I guards don't break it by. We that a lot going on today you're watching and that's going to be probably the last time will cease Aaron Sanders before Easter weekend so couple questions we had to get her today that number one being that New York Times. Explosive bombshell hardest possibly leveled by the president's former lead lawyer John GAAP. For Michael Flynn and for all manner fort sometime last year. Wallace is all going on the Russian investigation after your I've been looking into this whole afternoon we thought we had quite. It's our own fault. As an aunt and Wyeth Yates and quickly don't them. Important thing is something the president has been asked about repeatedly now this time's report as saying the IDE about Harden. Was floated through the two people that in theory could really harm the president. The right times reporting that John Dowd the legal heir to it has since laughed and floated this idea with that man a fort and please. Attorney is now I will sit wants to have surgery he's about how this the thing that he specializes all right Joanna John Dowd a preemptive apartments now. John not saying that that wasn't discussed tight compensate secular the other two lawyers saying. And they had new knowledge of these discussions but as you mentioned. The press has been asked but with multiple times from Cecilia from Jon Karl and he said it will seat house there's an art. All the questions backed anti cop who just company patents that it you know as. A massive issue that lets I'm waiting with bated breath to see if the president down just weeks you know what pardons are completely opposite position because he saw in that briefing. Mess and say look it's not Ty Cobb who has the power. Departments people as a present United States and the captains Xperia unclear whether or not that's actually something he is considering government answers and responses to his spokespeople. Now we know at the moment though Michael Flynn is whopper yes. Special counsel's investigation Pullman afford though he's he's possibly still out there looking for a deal. And if he hangs on if he was promised something in return that person that meet the offer calf are no longer partly. All right exactly according to the report the person. Who had doubts two Reggie Brown is made of what's a former attorney so all of that would have been on the table. Before this program and obviously now John delves no longer part of him we've been reporting they're having a tough time fine now Reuters. Long lists an empty restaurant or and that's wrong happened a long list of people who have decided to opt out. Of the presidency and I think that's an indication and I think this listener transport coming out today it's an indication. That we really don't know where where the president's mind. Now now every day and challenging yourself active searching all these are reaching out to Barrett right along was born and we're gonna keep. And I and that we'll have the latest on this developing story always that he abcnews.com. Do you want to move on though. Because what's another day this week we had a stormy Daniels story overnight we saw that stormy Daniels lawyers are trying to get president trump. To go and appear in a California federal court. This would be something can happen and you just that we haven't heard the president on this topic right who would it could be well. We are again this I don't know where I guess my house is just decided that silence is golden but you never know youngster from our our. But I don't know you know look at this is this is a White House that's involved a lot of series things you know numbers there's a potential meeting with him on the income Pepsi right and again this is a topic that is coming up day after day after today. And I think the silence you know it can only last so long and he's. Itching to get into this fight. The president guaranteeing he finishing the and it's faintly heard from some folks who have been talking to that there are waving him off of it he wants to delve in. On and you don't really John this is the only time I can remember where he has been attacked in this way and are not fired back at also learned out of the public eye off of Twitter on. Now it's it's it's one reason completely silent and you cover the campaign partly this is not a fair question for you but we have done this you get pop. Jack did you study diligently. With the people wall. You are. But not. Same thing right this is its overnight from the president thing at the military would now possibly be paying for the border wall. He has long said for I three years of my life along that it would be Mexico every rally we've heard it this is on eat or switch for the president on this one. And already members of congress saying they won't let it won't happen. He needs congress to be on board especially with the military funding right but you're like it was his signature promise on the campaign trail and Mexico paper you heard those chants. But now backing away from and it was interesting in the exchange. And believe Sicilian man with Sarah yesterday in the briefing. Willie short on answers yeah you know worth thinking about ways that may be Mexico will still be able to pay for it it is a walk back from. It is imperative that one area they are very laser focused on the moment switching gears hero. Is that means potential meet with him we. And finally. Left North Korea for the first time in quite some time actually since he's been the leader there. Departing nation I'm heading over to China. Apparently had a good meeting only nobody had a good meeting for somebody's Twitter account. So this is something the White House is really trying T cheaper John Bolton that you national security advisor coming in this'll shake out. I think that's if you want to see Clark wrote that the White House and and and president are really want to shaped these negotiations but. What decency really learn about this meeting from president from tweeting about present Shia China's. Meeting with can come and and I think it's going to be really interest you to see how Beijing. Tries to shipments meetings because. You know it's you can you can shape it's so much for the new national security team to turn it really is a central. Now this goes well Catherine this would be another big success for them on the world stage in the rain and of course stating definitely cents on. At China's around it would be has. President with sandy success for him on the world stage but it and you mentioned the new national security advisor John Bolton there have been questions raised about whether that meeting. Still actually does happen but. I promised count at least this morning it seems like he thinks that this meeting does offer is me. We receive the next one before we go. You and I don't know much about this area I think that we your ability you know I am. It's only because the producers and I've pursued it. You know the last couple days though this is important because luckily there has been focusing on the census and this question now about citizenship is not on the senses ten years ago it will now be on the 20/20 sentences but Supreme Court council also involved in this a little bit. Because the sentence is really does affect jury. Absolutely and it affects how. How many congressional districts certain states gets and that's that's a big problem in the senses but the case that the court heard this morning out of Maryland is this case talking about what the process should be. For drawing congressional districts in state legislative districts across the country is going to be huge. The attack in American politics not just in the next two years nothings or use. The next twenty years the next thirty years. And basically what the court is deciding just shouldn't there be ST under process. For how we look and how we draw these congressional maps and it's gonna have a huge impact on twenty seniority. Eric Holder has a big group whose whose meat redistricting a huge part of their campaign. People know that this is a big deal people noses that the impact in this this case today and Alan is really good just yet let's cut. I wanted to ask you and you said thirty years from now.
