investigators now believe russia tried to use trump advisors to infiltrate the campaign. >> not only through e-mail hacks and propaganda but to infiltrate the trump orbit. just think about what we can accomplish in the first 100 days of a trump administration. all of the success has been through executive orders. >> a witness spotted cummings with his student deep in the woods of northern california. >> they are gathering as much evidence as possible. this is a very, very small cabin. >> scientists and supporters are planning a huge march for

science. >> 150,000 people expected to gather here on the mall and march to the capitol. good morning welcome to saturday. so grateful to have you with us. i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. we begin with new information how russia tried to influence the 2016 election. according to officials the fbi believes russian operatives tried to recruit trump advisors including carter page to influence the trump campaign. >> pamela brown has all the details for us. >> reporter: we've learned the fbi gathered intelligence last summer that suggests russian operatives tried to use trump advisors including carter page to infiltrate the trump campaign according to multiple u.s. officials. carter page's critical speech against russia in 2016 is one factor. it's part of what raised concerns in the bureau that he

may have been compromised by russian intelligence. the new information adds to this emerging picture how the russians tried to influence the 2016 election not only through e-mail hacks and propaganda, sometimes referred to as fake news but also by trying to infiltrate the trump orbit. the intelligence that was gathered led to that broader fbi investigation into the coordination of trump's campaign somethings as james comey has referred to. the officials we've spoken with made clear they don't know if russia was using him. page could have unknowingly talked with russian agents. he disputes the idea he's ever collected intelligence for the russians saying that at times he actually helped the u.s. intelligence community. he told cnn quote my assumption throughout the last 26 years i've been going there is that any russian person might share information with the russian government as i have similarly done with the cia, fbi and other

government agencies in the past and it is important to note within the trump campaign carter page was viewed as someone who had little or no influence but one of several trump advisors whom u.s. and european intelligence detected in contact with russian officials. fbi investigation is still ongoing. pamela brown, cnn, washington. thanks. page told cnn earlier this month how he met the russian operative. that he denies he was actually giving him any valuable information. listen to this. >> i did not know he was a spy when i first met him, although eventually it came out. he never made any indication that he was trying to recruit me. it was all a casual conversation, exactly what i told my students at new york university. and no offer was made and there was no negotiation what was is over.

i met at a conference at an ahsan society and at some point later within a month or so, i believe, several years ago, we had coffee once, had a slight conversation. i gave him a couple of my information from my lectures, some public research reports and that was tends of it. >> the former kgb spy is joining us now. so listening to what he was saying. help us understand the tactics for recruitment and would he be unknowingly as it has been characterized aware that he was trying to be recruited or that they were trying to gather information from him. >> well, let's start with what carter page was doing while he was in moscow. he was working for merrill lynch, doing a lot of business with the russian company that pretty much as a monopoly on oil and natural gas. huge company.

if there's any company that is under the control of the russian government and putin himself, that's it. now, historically, those kind of enterprises were infiltrated by agents. why would that have changed? so, it is quite likely that mr. page also had contact with other agents while doing business and it is quite likely that they were giving reports back to their handlers, whether they were direct employees or unofficial workers on behalf of the intelligence services and it's quite likely that there's a dossier about carter page and a lot of folks who do business in moscow with those companies. so, that's how it works. then we find out, how can we, you know, i'm now the, you know, the intelligence agent, how can we use that information. how can we -- you know,

recruiting somebody is sort of like, would be the crown jewel. you got to be really careful because you're most likely tick them off and not get anything out of this particular individual. so find a way to hook them and feed them information, work with them in some way and apparently they did. >> it's almost like a grooming process? would that be a right characterization? >> having an asset there who done know that they are an asset. and you're playing also into greed, arrogance, ego. if you're being built up by the russian government as an expert in one of the most influential in foreign policy in the united states that feels good, doesn't it? >> this gets to my question here, why carter page? he was not in the upper echelon of foreign policy decisions for the trump campaign or trump

transition but they were trying to get someone who could influence the then candidate trump now president trump. why go for carter page who by the report weg have was not on the inside. >> you take what you can get. obviously there were relationships there. there was an angle. you know, when i was operating in this country they asked me to get in touch with all kinds of high level individuals. that wasn't possible. so carter page was most likely a very inviting target. >> is it possible even credible to think that he did not know. >> it is quite likely that he didn't know. there's one thing -- there's a statement that he made that he was aware when you deal with russian business people that they could be infiltrated by secret service. i think that's an after the fact statement. in my opinion, americans are rather naive when it comes to

these types of issues. case in point, how many times have you heard that people are hacked because they are subject to phishing operations. we're quite naive as a country. there's a whole lot of this stuff going on. as a country, as a population we need become more aware of these things. >> besides temp mail hacks and propaganda and trying to infiltrate that orbit as it's called, the trump orbit, what else might they have done or how much do you think they truly may have influenced this election? well, you know, now you're asking me to step out of my sand box and i can't do that. i can't speculate. >> okay. >> the only thing i can tell you, they tried as much as they could. at this point i believe there's no evidence that had they actually succeeded. as a matter of fact if, indead, they were after having better relationships and having the sanctions lifted backfired which

happens very often in an intelligence type operation. we can't control all the players and their egos involved and individual agendas involved. we don't have good relations now. >> much of what we're discussing is likelihood and plausibility of these ideas. without the full information from the fbi we don't know absolutely. >> that's right. >> if they tried to influence carter page, what's the likelihood that there are more or potentially more that they use. >> more attempt? >> or others. >> quite likely. success, don't know. but, you know, that's why there's an investigation and i would hope that there are not any more leaks about this stuff. let the fbi do their work. >> all right. good to have you in this morning. >> thank you. >> former trump adviser carter page will be live with smerconish this morning right here on cnn. we'll get more on his response

to cnn's new report. we are one week away from president trump's first 100 days in office. long been a presidential milestone. the white house is looking to notch its first big legislative win in that time period. >> you heard the president say he likes to be flexible. brags about being flexible. that applies to his contract with voters he outlined as a candidate. here's cnn white correspondent athena jones. >> reporter: with the clock running out on his first 100 days president trump is now questioning the significance of the marker. tweeting no matter how much i accomplish during the ridiculous standard of the first 100 days, and it has been a lot including supreme court, media will kill. that sentiment a far cry the one he expressed in october when he embraced the standard and spelled out a long list of measures he hoped to achieve by the 100 day mark which arrives next saturday. >> i'm asking the american people to dream big once again.

what follows is my 100 day action plan to make america great again. it's a contract between. donald j. trump and the american voter. >> reporter: the president's record of keeping promises so far is mixed. he's followed through on his pledges to withdraw from the transpacific partnership, approved the keystone xl pipeline and path new justice on the supreme court but he's backed off his pledge to label china a currency manipulator on day one, seen his travel ban blocked in the courts and perhaps the biggest blow -- >> we had a great meeting and get a vote. >> reporter: he failed to repeal and replace the affordable care act. that went down in flames weeks ago. a huge embarrassments for the white house and congressional republicans who campaigned for years on rolling back obamacare. outside of the confirmation of neil gorsuch much of what the

president has accomplished came in the form of executive action rather than legislative action. the president has signed dozens of orders ranging from a lobbying ban -- >> we had success. 13 weeks of the presidency. >> reporter: and that a new bill will pass soon by republicans on the health care. and tax reform next week. >> woel have a big announcement next wednesday on tax reform. >> reporter: health care isn't the pressing issue for health care. congress must pass a funding bill by next friday or shut down. a stick point, money for the border wall. >> i think congress will provide necessary funds and there will be ways to fund this wall and i believe we got to do it. >> reporter: the problem it's a

nonstarter for democrats. folks mother at the white house are expecting confidence that congress can avoid a shutdown. the budget office asked agencies to prepare for a lapse. own the tax reform front the white house is tamping down on the announcement. so what's the report card and political road blocks as the president closes in on 100 days? our panel weighs in. the national guard being deployed in florida to help fight dozens of wildfires. look at the pictures out of there this morning. thousands of people are being forced to evacuate their homes. you know who likes to be

it's one week now until 100 days for the first major report card for the president.

and there are plenty of political deadlines ahead. congress is returning out to a renewed push from the white house to replace obamacare but also have five days to keep the government from running out money on april 28th just ahead of day 100. let's bring in white house correspondent for the "washington examiner" and michael warren. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> sara, let me start with you. if you could detail for us the need or desperate want by this white house to get another win within the next week. >> it's clear the trump administration wants this health care legislation to advance before the first 100 day mark, but they are holding down expectations that a vote is imminent because the last thing they need is another public collapse and so unless they are very confident that the 216 votes are there this time they are not going to push this to advance on wednesday, which is when the earliest vote on health

care would come. where they are focusing on securing more real visit with theic victory is funding for the border wall, and the administration has already signaled they are willing to make concessions on that front, they are willing to put on the table for democrats continuing the subsidy payments to insurance providers that would keep obamacare from unraveling in the near term if funding for the border wall can go forward. >> let's get back to the border wall in a moment. michael, to you, how real are these talks, the possibility of a deal in the next couple of days. a republican congressman tells cnn the renewed health care talks are an attempt to create an illusion things are moving because otherwise more people would know about it. >> i think those sources are probably correct. this is definitely a white house push, trying to get some more momentum, but people on capitol hill really aren't buying it because the votes aren't there. this is going to be a long process and you're already

starting to hear rhetorically from the president, kind of recognition of that saying obamacare took 17, 18 months to pass congress and finally get signed into law, so maybe the unraveling and replacemen of that law something republicans would like is going to take just as long. and so this push suggests to me it's a little more of a pr stunt than a real push for a kind of legislation that can pass next week. they will have to dig in here and not simply try to meet this arbitrary deadline. >> sara, let's talk about that border wall. that was one of the rallying cries for the president during the campaign. we know that the omb director has said that this on the list of priorities. let's put it up on the vaccine what he told "the washington post" about the border wall funding. he said we have our list of priorities, we want more money for defense, we want to build a border wall, we want more money for immigration as well.

sara, to you, is it plausible to believe that the democrats will support a dime for the wall? >> you know, democrats have already indicated that this is a nonstarter. but the fact that the administration is putting these subsidy payments on the table could change their calculus. this is something democrats thought they were going to lose. and now the administration is signalling they are willing to keep paying those out. what's more likely the administration can secure wins for increased immigration enforcement, more border patrol officers, more resources for ice and defense spending. democrats said they may be open to funding those priorities and the administration could credibly count that as a win even if they don't get funding for construction of the wall. >> michael, to you. are there indications that the government will be able to continue to function without a pause in funding if there will be a deal before midnight on the

28th? >> i'm pretty inclined to believe that's the case. republicans in congress probably don't agree on much. but they definitely don't want a government shutdown particularly when there's a president of their own party. but that really, i think, demonstrates the problems that the trump presidency has on capitol hill right now which is that the best they can count on for a victory is not shutting the government down. they need more momentum and lot more substantial victories on capitol hill that they can't get because this is a divided conference and the best they can do is say let's just keep funding it where it is. i think that spells problems down the road. >> quickly, sara to you, with the budget funding that has to be secured by the 28th, and now this call for renewed push on health care, the president now is signalling that mid-week he's going to announce the parameters of a massive tax cut. of all that has to be done --

even for a hunt with a win in the first 100 days why is this now the time to talk about tax reform. plate seems to be full already. >> i think you nailed it, it's the first 100 days that's driving this. the administration recognizes coverage will be brutal and say at least a tax reform plan was rolled out. republicans were able to say this is where our goal posts are on tax reform. just lessen the impact of that first 100 days coverage because it's one more box that trump can check to say he did. >> thank you both. new this morning vice president mike pence says the u.s. will honor a deal to take in more than 1 you had refugees from australia. an agreement brokered by president obama right before the election and same deal president trump slammed in a tweet back in february. he called it a dumb deal at the time. here's what the vice president had to say, though, about it all

during his visit to australia today. >> let me make it clear the united states intends to honor the agreement. subject 0 to the results of the vetting processes that now apply to all refugees kwrd forced a mission to the united states of america. president trump has made it clear we'll honor the agreement. doesn't mean we admire the agreement. frankly looking back on the last administration the president has never been shy about expressing frustration with other international agreements. >> you may remember the president's frustration over the agreement led to reports of a potential call with the australian prime minister. white house down played any tensions ahead of pence's arrival saying the two allies would reaffirm their positions. coming up scientists are taking a page from the women's march playbook.

remember the millions of men and women who walked worldwide just after the inauguration. well this earth day, today, scientists hope to see the same size crowd. why they say this is about so much more than climate change. also florida firefighters battling 91, 91 different fires. 25,000 acres have already been burned. yesterday alone 22 new fires started. explaining what's going on we'll talk about that and what it will take to get these burns under control. our meteorologist will be having more. >> on the southwest side of the state it's gotten so bad we're dealing with evacuations, 2,000 homes under mandatory evacuation, thousands more under volunteer evacuation. again we talk about 4800 acres burned in just that particular area. we have 29 of those active fires that are 100 acres are larger. massive wildfires.

now we take a look at the forecast. unfortunately not much good news. we have the front coming through. a couple of places have a chance for scattered showers it won't be much and it's low chance. 30% at best. that unfortunately is going to make their drought worse. here's a look at the latest drought monitor. half of the state, the southern half sane severe or moderate state of drought. again we take a look at naples. we got the rain chances slightly today into tomorrow. after that we got absolutely nothing in terms of rain chances and the other thing to note at least the bright side is we're heading in to rainy season coming up. more "new day" is coming up in just a bit. new roundup for lawns has arrived to put unwelcome lawn weeds to rest. so draw the line. roundup for lawns is formulated to kill lawn weeds to the root without harming a single blade of grass. draw the line with roundup for lawns.

it is so good to have your company as always. i'm paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. right now scientists and their supporters are embracing earth day and fighting for science. >> there's a march already under way in australia. 500 cities across the world are planning events. the main event those in washington, d.c., the kick-off just a few hours away at this point. the idea spun from the success of the women's march that we saw earlier this year. >> with the trump administration's proposed cuts researchers are worried about science funding. and they are not encouraged about statements like this. >> the question to climate change the president was straightforward. we're not spending money on that

any more. we consider that to be a waste of your money. >> as one protester told cnn she's marching to show science will not be silenced. >> asa surz is live in london. what your seeing or hearing there? >> reporter: very good morning. the march is preparing to get under way. it kicks off in a half hour sore. we expect roughly 10,000 people here today and what we're seeing, blafl hinting what you just said. it's science not silence. lots of placards i've seen today regarding president trump and the fact that he continues according to some to deny climate change and as well the immediate for science and science based thinking. so today they will be marching from here outside science museum in london all the way to the houses of parliament, trying to

really show the world the importance of science in our daily lives to the economy. as you know scientists, they don't really get out and protest that much than is an opportunity for them to come out here and really speak their minds. interesting too the march, we expect to see in d.c. is very much directed at president trump. yes we've seen a lot of that but a lot of concerns of brexit, uk is leaving the eu, concerns of what that might do in terms of funding, because the eu provides so much funding to science and scientific research. we've seen a lot of people, scientists still have their white jackets but lots and lots of families and children too. >> good to see you. with us now someone who is

participating in today's events, stephanie stuckey. >> a member of the advisory council for earth share. you chuckled when she said scientists don't usually take off their lab coats and get out and march. why do you think this is such a moment for them? >> i think it's great to see not the usual suspects getting engaged in activism. this is a great opportunity to get more people as part of the movement and taking real action and tackling the issues that we're facing with climate change. >> so when we look at the trump administration and some of the decisions that have been made, budget cuts that have been announced what do you see as the threat to environment, to science if there's a single message you're getting from the administration? >> well, i really think cities are where the action. that's the focus even before president trump got elected. cities are facing the brunt of

the impacts of climate change. we're dealing with drought and flooding. we're dealing with food shortages the. and cities very much can take concrete action to tackle what's happening with climate change. you saw that at the paris climate talks. we had over 100 cities making very specific commitments to reduce their carbon footprint and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by making buildings more energy-efficient by having urban agriculture, by having more electric vehicles in their fleet. that's what we're focused on with the city of atlanta and you're seeing that in cities globally with whom i interact on a daily basis. we're just about solutions. >> because the president is rolling back some policies, some environmental policies, if you can sit down with him, what would you want him to know? >> i want to focus on solutions and where there's common ground. president trump has said consistently campaigning and now as president that he supports infrastructure investment. he supports business based

solutions. and if you look at a lot of what we're doing at the city level it's consistent with his messaging. we want to may have more energy-efficient buildings. that's good for business. we want to save water. that's good for business. that makes sense on all levels. and so we're really working on where we can find that common ground so we can move forward. >> it's important to point out and you touched on it there the infrastructure conversation is not divorced from the environment conversation. if you could flush that out just a bit. >> there's a lot of ways you can build cities, design cities. cities have already become 50% of the world's population is clustered in urban cores and we're having more and more people flock to cities. we have to real vice how will we plan and design our infrastructure to accommodate that growth. there's a lot you can do such as green infrastructure, we're seeing that in atlanta and cities throughout the world.

amsterdam, rotterdam is real leaders. we're building retention ponds that are good for the environment, that control flooding and make cost effective sense as well for cities. that's just one example. >> real quickly, people are not sold -- not all people are sold on this. science is supposed to be definitive. why is it so hard to get through to people who are skeptics that human activity is causing climate change? >> it's troubling to think that our world is warming, and i think sometimes people feel powerless in the face of that so they don't want to accept that. it's really an overwhelming concept. the world is rapidly changing and how do we deal with that. so, i respect people who have some skepticism but at the same time the science is pretty clear. every single year recently has been the warmest year on record. atlanta is no exception. 2016 was our hottest year on

record. i'm looking at facts. to me it's not a belief. it's look at the cold hard facts that we're in a warming environment and let's figure out how we can move forward especially at the city level to address those issues. >> all right. >> thank you so much. >> thanks for having me. a former tennessee teach certificate found in a cabin with a 15-year-old teen he's accuse evidence kidnapping. now we're getting a look inside that last hide out. him to stop, drop and roll. luckily jack recently had geico help him with renters insurance. because all his belongings went up in flames. jack got full replacement and now has new pants he ordered from banana republic. visit geico.com and see how affordable renters insurance can be. kevin, meet yourkeviner. kevin kevin

introducing the teen as his 22-year-old wife. now he's facing federal and state charges. his victim is back with her family this morning. let's talk about what happens nxt. our legal analyst is with us. first let's talk about the fact that they found him and when they found him he said something to the extent of, i'm glad this is over. how does what he says in those first few hours affect the case against him? >> good morning. you know the reality is that not with standing what he said i think because it's not so incriminating. i'm glad this is all over. was it sorrowful, remorseful? i don't think it will matter very much. i think what the authorities are going to do is piece together the facts and facts are that he was a tennessee teacher, she was a student. he's 50. she's 15. and he decided to leave with her

from the state, crossing state lines ending up in northern california. and so i think that's where the case will be structured and built. it will be based upon the distinction, not the distinction in ages as much as the fact she's 15 and he used his position and foregroom her, look over her and potentially convince her to move with him to go to northern california. that's where the main focus will be as opposed to his statement. >> the family attorney said essentially she's a little girl in every sense of the word. this was the abduction of an impressionable little child. there will be an emotional impact on her in this. how does what she says about this play into it. many people believe she went willingly. >> for federal purposes it means nothing at all. with regard to federal charge of transporting a minor across state lines for sexual activity if you're under 18 whether you

want as a 15-year-old to go or not go authorities don't care. it carries a sentence of ten years to life in jail. for purposes of the production in tennessee there's a law there that says if you're 12 years old you can go willingly if you want leaving your family. however, that can't be accomplished, that is your leaving under force or threat or some other type of coercion. so we don't know the extent to which he may have been convinced her. all it is now is that even if she does say that, you know, i loved him, i went willingly, he did nothing to her. psychologists would say he groomed her and was overbearing her. it will be prosecuted federally. he face as world of hurt there. let's not forget california may be lodging charges of its own with regard to kidnapping and with respect to another criminal possession of stolen property charge.

>> that's my question to you, when we're talking about state charges versus federal charges, the kidnapping charge in this case that's coming from the state of tennessee that's key, is it not? especially to what might happen on a federal level. are they connected? >> you know, what happens is this, that the federal government is autonomous, obviously they do their thing with federal authority and then, of course, the state authority is autonomous also they can have their prosecution and california can as well. i think what you see and you did see thankfully is the coordination of state agencies, the coordination of federal agencies, but it's a significant charge because the kidnapping charge as i mentioned federally carries a life sentence, with regard to the state charge it's 30 years in tennessee and then you go to california and if he's charged there, you know, he could face life as well. i think there will be a coordinated prosecution. we know he'll be arraigned on monday that's brought before a federal magistrate in sacramento. at that time he'll get the charges read to him and he'll
