nothing to do with the campaign. but if he s do you know how long this meeting with this russian official was? in every interview he kwibld about what a meeting actually is, just saying hello to somebody, is that a meeting? was this a sitdown? do we know more details? he describes it in his testimony as an innocuous interaction, something that sort of happened almost in passing. he doesn t get into detail, but questions were raised because in this testimony he initially said he didn t meet with any government officials, but then he was presented with an e-mail that he wrote on july 8th to senior trump officials talking about some incredible insights and outreach he received from senior members of the presidential administration here, and that raised questions didn t you just say you didn t meet with any officials and page says that he did. he s referring to the deputy prime minister of the russian federation. again, he s downplaying those meetings and he blatantly denies he did anything wrong and he was not involved in any collusion and he rails against the obama administration for getting a surveillance warrant to listen in on his communications last year. nevertheless, that question about that meeting he had raising some questions as well as his efforts to try to brief the trump campaign and get direction from the trump campaign about what to say when he went to russia, anderson. fascinating details. manu is going to go through all these documents. now to texas and everything we re learning about the deadliest church shooting in american history. a man walked into first baptist church in sutherland springs, texas, and killed 20 people. we are not mentioning his name or do authorities tonight. brian todd is on the scene. what are you learning about the shooter? reporter: some new information we ve been able to put together from authorities and others, just paint ago portray of this killer who was a young man with a history of domestic violence and had a litany of things compiled against him over the years. there was clearly a conflict between the two families, meaning his family and his inlaws, specifically between him and his mother-in-law. officials telling us today that he had developed anger toward his mother-in-law and issued threats to her, that he sent threatening texts to her. one official telling us the mother-in-law received a text the morning of the sunday shooting, but the nature of that exact text has not been revealed yet. we were told by authorities that the inlaws did attend the first baptist church, they were not there at the time of the shooting. they got there after the shooting. we re told his wife sometimes attended church there. in addition, anderson, he has a history of domestic violence we ve been reporting on, the assault and battery charge while he was with the air force that led to a discharge for bad conduct. also we learned of the charge of animal cruelty when he lived in colorado in the colorado springs area in august of 2014, a neighbor called and reported he was abusing a dog, a husky he was beating around the head and neck area and dragging the husky. the shooter denied the charge at the time but assessed summons to appear in court but he never received jail time three years ago for that incident. the portr a man with resentment towards his inlaws and not averse to issuing threats, even to his own mother-in-law. there were two people who rushed to engage the shooter. that s right. two good samaritans came upon the scene. as he was emerging from the scene, two samaritans confronted him, one specifically had an assault rifle similar to the one the shooter was using. they exchanged gunfire. and that man described hiding behind a car exchanging gunfire with the shooter. then the shooter took off in his own vehicle. another man pulled up in a truck and the man who engaged the shooter flagged him down, got in the truck, and the other gentleman described the scene. they chased after him for ten to twelve minutes. they called for him to get out of his car, he did not. that s when authorities believe he took his own life. he already suffered wounds according to officials from the samaritan to the torso and leg. even at that point he was disabled. heroic efforts by both of them. more on the killer s violent past. his court martial conviction and whether that information found its way onto a dab db that might have prevented this individual from obtaining firearms. tell us what he was accused of doing and convicted of doing in this court martial. we ve seen the documents pertaining to his conviction in this court martial in 2012 where he was brought on assault charges against his then-wife and stepson. he was accused of assaulting their stepson so violently that the force used in that assault could have resulted in death or bodily harm. there were other charges that involved aiming loaded firearm at his-then wife. there were two incidents of that and other firearm incidents which were dropped. he was sentence today 12 months in a military prison in california. after he got out he was discharged under a bad conduct discharge and was separated from the air force. again, those very serious assault charges the domestic violence charges, he was convicted. because he was convicted, he should have been pro-inhibited from buying auto firearm, correct? yes. he s supposed to be referred to a national database to prevent anyone who s been convicted from ever purchasing a firearm. the air force today acknowledging it doesn t appear the office of special investigations at holman air base put that entry point into the d raising questions as to has this ever happened before. the air force is launching a review to see how exactly his name was not put into the database and how he was able to continue to purchase framz. the department of defense is launching their own review into this issue, looking at previous cases to see exactly what went wrong here and how someone convicted of domestic violence was allowed to purchase multiple firearms. ryan brown, appreciate that. there s the ongoing story that won t be answer by investigations or new procedures that reality is the incredible loss. one wanted to be a neoicu nurse. i spoke with her mom, charlene, and sister, cami. tell me about hailey. what kind of a daughter was she? she was amazing. she was very vibrant. she had a great future ahead of her. she had big plans. it was all cut short. she wanted to be a nurse? she wanted to be a nurse in the nicu because she loved to work with babies. was that something she always wanted to do? yes. and she couldn t wait to graduate high school so that she could start her future. cami, how would you describe hailey? what kind of sister was she? she was kind of annoying. she was really sweet. whenever you needed something, she was always ready to jump up and do it for me. what else do you want people to know about hailey? she was amazing and we re going to miss her. how do you deal with something like this? i don t know. we re trying to figure it out. a piece of me is gone. we ll never be the same. cami, is there anything else you want people to know about your sister? not really, just that she was really sweet and she was the best sister anyone could ask for. a gofundme page has been set up for the family. hailey krueger, texas church tragedy. the goal, 15u$15,000 to help wi expenses. more on the killer and the man who kpanexchanged gunfire. he spoke with our affiliate news in northwestern arkansas. the people of that church, they re friends of mine. they re family. and i heard a shot, and i knew that probably represented a life. i was scared to death. i was. i was scared for me and i was scared for every one of them. i was scared for my own family that lived less than a block away. i m no hero. i am not. i think my god, my lord, protected me and gave me the skills to do what needed to be done. and i just wish i could have gotten there faster. but i didn t know, i didn t know what was happening. extraordinary what he did. steven will ford traded gunfire with the killer and as he fled wanted to continue the chase, had no vehicle, which is where johnny langua johnny lang ford came in. johnny, what you ve done is extraordinary. walk me through what happened. i know you were pulling out of the gas station when you saw the shooter. yes, sir. actually i had pulled out of the gas station and taken side street that led to the residential street to the intersection where the church is. and hybrthat s when i saw the shooting start and i stopped to see what was going on. and what did you see? the man who was firing his weapon at the shooter, he came up to your truck. had you seen him before shooting at the shooter? no. i had seen the shooter coming from about where the cars were parked at the church attendees vehicles were. on the opposite side of the road i had seen mr. will ford coming and shooting back with his rifle. so he came up to your vehicle and explained what had happened. and what did you say? he very briefly explained what happened and he got in and said follow him, follow him, and i said let s go. you didn t have any hesitation? no, sir. how long do you chase the shooter for? it was anywhere from, like, 10 to 13 minutes because it was around 11 or 13 miles. it was roughly a mile a minute. we were in heavy pursuit. every time i looked at the speedometer it was 95. were there a lot of cars on the road. were you weaving in and out of traffic? it s a small country road. there was traffic, but there was a bit of weaving, yes, sir. finally when you find the vehicle again, how did it all come to an end? we had gained on the vehicle enough and we got to keep up with him for a while until finally he started to slow down. we thought he was going to come to a stop, but when he slowed down, he just took out a street sign and from there he sped up again and lost control of his vehicle hitting the guardrail. and then from there it went into the bar ditch. and then what? and then once he hit the bar ditch i got close enough that i felt safe, but we could still be in range to see him but still be safe if he came out wield ing a pistol or anything. the second i stopped, mr. will ford jumped out, mounted his rifle on my head, aimed it at the vehicle and was telling the guy to get out, get out. there was no movement in the vehicle after that. the man never got out. there was never any gunfire exchanged. about the same time we stopped more traffic was coming, so i had to go from the safety of the vehicle to stop traffic just in case there was going to be any cross fire. so you were exposed? briefly, yes, sir. how soon did the police get there? they responded very quickly, especially coming from another county. they were there within five to seven minutes. i assume a lot of officers had to respond to the church. did you call 911 or either of you call 911 while you were driving? yes. i called dispatch once he crossed the intersection over 87 from the which you need to let them know we were northbound 539 in pursuit of the shooter s vehicle. and i just i kept them updated where we were and where he was. from my brief knowledge, you know, it seems that cops were all going to be called to the church and not i didn t assume anybody had seen where the driver went. johnny, knowing what you know now, would you do the same thing over again? i would do it 100 times over, sir. when we come back, president trump speaks out about the shooting in terms of mental health, not guns. reaction from minnesota senator al franken next. jay chooses to run every day. no matter what it brings. or where he is. and pain doesn t hold him back. thanks to dr. scholl s running insoles. the only ones proven to relieve and prevent pain from runner s knee, shin splints and plantar fasciitis. dr. scholl s. born to move. if you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis,. .isn t it time to let the real you shine through?

one of the first things he did as president was sign a bill that got rid of a provision that made it harder for people with mental illness to get guns. do you think anything will actually change? well, i hope so. obviously, you know, our thoughts are prayers go out to the folks in texas. but as president obama said, thoughts and prayers aren t enough, and people have to continue to make their voices heard. i thought after sandy hook we could get close the loopholes on background checks. if anything would allow that to happen, sandy hook would? i thought sandy hook because you had six-year-olds, 20 six-year-olds. but now we ve seen this rash, las vegas, now this. i was a co-sponsor of dianne feinstein s assault weapons ban. what does it takes to have something change? is it a question of nra lobbying money? the beliefs of the gun culture in america? i would ask my colleagues to just, you know, take a moment to think about this and think about closing loopholes. that s not going to stop every one of these, but if it stops one or makes one less bad, or stops two, i mean, that s the whole world. think about all these people. the air force said they re conduct ing a review of whether or not this experience s court martial and the charges he was convicted of would send him to a military prison for a year were actually sent to a federal database which would have prevented him because he had done domestic violence. they re conducting a review. initial indications seems like that information wasn t sent over. does that change this in any way for you? had an existing law been followed, this person would not have been able to get a gun? yeah, i mean, the air force needs to investigate this and find out if they re not doing this in every case. if someone has committed domestic violence, they should not be able to purchase a gun. i want to ask you about what s going on with the judiciary committee. how important is it for him to come back. he seems to have a real problem answering truthfully when asked about his meetings not even ask. he volunteered. turned out me met three times. do you think he was honest or forgot? you know, he said when the washington post came out with the story saying he met with kislyak, his stories keep changing. one of his speculations was in hindsight i should have been more patient and said, yes, i did meet with them. he obviously did remember it. and then he actually testified back last month and said in that hearing that he didn t think that any surrogate from the trump campaign had met with any russians. and so i asked him, what about general flynn? what about jared kushner? what about paul manafort? what about donald trump jr.? i mean, you know. now we know about george papadopoulos. george papadopoulos who at a meeting chaired by jeff sessions, papadopoulos said i ve been meeting with the russians, and i think i can arrange a meeting between trump and putin. and jeff sessions said, no, don t do that, and don t anyone talk about that again. that sounds like something you would remember, doesn t it? and this is important. this is a foreign power interfering with our elections. that goes at the very core of who we are as a country, as a democracy. and he needs to be straight with us. senator franken, appreciate your time. good to be here. our political panel aways in on the texas shooting and what if anything it does with the gun debate in this country. we ll be right back. one is the that you ll ever need staying ahead isn t about waiting for a chance. because one is. it s about the one bold choice you make that moves you forward. .that you ever need the one and only cadillac escalade. come in for our season s best offers and drive out with the perfect 2017 cadillac escalade for you. get this low mileage lease from around $899 per month.

i do. i tend to think the reaction by this president and others in response to terrorism seems to be let s do everything we can regardless of what may work and what may not. there s a focus on the part of a lot of republicans including this president to say with regard to the gun debate, let s not do things that don t work and we know are not really the core of the problem. in this particular reaction i do think president trump was onto something. now, i do think this is an issue of guns, but i think the issue of this killer s mental state is relevant and may get us into a conversation on the need to focus on how we can keep people with mental health illness getting access to guns. i recall colorado going down this road effectively within the past five years where they made inroads on piercing some of the privacy restrictions to get law enforcement more access, maybe that s something that can start a conversation. after virginia tech we recognized in virginia that this is a guy that had interacted with the mental health system and was not caught in the proper process. the process fixes that we talked about, did the discharge get into a record system accessible to texas, those are things that can and should be fixed so we can effectively enforce laws we have on the books. but one of the issues, and you just touched on it in the mental health area, is the privacy issues. and hip pa part of it is perceived challenges of hip pa. people are so paranoid that they don t share anything. what if you are engaged in domestic violence and the link between domestic violence and not being able to get a gun? wouldn t that seem to be sort of a basic thing? yes, if the air force had done its job, but you know, we are ought to be able to do that. i go back to sandy hook, and you couldn t get the loopholes on the background checks closed. you couldn t get an assault weapons ban, and there were democrats who voted against an assault weapons ban, so it was bipartisan. at this point if congress continues down that road and we continue with these shootings, no matter whether you say, yes, in this particular case, it wasn t the rule, it couldn t have been avoided, et cetera, at some point the first responders i think have to come out and say to ken s argument, follow existing laws. but there have been provisions that have been put in place that we put in place under the obama administration, and that president trump actually turned back and one of them is related to mental illness. that was one of the recommendations after newton, which was that if you were getting a check from the social security administration and you re unfit to handle that, if you re mental impairments prevent you from being able to do that, you shouldn t be able to buy a gun. that s something president trump rolled back in february. when he says we should address mental health, absolutely we should, and david s right there s a lot that should be done, more money for mental health, more parity, about the same time, there are common steps we can take. if you get money from the government, you lose this right without a hearing on the subject? it s amazing how blasé you are about that and the president was about that. and i m someone who wants to utilize every tool out there with the mental health net. but at the same time, you still have to abide by due process. if you have undertaken domestic violence, if you are a terrorist, if you are somebody who shouldn t be qualified and isn t in a position to have a gun, should you have a gun? that s pretty common sense. agreed. the new york times and the upshot blog did an article a couple weeks back where they interviewed both people and experts about what people want to see. what stood out was it wasn t gun restrictions on number of rounds in a magazine or the types of guns. what is it that people are most concerned about are making sure the criminals and the crazies don t have access to guns. in this case it s uncognizanceble someone convicted of domestic violence and spent a year in the brig can somehow get their hands on a weapon like this. fortunately, thank goodness, this is a terrible tragedy, but someone was there to stop this man from going and committing additional murders. i think there s frequently many on the left will go to a knee jerk we need to get rid of all guns and this goes into a gun control debate. but the most important thing is somebody s a criminal or they have serious mental issues, they have a history like this, we cannot allow them to have guns. when we come back we ll have more on what carter page told investigators about russia. manu raju looked over more transcripts from page s. the details in a moment. the ue to your plan strengthened your retirement score. so, that goal you ve been saving for, you can do it. we can do this?

that s right, anderson. we re learning more about this trip that carter page took to moscow in july of 2016 and what he told investigators in roughly a seven-hour testimony last week. he has long maintained this trip was something he took as a private citizen and was unrelated to the campaign. we re learning about the number of officials in the trump campaign who were well aware of exactly what his plan to go overseas and speak at a conference in moscow and some interactions that he had with at least one senior russian official at that time. he acknowledges in this testimony he spoke to several key members of the trump campaign. he said he told then-senator jeff sessions about it and now the attorney general and sam clovis, the national co-chairman of the campaign, but also cory lewandowski, the campaign manager who said it s fine for him to go as long as it s not campaign related, as well as hope hicks who is now communications director and a former foreign policy adviser j.d. gordon. in addition to that, page reached out to the campaign and said i can make my remarks tailor made based on if you have suggestions on what i should say. and then afterwards, he sent an e-mail saying i ll send you a readout soon regarding some incredible insights and outreach i received from a few russian legislators and senior members of the presidential administration here. he s only acknowledged meeting with arcady, but the suggestion he may have had conduct with more government officials, and we just saw another nugget of him acknowledging meeting with a russian energy official from one of the major russian energy giants, this despite his denial of a key assertion in a dossier listing allegations of collusion and coordinations with russians, that dossier did show a meeting with a russian energy official. he acknowledged meeting with at least one russian energy official at the time, but he downplays all these interactions saying they re mostly in passing and certainly no collusion he insisted throughout this system. it sounds ad at odds with what he was pitching to the campaign that there was insights that he learned. that doesn t sound like just a passing in the hallway kind of interaction. that s right. whether or not he s been forthright in his public statements and is differing in his private testimony, but interestingly, anderson, this invitation for him to go to russia came after he joined the trump campaign, much like george papadopoulos to go interact with is these russians came after he joined the trump campaign. so we ll see how other members and other people think if that s significant or not. gloria, yet again, carter page. surprises us. i interviewed one once or twice and it all blends together. all the stuff he says, it does seem different than what he s saying now under oath. he told you he did this on his own, that he didn t interact with high-level people in russia, and that whatever meetings he had were of absolutely no consequence and that he wasn t involved at any high level when they campaigned. he would never say who it was within the campaign that gave him permission to go, but seems like from that he was in communication with a lot more people in the campaign than i would have guessed based on the whole role. it s a little like george papadopoulos, seems to me they re kind of the same there. what was stunning about this stuff we learned tonight is the e-mail manu just read, i ll send you a readout from my incredible insights and outreach i received from russian legislators, that was an e-mail that he sent to his campaign supervisors, but he did not give it to the committee even though he was under subpoena to do so. they found it and they presented him with it and he had never given it to them. so he might be in some legal trouble there. jason? anderson, i have to kind of laugh. you forgot to mention when you met him at the gym, apparently. he brought that up and i had no memory of it. if you send an e-mail to a half dozen people, that doesn t peen you re in regular communication with these people. it means you have an e-mail address and put it in the to line. i would have said go to russia and don t come back. this guy is a step above a reality show contestant. he had no real day-to-day involvement with the campaign. he was trying to demonstrate value. i m sure to the extent anyone even read his e-mail, okay, fine, this guy wants to go talk with academics, fine. he s never been, according to himself, never even met. never even met the president. although he claimed for a long time in the russian media he had been in meetings with the president and then he said he was using the russian term of the meetings maintaining rallies. i think it was in, like, iowa. he s like the kato kaelin. he told the committee he learned this stuff from russian tv. i think what s hard is, it s hard to really understand how all these pieces of the puzzle fit together, if they do fit together and how you straight that out from some attempt on self-agra self self-aggrandizement on the part of juniors. they certainly would have had ties to paul manafort with whom the kremlin had done business in ukraine, and michael flynn who may be in more legal jeopardy. they had higher-level contacts if they wanted that entree. that s one of the things i said when the indictment came out. this is the guy, paul manafort, who has all these preexisting networks he can tap into. if there was going to be determined collusion, that s where you would expect to see it. could they file more charges later? in theory, yes, but that would be somewhat unusual in a situation like this, except for the obtaining of leverage. but i would say page looks a lot like papadopoulos in one regard, and that is that they both look like they ve got this really grand notion in their own head, and they re pursuing it and talking to various people in the campaign, kind of a one-way conversation. you get cory lewandowski, sure, take your trip, just make sure it isn t associated with the campaign. and they re suffering from the chaos, nature of the campaign here. i don t think there s been a long explanation by trump defenders saying it was chaotic, we don t even know any of these people, we ve never heard of them. that is something that comes up frequently. i m not saying that was the totality of your explanation. but in this case we ve seen a theme that s consistent. nobody could remember any meetings they ever had, and all of a sudden when people are under oath, they remember and they remember they had meetings, e-mails emerged. there s a lot we know now that we didn t know six months ago. in all likelihood, papadopoulos and our friend today are bit players who will play them in the movie, maybe they ll have small roles, i don t know. the question is what are the higher-level people, what did they know? what were their meetings? it s possible that some of them will have information. what were he doing, maybe you can answer this works jason. what were doing on any kind of advisory board to donald trump? what was papadopoulos doing sitting at that table if he was sort of a low-bit player. they all wanted to be involved in russia. if they re a bumbling of wannabes, why? they needed to come up with names. none of these people were anywhere. do you have a foreign policy adviser. there were guys who put out a statement saying we won t do it so we needed names. i think early on back during the primaries they were looking for people and some people clearly didn t have the qualifications and sbhohouldn t on the list. papadopoulos was 29. what kind of foreign policy experience did he have. later on he got some real military people who came on board and helped out. it got more professional later on. an update on the wounded from texas, also the healing in south texas tonight. the 14 people are still hospitalized after a mass shooting that killed 26 people in sutherland, texas. the latest on the patients who are being treatment what have you learned about them? well, anderson, it is still a great deal of trouble and concern for the vast majority of the people who were brought to hospitals in the moments after that rampage at the church in sutherland springs, east of san antonio. this is one of the two main hospitals here in the city that has accepted the majority of the gunshot victims. there are still about 14 people in all that are hospitalized tonight. ten of those people in critical condition. and at this particular hospital, university hospital, here in san antonio there are two children and one adult still in critical condition. and we re told by medical officials here in san antonio that the majority of these people in critical condition suffered gunshot wounds to their lower extremities and in their abdomen, so these are serious wounds that they re dealing with. a number of them have gone through secondary operations here throughout the day in surgeries. so a great deal of concern for many of them who are still fighting for their lives tonight. anderson. and in terms of those who are in other hospitals in the area, do we know about them? we haven t this is the hospital that has given us the most specific information on what those conditions are. there are p patients here in all. there are another eight patients at brook army medical center and ten of those people, as i mentioned, are between both hospitals are in critical condition. and, you know, we re well over 30 hours past this attack, so, you know, the concern for those particular people is still of paramount concern for those medical doctors treating those gunshot victims tonight. you spoke to a number of people there. how is the town coping with this?

this is cnn tonight. i m don lemon. it s just after midnight here on the east coast, but already tuesday afternoon in south korea. president trump is there, air force one landed at oh san air base about 90 minutes ago. he then boarded a helicopter, took a quick trip to camp humphreys where he had lunch with korean troops. i want to bring in now cnn s senior white house correspondent jim acosta, who is in seoul and will ripley, in pyongyang, the only american network correspondent in north korea s capital. jim, you first. president trump arrived in south korea just a short time ago as tensions on the peninsula are high. what s the latest? well, right now, don, as you mentioned, he s ats camp humphreys. he s going to be receiving an operational briefing. they will be briefing the president on the situation in north korea. obviously that has been escalating in terms of these tensions between the u.s., president trump and north korean dictator kim jong-un. in that meeting right now in that operational briefing as it s called right now the chief of staff john kelly, national security adviser h.r. mcmaster, don, we do expect some brief remarks. we ll be waiting to hear what the president says. so far he hasn t said much. he s talking now and i think we can probably listen in for just a few moments, don. yeah. we re going to listen to the president. i m sorry. the next nine days. as you know, we just got back from japan where we had a very successful two days. today will be pretty busy and tomorrow also. and then we head to china, and i look forward to that. there s great cooperation. we have a terrific meeting scheduled on trade-in a little while with president moon and his representatives. and we will hopefully that will start working out so that we create lots of jobs in the united states, which is one of the reasons, one of the very important reasons i m here. in addition to that, we will be meeting with the various generals about the situation in north korea. and i think we have lots of good answers and hopefully it will all work out. it has to work out. so i want to thank you all for being here. we appreciate it. thank you very much. we re going to see you in a little while. and i think about 4:30 we re going to separately meet with you. i hope you re as impressed as i am. this is a very impressive group of people. these are very impressive people. so general, thank you very much. thank you. thank you very much. so just holding on a little bit to see if the president would answer any of the reporters questions. he is at camp humphreys where he is meeting with both japanese and american troops there on the ground. u.s. and korean troops, pardon me, on the ground there. just about 90 minutes ago.se - jim acosta, you were speaking before the president i so rudely interrupted you, but president trump is meeting with russian no, that s okay. president vladimir putin later this week. the president wants his help with north korea, right? that s right. and you heard the president there just a few moments ago saying that he believes things are going to work out with the situation in north korea. they always work out. don, that is not how people here in south korea view the situation. you know, we ve been talking to people on the ground here in south korea. they have been living with this threat posed by north korea for some time now, but what has really sort of thrown a question mark into all of this, an uncertainty into all of this is president trump s really tough talk, this bellicose, confrontational brink man ship rhetoric with north korea. and he mentioned this press conference that s going to be coming up in a couple of hours, dop. i think the very big question hanging over this president s trip right now is whether he engages in this kind of rhetoric that he s been engaging in so far, like referring to kim jong-un as rocket man and talking about the u.s. having the ability to totally destroy north korea. that will be something to watch because the south korean president, president moon, don, is not a huge fan of that kind of rhetoric. he wants to lower the temperature here in south korea, not raise it. but you mentioned vladimir putin. that s right. that is going to be the other fascinating thing to watch in a couple of days, don, when the president goes to vietnam. the president said a couple of days ago that he expects to sit down with vladimir putin, of course, we re all going to be talking this in the context of the russia investigation, but the president trying to shift of the narrative a little bit, saying he wants to talk with putin about this issue of north korea to see what kind of leverage the russians can provide because so far, don, and this gets into the president s next stop in china, china s president xi jinping has not been able to in the view of this administration been able to really change kim jong-un s behavior. and so that is going to be fascinating to watch. we see president trump and vladimir putin sitting down together or at least standing together talking to one another at this apex summit coming up in vietnam. don, we re coming up on one year since the election of president trump, and hanging over the president ever since that night, and you and i remember it well in mid-town manhattan, one year ago this russia investigation has just been dragging on for this president, hanging over everything that goes on with his administration. and finally we ll see the president and vladimir putin face-to-face for a couple of days. he says they want to talk about north korea but there s so much more we ll be reading into with body language and the statements made by those leaders. will, you re going to be reporting from north korea for the duration of president trump s trip to asia. how is north korea reacting to this? well, you notice, don, the president s measured tone just now with his remarks about north korea and he was somewhat measured when he was speaking in japan over the past couple of days, but honestly, it may be too late from the north korean perspective. more importantly for the north koreans, the fact that in the coming days three u.s. aircraft carriers will be engaging in yet another round of joint naval exercises. and those are carrier strike groups. so this is a massive show of u.s. military force happening in the pacific and the north koreans are watching this and they have said they don t like they can talk with the trump administration. diplomacy has completely broken down and they ve been saying for weeks now that they need to deliver a clear message to president trump that they have afternoon intercontinental ballistic missile intercontinental ballistic missile that can reach the u.s. they ve threatened a long-range missile launch. at research facilities the watchdog group 38 north reported activity at the nuclear test site. could this be when the time when the north korea decides to send that strong message when president trump is here in the region and then what will his message be. one misstep, miscalculation will trigger a series of events and take this part of the world and really the whole world down a very dangerous world. how is north korean media covering president trump s visit? it s interesting, because they are covering it. there was a new article just out today, you know, warning president trump and the united states not to underestimate the abilities, the nuclear arsenal of north korea. they say doing that would be a big mistake. and yet you see the pictures in the news lately much north korea s leader kim jong-un, the big headline over the weekend, he was inspecting a cosmetics factory. you can read into this that perhaps because it s been more than seven weeks since north korea has conducted a live fire military exercise they may be trying to project to the north korean people that they haven t forgotten about the economy. telling people to brace for the impact of more sanctions. they blame the united states for the sanctions, not the behavior of the leadership in this country. and this could be perhaps trying to let north koreans know they re trying to develop their economy. at the same time preparing them for this new round of testing that we know is going to happen eventually because north korea says they need to round off a nuclear program and that means another test and missile launches. will ripley, thank you gentlemen. i appreciate it. breaking news tonight in the russia investigation to tell you about. i want to bring in now senior congressional correspondent manu raju. hey, don, a lengthy transcript released tonight by the house intelligence committee giving new details about a closed door testimony that happened last week with the former trump foreign policy adviser carter page in which he went into detail about his knowledge about russia, but specifically about a july 2016 trip that is under scrutiny on capitol hill. a trip that he took to moscow. he long contended was a private trip. nothing to do with the campaign. according to his testimony released tonight he does acknowledge having an interviews with a russian deputy prime minister under vladimir putin. now, he also sent e-mails to the campaign about the trip, saying that he d be willing to give them some valuable insights about the trip from people who are connected to the raurp government and senior legislators in russia. now, he down played that e-mail that was revealed in this transcript, saying that some of these exchanges were pleasant riz and some of these things that were picked up were heard in a conference that he attended. but democrats in particular belief that he may have contradicted himself in some key areas of this testimony. now, what was also interesting is the level of interaction that he had with senior members of the trump administration about this trump, including hope hicks, new communications director, corey lewandowski, as well as he sent an e-mail suggesting that then candidate trump could go to russia and deliver a speech in his place rather than carter page himself. now, page also met with a senior energy executive at the time of that july 2016 trip, even though he has long rejected a central assertion on the so-called dossier of trump russia allegations that included this meeting with an energy official. turns up he did meet with an energy official while he was there with ruft russian giants. the question is how does this fit into the broader piece of russia collusion potentially with the trump campaign. he strenuously pushed back against there was no collusion. he also met with robert mueller recently, the special counsel, as part of his investigation. don. thank you very much. the white house may want to pay attention to cnn s new poll about the russia investigation. chief national correspondent john king has the numbers for us. john. well, don, we all know the president says russia is a ruse, a hoax. the american people flatly disagree with the president. 64% of the american people in our new cnn polling say the russia investigations are a serious matter. we polled him, don, we know he d be in this camp. 64% of americans say this is a serious matter. now, there s a partisan break down on this. 91% of democrats say these investigations are quite a serious matter. only 28% of republicans say that. 6% of democrats say it s an effort to discredit the president, a much higher number. nearly seven to ten republicans look at these investigation and say it s an effort to discredit the republican process. now, of course, the american people processed two former campaign officials indicted, a third cut a plea deal. well, four in ten americans think it s proof between widespread coordination between trump campaign officials and russia officials. maybe not widespread coordination but limited coordination. you add those up, that s pretty big numbers of people who believe there s some coordination between the campaign and the russian government. again, let s look at this and on this one the president does not get the benefit from republicans he does on many other questions. was there widespread coordination, more than six in ten democrats say yes, but ten% of republicans think there was widespread coordination. this is even more troubling for the president. 64% say there was limited coordination. so add that up, three out of four republicans think the republican candidate for president at least had limited coordination, his campaign did with russians. that is not a good number for the president. and one of the defining questions, did the candidate know about these contacts? again, at least nine campaign officials are now known to have been in some contact with the russians during the campaign. six in ten americans say yes, they believe the candidate did know about these contacts. here when you break it down by party people go back into their corners. so bottom line, the american people think these investigations are serious. they want them to continue. they have belief that there was at least some coordination. and don, where we started at the beginning, there s no doubt all these russian investigations contributing to the president s now record low approval rating in our cnn poll. john king, thank you very much. coming up, new developments in the russia investigation. a former top aide to donald trump set to be entered viewed by investigators and the russian lawyer who met with donald trump jr. at trump tower before the election is speaking out. stay with me, mr. parker. when a critical patient is far from the hospital, the hospital must come to the patient. stay with me, mr. parker. the at&t network is helping

omitting, i should say. i think the president sets the tone and it s sort of a very aggressive, flat out denial and, you know, the counter punch politically works with his base, but it s not working as this story just continues to grow. can you answer that question for us, april? why do they keep omitting and what s diagnose on here? knowingly to omit, knowingly to omit could for some mean lie. and if it is found to be pervasive, you know, you have to really wonder. i mean, you know, we are hearing so many different things about so many different people, you know. we heard about secretary ross. the question is did he tell the truth to in his senate confirmation hearings. now we re hearing about this. it s a pattern. and when it s a pattern, you wonder if this is pervasive and this is something that is just known practice within this camp. it does not bode well for this administration and for this president, who really at the very beginning and up till recently said that there was no collusion and you won t find anything. basically this is all made up by the democrats. this is something here. and when you look for something, you re going to find something. it seems people are finding it. mueller is finding something. so the question is how long and who will be involved and where will the tentacles point to in all of this. yeah. the president s lopping time adviser who served as director of oval operations keith shirley will be interviewed tomorrow about a 2013 trip that trump took to moscow. this trip is the center of the allegations included in the dossier about the president. shirley left the white house in september. what was the answer given at the time here, david. again, they sort of played down the trip, that this was not of significance. the problem is there s so many officials having contacts with the russians. there s the papadopoulos thing. there s the carter page thing. and the important thing, perjury, it puts tremendous pressure on shirley to speak the truth in this interview. they re scripting it well. and so step by step, you know, there can be these public staples. we can call them omissions, lies, lying to an fbi agent is a crime and that s already been shown. bloomberg did an interview with veselnitskaya and she said that donald trump suggested a review of a sanctions law. the explanation of the meeting has changed several times, but she went a bit further in this interview. what do you think of this new information? it s another, you know, more proof of not being truthful about these meetings. and willingness to yes. it s what april said. there s a pattern here. if her account is true. it s effort, you know, this incredibly combative and this willingness to sort of twist the truth and hide things, just a style of politics that i think will come back to haunt them or there really is collusion here, because it s incredible how week after week there s some new information coming out about communication and offer some sort of kwid pro quo happening that they keep denying but the rel agsz keep happening. april, let s talk about the president s approval rating. just 36% say that they approve the way trump is handling his job as president. how does the white house explain those low poll numbers which have been consistent throughout his presidency? well, they are very reactionary and deflect active. they re blaming it on the russia investigation. they re plamg it on democrats. and it s interesting, democrats who are trying to come up with some wins, particularly in the glub that to her yael races in new jersey and virginia, they re blaming everything on the reactionary president for all the problems that we re having. but this president is trying to find his way out. he s doubling down with his base. and when it comes time to talk to his base, to gavel an eyes them, he hits with topics that really resonate with them. the confederacy, issues of race, the nfl with taking a nooe or being it charlottesville. this president knows what strikes the cord of the quote unquote forgotten man, the uneducated or those who have not attended college, white male who feels that they re on the fringe and not touched by any form of government. and this had has reached out to them. so his numbers are low, but he keeps doubling down. but we ve not seen crypt night yet for this president to make him go out for the count. he continues to rebound some kind of way. but the question is how often can he do this in the midst of this russia investigation and just the divisions that s going on in this country. thank you, april, david. i appreciate it. when we come back w we re live in south korea where president trump is meeting with government and military officials. also ahead, two of the deadliest mass shootings in modern american history happening less that two months apart. again, we ask will it lead to changes in politics or with gun safety? if you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis,. .isn t it time to let the real you shine through? maybe it s time for otezla (apremilast). otezla is not an injection or a cream. it s a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. with otezla, 75% clearer skin is achievable after just 4 months,. .with reduced redness,. .thickness, and scaliness of plaques. and the otezla prescribing information has. .no requirement for routine lab monitoring. don t use if you re allergic to otezla. otezla may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. tell your doctor if these occur. otezla is associated with an increased. .risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have. .a history of depression. .or suicidal thoughts,. .or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla. .reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. other side effects include upper. .respiratory tract infection and headache. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take. .and if you re pregnant or planning to be. ask your dermatologist about otezla today. otezla. show more of you. tais really quite simple.est it comes in the mail, you pull out the tube and you spit in it, which is something southern girls are taught you re not supposed to do. you seal it and send it back and then you wait for your results. it s that simple. no matter what it brings. every day. or where he is. and pain doesn t hold him back. thanks to dr. scholl s running insoles. the only ones proven to relieve and prevent pain from runner s knee, shin splints and plantar fasciitis. dr. scholl s. born to move. you nervous?

say small actions can add up to something. humongous. a little thing here. a little thing there. starts to feel like a badge maybe millions can wear. who are all these caretakers, advocates too? turns out, it s californians it s me and it s you. don t stop now, it s easy to add to the routine. join energy upgrade california and do your thing. trump is meeting with governm t we re standing by for president trump s arrival at the blue house, the official residence of the south korean president. but first, president trump calls the deadly shooting in texas a mental health problem, not a gun situation. is he right about that? let s discuss. joining me now keith boy kin, alice stewart and margaret hoover. hello to both of you, good evening, depending on where you re watching. good evening, good night. 26 people are dead. and when the news started to come over this weekend, it s just unbelievable. here we go again. 20 more are wounded. it was modern america s deadliest shooting attack, keith, since last month. president trump has had to deal with these issues. he s in japan now. he was asked about this attack in japan this morning and here is what he had to say. i think that mental health is your problem here. this was a very based on preliminary reports, very deranged individual. a lot of problems over a long period of time. we have a lot of mental hell problems in our country, autos do other countries of the but this isn t a guns situation. i mean, we could go into it, but it s a little bit soon to go into it. but fortunately, somebody else had a gun that was shooting in the opposite direction, otherwise it would have been as bad as it was. it would have been much worse. but this is a mental health problem at the highest level. look, i certainly don t think anyone would deny that this guy had some issues, right, some mental health issues. but do you think that this is the major issue with this situation, with these situations? no, because even if he did have mental health issues he he still had a gun that killed 26 people including 12 children. the idea that the president is saying it s too soon to talk about this as a gun issue and then he goes into his counter gun issue is contradictory. this is the same script we go through every time there s a mass shooting. 58 people were shot in las vegas and the same thing we heard over and over again, it s too soon to talk about politics, guns. yet when we had an attack here in new york city just one week ago he was immediately calling for a change in policy, ending the diversity visa program. we can t start treating these things differently. if it s a muslim attacker or a white man who is attacking, it doesn t milwaukee a difference. the american people are still being attacked. do you think it s domestic terrorism. yes, it s domestic terrorism. go ahead, allison. as you indicated, this shooter had a history of problems, animal abuse, domestic abuse, even his shep child, fractured his skull. even served time in the military in the brink. he was discharged from the military. he had served time for domestic abuse. that should have been reported by the air force to the national crime information center. that should have been a red flag. he never would have been able to purchase the guns that he bought. if that loophole had not been dropped. it s not a problem with the law. this is a problem with the system here, the failure in the system is what got the guns in his hands in the first place. and yes, mental health is an issue. he did have memts health issues. he does have problems with regard to his anger at society, at his family and wanting to act out on that. so i think that is a key issue here. he shouldn t have had those guns, but it s not because the laws weren t in place. it s because of a failure in the system. is this a common dough no, ma am nart. yeah, but do you want to get rid of the second amendment? literally there is no silver bullet to this problem, don, unless you get rid of the second amendment. i m not i know, but everyone that seems extreme to me. whenever we have a discussion about people will say do you want to get rid of the here is what i m saying. what i m saying is this is, as we all know, because we have seen way too many of these incidences over the course of the last decade and more, and i am not going to sit here and use the argument that if you we should be australia. i m also not going to do the inverse. what i do want to just encourage us to do is have a sophisticated, complicated conversation that can tolerate the nuance and the difficulty of this policy question, because it s not just about taking guns away from people. it s not just about mental health. it s not just about any one of these things. it is there is not a silver bullet for this challenge. okay? sloo here is the thing. that is reasonable in a country that does have a second amendment. i think we agree at some level i don t understand because listen, i ve been here, what, 12 years at cnn and then before that at other networks. i ve been doing this for a long time. it s always a circular argument. yes. the argument is always if you want to have the discussion that we re having, then automatically a certain group goes to you want to get rid of the second amendment. that s what you re doing with mental health. i think people want to sit down and discuss what s going on with our gun laws, what s happening with our mental health. let s talk about mental health in a real way. people will be allowed to have we can discuss those things without being anti-second amendment. yes. i totally agree. but margaret you just said you wanted to have a conversation that s sophisticated and nuanced and your first response to don s question was that was to make a point, though. your first response was do you want to get rid of the second amendment. and then i proceed to have a conversation. so let s have the more complicated conversation. in order to have a complicated conversation we have to allow each other to speak too. and if you re going to have a conversation let s talk about how do we proceed forward. regardless of whether you are pro gun or anti-gun, we have a second amendment that s not been changed yet. what can we do together rhetorical point. i mean, we ve sat here on this panel a lot of tiles. you know that s not where i go. that was the beginning of that conversation. okay. hold on. hold on. hold on. hold on. can we do that after the break because i want to do something that s very important here and we re going to come back and finish our discussion after the break. i just want to take a moment to remember the vils of this really horrific shooting. the gunman in sutherland springs, texas. the youngest victim was a 17-month-old girl. the oldest was a 77-year-old. lieu lieu white was the grandmother of the shooter s wife. friends say she often volunteered. hailey krueger was a of-year-old. her mother says hailey wanted to be a nurse. richard rog rid easy along with his wife theresa, they were married 11 years. eight members of the hol comb family were killed. danny s 17-month-old daughter noaa, the holcombe s daughter-in-law crystal, who was pregnant. three of crystal s five children were also killed. emily, megan and evelyn hill. and then there s tara elise mcnullty, close family friend of the holcombes. t-mobile family plans now come with netflix included. that s huge. that s right. t-mobile s got your netflix subscription covered. .when you get a family plan with two or more lines. really? that s incredible. so go ahead and watch however you want. you re messing with me, right? all at no extra charge. this is awesome! another reason why t-mobile is america s best unlimited network. mic drop. accused of obstructing justice to theat the fbinuclear war, and of violating the constitution by taking money from foreign governments and threatening to shut down news organizations that report the truth. if that isn t a case for impeaching and removing a dangerous president, then what has our government become? i m tom steyer, and like you, i m a citizen who knows it s up to us to do something. it s why i m funding this effort to raise our voices together and demand that elected officials take a stand on impeachment. a republican congress once impeached a president for far less. yet today people in congress and his own administration know that this president is a clear and present danger who s mentally unstable and armed with nuclear weapons. and they do nothing. join us and tell your member of congress that they have a moral responsibility to stop doing what s political and start doing what s right. our country depends on it. these are live picture. this is south korea where president trump is set to meet with top officials today. we re keeping an eye on that, but we re back now with keith boy kin, alice stewart and margaret hoover. we re having an interesting conversation, very animated conversation talking about the second amendment and guns. we re actually talking about the really complex problems behind mental health that i don t think the president got to in his commentary about mental health. but that should be part of what we discuss when we discuss these shootings and when we discuss the national policy to confront a real epidemic of people that do have mental illness. one in five individuals that are incarcerated have severe mental illness. the chances that you re going to be in jail rather than a hospital bed are ten times greater. there is not good national policy confronting the challenges that mentally ill people face. and then when you add mental illness with the second amendment, you have real recipe for disaster. i just have to say, i live in a big city, and i ve lived in a number of big cities before and i see people walking around. i see people talking to themselves. you know, i have some people who i know people who have mental illness. they don t have access to guns. they don t have guns. i mean, let s just that makes the majority of mentally ill people are not violent. they re not of course not. they re not in possession of a gun. that is true and it s important to have a nuanced conversation or not, shame people with mental illness. there s no reason to have a national registry for ssri. that s what mental health is a broad term. i don t want to stigma ties people. nor do i do. but i do say that is an issue that we should be discussing as well as the issue of guns and what happens often is we use mental health as a pivot point to avoid the discussion of guns. let s talk about mental health issues, let s talk about other issues. let s talk about anything other than guns. the problem is we have people who have mental health issues, who are violent, a small percentage of them, and when they do engage in some sort of criminal behavior immediately we want to stag ma ties that group. let s talk about the weapons that anyone has access to to use in this country and how we can make it safe for countries that these weapons are not easily we can t even get anything on bump stocks after, right. i think that s an important thing to bring up in that the conversations after las vegas was the bump stock mechanism should not be used, it s extremely dangerous and there was a lot of publisher back. even some second amendment supporters said let s have a conversation about that. chuck grassley has said he s going to hold a hearing on that in the next week or so. so we are seeing some progress really? second amendment supporters, sensible gun safety laws, they support sensible gun safety laws. i think it s 80% of gun owners support gun safety laws. sure, they support gun safety laws. they support gun safety overall. and certainly wise gun the use of guns. and look, i think it s important we look at each and every one of these tragic mass kers in a different situation. they re all caused by different reasons. the motivations are much different and the cause and effect are much different. i think we re going to move the ball down the field hold on. i m glad you said that. because of one common denominator is what? it is someone who is angry, someone the guns they re all men, don. every single one of these people have been men. men with what? with guns. with a gun. the one common denominator is a gun and everyone keeps saying ignore that terrorist attack in new york city last week and the guy had a paintball gun and a rental truck. he ran over some people with the rental truck. he didn t kill 26 people. he didn t kill 58 people. he could have killed a lot more if he had access to a deadly weapon like a gun. and i think that we have to really start to think, even if he had mental issues and we don t know if he did or didn t, but that s even the point. we have to think how do we keep these guns out of peoples hands who don t need them. we have laws on the books that we re not enforcing. this is another element. so there s multiple but there s another reason why we should be having a sensible debate instead of saying do you want to get rid of the second amendment. no. no. i agree. a common denominator is guns. new york last week was a rental car. what are we going to do, ban trump proposed a solution, which was to ban the diversity visa entries. it was a timely he talked about it immediately after the terrorist attack. and here, again, even today when he s over there in corkorea he saying it s too soon to talk about guns. if mental illness is the main reason here for these shootings, was that a bad idea for him to do that? let s answer right after the break. we ll be back. we ll come right back. stay with me, mr. parker. when a critical patient is far from the hospital, the hospital must come to the patient. stay with me, mr. parker. the at&t network is helping first responders connect with medical teams in near real time. stay with me, mr. parker. .saving time when it matters most. stay with me, mrs. parker. that s the power of and. the updates you made to your plan strengthened your retirement score. so, that goal you ve been saving for, you can do it. we can do this?

i think the big take away race will be virginia governor s race. northam has been up. he s the democrat. he s the democrat. but gillespie has good support. the conservatives are rallying behind. the democrats shot themselves in the foot with a bad ad. i think gillespie will pull it out. in new jersey, i think murphey is double digits ahead. and out in utah chafin. in virginia if a democrat doesn t win there, is that big trouble for the democrats? i don t think that s big trouble. it s a purple state. it s a complex state. the current governor is a democrat. bob mcdonald was a republican before that. it goes back and forth. it swings. i think virginia has a chance to elect its first african-american lieutenant governor. first african-american to win statewide office since doug wilder in 1989, when he was elected governor. i think it s promising there for democrats. there s a big turnout push for people of color, a little late but still it s happening. they re running against the trump charlottesville clan. there are a lot of people concerned about charlottesville and they re coming out to vote against that. and gillespie is running these racist ads. we ve been here a couple nights late into the midnight hour covering these races. do you think that same thing happens today? this is, you know, the danger of the take away from tomorrow or potentially what could happen and what i look to is, you know, what s happening on the democratic side and what you see is happening on the democratic side in virginia is democrats are falling away from their candidate. progress i ves have disassociated from him. gillespie has the momentum. we can rally against trump, but if there s no candidate to confront trump in four years in 2020 trump could very well have another four years. and even with polling as bad as it is, and the economy as good as it is, because donald trump s polling right now is the worst of any first-term president 36% is a new cnn poll. but if the economy continues okay that s a point, though. you re talking about terry mccall liv. it s the economy. that s true. i think the republican gillespie has done a wise job, he hasn t brought him in to campaign for him, asked for his endorsement, and so far that s to his benefit. quick, i have to do go. trump tweeted the economy has been horrible in virginia. the unemployment rate is 3.7%. it s lower than the national average and when the republicans were in charge. thank you all. see you next time. that s it for us tonight. i ll see you back here tomorrow. our live coverage picks up next with ann nacorn in south korea and john vause in la. penetratig lower back pain relief. and now get aleve direct therapy with $20 off at your local rite aid. you nervous?
