discussed u.s. sanctions against russia. with russia's ambassador before taking office. >> credibility is the biggest thing inside this white house. >> keeping flynn as national security adviser is not only embarrassing for this white house. i also think it is dangerous. >> immigration and customs enforcement maintain that they are simply focusing on identifying and removing people in the country illegally. >> my wife is not a threat for the united states. she's a great person. you know, she's a citizen. . ♪ well, rise and shine on a saturday morning. i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. good morning to you. there's a lot of news coming out of the white house this morning. let's get you up to speed and start with president trump. now very determined after the court rejects his travel ban he says he might quote, sign a brand new order.

as early as monday. the president not ruling out also a supreme court challenge. and he also promises new security measures to keep america safe from terrorists. >> the unfortunate part is it takes time statutorily. i'm going to win that battle. but we also have other options including just a new order. >> is that your plan? >> very well could be. i like to surprise you. we need speed for reasons of security. so it could very well be that we do that. >> in the meantime, the president is denying knowledge of the michael flynn firestorm saying he is not aware of reports that his national security adviser had talked with russia about lifting sanctions on that country prior before president trump took office. also this morning, the president waking up in his luxury resort in florida, where he's hosting japanese prime minister shinzo abe this weekend. security, trade, golf, all on the agenda there.

first, though, let's talk more about president trump's suspended travel ban. the trump administration weighing its options now, as to what they'll do next. here's cnn's justice correspondent pamela brown. good morning, pamela. >> well, victor and christi, though nothing has been ruled out, we've learned that the white house is not wanting to immediately repeal the 9th circuit decision for fear of losing in a 4-4 split. president trump even saying aboard air force one he may want to issue a new executive order with new security measures. >> i welcome you to the very famous white house. >> reporter: as the white house tweets its now halted controversial executive order and considers whether to issue a new one, president trump speaking at a joint press conference at the white house is vowing to not give up the fight. >> we'll be doing something very rapidly, having to do with additional security for our country. you'll be seeing that sometime next week. in addition, we will continue to

go through the court process. and ultimately, i have no doubt that we'll win that particular case. >> reporter: trump's announcement comes in the wake of a strong rebuke from the 9th circuit court of appeals over his travel ban. he tweeted the decision was, quote, disgraceful. and again, sounded the alarm that there's an urgent need for the travel ban to keep the country safe. >> while i've been president which is just for a short period of time i've learned tremendous things that you could only learn, quite frankly, if you were in a certain position, namely, president. and there are tremendous threats to our country. we will not allow that to happen. >> reporter: but the court said the administration failed to present evidence to back up trump's national security claim saying, quote, the government has pointed to no evidence that any alien from any countries named in the order has perpetrated a terrorist attack in the united states. those countries listed, sudan, iran, iraq, somalia, yemen and

libya and syria. and pushed back that matters of national security should only be left up to the president. say, quote, rather than present evidence to explain the need for the executive order, the government has taken the position that we must not review its decision at all. we disagree. now the trump administration has to figure out what's next. >> there does seem to be chaos in the trump administration over the way the order was written and how to go forward here. >> and the president in honor of the 9th circuit court decision, he will likely wait until next week to respond with any action. victor and christi. >> pamela, thanks. let's bring in sarah westwood, correspondent for the washington examiner and eugene scott, political reporter. good morning. eugene, let's start with you, the white house not immediately appealing the decision from the 9th circuit. that does not correspond with what we heard from the

president's own mouth, see you in court. walk us through the elements that led to the shift in approach to strategy. >> there was a significant shift, especially in less than 24 hours. throughout the day, throughout friday, we saw various republican lawmakers come on cnn who have said themselves and said other people closer to the president were saying is it would perhaps be in the administration's best interest to go back to the drawing board and present a more narrow executive order than to go to court and risk losing this. one criticism of the executive order repeatedly is that the trump administration had not presented any evidence proving that letting in refugees and immigrants from these communities would harm the american citizens and national security. what we could see next week in this rumored executive order coming out is one that has more evidence backing claims about national security. >> so, sarah, with another

executive order that's potentially going to come down on monday or tuesday. how aggressively do you expect the white house to fight for the one signed on january 27th? >> that's such an interesting question, box the administration risks the entire policy if they continue to pursue this case who aggressively and who quickly. at the same time, it's not in president trump's nature to shy away from a fight. if you recall throughout his personal life, he has said he refers to fight legal battles than settle them because he perceives settling them as a way of admitting that you're wrong. it seems to be a growing consensus between democratic and republican lawmakers that a more narrow executive order could preserve the idea of this policy, which is still popular among his supporters,

notwithstanding, the rolled out order. >> let's talk about that, eugene, republicans have said about the executive order is that it wasn't properly vetted. if there's an executive order that is less string againent, t appears to be better vetted does the bottom fall out on the first one? >> i think trump supporters, people seeing trump were overwhelming favorable on that executive order favorably. we saw those who criticized it from the republican party saying it wasn't the policy that was problematic, it was the presentation. what the trump administration have to realize, it wasn't the rollout the problem, it was the actual policy. so whether or not they're going to present something that's more appealing to people outside of their base remains to be seen. >> what do we know about the vetting of what is coming,

sarah? maybe it's too early to ask or answer the question, i'm going to try it anyway. is this getting the vetting that many believe the first one did not get. the department or department heads that should have been part of that conversation. are they part of this conversation now? >> well, look, what seems to be the main sticking point with the existing order was the fact that it was widely interpreted to apply to permanent legal residents, people who had green cards. and those people have the most constitutional rights of any other foreign nationals in the united states. if a new existing order was narrowly interpreted to apply only to refugees or people entering this country for the first time, it would have a better chance of surviving the inevitable court challenges. so what the trump administration can do, look at where the judge in seattle and the 9th circuit court of appeals stopped them the first time. and try to make the next executive order addressed. >> and that may satisfy the

thousands of people we saw at airports across the country, on the weekend after the implementation of that executive order. we'll talk more about that with our legal analyst in a moment. sarah westwood, eugene scott, thanks so much. >> thank you. coming up a cnn exclusive, for the first time u.s. investigators have corroborated now some of the details of that dossier compiled by a former british spy. and certain as hundreds of immigrants are take from their families and deported. and know advocates across the country are questioning the president's crackdown on illegal immigration.

as after a dvt blood clot,ital i sure had a lot to think about. what about the people i care about? ...including this little girl. and what if this happened again? i was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me? so i asked my doctor. and he recommended eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. yes, eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. both made me turn around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily ...and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding,

like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made eliquis the right treatment for me. ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. with the deduction findingombine superpower of ibm watson? ah! you get more money.

that's what you could get. h&r block with watson. get your taxes won. 13 minutes past the hour. we want to show you some of the

new information cnn has learned about that ongoing investigation into allegations that were raised in that collection of memos. the memos that were created by a former british intelligence agent. they were for opponents of then candidate donald trump. cnn national security correspondent jim sciutto and justice correspondent evan perez and pamela brown are working the story. >> why is the court details contained in this dossier important? >> well, jim, until now, u.s. officials have said that none of the current allegations have been verified but local law enforcement and intelligence officials tell cnn that intelligence of foreign nationals confirm some of the conversations described in the dossier took place between the same individuals on the same days and from the same locations as detailed in the dossier. the corroboration is based on,

quote, greater confidence in the dossier as they continue to actively investigate its contents. we should be clear that cnn has not confirmed the content of the calls or whether the content actually relates to then candidate trump. and none you the newly learned information relates to the salacious information in the dossier. when reached for comment, white house spokesman sean spicer said, quote, we continue to be by cnn's fake news reporting. >>ed fbi, cia, and director of national intelligence all had no comment on the sorry, jim. >> there's a lot in the dossier. help explain to our viewers what they have confirmed and not confirmed? >> well, remember, the goal of the countercounterintelligence, for investigators to verify easily.

to give them a sense of the credible of the author who was already somebody they were familiar with having credible sources. and the members detailed about a dozen conversations between senior russian official it's and other russian individuals. so, that was one of the starting points. and one thing that the u.s. has is a collection of foreign call intercepts, so they use that information to seek to verify some of the alleged conversations describe in the dossier. and u.s. intelligence officials are emphasizing to us that the conversations they now verified were solely between foreign nationals including those in or tied to the russian government. intercepted during routine intelligence gathering. but some of the individuals involved in the intercepted communications were known to u.s. intelligence community as heavily involved in collecting information damaging to hillary clinton and helpful to donald tru trump. now, sources wouldn't confirm which were intercepted due to the sensitive nature of the

intelligence, jim. >> we've been very careful throughout the store, reporting going back week, specifying what has been confirm and what has not been confirmed. help us to explain to the viewers of what intelligence still cannot verify? >> one official stressed to cnn they've not corroborated the quote, more salacious things in the dossier. i'll reminder the viewers cnn has not reported any of the salacious allegations. however, when we first reported this story, u.s. law enforcement said they could not verify any parts of the memos but what they're now saying they're corroborating at least some. none of the officials would comment or confirm that they have prove of any alleged conversations or meetings between russian officials or u.s. citizens including then candidate donald trump. and officials for the source say they have not had any compromising information about the president.

we should remember that president trump and his staff have repeatedly dismissed this dossier, jim, as phony. >> jim sciutto, pamela brown and evan perez, thank you so much. cnn has confirmed that national security adviser michael flynn did in fact talk sanctions with the russian ambassador, before the president took the oath of office. what president trump is saying, and what it could mean for michael flynn. be the you who doesn't cover your moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

i want to get back to cnn's exclusive reporting. for the first time u.s. investigators have corroborated some of the details of that

dossier compiled by a former british spy. i want to bring in cnn's global affairs analyst kimberly dojo. when you look at this and what has been developing overnight, what is your first take on how russia will respond? >> well, that russia understands it is under fire by the u.s. media. and u.s. intelligence. but still believes it's got an ally in the white house in the form of the national security adviser michael flynn. he is besieged. some of his own aides are sharing things with the media which are rather damaging. but i believe it's too early in this administration for them to ask him to leave. they're going to try to ride this one out. that is what i predict. but in the meantime, moscow is sitting back and watching this disarray between different elements of the u.s. government. and probably enjoying it. >> okay. let's talk about -- let's talk

of adviser flynn. is this survivable for him? you mentioned, obviously, it's early on, this is not the kind of publicity that the trump administration wanted three or four weeks into the administration. but it can't be denied that there are some real problems here with this particular appointee. >> yes. it's becoming clear that mike flynn did not realize he spoke about sanctions. or didn't think it would come out. because we're hearing from administration officials that he didn't tell vice president mike pence that he brought the subject up. one of his aides told me that he couldn't recall whether or not he talked about sanctions. because of the number of different people that he spoke to during the transition. the number of different foreign

ambassadors. but that also "the washington post" story is accurate. that he did discuss sanctions. so, you put those two things together, and what that says to me is that someone has shared with the white house, with flynn's office, the transcript of what he said to the russian ambassador. normally, when spy agencies gather up phone calls, intelligence, when they collect, is the term of art, on a foreign ambassador, the u.s. person in that conversation, their name will be blocked out. but in the case of an investigation like this that name can be revealed. and i think what we're seeing is the fallout from the white house, realizing, here's what's flynn said. and eventually, someone on capitol hill is going to get access to those transcripts and they're trying to do damage control right now. >> is anybody coming to flynn's defense? >> not in the white house. i even asked one senior official

and said how's mike flynn doing? and the person just looked at me and walked away. so, i'm hearing from some folks on the hill that they think this is just the beginning. they intend this to be just the beginning of a campaign to drive him out. i think he's on very thin ice. and his staff is going to have to watch his back in the coming months. >> i want to play some sound here from president trump on air force one last night. he was asked about his plan, how he plans to respond to iranian president huerani. mr. president, what's your response to the iranian president who earlier today told people that any nation that threatens the nation of iran is going to regret it eventually.

>> he better be careful. >> he better be careful. kimberly, what do you make of that? >> well, we've seen this war of words stepping up. we've already been told that the white house is reviewing all of its different options to respond the next time they do something that the trump administration krs o considers out of line. be it harassing a ship or a missile launch. now, we did see them slapping sanctions on specific individuals related to the missile program. but those sanctions were already in the works. there are other options like deploying u.s. ships in the gulf. or some sort of even strike on some sort of an iranian facility. all of those different things are being considered. but they're keeping an element of surprise here. and the idea here is to keep iran off balance. this is one of those things that when you speak to some democrats

on the hill when you speak to some critics of the trump administration, they're worried that this is the kind of thing that could push over into full warn conflict. you even hear from some iranian watchers that they're worried about a full shooting war by the end of the year but that's the kind of panic that perhaps these comments are meant to bring up. >> kimberly dozier, i appreciate your insight there. thank you so much. still ahead -- the feds are calling it an enforcement surge. immigration raids this week have led to hundreds of arrests of undocumented immigrants. but the homeland security says they're not, quote, rounding anyone up. best efforts. but what if you could turn things around? what if you could love your numbers? discover once-daily invokana®. it's the #1 prescribed

♪ good to be with you on a saturday morning, 31 minutes past the hour. i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. good morning. president trump plans to announce new immigration procedures next month and that could be a new executive order on immigration. >> the president, quote, may sign a brand new executive order. it may be as early as monday. and the white house said it may not apply the travel ban lost in the supreme court. instead, the president is considering a possible tweak, such as explicitly stating that the ban does not apply to legal permanent residents. in the meantime, immigrant families are in a panic of sorts

after federal authorities launched a new wave of rateds. customs officials are arresting hundreds of undocumented immigrants in at least a half dozen states this week. the move you illustrates the first enforcement of president trump's crackdown. and immigration officials call the arrest quote, routine. department of homeland security john kelly said this. >> first of all, they're not rounding anyone up. the people that i.c.e. apprehend are people who are illegal, and then some. >> now, i.c.e. says many of the arrested individuals have prior felony convictions, including violent charges such as child sex crimes, weapons or assault charges. about 160 undocumented immigrants were arrested in los angeles alone this week. agents as conducted operations in georgia, illinois, new york, north carolina and south

carolina. >> let's talk about it now with joe? backson, legal attorney. jessica stern, criminal attorney. and jack kingston, former senior adviser to the president's campaign and former georgia congressman. good morning, everyone. >> good morning. >> good morning, good morning. >> jessica, i understand you tell our producers your offices have been flooded with calls from undocumented immigrants, concerned about what to do. and they're describing what is happening when they get visits. tell us what you're hearing. >> that's right, victor, our phones are ringing off the hook along with other colleagues of mine for people, families, that are now reporting that their loved ones, their husband are just recently picked up in these raids. immigration and customs enforcement will go out of their way to say they're not raids, they're not rounding people up. but i'm not sure how else it can be described. it is a circumstance that hasn't quite been done like this in the past. while there were routine raids that happens occasionally

understand the obama administration, who they're going after in this situation does seem to be different. it's not people necessarily with criminal convictions. it's folks that were living peacefully here, potentially here for many, many years. and possibly a pending driving without a license case or something minor seems to be what we are seeing is the most common denominator for the people being arrested right now. >> how about that congressman, president trump then candidate trump, says there has to be a deportation force. that famous speech in arizona he said he would be investing or doubling down on i.c.e.'s deportation effort. is this the deportation force? not focusing on bad dudes, but in the case of guadalupe garcia de rayos came here as a teenager is now being sent back. >> actually for miss garcia de

rayos, he was deported but has been since since 2009 and 2013 knew she was going to be eventually deported. i'm not sure why she wasn't more proactive, because as a mother you would think she would be. she knew her time would be coming up. remember, barack obama deported 2.5 million people and that does not include the year 2016. for the left to say, oh, is this new stuff, this is absolutely not new stuff. this is routine. they try to go after the class 1, the most violent illegal aliens. and then along the way, if they find that our ute there, then they do arrest you and depart you, even if you weren't the target. if you are, you know, some way in the way, that's the way it's always been. now the last few years of the obama administration, that was a little fuzzy really, during bush and early years of obama, that

was business at hand. and so for the critics to suddenly say this is new and this is a big change, it's not accurate at all. and anybody would look at the obama deportation record of 2.5 million people knows that. >> go ahead. >> congressman, most respectfully, i beg to differ with you. there's everything new about this. and this is nothing like we've seen before. in an effort to justify the recent deportation of a mother who has two children who's been since here she was 14 years old. >> but -- >> hold on congressman. >> i don't see the rationale. >> read the -- >> congressman, please. one at a time. joey, go ahead. >> if the objective is to get rid of people who represent a threat in this country if the objective is to protect border security if the objective is to protect us from people who are engaging in drugs and illegal trafficking, i fail to understand, congressman, the justification of taking a

mother, yes, it's true, she indeed false security numbers, she was living here under false security numbers. that's a crime. that's not to be justified. the president clearly has an enforcement duty and responsibility. but if you're going to talk about an executive order which indicates that people who represent a threat to this country should be removed, i fail to see your rationale, congressman. >> rationale is -- >> congressman -- >> -- what they did with i.c.e., how do you justify it? >> because it's the law of the land. it's the law of the land. i'm sure you read the case, i'm sure if you just know anything about our system on immigration that you know that this is the way it's always been conducted -- >> no -- >> let him finish. >> she was a felon, and they go after a violent criminal and she signed an order in 2013 knowing that she would be deported and that her time was up. now, i believe -- >> she nationed immigration

eight different times. >> congressman, let me ask you this, what donald trump said during the campaign and late in the campaign, and certainly after his election, he said he would be going first after violent criminals. you bring up the 2009 conviction of using a fake social security number, but guadalupe garcia de rayos does not qualify as a violence criminal. should she be on top of the list? >> she is not the target and people like her have not been the target. yet, people like her, along the way go after the targets if they find somebody like miss garcia, they do deport her, in accordance with the law of the land. this is what barack obama did, this is what george bush did -- >> no, it is not. >> i'm sure you're raising that about barack obama -- >> hold on for a second. >> i know we're in an era of alternative fact but we really should tell the viewers what the

facts are. and the fact is, if you want to talk about a conviction for a false social security number and equate that with violence and say well you know what -- >> i'm not. >> -- you know what, your time is coming, the fact is she checked in with immigration officials as was her duty, as her responsibility, every other time, she was released to her family. if we're going to have a conversation about border security, if we're going to have a discussion about -- >> why -- >> hold on, hold on. congressman. >> jessica, what are you telling the people who call your office, what should they do? >> well, this is different from what we've seen in the past. because before we were able to say under president obama that if you didn't have a conviction for a significant crime, then you were not going to be a priority for deportation. now, what we're seeing is that people without convictions, so this is different from even miss garcia's case or violence criminals. people that just have pending cases. >> yeah. >> -- pending traffic

violations, we are not able to really clearly advise at this point, beyond saying, be careful, when you have a knock at your door. understand who's there, don't open it unless there is a warrant. that's what we're dealing with right now. because there are police officers going to people's homes saying we're looking for someone else, and then they're arresting family members for simply no violation. >> jessica stern, joey jackson, thank you. and the new playbook, the new way to win back the house -- the dems' new strategy. that's next. if you're told you have cancer,

16 minutes before the top of the hour. house democrats are doing some soul searching, let's call it, this weekend at their annual retreat in baltimore. this afternoon, chairing the national party will strategize the months ahead. talking about what they need to do and which direction. >> part of the discussion means dropping some of the old ideas that have not benefited them in the past. the new focus, how can they make up lost ground and win back the house majority? >> and one here for the democratic forum is connecticut governor dannel malloy, he's joining us this morning. governor, good morning. >> good morning. >> good to have you. before we get to your agenda today and what you'll be talking about the democrats in baltimore. let me ask you about the news. day and the news that the president will likely issue a new executive order in the coming few days.

to take new actions to keep americans safe. i know that you were supportive of the 9th circuit continuous blocking of that last order. blah do you want to see? what do you want to hear from the president in the potential new order coming out next week? >> well, it would probably help if it's not written in crayon. which is a way of saying hopefully they'll do their homework. they'll understand the constitution of the united states. they'll understand that people have rights even if they're not citizens, if they're residents of the united states. these are important and fundamental issues that need to be addressed in any order. listen, democrats are for security. we don't want to let terrorists into our country. on the other hand, you don't abrogate the rights of your citizens with the kind of order that the president foolishly rushed out. he made himself look bad, worse yet, he made america look bad.

doesn't make any sense. he should have released this decision within hours of releasing his original order. it took the 9th circuit to push back on him, so that he couldn't deny all of the mistakes that were made. let's see what happens in the next one. hopefully, it's not written in crayon. >> so, governor, what would have to be in that order for you to support it? >> well, listen, i think it has to be clear that this is about security. and vetting processes. and the like. but let me -- let me segue into something. when we talk about refugees, these are the most scened people who come into the united states -- period. now, let me point something out here. the terrorists in brussels were born in their -- in that country. the terrorists in paris were born in that country. somehow, we still let people from paris and brussels come to the united states. we don't have a ban on them.

there has to be some nexus -- there has to be some value brought to what's attempting to be done. what you don't want to do is declare that terrorists have won, because we're isolating ourselves, offending our friends, inspiring our opponent. >> let's turn now to the democrats there in baltimore. there have been several huge protests here in the u.s. and around the world, this is actually the first weekend of the trump administration that we have not seen those huge protests. how does the democratic party galvanize those people, get them to the polls, and turn all of that passion and energy into votes? >> well, i think there's a certain reality that those -- that passion are votes ready to be exercised. people are looking at this presidency, looking at how this administration is being wronged. and understanding a lack of truthfulness, quite frankly, that's now coming out.

they deny they talked about sanctions with russia. now, we know they talked about sanctions with russia. or at least were led to believe that based on all of the information that's available. let me say this very clearly on the record, if the general lied, he needs to resign. if it was covered up, anyone who covered it up needs to resign. we need some truthfulness. the lack of truthfulness will just feed this thing on an ongoing basis. i made this point somewhere else. i'll make it here with you folks. we have a fever pitch here in the united states of people saying they want their america back. they want an america that honors the constitution. they want an america where the government speaks freely and honestly. they want an america that's protecting people's rights. they also want a candidate trump to grow up and be a president trump and stop using the ve verbiage that got him elected. and talk to americans in ways

that they're used to be talked to, first and foremost with the truth. >> governor malloy, i'm sorry we're out of time. thank you for taking the time to be with us. we appreciate it. >> thank you. he's been on the job for just a few days now, already, the newest united states senator is facing some controversy and questions about how he got that position. coming back my asthma symptomst on my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo is specifically designed to open up airways to improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled,

your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. do not take breo more than prescribed. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo could be a missing piece for you. learn more about better breathing at mybreo.com.

there are growing concerns over the newest united states senator and how he obtained the

job. >> yeah, the alabama governor was quick to name a replacement for former senator now, jeff sessions, as he was confirmed for attorney general this week. but that is raising a lot of questions about maybe corruption in the state. hours after the senate vote to confirm alabama senator jeff sessions to become the next united states attorney general. >> senator strange, congratulations. [ applause ] >> alabama governor robert bentley appoints the state's attorney general luther strange to fill sessions' senate seat. >> there just seems to be some conflict of interests there. and it's caused much of the state to reel with concern. >> that's because last year governor bentley was accused of having an affair with a political staffer, but the governor denies the affair and any illegal activity. >> i have never had a physical affair with mrs. mason. >> bentley was facing possible

impeachment until strange halted the process launching a criminal investigation instead. >> the person here appointed was the attorney general. now the governor gets a two-for-one, he gets to appoint his own attorney general. >> critics question whether the governor appointed strange in an effort to stop the criminal investigation and take impeachment off the table. >> he probably has that much power, but i think that would be a poor play for luther strange in that if he were to do that, if he were to stop the proceedings, then he enters into a 2018 election cycle where he essentially has stopped the impeachment. >> state respective ed henry says most voters do not want impeachment proceedings canceled. the state auditor agrees but has his own fear. >> now governor bentley gets his own attorney general. so this cloud may continue to hover until january 21st of

2019. that's robert bentley's last day as governor of alabama by the grace of god. >> early friday evening governor bentley announced the appointment of steven marshall as the next attorney general for alabama. cnn reached out to the governor's office for comment on the appointment but has not heard back. >> all righty. listen, there are hundreds of whales, i don't know if you've seen these pictures, but they're stranded on a new zealand beach. >> yeah, the emotional efforts to rescue them, we're going to take you there. first though, i can relate to this. i don't know about you, if you promised yourself you're going to get fit in 2017, having a little trouble getting on track. health and fitness expert stephanie mansour has some simple guidance for us to stay well. >> the national institutes of health says that you're more likely to stick to a change in routine by taking one small step at a time.

let me take you to new zealand where there is this emotional rescue mission that's happening. volunteers are rushing to the beaches of golden bay. they're hoping to save dozens of beached whales. now, they comfort and take care of the whales until the high tide can help to take them back out to sea. >> we're talking about more than 400 whales that were found stranded yesterday morning. at least 250 of them died. rescuers were hoping to save more than 100 who were still on the beach. but those are some of the pictures coming in. good for those people. good for those folks. the political arena is on fire today. >> there's a lot coming out of the white house. we're going to get to that right now o
