Happy Monday welcome to the briefing room coming to your from the Washington bureau ABC news I'm jabs and QG. Alongside Katherine folders and just an official. Busy weekend lot going on everybody talking about Ari BC news exclusive interview with Rudy Giuliani. On the Sunday show we're George running gets that in a second but a lot of questions. Also about Bob Mahler special counsel the probe ongoing we know that the White House and the special counsel has been in constant negotiations over the last month. Specifically now focusing in on a presidential interview and that's where Rudy Giuliani. Really comes in here but gang. The president this morning very busy for a Monday morning on Twitter. Attacking. Robert Mueller over and over in his teeny Catherine zoning in on those thirteen Democrats that are on the special counsel's. She angering Democrats and his buddies is buddies tweeting calling them this morning yam he's. On fire what it does is it represents this change of strategy. That the that the former lawyers especially Ty com. Tried to rain and don't tweet about the Russian investigations especially Muller horrible lawyers and now you see Todd is leaving and he's only attacked this is it seems to me like the new strategy. In the top by and it's and it's the way that he likes to fight. I put up a fight he that this whole cooperating. Science is not from strategy he likes to get in the fight you see that's what he's doing. Giuliani rolled out the strategy more or less for us on this week he said hey look he could plead the fifth. If you subpoena him he might fight it we got nothing more for each other sort of thing cotton let's bring on and the other franchisees they want to they see this as a potential. A good strategy for the mid terms yet this is an issue they think they can win on in the mid terms yeah. Apps apps believe you'll find special counsel we need Republicans there to keep the president in command and control Katherine just really quickly though I mean you know this idea. An interview is still on the table seems like it's you know kind of fallen off people every day. Plug on its back on it sockets on I mean I think it's I mean it's not true but you know and you saw the president yesterday say that he. I'd still wants to sit down with them will be fair even sent him. I'll undermine. My own litters right photo what guarantees he had that he'll be treat it fairly adamant that any clearly doesn't think that he's going to be treated fairly sees honestly so I'm I think right now it's off the table but again that the something that they want is this ping pong back and forth and on the speculation as to whether something will happen or not. Cast of confusion let's switch years CIA nominee Gina Haskell up on Capitol Hill today she's been meeting with lawmakers hearings for her confirmation began on Wednesday just in the post reported. Over the weekend that eats the president actually ran to Langley Virginia to convince her to stay right so first on Friday issue at a meeting at the White House she basically fed I have serious reservations about the nomination process. She's worried that re litigating the whole waterboarding issue will be damaging for agency have to remember. What that did to the CIA when this came up under the Bush Administration. It was seriously batch does not want to relive that. She's this was her reservation but they've she's been talked and tensions staying put for everybody says that she's full steam had. But would this really boils down to campers with the president this is probably. The one thing about gene has pulled that the president really likes. It is voluntarily write took to Twitter this morning to to make an exact point is somebody you like somebody who knew. And support somebody Justin said right when this happened we know mark sort of fair Sanders rushed over their two elements out of this so absolutely. He's staying put for now those hearings start Wednesday we'll have full coverage across ABC news beginning there was the team on Capitol Hill. Let's go back there Rudy Giuliani he was it Georgia's gas yesterday on this week. Lot of questions for him to set the record straight you know I I spoke to a couple sources around the president. After that interview they feel Rudy did a good job in just senator you were monitoring is real time with me. You're trying to figure out what was the headlines are worth a lot and the prosecutors never practiced this storm track in the smaller track we talked a little bit Mahler. The stormy tracking its guidelines to he. Told her I told George rather that you know there could have been other women he can't rule out that the world the women with bank. I laugh so you know that's it and he still loose with the whole thing they just wrong these things out there. On think that's part of it absolutely is now at all these other questions and I. Mean we I look at it I feel like the more things he wrote in an interview we had subpoena you that if and then I mean the more things I'll be there you know his team issue we're having right people get someone think and say and so Sarah was asked about that waivers for the dust settled this after K. What about that very you know you were here during the campaign to achieve did he pay out of the woman she said. Not that she's aware of has there was a senior advisor in the campaign so. If anything we will see I would keep and I and that I wanna break Alley Rogen over the White House in this next one this Alley. The White House is watching something technically usually in your whale house which is. County elections going up on capitol those we had the mid terms West Virginia Alley this primary. I think it's pretty rare I've followed them for three years to proceed Donald Trump say don't vault for our Republican. When in this one this is that character here we thought Roy Moore was a little bit of hot water this is I was tastes. Holding high. Yes absolutely John this is a candidate. Who has been out there making racially driven comments about the senate majority leader's wife. He has been saying that the senate majority leader has benefited from cocaine trafficking. He said it is I think he went to jail for a then the coal mine explosion in West Virginia with a government plot. He is someone who he Republican establishment here is saying no touchy do not get involved. Eat this and and I mean we stop president trunk and out into me he can't win a general election but some other establishment Republican senator Jeff flake city tweeted. It's not just that he can't win it's that he shouldn't win and Derek Anderson asked about that today she sort of heads. An earnings at that position outside the White House you can say very much obviously she's in the official capacity but. That official position here seems to be simply that. We need to support someone else not necessarily that Don Blankenship. In unqualified unfit mr. And you Alley right where we came off on the area as Johnny verbal make on our politics and if it's and that the latest polls the best we of the moment. Is a Fox News poll from last week you Catherine blinking chips not even in second place here according apple that's a week ago but you have Jenkins a 25 Morrissey 21 Blankenship at sixteen. Never the last full panic mode matches from the White House but even the president's family out there tweeting don't vote for this guy. Right John junior was out there tweeting against him the president this morning so I think there that there is a fouling out some. Real concern here as you know the president even correlated to Roy Moore in Alabama Soviet despite these climbers that we see concern across the board from the president the establishment and the pain.
