Returning from government to the private sector is not a step down, but a step up. but just yesterday, the government watchdog crew raised questions about flights on private planes haylee took last year, writing, in this case, ambassador haylee s relationships with these individuals appear to have significant political and professional components. president trump says he ll select his new u.n. ambassador in the next few weeks. besides ivanka trump, dina powell, and ambassador to germany, richard grinnel, being discussed as possible replacements. when you hear the president talking about how his daughter could be dynamite, it s hard to imagine how anybody could get in the way of ivanka trump at this point, wolf. let s see what happens. jim acosta, thank you. let s get some more on nikki haley s surprise resignation. michelle kosinski is over at the state department for us. michelle, what are you learning about who may replace nikki haley? you heard the president say he s considering ....
At the g20 in germany. she just sat down and took a seat for a little while. but it was at the table with world leaders. that drew criticism and questions, and also sarcasm. but she has been heavily involved in foreign policy, wanting to get involved. remember toward the beginning of the administration, she went on a trip by herself as the headliner for the administration to india. and the theme was women s empowerment. but then secretary of state rex tillerson didn t like that at all. rubbed him the wrong way. he didn t send any of his top people at the state department to support her, and a short time after that, he was fired by tweet. she laughed off the suggestion today. so we will see what happens. but we know the president would likely like somebody who is going to be just as big and forceful a supporter of his foreign policy as nikki haley has been. but not too much. i mean, we ve seen that work for haylee sometimes and not work so well other times. this person also needs to get ....
The list of multiple sources today. dina powell. the president s former deputy national security adviser, she was heavily involved in middle east policy. in fact, one senior diplomatic source tells us tonight they feel she has a very, very good shot at this job. but that s if she s willing to take it. and that s a big question. wasn t so long ago, she left the administration ready to go back into the private sector in finance at goldman sachs. she seems very happy there, according to sources. so that s a big question. would she be willing to rejoin the administration? and in this very demanding role that she left partially to spend more time with her family. but that other name, of course, is what we were just talking about, the president s own daughter, ivanka trump. you hear her use the words incredible and dynamite to describe her as a potential candidate. but in the same breath, he also foreshadowed this could be a tough pick politically. it was just last year, remember, she ra ....
reporter: but read between the lines, and there could be a sign of things to come, as haylee praised members of the trump family. ivanka and jared kushner. i can t say enough good things about jared and ivanka. jared is such a hidden genius that no one understands. and ivanka has been just a great friend. and they do a lot of things behind the scenes that i wish more people knew about. because we re a better country because they re in this administration. reporter: cnn has learned ivanka s name has surfaced in discussions about haylee s replacement, but when told about the internal speculation, a source said ivanka laughed. that didn t stop the president from engaging in that speculation later in the day. i ve heard ivanka. i ve heard how good would ivanka be. the people that know, it s nothing to do with nepotism. but i want to tell you, the people that know, know that ivanka would be dynamite. but, you know, i would then be accused of nepotism, if you can ....
The job for the rest of the year, her abrupt resignation raises plenty of questions. gloria borger, what do we know about the timing of this sudden announcement today? we don t know much, beyond the fact that people were surprised, including bolton and pompeo and lots of people inside the white house. and what this leads me to believe is that this is something that nikki haley decided to do, and we have done some reporting on this, because not only for personal reasons, but i think she felt she was losing a bit of clout as a u.n. ambassador. when tillerson had been secretary of state, the president depended on her an awful lot. when tillerson left and pompeo came in, the president is very close to pompeo. i think she felt her clout kind of decreasing. she felt this was a good time. and maybe she wanted to get out in front of all the people who are going to leave or get fired after the midterm elections, and sort of separate herself that way. so that s that explains the ....
