president trump saying publicly for the first time today that he is under investigatio investigation. >> i think it's an example of the president taking no responsibility for anything he does. >> he is adding more fire power to his legal team. >> president trump hired another high profile lawyer to defend him in the investigation. >> this is very, very serious. an obstruction of justice charge is very serious. >> the president of the united states cannot obstruct justice. >> we got to the point where the president's own lawyer has to
3:01 am
hire a lawyer. >> nobody has unimpeachable credentials. >> this is a president who engaged in questionable behavior over the last several months. >> if he's really not guilty he will be happy to be exonerated by somebody out to find the truth. this is "new day" weekend with victor black well and christi paul. good morning, everyone. i'm rene marsh in for christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. we will start with the developing story off the coast of japan. where seven u.s. sailors are missing and another three u.s. service men are all in stable condition after the "uss fitzerald" collided with a merchant ship. the ship left the u.s. naval base in yokosuka for routine operations when the incident happened. this was at about 2:30 a.m.
3:02 am
local time. >> the fitzgerald is now back at the port of yokosuka after suffering damage that resulted in some flooding. that flooding has now stabilized. we go now to tokyo for the latest on this story. >> reporter: thanks. it's been 15, 16 hours since this incident occurred off the coast of japan involving the "uss fitzgerald" and a container ship. the "uss fitzgerald" has been towed back into its home port of yokosuka about two hours ago. the u.s. navy is saying a lot of damage occurred on the starboard side, that would be the right-hand side. though the pictures only show you damage to what happened above the waterline, it seems the gravest damage occurred beneath the water line. so we're talking about areas in the berthing area, the machinery
3:03 am
area and the radio room suffered significant damage. and they had been taking the water out of that area. they still don't know how long it will be before they can access the areas. the u.s. navy says divers will be going there as soons a possible to determine exactly what happened in the middle of the night when this destroyer collided with a container vessel. the search operations for the seven crew members missing from the "uss fitzgerald" continues. these involve vessels and helicopters. it's now past 7:00 p.m. local time here in japan. night will be falling momentarily. possibly complicating some search efforts that are underway. we know that this area where the collision took place last night is a very, very congested area. it basically is the route that many ships use to enter the
3:04 am
ports of both yokohama and tokyo, which are the two busiest ports in japan. the vessel involved, the philippine vessel involved was making that journey itself across the pacific coastline in japan. the japanese coast guard says some 400 to 500 vessels use this route, this channel, and that there have been a number of incidents in the past involving commercial vessels. but the big question, i think everyone has right now is how could one of the most advanced destroyers in the u.s. fleet, how could it not have averted such an incident? did it not see this container ship approaching it, even if it was in the middle of the night? we still don't have any of the answers to those questions. of course a lot of concern about the seven missing people on board, who are on board.
3:05 am
300 to 330 crew members were on board the "uss fitzgeralfitzger seven are still missing. three were injured. all were airlifted out of the ship earlier on in the day including the commander, mr. bryce benson, who was also airlifted. at this moment we're waiting on news on how and when the divers will get access to the "uss fitzgerald." >> okay. thank you very much. time is ticking as they search for those seven missing u.s. sailors. thank you very much. back at home, the coast guard says all passengers are back on shore after a high-speed ferry accident. this was in massachusetts. several passengers had to be medevac'd after sustaining injuries when the vessel hit a jetty in hithe harbor.
3:06 am
rough seas, strong winds were a couple of the factors that hindered initial efforts. >> joining me on the phone is the command center chief for the coast guard southeastern new england. talk to us about where things stand at this point. >> good morning. all passengers have been evacuated safely from the ship. coast guard crews and local responders responded late last night to the grounding. the first people taken off were the people most injured. taken off via helicopter, taken to medical care. rough seas did impede the rescue. the boat was pretty high on the rocks which made it difficult for crews to get alongside the vessel and made it dangerous for people to exit the vessel. because of that the coast guard
3:07 am
continued their air evacuation. 10 additional passengers, a total of 48 taken by air to the local municipal airport. remaining passengers taken by sea to the local incident command post. >> those passengers who had to be medevac'd, do you know anything more as far as their condition at this point? >> i'm sorry, i don't have further information. >> i know you all are pretty much involved in the rescue effort. that apparently was very tough in rescuing those folks there because of the conditions. any indication now preliminary ideas as far as what may have caused this ferry accident? >> no the coast guard will investigate exactly as we do in all accidents. right now we have no word on the cause. >> all right. still very early. glad to hear those people were able to be rescued. thank you very much, lieutenant.
3:08 am
president trump is beefing up his legal team adding a veteran washington lawyer to his defense amid the expanding russian investigation. now on board attorney john dowd who once led the investigation into the pete rose betting scandal for major league baseball. >> this as cnn learns that tensions are rising at the justice department over the russia probe and deputy attorney general rod rosenstein. he's under new scrutiny and now may be forced to recuse himself from overseeing the probe for his role in the firing of former fbi director james comey. >> for the first time friday in a statement via twitter the president acknowledged he's being investigated for comey's firing and blaming rosenstein, for what he calls a witch hunt. the question is will the deputy attorney general be the second top official at the justice department to recuse himself in the russian investigation. evan peres has more.
3:09 am
>> reporter: all indications are that deputy attorney general rod rosenstein could soon become a witness in russian meddling in the 2016 elections. rosenstein is the highest ranking justice department official overseeing the russian probe and wrote the memo used by president trump to fire james comey. comey's firing is expected to soon be part of the widening investigation into whether the president interfered with or tried to obstruct the russia investigation. if that happens, and rosenstein becomes a witness in the investigation, he may have to recuse himself from the probe now being led by special counsel robert mueller. these developments come as tensions are building inside the justice department over rosenstein's handling of the russian investigation. it comes back to rosenstein's decision to hire mueller to run the investigation. that move took rosenstein's boss, attorney general jeff sessions by surprise and has caused friction between the white house and the justice
3:10 am
department. sessions is already recused from this investigation. officials from the president on down blame rosenstein's decision for making the controversy over russia to only get worse. we'll learn soon whether mueller's investigation forces rosenstein to step aside. back to you. >> evan, thank you very much. let's bring inn errol lewis, sarah westwood and our cnn legal analyst. joey, let's start with you. rod rosenstein sent this standard with the interview with the a.p. earlier this month, he said if anything i did winds up being relevant to mueller's investigation, i will recuse. he wrote the letter on which the white house initially said that the president based his decision to fire comey. is this a question of when and not if now? >> it absolutely is. this is an investigation about
3:11 am
integrity. you want to make sure that no matter what the special council's findings are, they're respected. and that they're respected by both sides of the aisle. you know the partisanship in washington. you know the entrenched sides and position in washington. as a result of that, i don't think, you know, if it becomes relevant, and it is relevant. clearly he wrote a memo. that memorandum contained the basis for which comey was fired. if that was the basis for which comey was fired -- and the president says it wasn't, that he would have fired him any way. the appearance of any conflict of level rises to the level wherein he will step aside and leaving ms. brand, the third at the attorney general's office in charge of the investigation. it's inevitable, it's a question of when he moves aside. >> errol, what do you think? >> it's not entirely clear where
3:12 am
we are in the investigation. there's been a lot of great reporting. a lot of well sourced information in the white house they call it a leak. but we actually don't know really where mueller is. he's still staffing up. looking at a number of different things from what the reporting suggests. it's not clear whether or not this particular memo, this particular question about the firing of james comey is where the investigation is focused right now. keep in mind it was a broad mandate to go out and look at everything having to do with russian meddling. the firing of james comey was one piece of it. there's more to look at. >> sarah, speaking of firing, the latest is from roger stone, a friend and adviser of president trump, saying he should fire mueller and rosenstein. you're the white house correspondent on the panel. how real is that conversation in the white house? >> president trump is certainly getting that advice from outside advisers. it's not just people who are more on the fringe like roger
3:13 am
stone. we're hearing it from former speaker of the house, newt gingrich. somebody close to president trump during the campaign. he's being pushed by allies to consider removing mueller and now rosenstein. that's a remarkable shift that trump had when rosenstein was first named as special counsel. he was not going after his investigators. he was careful to walk that line. we saw it get blurred this week with him tweeting about rod rosenste rosenstein, essentially confirming that potentially an investigation into obstruction was continuing under rosenstein's watch. so now we're seeing him move more in the direction of potentially putting himself in position to mroef thoremove tho officials down the line. >> the president essentially acknowledging that he's being investigated for potential
3:14 am
obstruction of justice, joey. listen to former house speaker newt gingrich who was out promoting his new book about donald trump on the idea that the president could obstruct justice. here's what he says. >> technically, the president of the united states cannot obstruct justice. the president of the united states is the chief executive officer of the united states. if he wants to fire the fbi director, all he has to do is fire him. >> i hand that to you, joey jackson. the president cannot obstruct justice. >> victor, i say this in the most objective way that i can, that's one of the most irresponsibility statements i've ever seen made coming out of washington. my basis for that, basis number one, going back to 1974, there were three articles of impeachment against nixon. article one, obstruction of justice. 24 years later, 1998, another president, bill clinton, he was in the white house. we had a certain congressman, newt gingrich, guess what,
3:15 am
article three of the impeachment proceedings, obstruction of justice. and newt gingrich voted for that. so i'm not sure how you can be a sitting congressman and speaker of the house voting for articles of impeachment which passed through, as we know. bill clinton acquitted in the senate. but now you voted articles of obstruction of justice against the president, you can obstruct justice. let me say one other thing. many have said, and i disagree from a legal perspective, that the president can fire a special prosecutor. he would have to order, that is president trump, the attorney general to do so. the attorney general recused himself. so we may see another recusal in rod rosenstein, so we may see ms. brand, if she takes over. so what if she resigns? this could get rather messy. >> rosenstein said he would only fire if there is cause. let's play for you what newt
3:16 am
gring ri gingrich said in the '90s. >> what you have lived through for 2 1/2 long years is the most systematic, deliberate, obstruction of justice coverup and effort to avoid the truth. >> speaking of the clintons there. so president clinton could obstruct justice, but president trump cannot. >> right. obviously that is inconsistent from newt gingrich. he's not in a position of power now, but he has president trump's ear. that's why those comments are concerning to a lot of republicans, because it's obviously bad advice to give the president at a time when he's being investigated for removing another law enforcement official looking into his investigation to attempt to remove a second law enforcement official looking into events that he says did not take place, looking into a
3:17 am
situation where he claims he's innocent, removing not one but two law enforcement officials investigating those events creates a problem unto itself no matter what the underlying crime is. >> errol quickly, these tweets that we saw yesterday morning about being investigated from the president, that these surprised the white house staff, surprised his legal staff, but these were strategic on the part of the president. what's the strategy from the president? >> i must tell you, i do not subscribe to this theory that lease a he's acting in some deep strategic way playing four dimensional play while the rest of us watch. the president is impulsive, frightened by this investigation, making his wishes known, even though he's walking himself into a lot of political and legal corners. >> all right. thank you very much. >> thanks. >> thank you. also in washington this week, this morning congressman steve scalise is still in
3:18 am
critical condition after this week's shooting ambush in virginia. but doctors say they are encouraged by the progress the majority whip has made since the attack. they say the congressman was in "imminentdeath" when he arrived at the hospital on wednesday. he's now stabilized. in the meantime a look into the state of the mind of james hodgkinson. a list of names, including some republican members of congress, was found on the shooter. none of the victims in the attack were on that list. the source says that it is not clear it was an assassination list. day six and still no verdict in the bill cosby trial. the comedian speaks to supporters there. you will hear from him and that message he had as we now go into a weekend of deliberations. and thousands march in the streets after an officer is acquitted in the shooting death

cosby's civil deposition on quaaludes, given quaaludes to young women he wanted to have sex with and the definition of reasonable doubt. at one point the judge under oath questioned bill cosby outside the presence of the jury saying your attorney is asking for numerous mistrial opinions, is it your consent to that? because if i do that, the commonwealth can retry you on these same charges and you cannot claim double jeopardy. victor, rene? >> in 50 plus hours of deliberations, how much longer will this go on? let's bring in joey jackson, cnn legal analyst and criminal defense attorney. first the jury said they were deadlocked. now they can't seem to stop deliberating. why is this going on so long? >> good morning, rene.

these are tough questions. remember this case, it's not like there's a smoking gun no forensic evidence. we're looking at events that occurred years ago, back in 2003. when you have that, you essentially set up a situation where she said, andrea con stst, this was not con sensusensual, took advantage of me. he says this was con sensuconse you are going to believe? so the jury is trying to assess credibility. is it what andrea constand said? let's find out. let's re-examine the statement she gave when initially in canada let's look at that verse later statement she's gave to police verses what she said on the witness stand. let's see what her mother said about it. in addition to that, you have them saying what did bill cosby say initially when he was
3:27 am
interviewed by police? and what did he say in the definitions? you set up an instance where they're weighing both sides. you have two narratives in there. those two narratives sound compelling. bill cosby's narrative, he did testify, though he didn't testify because his statement was read into the record from his deposition, his statement to the police was read into the record so there's testimony from him, and they're trying to sort it out. on the question, think about what jean casarez said, they asked for the definition of reasonable doubt. what is reasonable doubt? doubt beyond all certainty? mathematical doubt at all? what is it? we need to know so we can decide is it she or is it he and we can make a decision. >> joey jackson, thank you very much for joining us. huge protests after an officer is acquitted in the shooting death of philandro castil castillo. this is coming after the shooting was shown live on facebook. but the peaceful demonstration

welcome back. at least four people are dead this morning after two simultaneous terror attacks in israel. there are conflicting reports about who may be behind the attacks. in two separate incidents three palestinians armed with semiautomatic weapons and knives attacked a group of police officers in jerusalem's old city. all three were killed by security forces at the scene. >> the israeli army says the attack was perpetrated by a local cell that doesn't belong to any terror organization. that contradicts a claim by isis that for the first time it carried out an attack in israel as well as a statement by the palestinian mill tantd groitants which dismissed the isis claims saying the attack was carried out by local groups. london is still grieving in the aftermath of the tower fire
