well, good morning to you and happy saturday. we're grateful for your company as always. i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. your "new day" starts right now. president trump says he may issue a new executive order an a travel ban for mostly muslim countries. >> there are tremendous threats to our country. >> this is about national security. it's not anti-muslim or anti-islam. it's anti-terrorism 1200%. nine current and former government officials told "the washington post" that national security adviser michael flynn discussed u.s. sanctions against russia with russia's ambassador before taking office.

>> credibility is the biggest thing inside of this white house. >> keeping flynn as national secured adviser is not only embarrassing for this white house. i also think it is dangerous. immigration and customs enforcement maintain that they're simply focusing on identifying people in the country illegally. >> my wife isn't a threat to the united states. she's a great person. ♪ ♪ we have a lot that's happening politically to get to you this morning. let's start with what is brand new after a setback in court over the travel ban. president trump says he may now sign, quote, brand new order as early as monday. but he's also leaving the door open to a supreme court challenge. the president also promising new security measures coming this week to keep americans safe from terrorists. also ahead this hour, a cnn

exclusive, for the first time u.s. investigators have corroborated the deyales and today, the president hosts japanese prime minister shinzo abe. security, trade, high on the agenda. let's to the white house correspondent athena jones in florida. she has details. >> reporter: good morning, christi and victor, president trump is waking up at his marge alago estate in palm beach where he's going to be spending much with japan's prime minister shinzo abe. we expect them to play a round of golf at some point. this after the meeting and press conference at the white house yesterday and that dinner last night at mar-a-lago with the trumps and the abs. but it was on the way here to florida that the president made some news. he came to the back to visit the press in the press cabin, and i asked him about the immigration

ban. here's some of what he had to say. >> the unfortunate part is we will take time statutorily. we win that battle but we also have other options including filing a brand new order on monday. >> is that your plan? >> very well could be. but i like to surprise you. we need speed for reasons of security so it could very well be that we do. >> reporter: so, you heard him there, not committing to issuing this new order. but saying it could come on monday or tuesday. asked what he might change in any new executive order banning travel from certain countries, he said very little. so, a very interesting response from the president on the flight down here to florida. back to you, guys. >> all right, athenia, thank you very much. let's bring in tom lobianco and errol louis, good morning. >> good morning.

>> errol, let's start with, the administration will not immediately appeal the decision from the 9th circuit court of appeals. is this a new strategy or is this a concession? how do you receive this decision? >> well, look, when you lose a case the way the administration did, you don't have a lot of good options. they have an option going back to the 9th circuit and trying with a panel of 11 judges. ten of them randomly selected by the presiding judge to seeful they can get another outcome. that's not likely to succeed. or they can run to the supreme court. there again, the success doesn't look all that great. the notion that they can go back to scratch and rewrite an executive order might be their best bet. the problem is, some of the things referred to in the decision that they lost are things that will follow them. and that has to do with the statements made on the campaign trail about banning muslims. the intent. the reality of what this was all about is going to sort of show

itself. and they're going to end up in court, no matter what. even a revised executive order will probably land them back in court. >> so, tom, do we know why if there's going to be a new executive order on monday or tuesday, sometime this upcoming week, why the administration is not moving forward on that one? and then withdrawing the hard to was signed on the 27th? >> well, you know, errol was saying, it admits defeat. implicitly it admits defeat. and this is a white house, a brand, where you can't admit defeat. going back to building on what errol was saying there a little bit there, if you take this to the supreme court. if you take it to a 4-4 supreme court where it's split, you don't have your nominee on the bench -- yet. they're kind of running out the clock there. if you take it there and you lose that is terrible for them. absolutely terrible. but the problem and the vice that they're in right now is

that you can't go back to your base and say, well, we got this one wrong. we're going to go back and soften it a little bit. because that just sounds terrible for them. especially for a guy who says he doesn't get anything wrong. >> yeah, the president, errol, said this will happen next week. it will happen rapidly, the word he used. the speed for security reasons. the complaint we heard from republicans in congress is that the first order wasn't properly vetted. do we know if this one is getting the attention, vetting, that the first one did not? >> well, we don't know. but it's hard to imagine that you would do the proper kind of outreach. they should be talking to lawyers in the department of homeland security, in the justice department, in the pentagon in the state department. they should be trying to figure out what universe of people would be excluded. they should be trying to figure out what the legal response would be, not just from washington state and minnesota, but from other states whom might wavn want to get into the act.

they should be trying to get a political read as well of where congress stands on this. all of this takes time, you don't do that over the course of a weekend. it would almost be reckless to try to put together something like that without doing all of the proper research needed to make sure it has legal muster. >> considering all that we heard from congress, errol, i'm coming back to you, is there any way to avoid the legal confusion and all of the backlash in a potential order that's coming up? or is this now people are so entrenched in one or another, and that we're going to see filings and litigious actions? >> well, sure. they put senior administration officials talking to us about

this what they say is, okay, we're looking at our options. they're not slammingthy doors shut. this is a 180 from where they were when they rolled this thing out two weeks ago. it's possible, are yeah, they're talking about doing a new order now. sometime in the beginning of the week. maybe that won't happen. maybe that time line gets pushed back. to what errol pointed out here, yeah, if you do this again, it's just a disaster. there's lot of things on their plate right now. you got obamacare that they're trying to do. you've got these town halls that are blowing up across the nation. there are a lot of things if he wants a success of the first 100, 200 days, whatever they're calling it now, this becomes a massive problem. >> tom, errol, stay with us. there's a lot more to discuss this morning. the u.s. national security adviser michael flynn, for one, is really getting some notice after the revelations now that he may have discussed sanctions

with russia, prior to president trump takine ing office. have what the president is saying. plus, a cnn exclusive, u.s. investigators have unveiled details of a dossier from a former spy. details on that. and authorities telling cnn, refugees targeted again, even after they were able to escape the severe violence in their countries. >> translator: we don't know what will happen in the future. we realize we have hopes we will establish a new life. now, we're frightened we'll be stopped at this stage and cannot carry on further. ♪ (vo) do not go gentle into that good night,

cnn has confirmed with a u.s. official that national security adviser michael flynn did speak with russia's u.s. ambassador prior to the inauguration. and that the u.s. sanctions against russia did come up in that conversation. what they may have said about the matter, though, that is what is so a little murky right now. but fbi and intelligence agencies say there's nothing indicating flynn made any promises or acted improperly during the call. the president declining to respond to the report saying he was unaware. the kremlin is denying it happened. i want to bring in tom lobianco and airlgs louis. let's listen carefully to what

president donald trump said when he was asked about his thoughts about what developed overnight. let's listen. >> i don't know about it, i haven't seen it, what report is that? >> talking to you about before you were inaugurated about sanctions. >> i'll look at that. >> all right. errol, do you believe that he's really unaware? >> no. >> he just he doesn't want to talk about it yet? >> no, i don't. i think it would be more accurate to say he didn't want to talk about it. this is somebody who watches the news channel and is wired into the best information network on the planet. it's hard to imagine that something that was bursting all over cnn and "the washington post" and the headlines would somehow not be conveyed to the president of the united states. well, the larger problem, of course, that he has, he's got to have an administration that speaks with one voice. you can't have nikki haley the u.n. ambassador, on the floor of the u.n. saying sanctions will

remain in place unless russia changes its behavior in the ukraine. and then we find out later that perhaps the president and vice president were deliberately kept out of the loop while a high-ranking official was having some kind of back channel conversation about sanctions. that's something that he's not to not only look into, but he's going to have to straighten that out. >> and, tom, that's something that we know about donald trump. he appreciates and values loyal. talk about the conference in front of him, is he loyal to the vice president or loyal to michael flynn, depending on how this all falls together? >> sure. remember, vice president mike pence was the one who went out there after the news reports surfaced, you know, he was grilled by us, by others. and repeatedly said this was not an issue. and now, we find out that this did happen. and it really kind of puts the heat on him. and to your question, of, you know, where do trump's loyalties

lie, we've been hearing behind the scenes that there has been a lot of consternation about flynn. that he's been -- you know, there's a lot of concern inside this white house about him. and pence is not in that position. pence has the strong relationship there, you know, it put pence in a bad spot. because, remember, this is either pence was lying when he was talking about this. or he was not told and was forced to go out there and talk about something he had not been told about. either way, a terrible, terrible position. it's going to be fascinating to see how this shakes out. >> let's listen to representative jim hunt last night when he talked. >> if he then went on and lied about it and put the vice president in the position knowingly of lying to cbs about it well, then, that's beyond the pale. let's face it, this is not your sunday night call for grandma, right? this is a call from the next

national security adviser to the russian ambassador my guess is, this is not a case, oh, gosh, i forgot. look, the evidence is not all in. if he had that information and then lied about it, of course, he needs to go. >> errol, how much trouble might michael flynn be in here? >> well, it remains to be seen. this is one of the first crises of this administration that is clearly an internal one. there are some leaders when pressured the way representative hines was putting pressure on the white house will sort of dig in their heels saying i make the decisions here. i won't throw anybody overboard just because my political opponents want me to. we'll see if donald trump is that kind of leader. or he'll react the way tom was suggesting which is when people are cut out of the loop or denied important information or lied to, sometimes, that's an unforgivable offense. >> tom, you mentioned that this is a president that doesn't like

to admit to defeat for this administration. so, this may be seen as such, if this happened and he has to let flynn go. but if that happens, who's on deck? who replaces flynn? >> well, you know, you got to remember, that anytime we're talking about russia, this is kind of the equivalent -- okay, this is kind of the equivalent of talking about e-mails with clinton, okay? you can't -- this is the hot topic with him. it's a hot button. it's terrible. okay. you just can't have it coming back and back again from things they thought were settled. you know, there has to be more vetting. there was a real sense inside of their team, according to our reporting, you know, here's someone who is loyal to trump early on and trump was loyal to him. you know, you don't know, how do you replace him. these vetting questions are a big problem. you see this with the accountant nominees. you see this with the continued story coming out, next week, we're going to have another

hearing on labor secretary andy puzder coming up, okay? a lot of questions about him coming out there. it seems like the longer you have these hanging out there, the more you have the vetting questions. so they really have to do a lot of work behind the scenes to try to forego some of these problems. >> tom lobianco and errol louis, appreciate your insight. >> thank you. despite the potential blow back from flynn's phone call, we want to point out russian president vladimir putin said he's ready to fully restore ties with the u.s. even hinting as to when his first meeting with president donald trump will take place. let's go to claire sebastian right now. claire, what are you hearing? >> on the issue of conversations between flynn and the ambassador, he said he understands it, there were some conversations, but as to the

suggestion that president putin decided not to respond to u.s. sanctions on russia in late december, because of the content of these conversations, he said, the information is not correct. but as you say, the russia/u.s. relationship is getting a lot of attention here. and the issue of when the two presidents might meet has come up several times in the last 24 hours. in a press conference that vladimir putin gave with the president of slovenia, welcoming the suggestion from that leader that slovenia would host the first meeting for president putin and president trump. for the first lady, there's cautious optimism about how that relationship is going to develop. >> clare sebastian, thank you so much. for the first time u.s. investigators have collected details of the dossier from the british spy, those details are

coming straight ahead to you. plus, is there new a new reality for undocumented immigrants of the u.s. after an arizona mother of two is deported after routine check-in with immigration officials. mexico's warning for its citizens living in the u.s. that's coming up. only tylenol® rapid release gels have laser drilled holes. they release medicine fast, for fast pain relief. tylenol®

cnn has learned new information about the ongoing investigation into allegations raised in a collection of memos created by a former british intelligence agent, a political opponent then candidate donald trump. cnn chief national security correspondent jim shutz toe and justice correspondent evan perez has been working the story. jim starts with the new details.

>> reporter: christie and victor, for the first time u.s. investigators tell cnn they have corroborated some of the communications detailed in a 35-page dossier compiled by a former british intelligence agent. cnn was first to report last month that then president-elect donald trump and president barack obama were briefed on the existence of the memos prior to the inauguration. until now, u.s. officials have said that none of the content or allegations have been verified. but now, multiple current and former u.s. law enforcement and intelligence officials tell cnn that intelligence intercepts of foreign nationals confirmed that some of the conversations described in the dossier took place between the same individuals on the same days and from the same longzs as detailed in the dossier. the corroboration based on intercepted communications have given u.s. intelligence and law enforcement, quote, greater confidence in accountability of

some aspects of the dossier, this as they continue to actively investigate its contents, these sources say. we should be clear that cnn has not confirmed the content of the calls or whether any of the content relates to then candidate trump. and none of the newly learned information relates to the salacious allegations. when reached for comment white house spokesman sean spicer said, quote, we continue to be disgusted by cnn's fake news reporting, end quote. spokesmen for the fbi, department of justice, the cia and the office of the director of national intelligence had no comment when reached by cnn. the dossier details about a dozen conversations between senior russian officials and other russian individuals. one thing the u.s. has is a collection of foreign call intercepts and they used that information to seek to verify some of the alleged conversations describe in the dossier. u.s. intelligence officials emphasize that the conversations now verified were solely between

foreign nationals including those or in or tied with the russian government but some of the individuals involved in the intercept negotiations were known as quote, heavily involved in clethtsing information damaging to hillary clinton and helpful to donald trump. christi and victor. >> thank you, jim. still to come for you here, fear is running high among immigrants and their families after authorities launch say wave of raids targeting those in the u.s. illegally. also, trauma for syrian refugees in the u.s. after surviving that long civil war. evidence they're suffering again from anxiety, depression and posttraumatic stress disorder as president trump's ban continues to grow. because no one kills germs better than clorox. the search for relief often leads...

46 minutes past the hour. as president trump moves forward with new security measures and a potential rewrite of this travel ban, refugees are stuck with serious anxiety over whether they're going to be split away from their families. i want to bring in the v.p. of georgia for syrian refugees. born in texas, you're part of this group that are trying to help the refugees coming into georgia specifically. i want to read to you what researchers at wayne state university found. they found when they talked to them, a third of refugees screened positive for ptsd.

nearly half suffer from anxiety disorder. half suffer from depression. 60% of refugee children have an anxiety disorder. and 80% of refugee children suffer from separation anxiety as we heard from victor's piece there as well. when you sit down and speak with these people, mona, what strikes you the most about them? >> absolutely. i have met probably over 150 refugee families. and have had the opportunity to sit with the parents, take children to school, and kind of spend quality time with them. and i definitely noticed their level of anxiety. one child in particular, i was taking him to school and he heard an airplane and he started to cry. i looked at him and said, what's wrong? he said the missile, the missile. i said, no, no, it's an airplane. it's okay. there's definitely fear. >> what do they need most?

because they don't know the language many times. >> right. >> do they have a hard time getting a job? do they have a hard time being accepted? >> absolutely. many people don't know this, when families come in, they come in through a refugee settlement agency that will help acclimate for the initial three or four months. acclimate them getting an apartment with basic furniture. getting them medical insurance. dental insurance. putting them into the public school system. helping them find a job. but after that, they're sort of on their own. so three months really isn't enough time to learn the language. to beef up their resume to really even, you know, get a driver's license sometimes. >> so how do you, how does your group help them beyond that time period? >> sure. so we supplement what the refugee agency does. he help supplement them in terms of furniture, kitchen utensils
