. 8:00 in moscow and wherever you are watching for around the world, thanks for joining us. claims of revenge. president trump declaring the u.s. struck isis harder after the terror attack in new york city. the evidence doesn't back him up. more amnesia. despite claiming he has the best memory, he said he can't remember the meeting with the campaign adviser who pleaded guilty to lying about russian contacts. 11 minutes of silence. who deleted the president's

twitter could. new questions about who has access and troubling risks. we start with president trump and a new declaration of war with isis. the u.s. military stepped up attacks on the terror group as retribution for tuesday's terror attack in new york city. listen to this. >> what we are doing is every time we are attacked from this point forward and it took place yesterday, we are hitting them 10 times harder. so when we have an animal on an attack like he did the other day on the west side of manhattan, we are hitting them 10 times harder. they claim to miss a soldier, good luck. we nch it's isis and we hit them like you folks won't believe. >> isis claimed the new york terror attack suspect as a soldier of the caliphate. let's bring in our reporter. the president tweeted that the

military has been hitting isis much harder over the past two days. he said it once again and you heard it before boarding marine one. what are you hearing from officials at the pentagon? >> wolf, there is no clear indication that there has been increase in military activity against isis. in fact statistics by the coalition in iraq and syria showed that the number of air strikes against isis has remained steady over the last few days. the numbers fall from a few months ago when the number of strikes was higher. part of that is there is so much success on the ground against isis. they have been expelled from mosul and raqqa and they are left in a few border towns on the border. there are fewer targets to. there has not been been a dramatic increase on strikes. part of that could be there are always options of special operations and meigs.

we don't know about that. they haven't been publicly talked about. nothing publicly to show the military increased operations. the pentagon not specifically addressing trump's comments. saying that the military remains active fighting isis all over the world with iraq and syria and places like niger, nigeria and the philippines where the u.s. is helping local militaries battle isis affiliated groups. no direct indications or public indications of an up tick in military activity at this time despite what trump said. >> at the pentagon for us with that update, thanks very much. let's go to new developments in the russia collusion and the impact on the president's inner circle. jared kushner delivering do you means to jeff sessions and credibility called into question after new revelations about what he knew about contacts with russia and even new claims about about the president's actions

with a campaign meeting where the russia issue popped up and asked about that meeting today, here's the president's response. >> i don't remember much about that meeting. i don't remember much about it. >> you claim that the campaign never talked to anybody from russia? do you stand by that claim? >> all i can tell you is this. there was no collusion. no nothing. it's a disgrace. >> the white house press secretary sarah sanders said the same thing yesterday that the president didn't remember the meeting and surprising to give them the boast about his memory and even just last week. listen. >> there is no hesitation. one of the great memories of all time, there was no hesitation. >> the president may not remember the meeting, but we know from another foreign policy adviser at the table who said

the president heard him out when george papadopoulos suggested a face-to-face meeting between donald trump and russian officials. jessica schneider is joining us right now. let's start with jared kushner. what more do we know about the do you means that he turned over and what investigators are hoping to learn. >> they handed over do you means that he had from the campaign and the transition. in addition anything he had related to contacts with russia, all to the special counsel's office. this document production is coming at the same time sources tell us investigators have begun asking other witnesses about kushner's role in the firing of fbi director james comby in may. kushner said he was in favor of the decision and didn't press it while multiple sources tell a different story and said kushner was the driver of that decision. either way this cooperation now handing over do you means by

kushner. this was another example of muller's team reaching into the inner circle and continuing that probe into the obstruction of justice issue. >> in the hot seat once again, a former adviser carter page testified in front of the house intelligence committee yesterday. what did he say about his russia contacts and what sessions knew? >> carter page disclosing that he told jeff sessions that he was traveling to russia at the height of the campaign. he said he informed sessions about that trip in a group dinner washington in 2016. while sessions was a top coombe pain surrogate and leading the campaign's national security team. this is what carter page said behind closed doors to the house intelligence committee yesterday. back in june of 2016, i mentioned in passing that i happened to be planning to give a speech at a university in moscow. he continued saying understandably it was as irrelevant then as it is now. page downplaying the brief discussion.

democrats on the hill said sessions's omission of this is problematic. here's the line of questioning from june. >> you aware of any communications with any trump officials or did you have communications with any officials about russia or russian interests in the united states before january 20th? >> no. >> that was a similar answer that sessions gave at multiple hearings including in october. then of course there was that meeting in march 2016 where george papadopoulos sat feet from donald trump and thens ennor jeff sessions. papadopoulos at the time said he wanted to set up a meeting with campaign officials and putin and even trump himself. we are hearing with jd gordon in that meeting as well. he put it this way saying at the time donald trump heard him out. we know that jeff sessions did

dismiss any possibility of a meeting with putin, but sessions never disclosed the details despite repeated questioning over the past year. they want answers. wolf? >> yes, they do. reporting for us, jessica, thanks very much. with investigators on president trump's doorstep, he is getting more aggressive with the justice department. this is part of a series of tweets this morning. people are angry and at some point the justice department and the fbi must do what is right and proper. the american public deserves it. then as the president prepared to leave on his asia trip, he said this on the south lawn of the white house. >> i'm not involve and i would like to let it run itself, but they should be looking at the democrats. they should be looking at podesta and all of that dishonesty. they should be looking at a lot of things and a lot of people are disappointed in the justice department including me.

>> and here's the president in a separate radio interview last night seeming to lament his lack of control over the u.s. justice department. >> the saddest thing is that because of the president of the united states i am not supposed to be involved with the justice department. i'm not supposed to be involved with the fbi. i'm not supposed to be doing the things i would love to be doing and i'm frustrated by it. >> very frustrated. >> the diplomatic and military analyst. and the state department. our cnn legal analyst is with us. cnn politics reporter and editor at large. the editor and columnist for real clear politics. what do you think about what the president said about his inability and he is frustrated that he can't control the justice department and the fbi. >> that's by design and the separation of powers and the policy of procedures in place that assume that the fbi and the

doj should be able to operate independently. his frustration is understandable that he cannot have a hand in it, it hasn't acted as a sensor and if he is aware he cannot be involved with the fbi, it almost begs the question of why you fired the fbi director and why the fired the attorney general sally gates at the time and why you had a hand in the rhetoric about what the justice department does. if you are aware, it hasn't been a time that bound his hands or mouth. >> it's interesting. i think there is like 13 or 14 tweets just today. the day is only halfway through here in washington. he's on a plane flying to hawaii and starting with his asian visit. a lot of these tweets going after crooked hillary repeatedly. after the election, he said he was done going after hillary clinton. didn't need any more investigations and now tweet

after tweet after tweet, he wants the justice department to start a new investigation. he wants the fbi on hillary clinton as well. >> one of my favorite donald trump quotes and one of my favorites is i would be so presidential, you will be bored. he said that in june of 2016 when there were doubts about whether he could transition from pundit attack dog candidate to what we would think of as president. now he said i am modern day president. you act like it most of the time. if i was jeff sessions, i'm not sure i would ever sleep terribly well given donald trump has called you beleaguered and attacked you publicly. i would especially not sleep well right now. donald trump you mentioned eight tweets before 8:30 in the morning. about half of them taking off after crazy bernie, crooked hillary and pocohontas, not very

pleasant reference to elizabeth warren and the justice department. he didn't five more on the plane. it's a long flight to hawaii and he will be on the flight for a while longer. you know, is firing jeff sessions likely to happen today? no, but given donald trump a track record, given his misunderstanding, continued misunderstanding of separation of power and why these things are separate for the good of democracy, i don't rule anything out. >> we just heard him say, a lot of people are disappointed in the justice department including me. that one tweet he said everybody is asking why the justice department and fbi is not looking into the dishonesty with crooked hillary and the dems. you know who runs the justice department. the attorney general of the united states, jeff sessions. >> there are a lot of people around him that would like him

to be super aggressive including steve bannon his chief strategist who would like him to go after mueller and there was worry right now and wonder about whether he intends to fire jeff sessions and bob mueller. one of my favorite quotes about donald trump came a few nights after his election. when she asked whether or not he would proceed to lock uphillry clinton and he said i don't want to hurt them. they are very good people. i don't want to hurt them. this is obviously a way of distracting from what's going on with whatever it is. his agenda and the russia investigation and all of the indictments in the news surrounding that. that's why he keeps talking about how it's a disgrace and there was no collusion. we didn't hear about this and there was a new revelation about tony podesta being targeted by bob mueller. this concern with hillary clinton is a way of distracting

and donald trump makes that clear all the time. he likes to distract. >> it's one thing worth noting is that comey has given the people the perception that we comment on ongoing investigations and the existence of them and whether they do not exist. it's a presumption being made that there is not an investigation. because of the actions taken about that press conference where you outlined the thought process and the logic and discretion that is going in to charge a case, everyone is left saying we should be knowing more by now. the history of the fbi and the department is one where you don't have the tar and feathering happening in public because you don't want this weird thing to happen. >> to react with what the president said started in the tweet, isis claimed the degenerate animal killed and wounded on the west side, was there soldier based on that, the military hit isis much harder over the last two days. they will pay a big price for

every attack on us. you heard a reporter at the pend gon said they looked to see and at least so far there has not been a more accelerated pace. wie can't rule out that they have actionable inteligence. two things are important to remember. there has been for three years a continuous military push against these guys. continuous activity that started under president obama and to trump's credit, he loosened up the rules. what they haven't done and what i think they need to focus more on is countering the narrative. this guy that did this attack was self radicalized here in the united states. i have seen precious little to try to tackle the narrative of isis which continues to propagate to a fine purchase. >> just to add to that point,

being tougher is not a policy. we are going to come back at him 10 times as hard. in the same way when he said this guy should change the laws and get them the death penalty. how? how does that fit into the terms of countering the ideological beliefs and countering what their actions are. there is not anything that surfaced. he said because he thinks it, but then you have hr mcmaster or john kelly. when he was really trying to say he would secure america against these sorts of people. these guys should get the death penalty. that's not the same thing. >> we are watching every step of the way. thank you very, very much. as the president begins his asia trip, north korea accusing the united states of a nuclear strike drill. the national security adviser to

pyongyang. let's discuss with our next guest. he was president obama's national security adviser. thanks very much for joining us. how much is at stake in this presidential visit to asia? >> a lot is at stake. this could be the longest trip this president has taken. five nations and two summits. 12 days in the region. the longest trip that president has taken since george bush 41. what's at stake is asia is going to want to know from the president what does u.s. policy look like in the time of an america first approach. what do they mean? a lot of challenges reassuring allies and reasserting the commitment to the presence and leadership in the region which has been key to the prosperity and security over the last 70 years. what's the approach to economics?

all the questions will be on the table you have the key questions from north korea. >> and the president and the leader of china, china could presumably be doing more to in the north koreans. >> this is the test of the u.s.-china relationship and it needs to be front and center and especially with xi. one of the most important recently was the national party where he emerged for a second five years and that's the most important lead since mao. that's as confident as in modern history. the key test here is going to be china's efforts to deal with the nuclear program. >> what about russia? there is a possibility he could meet on the sidelines with putin during these upcoming 12 days. is that a good idea and if he meets with him, what's the main mission?

>> the current posture between the united states and russia is hostile. russia struck a generally hostile posture and putin returned to the presidency. >> i'm not sure they agree with that. >> that's right. i don't know that he agrees on that, but it's clear. if you look at the russian conduct across the board whether it's in syria or north africa or afghanistan or europe or indeed in the u.s. election of 2016. russia struck a hostile place for the united states. i don't know about the president and president putin would be from a position of strength in a determined way. interestingly as you point out, one of the most important things the president can do and it would do the administration a lot of good is to acknowledge the conclusions of the u.s. intelligence community that russia did attempt to affect the elections and talk about what are we going to do about it in the future.

>> should he? say he does meet with putin. should he say stop it? this is what president obama said to him. do you think he should come down hard and say we know you guys interfered in our presidential election and we know you are still trying to do it. stop it or else you will pay a price? >> the president met with putin after the session. i think at this point if it's important what we do, we ahead at to take steps as a country to ensure we are much better protected against this. >> like what. >> information sharing between the governments and the states and the hardening of our electoral processes and federal networks. i think establishing norms around the world if you expect to cyber. a number of things we can do that will be effective. we have our states need to have funding to harden the systems. a number of things we can do.

>> the president did an interview with fox and he was asked about the vacancies. key positions at the state department that remain unfilled. president obama's national security adviser. you worked closely with the state department clearly. listen to this. >> we don't need all the people. i'm a business person and i my people you don't need to fill slots, don't fill them. we have some people that i'm not happy with. >> you are not getting rid of them? >> the one that matters is me. i'm the only that matters. that's what the policy is going to be. >> i'm the only that matters. what's your reaction? >> the state department as well. >> you worked at the state department and the nfc. when you hear the president say that, what's your reaction? >> i president can't implement his policies without a team. one person needs to be able to

leverage his policies. we have a very serious problem with the government that it's under staffed. i oversaw the pressure campaign for 4.5 years. that took a tremendous amount of diplomacy and effort by a number of agencies. we are trying to do a sanctions campaign against north korea and the same pressure to drive them to the negotiating table. you can't do that alone. that takes an entire all of government effort. indeed i think that the president really misserves himself and limits his ability to execute his policies by not having the government. >> when he said i'm the only that matters. is that a slap at rex tiller? >> he sets the direction of policy for the government, but at the end of the day, he can't execute this by himself. any good ceo would know that. you have to build a team to execute your policies. >> the president continues to weigh in on the terror attack in

new york city earlier in the week. he tweeted this. new york city terrorist was happy as he asked to hang isis flag in his hospital room. he killed eight people and badly injured 12. should get death penalty? is that appropriate? >> it makes the prosecution for the person who carried out the terror attack more difficult. his defense team will argue that it makes getting a fair trail and a jury that can be fair with him more difficult. >> what's your reaction to robert mueller and the special counsel's first legal steps earlier this week. two indictments and one guilty plea? >> i'm not an expert and i don't know the faxes at this point. i know bob mueller though. >> what do you think of him? >> i don't know firsthand knowledge of the faxes, but bob muler is a dedicated public

servant and as experienced as we have in the united states government. he served from the 10-year term and president obama extended his term with the permission of congress in the obama second term. he is fair, tough minded, and again about as experienced of a prosecutor in law enforcement as the united states government has. >> there is pressure on the president to fire him. if he were to do so, some would accused the president of an action of obstruction of justice. >> i'm a national security person and not involved in the legal matters here, but i can tell you this because i said that you have in bob mueller someone who will do his duty. he will take them as they fall and investigate where it takes them. he will be fair, but tough. i guarantee. >> thanks very much for coming in. appreciate it. president trump suggested he should be executed after deserting his base in

afghanistan. a judge deciding bowe bergdahl's fate. we will go there live. stand by. new today, the u.s. unemployment rate hitting the lowest point in 7 years and whether it helps the president. >> tech: so you think this chip is nothing to worry about?

for 11 minutes last night, president trump did not exist on twitter. twitter claims it was taken down by one of the employees on his last day. it raises serious questions. how can a single employee have control of the most influential twitter account in the world? the editor at large joins us from the new york stock

exchange. i top the get your reaction to the latest jobs numbers just released here in the united states earlier today. first to the rogue twitter employee. considering how much weight the president's words carry, the idea that one person can control his twitter account is pretty concerning. tell our viewers what you know. >> what we know is that there was an employee who was leaving the company and before he left the building he took down donald trump's twitter account. twitter ceo jack dorsey said that clearly more needs to be done. clearly there have been failings in how this happened. there is supposed to be a two-person trrule to prevent th and we don't know the mechanics, but the issues it raises, it is extraordinary. twitter probably now is the single most important communication tool that the u.s. government has to the rest of the world. like it or hate it, that's the

truth of the situation. the fact, for example, i will give you one other thought. we don't know how easy or difficult it would have been for somebody to have tweeted from that account. twitter said that is much harder than just taking down the account to actually send a tweet from it, but it certainly raised serious questions about this whole question. ironically though, here at the stock exchange, twitter's stock which has been up by about 15% is up another 1% today. the market is taking this very much in stride. >> interesting. let's get to the new jobs report out here in the united states that shows unemployment dropped to only 4.1%. that's the lowest level here in the united states in 17 years. is this the trump effect? >> in a word, yes. you have to give donald trump and the administration credit because they created an element of confidence that built on the

work that president obama left behind. that is all about the tax reform package, the deregulation, the policies that he has been putting in place and promises to put in place. yes, there is a distinct effect and people can't deny there is an effect of that. having said that though, there is another person we need to remember in all of this. janet yellin. her stewardship of the economy over the last four years that enabled this level of confidence and growth to continue and to be sustainable and the irony of course is yesterday donald trump doesn't renominate the person who is responsible for much of the sustainable growth and job creation. it is an interesting irony and that's the way it is. you can give credit to donald trump for so much so far, yes. the 4.1% and the confidence is

on the back of many of the policies. >> you are at the stock exchange right now. the dow jones hit record levels almost every day. there seems to be a new high. >> in fact it's so frequent, i have become blah say about it. the dow and s&p and nasdaq all at record highs and the number one stock on the dow is apple as it released its apple iphone 10. put this together. you have an economy that is not booming, but is solid and sustainable. >> at the new york stock exchange, thanks for that assessment. more news we are following. after lamenting, he is not supposed to affect the department of justice, he calls for the departments to investigate hillary clinton. a key member here is standing by.

we have lots to discuss including his meeting with former trump aide carter page. y! curse you, he-man, you interfering imbecile! give us one good reason we shouldn't vanquish you to another dimension! ok, guys, hear me out. switching to geico could save you... hundreds on car insurance. huh, he does make a point... i do like to save money... catch you on the flip, suckas! geico. because saving fifteen percent or more on car insurance is always a great answer.

hours after lamenting that it's sad and frustrating that he can't influence federal investigations hoorksy is urging them to investigate his former rival hillary clinton. president trump said and i'm quoting, everyone is asking why the fbi is not looking into clinton and the democrats were stealing the primary from senator bernie sanders. he ends another tweet writing this. let's go fbi and justice department. the outburst didn't end there. president trump went on to say this. just outside the white house as he was getting ready to leave.

>> a lot of things and a lot of people are disappointed in the justice department including me. >> i want to discuss the president's comments and more with a man who serves on the house intelligence committee. congressman, thanks for joining us. what's your reaction to the president pooshing the department of justice and the fbi to investigate hillary clinton. >> a lot of reactions. i'm beginning to think the president is obsessed and a little like captain a hab and hillary clinton is his moby dick. i don't know that we should take legal advice from the guy whose top two operatives and deputy chair are under house arrest and another one is entered into a plea agreement. i don't know that we should take legal advice from someone who has been sued more times than i

can count in civil 3r0edinproce. i don't know that he's the best guy to give advice. >> should democrats look into whether the democratic national committee rigged the primary in favor of hillary clinton. you heard the accusations by the deputy chair of donna brazile. >> sure. of course if that allegation is raised and there appears to be some substance behind it, it's worthy of examination. where was the concern on the part of the president when a foreign power, in fact that is not friendly, namely russia, was hacking the dnc. he spent the last year calling it a hoax. the measure of his concern about the health of the dnc i think is on full display. he has none. >> the committee interviewed the former adviser carter page for more than six hours yesterday. page emerged telling cnn and he

testified during the campaign he mentioned to jeff sessions in passing he said he was traveling to moscow based on his testimony, does this seem like a conversation that the now attorney general should have remembered and would have remembered? >> yes, wolf, but that conversation that he should have revealed and disclosed needs to get in line with other conversations he should have revealed and disclosed dating back to his confirmation when he didn't remember having private conversations with the ambassador from russia and denied doing so. of course it should have been revealed by attorney general sessions. >> sessions as you pointed out didn't recall this conversation or others about russia. at least three times as you point out during his testimony. various appearances before congress. your colleague congressman mike quigley said he believes that sessions actually perjuried himself. do you agree that the attorney general perjuried himself?

>> i think two dots make a line, wolf. at a minimum it's worthy of investigation in and of itself. he said that on its face is not true. >> you would agree that he perjuried himself? >> so i'm not going to sit as judge and jury because i think there is a legal element of intent here, but what i'm saying is he has done it not once or twice, but three or more occasions. in and of itself it is worthy of investigation. >> the president keeps saying your committee and the other committees investigating have not found any evidence of collusion between the trump campaign and himself and the russians. even though you are continuing to look. have you found evidence of direct collusion? >> sure. it's hiding in plain sight. when the e-mail was sent to donald trump saying as an
