i said, i don't know. it's weird. i just treat them like human beings. >> people go, do the indian accent. you can't. you have to physically become the indian accent. like, i'm talking to you like this, but if i had to change, suddenly my body has changed. my hands, eyes, everything is different. >> we have to morph. and that's really what it's about. you know? u.s. president donald trump still not convinced that russia interfered in the u.s. election, despite the unanimous agreement that russia did interfere. plus, tragedy in the u.s. state of texas. nine people are dead. dozens injured in a suspected case of human trafficking. their bodies found inside a sweltering tractor trailer at walmart park lot. we'll have that story. and later, this. outrage and violence in jerusalem as israel steps up security at a sacred site. live from cnn world head

quarters in atlanta. we welcome our viewers in the united states and all around the world. i'm george howell. "cnn newsroom" starts right now. >> 3:00 a.m. on the u.s. east coast. did russia meddle in the u.s. election in 2016? that is the question to which u.s. intelligence agencies unanimously agree it did. but the president of the united states is not so sure. that's the word from his new communications director, noouj scar movi nooench /* anthony sca/* anthone said. >> he told me yesterday, i won't tell you who, if the russians spilled out these e-mails you would have never seen it. you would have nef had any evidence. they are super confident in their deception skills and hacking. my point is, all of the

information isn't on the table yet. here is what i know about the president -- >> wait, wait, wait, anthony -- >> let me finish. >> you are making a lot of assertions here. >> i don't know who the anonymous person is who said if we couldn't -- >> how about the president, jake. he called me from air force 1 and said to me, hey, maybe they did it, maybe they didn't do it. i will maintain for you -- >> this is exactly the position here. we with have experts. u.s. intelligence agencies unanimous, both obama appointees and trump appointees. the director of national intelligence. head of the national security agency. head of the fbi. all of these intelligence experts saying russia hacked the election. they tried to interfere in the election. no votes were changed but there was disinformation and misinformation campaign. president trump is contradicting

it and you're siding with president trump. >> i didn't say i was siding with president trump. >> this is exactly the point. here you have a bill, legislation passed 98-2 in the u.s. senate. house is about to pass it. it will probably also be an overwhelming vote to sanction russia and president trump told you that he still doesn't believe that russia was trying to interfere in the election. even though the overwhelming body of the u.s. senate controlled by republicans and his own intelligence experts are telling hip the opposite. you say you will side with the president. don't you owe a duty to the truth? >> what about the conversation are you missing, jake? there are checks and balances in the system for a reason, okay? the president will make that decision when he make the decision. you're telling me that something is true that in fact could in fact be true. i don't have the information in front of me. once i have cleared my security clearances and i've looked at the stuff, if i think it's true

behind closed doors i'll turn to the president very directly and say, sir, i think this stuff is true. but i don't have it right now. >> my question is the fact that a geo-political foe of the united states, russia, interfered in the united states election, according to every intelligence expert under the trump administration and obama administration. the one person in the government who says it's not true is president trump. >> again, one of the reasons he is upset about it is this sort of -- the mainstream media position on this, they interfered in the election, it actually, in his mind, what are you suggesting? delegitmize his victory? is that going to make his victory ill legitimate is that the point of it? >> no. >> he legitimately won the president spip. >> absolutely. >> do we agree on that. >> he genuinely won the president. absolutely. >> so at the end of the day, let him make the decision. as i said, once i have security

clearance and i meet with those people myself, if i think it's true, i'm going to turn to the president very honestly, we have a great relationship, and say, sir, i think is true. >> u.s. intelligence says that it is true. you heard jake tapper mention that. u.s. intelligence community and its conclusion that russia did attack the united states with the 2016 election by cyber hacking. here is what president trump's own intel team has it say about it. >> can you tell us, is there any dissent within the u.s. intelligence on the question of whether the russians interfered with the -- >> there is no dissent, i stated that publicly. i stated that to the president. i am confident the russians meddled in this election as is the entire intelligence community. >> i stand behind the intelligence committee. the intelligence we produced in january. >> there you have it. as we mentioned, president trump will soon have to decide whether or not to support tougher sanctions on russia. his communications director,

anthony scar movie hasn't yet decided but sarah huckabee sanders add different take on that issue. listen. >> we support where the legislation is now. we will continue working with the house and senate it put those tough sanctions in place on russia until the situation in ukraine is fully resolved. it certainly isn't right now. >> when it comes to election meddling, there is little evidence mr. trump might change his mind. on sunday he tweeted this. as phony russian witch hunt continues, two groups are laughing at this excuse for lost election taking hold. democrats and russians, says the president. put all this in context now. leslie is a senior lecturer in international relations at university of london. good to have you with us, leslie. let's talk about this. we heart exchange between anthony scare movie and our own jake tapper. the intelligence community says

unanimously, it happened. the answer though not so clear coming from the president and his staff. what did you make of this? >> this has been going on for weeks. a mixed message by the white house and president. it intensified the last few dayes with changes to his senior staff. with this disagreement that you just noted. of course it is a very d significant distraction. once again we are taking back to the question of whether or not there is support for findings of the intelligence committee, intelligence agencies. and what will take place next. with respect for support of the sanctions. the president made a comment saying he could pardon those under investigation. which of course i think would be tremendously controversial. and raisees a whole host of questions. but i think the key thing here is that once again rather than

standing up and saying we must investigate, this is very important, a grave issue, risk to the security and intel rit of america's democracy, what we're getting instead is a very aggressive response, mixed messages. and it is continuing to cast a cloud over the presidency, over the white house. and to be tremendously distracting for the broader set of priorities that president trump entered the white house wanting to pursue. both legislatively and with respect to foreign policy. >> there is mixed messages. what is that like with contradiction? we hear from the new communications director on one very important issue. let's listen to this. we can talk about it on the other side, leslie? >> let me ask you one less russia question, then i want to talk about agenda in a tweet this week. the president said this, this weekend, he asserted his complete power to pardon. question, if he and his people have done nothing wrong, why

even talk about pardons? >> you see, this is, again, one of those things about washington and it's the con view lugs of things. >> here is the question, there's a great deal of talk about the powers of presidential pardon here over the last week, whether the president would look to pardon his staff. family members. perhaps even himself. we are hearing more about that. now we hear obviously that's not the case from the new communications director. here's the question. is this just talk or could this seriously be considered? >> well, i think initially it feels like it is just talk. like the president is in a sense grabbing for straws to try and get this put away. but of course the pardon power is a very powerful one, very

controversial one. but i think what was just said is very important. to suggest this early in the presidency. this early in investigations that there should be a pardon, absolutely raises the question that it implies that there is guilt. and that's an good road to go down. what needs it take place is to look to allow investigations to go forward and even if there were a pardon, even if the president decided to use his power to pardon, investigations would continue. doesn't prevent investigations from going forward. but the power to pardon is one that was put in place to be in the public interest, temper justice with mercy. think about the stability of the country and in this case, what really needs to take place is that investigations need to go forward for the integrity of democracy. and so the pardon seems very inappropriately placed. but again raising the issue and the way it was raised castes a whole suspicion over the

presidency. by implicitly suggesting there's guilt and a need for pardon. >> leslie vinjamuri, thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >> president trump's son-in-law and senior adviser is due in capitol hill. jared kushner will meet with senior staffers to answer questions about alleged ties between the trump campaign and russia. additionally donald trump jr. and former trump campaign manager paul manafort have agreed to provide records to the senate judiciary committee. investigators want to know about a meeting that took place at trump tower in june of last year where the trump team was promised damaging information on hillary clinton from the russian government. straight to moscow now. following this story for us this hour, claire? so the focus this week will be on the people involved that meet willing, at trump tower with this russian attorney. what more can you tell us about

this toerp aattorney and her ap ties to government? >> yeah, george, a couple of things. first of all it has to be noted that natalia, attorney, denied she had any links to the russian government and the kremlin for its part also denied that saying they didn't know her and they didn't know the meeting was taking place. but there are a couple of things raising questions. we know she did once represent a tar tar military russian state service, a property dispute that ran for eight years between 2005 and 2013. she sonded to thresponded to th there is nothing to see here. she represented all kind of people if we look closer to records. this doesn't prove any formal relationship with the russian government but whether or not she was asked to do so by the kremlin itself, she has for many years been acting in their

interest. she is an active lobbyist against the magnitsky act, a package of sanctions that came in in 2012 against russian individuals suspected of being engaged in human rights abuse. she was in trump tower, all talking about that, trying to get an adoption ban lifted that russia imposed on american families wanting to adopt u.s. children. this is what she said was the stated purpose of that meeting. but you know, she has said to us that she isn't going to say any more for the moment without her lawyers. but she is willing to testify before the senate if called to do so. so still a lot of questions swirling about this attorney, george. >> claire, here in the united states, there is a new round of sanctions that is gaining traction. it has bipartisan support and even provision written in it that prevents the president, if he were to do so from watering down these sanctions. these sanctions focused on

russia and north korea, iran. the question that i have for you is, is there any new government response given the fact russia could face these new sanctions? >> george, we have a very brief response from the kremlin over the weekend. all they told us is that they view this quote quite negatively. perhaps a bit of an understatement. and pointing out that russian media points out that increasingly latches on and it is not just russia. we had a statement out from a spokesman from the eu commission that warned of unintended consequences from this new round of sanctions if they are signed into law. they said she could have widespread impact. so russia keen to point out here it is not just them that views this negatively but perhaps the eu as well. george? >> clare sebastian, thanks for

the reporting. >> cnn traction down the russian pop star linked to the infamous meeting at trump tower. >> who arranged the meeting between donald trump jr and the russian lawyer? >> find out what else he has to say as "cnn newsroom" continues. cover everything. t only about 80% of your part b medical expenses. the rest is up to you. so consider an aarp medicare supplement insurance plan, insured by unitedhealthcare insurance company. like all standardized medicare supplement insurance plans, they could save you in out-of-pocket medical costs. call today to request a free decision guide. with these types of plans, you'll be able to visit any doctor or hospital that accepts medicare patients... plus, there are no networks, and virtually no referrals needed. join the millions who have already enrolled in the only medicare supplement insurance plans endorsed by aarp...

british princess, william

and harry, are opening up in a way we've never seen before about their mother. in a documentary the royal brothers deeply regret the last conversation they wd their mother, diana, princess of wales. william, then 15. and harry, who was just 12, neither had any idea that the phone call would be their final call with their mother. diana died in a car crash on august 31 of 1997. now the princess are sharing touching stories of their mother 20 years after her tragic death. >> our mother was a total kid through and through. what everybody says to me, you know, so she was fun, give us an example, all i can hear is her laugh. in my head. and that's sort of crazy laugh of where there was just pure happiness shown on her face.

>> one of her sayings to me is, you can be as naughty as you want, just don't get caught. she would come watch us play football and smuggle sweets into our socks. we would walk back from a match and have five packets of star burst. just full of sweets. then go to the top box and lock it up. a couple of memories i have that are particularly funny. just outside the room where we are now. she organized, when i came home from school, to have cindy crawford, christie turlgton and naomi campbell wait at the top of the stairs. i was a 12 or 13-year-old boy, i had posters of them all. i went bright red and didn't know what to say. and fumbled. i think i fell down the stairs on the way out. i was completely awe struck. that was a very funny memory

that lived with me forever but her loving and embarrassing and being this sort of joker. >> diana, our mother were her life and legacy. the documentary airs monday night on itv in the united kingdom and on hbo here in the united states. now let's bring in our royal commentator, kate williams live this hour from our london bureau. kate, i want to show you something. this just crossed our news desk. i think you will find this quite interesting. again these new images from kensington palace twitter. two more family photographs with the late diana from the princess of wales personal photo album. you see it there. as you see these and again these are images will be featured in the documentary, what are your thoughts? >> these are are really very moving insights into the young princes. we just saw william and harry talking so eloquently thereabout

how informal diana was as a mother. how naughty she was. this real bond between mother and sons. this really incredible bond comes across in their words. but also as you say, george, in these new photos that kensington palace tweeted out this morning, private photos, from the family photo album of william, harry, diane, in happier times. times when they were all all ha together and showes what a wonderful mother she was and what a great hole she left when she died in 1997 and left them without a mother. >> kate, one can only imagine what it was like for these two young boys when this happened 20 years ago. the documentary focuses on the final phone call between a mother and her sons. a chat that harry says will haunt him for the rest of his life. they just wanted to get away and go back to playing. they didn't realize that that was it. >> yes. this is very sad. william and harry, of course at

the time, diane was in paris. william and harry were with the queen, with prince charles, with their cousins and having wonderful summer holiday, enjoying playing outside with their cousins. when diana phoned to speak to them they wanted to get back out and play outside again. so harry spoke very quickly to diane. william spoke very quickly to her and they both said how much they regret that now. if they had known they were have spoken to her for longer. william said i was blase. that's how children are, they want to play outside. not chat with their parents for hours, especially when they are 12 and 15. that shows they were normal children and how much they still blame themselves for diana's death and still in pain over it. this video reminds us that even though they are incredibly privileged that children with a parent very young gives you a wound that is very difficult to experience and get over.

>> we also get insight into the relationship. when you read between the lines and listen to what they say, you get insight to the relationship that this mother had with each of her boys. >> it is a wonderful relationship. they are talking about how informal she was. we know the royal family is quite formal. prince charles can be very, very formal. diana would say, i'm going to take you out into my car, drive you around. come to the football matches and give you sweets. that is great when william said she is one of naughtiest parents and she is always thinking of them. and william says i miss her everyday. i miss the hugs. i'm a grown man now but i miss them, i miss my brother's love. it showed what massive part of their lives she was. and diana was a wonderful charity ambassador, wonderful princess, great part of the public life. but to her, her greatest role was a mother. she saw being a mother as her most important role and

absolutely devoted to those princes. just shows how heart breaking it is that they lost her so very young. >> the death of diane why, 20 years ago, you know, this is very important. in the united kingdom and quite frankly around the world. but what did it mean for so many people to lose her? >> it was so affecting. i remember at the time, businessmen getting off the tube in floods of tears carrying bunches of flowers for her. and harry, talks about that, and he said, it was very hard for me. here are all these people who didn't know her in tears. weeping over her. and i couldn't feel the emotion. he was obviously in shock. this is a moment of great seismic emotion for britain, for the whole world in which not only this young mother, young mother with her whole life ahead of her taken from us too young. but also really affected the family's popularity. a difficult time for them. >> definitely.

many people remember that day. thank you so much. thank you for being with us. you're watching cnn.

pardons have not been discussed. >> i was in the oval office, we're talking about that. he said he brought that up. >> days after retooling the press op, the white house can't find consistent answers on major issues including russia. sanctions and whether the president would issue pardons. and jared kushner set to go before staffers during the senate intel committee. could
