misconduct taking center stage. senator al franken apologizing again over groping allegations, saying he is embarrassed and ashamed. while congressman john conyers gives up his top post on the zhuszh ear committee as he faces an ethics investigation over sexual harassment claims. president trump is refuse to go withdraw support for embattled gop roy moore. he is giving reasons why moore should be the winner of the election. the president is privately doubting the awe then advertise i did of that vulgar "access hollywood" tape that he is on talking with the host, even after he publicly apologized for his own words. all of this as congress comes back to work. they have a daunt to go-do list. they are hoping to win over skeptical senators and get that version of the tax bill passed this week. the possibility of a government shutdown is looming into the

next week. we have it all covered for you. let's begin with jessica schneider live in washington outside the cfpb. very much in focus right now. >> reporter: you got it, chris. the stage is set here for a potential showdown. a source does tell cnn that nick mulvaney, the president's pick to lead this bureau, will show up for work later this morning. but this lawsuit filed last night said the president has no authority to name mulvaney as his pick, especially when someone else is already lined up. president trump now facing a legal battle over who will head the consumer financial protection bureau. le andra english is suing to stop the president from installing his budget director as head of the watch dog agency, declaring the appointment unlawful and calling herself the rightful director. the lawsuit is seeking legal clarity within the agency. a source close to mulvaney tells

cnn that he will show up for work today at the agency expecting a normal transition rather than a showdown for power. president trump's decision also controversial. mulvaney has been a harsh critic which was created after the global economic crisis in 2008. it is designed to protect consumers from predatory financial constitutions. >> it's a wonderful example of how a bureaucracy will function if it has no accountability to anybody. it turns up being a joke. that's what it has been in a sick, sad kind of way. >> reporter: mulvaney also voted to end the bureau, working with the president to roll back some of the agency's power, even slamming the agency before the senate budget committee back in january. >> they are run by essentially a one-person dictator believes he can't even be fired by the president but for cause. we have created the worst kind of government entity. >> reporter: the tug of war over

leadership began friday when richard cordray resigned name le andra english his successor. the president stepped in naming mulvaney as acting director. senator warren is saying the president is overstepping his authority. the dodd-frank act says the deputy director becomes acting director when the top spot becomes vacant. but the president can report an acting head to an agency already confirmed by the senate. republicans are applauding mulvaney's appointment. >> i think the president is on good ground here to appoint somebody under the vacancy statute. it is the most out of control, unaccountable federal agency in washington. >> reporter: while democrats are slamming it as a political move. >> wall street hates it like the

devil hates holy water. they are trying to put app end to it. >> reporter: but this morning the top lawyer here at the bureau is siding with the trump administration. mary mclloyd has written a realm dumb saying the president has full authority to name mulvaney as acting director, saying it is unfortunate mr. cord a put his political ambition above with this stunt. chr chris, that lawsuit still stands that was filed last night. >> appreciate it. sexual harassment scandals, we are seeing them on both sides of the aisle and they are gripping washington. a critical week in their legislative agenda under the weight of these scandals. suzanne malveaux is live on capitol hill with more. suzanne? >> reporter: good morning, chris. we expect the president to be here on capitol hill this week.

on tuesday's meeting with senate republicans for their lunch. he is trying to push forward a tax reform plan. this as the year approaches no major legislative victories, promising before christmas to get something done. as you mentioned, all of this happens under this cloud of sexual misconduct, sexual harassment charges. al franken, democrat from minnesota, he heavy thanksgiving break without addressing this over the weekend. he broke his silence to a local media essentially saying he was shocked, that he ex pregnancied remorse. but he also said he has no intention of stepping down. what he wants to do is essentially reearn the trust of the voters. >> i'm talking responsibility. i've apologized to women who felt tkus respe disrespected and everyone i've let down. i am cooperating fully with the

ethics committee and i am trying to handle this in a way to -- that adds to an important conversation and to be a better public servant and a better man. >> reporter: and there are also problems on the house side. we expect members to come back from recess tomorrow. they are dealing with congressman john connors, 88-year-old from michigan, democrat. he is faced with his own charges of sexual misconduct, sexual abuse. he vehemently denied the allegations over the weekend saying he will vindicate himself. nonetheless, he has stepped down as ranking member of the house jewish is ear committee, a very powerful position. he will be back in session as well. >> thank you very much. things just seem to keep rolling and breaking on the sexual harassment front. we have john avlon and gregory.

good to see both of you. >> good morning. >> cfpb, this consumer watch dog agency, are we going to see a showdown about who the boss is? what is this going to look like? >> people have shown up to work and two separate bosses will show up to work with absolute opposite different ways they lead. the courts are going to resolve who has the authority, whether it's a matter of the statute itself and whether english can take it over or nick mulvaney. and the trump administration, someone who has a deep philosophical belief that the agency they are leading shouldn't exist in the case of nick mulvaney. this is a real showdown in washington and sends a terrible message not only to the folks working there but the consumers who the agency is intended to

protect. >> one, does the president have the ability to appoint this acting head. it seems like he will win the legal argument. 12 usc code 5491. it will be seen is as discretionary language, just defining the person's job as deputy director. there is no intentionally to supersede the authority of the executive. that is one battle. donald trump, when he campaigned, i'm trying to have them pull the sound for us. javi, you tell me when you've got it. his mantra was wall street and dirty and i know their game and i will bust their chops every day in my administration. he has done the opposite which is suspect. now they want to get rid of the one animal that protects people on the lending side. >> but consistent with how he

campaigned was the message that obama got it wrong. all of these regulations were hurting business, hurting consumers. the problem with this agency from the very beginning is how hyperpartisan it was. elizabeth warren who might have been the head of the agency at one point added to that. and this is the cauldron of what captures this huge divide over how far government should reach in and regulate the very complicated world of the financial system when it missed it so badly in the financial collapse in 2008. and now this is just been a response that has not seen as helpful enough. just so partisan that republican presidents will go and unwind what president obama put in place. >> but, again, this comes out of the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. and this is the one entity that came out of it that is designed to support consumers. and it is supporting the little

guy in the face of wall street. the president campaigned against wall street. unusual move for a republican, but he did. the 29 million americans which have been helped by this agency, what recourse will they have if the agency doesn't exist or the person running it doesn't believe it should? >> whatever donald trump said as a candidate, we are well versed in that he will say two things at the same time. he has come out hard against obama era regulations. that is a key part of his support. despite everything he says on twitter and everything else. look at tried and true republicans, they will talk about regulatory overreach on the part of the obama administration. >> i think what the president was talking about, burdens to hiring, burdens to starting

businesses. he said he was going to protect the little guy. now we will see where his true intention is. sexual hasment allegations over the weekend. senator al franken went silent last week when there were more accusations that came forward. he gave an interview to minnesota public radio in which he talked about it.

what al franken is accused of is a world different than harvey weinstein or roy moore.

>> apples to apples. >> there is situational ethics that gets framed on this. >> we were talking about last week. this is the concern. franken has allegations against him. he has to deal with them. but look where you are. talking about franken and how contri contrite. you're not talking about the settlements, the behavior and the endemic problems that need to be addressed. >> is that's what we should be talking about. that's a different level of culpability. what is happening with john conyers is in part what did people know and when did they know it. if millions of dollars were given out since is the mid 1990s, who was aware of that? >> they had to know. >> we keep asking that. >> it is is about intensity. that is the media looking for the next case, the next thing, the next thing. there is no morality to the hunt for moore. that is the problem here. when kathleen rice came on,

former prosecutor, she had her own harassment situation at ada in brooklyn and it was painful. she believed it changed the course of her career. he said conyers has to resign. i said what about due process? she said there is no due process for the victims in these situations. there is no trial. it has to be about political accountability. listen to some of the sound. >> because enough is enough. at this point what i'm voicing is what every private citizen is saying across america. why are the rules for the politicians in washington different than they are for everyone else? >> right. so, look, franken did what he did with his photos. he has to pay a political price. but the bigger issue of what do you do to stop these settlements, rice says she will go after him. she's new to congress. she didn't know about them. but you know they knew. everybody had to know. all they do is gossip about one

another. >> not about the settlements, just who might be on a list of bad guys to avoid. >> no, no. there is an office set up to pay tore these. >> every single lawmaker has said they didn't know. >> find out who drafted that legislation who drafted the fund. go back to them. say did you know what the fund would be used for? >> i don't see how it is tenable not to release all there is to know about this settlement fund, how it came about, who is involved. you have some tension over that. you heard nancy pelosi say over the weekend for the benefit of the victims. they don't want to be public. they don't want their names to be revealed. that would be a reason to hold back on doing that. it seems it is simply not tenable for this to be behind the walls of the bam here and we're not going to learn about all of this.

politicians are being treated one way. the media, hollywood, seemed to have lost their job immediately. politicians are hanging on. we saw it happen with roy moore, with president trump. that is something to understand moving forward. there has been a different reaction, at least up until now. >> gregory, john avlon, thank you. we will cover all of these threads throughout the program. we have happy news to report. prince harry engaged to american actress meghan markle. cnn's max foster is live in london with all the breaking news. so exciting. >> reporter: it is going wild on digital. we know they actually got engaged early this month. but as is prince harry's style, he wanted to keep things under wraps.

we have a series on of statements coming out today. the queen is delighted. prince charles is delighted. prince william as well. this is a time for huge celebration and excitement for people in love. we wish them great happiness for the future. these are images from canada early this year. their first official appearance in front of the royal press pack. today we will have another one as they appear in front of the cameras. may say a few words at kensington palace. an african-american, and this has become a big part of the story today, they say we are incredibly happy for harry. our daughter has always been a kind and loving person. they share the same qualities is a source of joy. there are many things that make her relevant to the modern generation.

she is a divorcee as well. she is going to bring this fresh spark into the royal family. it is seen as good news. >> thank you, max, for all of that background. i don't know why i'm so excited about this. but there is something romantic -- no? >> no, it's great. there is a point of fascination about this. >> i am truly happy when people find each other and love prevails in this moment. >> that's great. i think that is a common sentiment. i don't think it's unique. i don't think it's a penchant of yours. i'm an american. we don't have royalty in this country. we have lots of love. sometimes we have to search to find it. i'm an american. so this fascination with royalty has always boggled my mind a little bit. harry is a good man and he focuses on the aevictus games ad uses his power to do the right thing. any positive news is is good news right now. feel better? >> i do.

>> that's nice. president trump doubling down on his support for roy moore. he is privately questioning the authenticity of the "access hollywood" tape. he's saying it's fake. it's his voice. he apologized! what is going on next?

president trump is still backing republican roy moore, as are others in the gop. the president sees the calls for moore to step aside as a version of the acce"access hollywood" t and saying it is is not authentic. you will remember the president admitted it was him speaking when it came out. >> i never said i'm a perfect person nor pretended to be someone i'm not. i've said and done things i regret. anyone who knows me knows these words don't reflect who i am. i had it, i was wrong, and i apologize. >> let's bring in cnn political analyst and one of the writers behind that piece. alex, good to see you. how is the president backing roy moore related to "access

hollywood". >> whether the president believes women who allege sexual misconduct have a right to be believed. he maintains all the many allegations that came out against him in 2016 is false. >> sure. but the "access hollywood" -- they were his words. everybody heard them. we all heard them. and he just said i said it, i apologize for it. >> making these comments in passing. by the way, we're not even sure that tape is real. these folks have been taken aback. i think the folks who were speaking to the president at the time tried to gratefully move on. you don't want to relitigate that issue. >> when did he start saying we're not sure the tape was authentic. of. >> this is months ago. this is not a direct consequence of the roy moore controversy. it is the same mind-set you see

him applying to the roy moore controversy. men who are used of these things are often unfairly accused of these things. and his impulse to go back, reopen the fight and try to resolve it in a different way to his advantage. >> before we get to the roy moore thing, the idea that it is not authentic, he's saying it out loud and he is telling people the tape might not be authentic, of he admitted to it, after we all hear with our own ears. what do people in the white house think that is? it is a revisionist history or break from reality. what do they think that is? >> people is see it as an extension of the euimpulse we he seen with the president again and again to go back and try to change the facts of the recent observable past in order to persuade people that actually he was right all along. or actually he was more successful is than he was all along. it makes people uncomfortable.

they're uneasy about it. they hope he doesn't say it blacklickly. as far as i'm aware, no one close to him has decided to take him on directly and say, mr. president, you have to stop saying that. >> when ivanka said there is a special place in hell for people on who prey on president, the president was angry with his daughter. >> that's right. the president turned to the people around him, said do you believe there? do you believe she did this? a sense of frustration, that the walls were closing in on roy moore without him having been able to the milwaukee the choice about what ought to happen to this senate candidate. you have seen that frustration extend to his handling of the alabama race in general. just is you have had this exodus of republican support for roy moore in washington. did you have the republican senate committee, the republican national committee terminate their funding for moore's campaign. and the president's reaction is, well, why are we doing this?

>> very quickly, when he is angry with his daughter, and she's one of his advisers, does that blow over or does it somehow affect their relationship now? >> we'll have to wait and see. this all unfolded just in the last week or two. if a democrat does work, you will see recriminations nonstop. >> alex, stick around for one second. we want to bring in david gregr talk about this and more. david, what are your thoughts when you hear the president revising history in this way and being angry with his daughter for what was lauded as her speaking out, you know, quite passionately about protecting children? >> we are getting glimpses into different things. one is typical trump behavior, allowing himself to think out loud and offer sides. it is what it is. it doesn't require much of an autopsy. we know what he said. we know what he apologized for. and if he indulges fantasies of

the tape not being real, we will likely know about it because he doesn't likely keep those things to himself. i'm sure he has been a annoyed by his daughter speaking out the way she did. this roy moore scandal harkens back to the allegations against him, his boasting of sexual assault in his own tape. he has arrived, perhaps with the influence of steve bannon and others saying, look, i got burned once in alabama. i'm not going to side with the establishment again and do the right thing even though that is clearly the thing to do because voters may have a different idea. as unpopular as the president is right now. >> right. >> as perilous as his agenda is, the one thing he wants to protect is the party. >> look, what we are seeing with the president is as obvious as it is shameful. he made a calculation with moore. that's politics. remember, it's easier for him to do it.

he doesn't buy the authenticity of the accusations. he didn't buy them against him. he's a tphal skwraoeuzing them to moore. on the "access hollywood" thing he might believe it's not authentic. i think it is way more troubling than it is getting trouble for. i don't think this is an offhand comment. i think he believes this will work with people. if he doubts its authenticity. he said what he said. even kind of owned it. >> he did own it. >> he kind of owned it. except he said it was locker room talk. it wasn't truthful. it would make him the largest liar of any guy in the locker room i've ever been around. i've never heard that kind of detail of every scenarios, every one of which was b.s. when it proved convenient. i think it is is scary. if he will go to that level of saying, yeah, it's fake, what else will he say that's not as

clear-cut? that's the concern on something like this. >> it goes to the debate about when you're allowed to call something a public favor a lie. >> with intent to deceive. it meets every definition of a lie. >> but 6th believes it. it is the george costanza rule. is it a lie if you believe it? >> he can't unless he thinks there was an evil twin. >> this is something the entire republican party faces with the president and with roy moore. sure, the president has made the calculation that he is going to protect his relationship with his most passionate supporters at the cost of a political judgment, moral judgment. >> he wants the seat. he wants the seat more than he wants to take a moral stand. that's fine. >> but do they want to go along with him on that ride? that's a much tougher question.

>> we have seen the president, whether it's the nfl protests and kneeling, or whether it's this culture conversation about how things have shifted, how women are finally being believed when they are coming forward with their own stories of being victims and sexual misconduct in the workplace, that he wants to be kind of very casually part of that conversation too and say, well, these are old allegations. you have to believe him too. just as he asserted that the women who came against him, those were all lies and he was going to sue them, which he never did. this is a lack of discipline and lack of restraint but also a lack of shame. he doesn't care if he looks at any of these things. he will keep barreling along. there are people who might be not approve, appreciate his resiliency in a perverse way.

>> it's just a lie hoping some people believe to give himself a little bit of cover from something embarrassing and ugly. >> thank you for your reporting on this. join us tomorrow night for a cnn debate on tax reform. bernie sanders, ted cruz, tim scott, very much in the news right now, and maria cantwell many. all of that at 9:00 p.m. eastern here on cnn. for the russia investigation, is michael flynn flipping lawyers? is he cutting off communications with trump's legal team raising questions whether flynn has cut a deal somehow with special counsel. we look into all the facts next. are you done yet?

implications. a source tells cnn fired national security adviser michael flynn, his legal team is no longer sharing information with the president's legal team. this was first reported by the "new york times". it has a lot of people speculating as to why. why would they stop sharing? does this mean that at a minimum there are negotiations going on between flynn and special counsel? let's discuss the legalities with samantha. and cnn chief legal analyst jeffrey toobin. information sharing agreements. not unusual. what are the parameters that people should keep in mind about these headlines? when there is a complicated allegations, lawyers agree formally or informally, let's see what documents are available

and pool our resources. you have to have an agreement to do that. you need to protect the attorney/client privilege so these remain privileged. what happens when one person decides to flip or negotiate about breaking off from the group, that lawyer has to withdraw from the agreement. that apparently is what happened last week regarding michael flynn. and that leads to the speculation which i think is accurate that at least some discussions are going between flynn and mueller or a deal has already been cut. >> so at a minimum there had to be some reason that the lawyers pulled out of the information sharing agreement. what that reason is open to interpretation. >> the only possible reason that i'm aware is that flynn is talking to mueller. it's not like there could be

other explanations. >> the value of flynn to mueller. speculation, sam, that he would somewhat be valuable lending an understanding about the nature of the campaign. but is that necessarily so? because they seem to be chasing him for a lot of things that happened before his trump involvement. >> i think what we probably do know is that the west wing is very uneasy this morning. here's why. the west wing is a really small place. the national security adviser, and this would have been true on the campaign as well; not a one-man show. someone schedules his meetings, staffs his meetings. they provide a readout to. if flynn did something illegal, somebody probably knew. the part of his job is to prepare the president and other senior staff for meetings with foreign officials and probably

to participate. so if there was ongoing contact with russian officials, flynn would have been involved. >> well, remember, a lot of what this investigation is about is about what went on in the campaign before president trump was inaugurated. remember, it was in december 2015 that michael flynn went to russia and sat next to vladimir putin at a dinner where he was paid by russian government affiliated news organizations. so his knowledge of what went on between russia and the trump campaign is at least as important than the 24 days before he was national security adviser. >> people are waking up and a documentary or film that was never finished by flynn's lobbying team about turkey and restoring its image in the wake

of what seemed to be a military coup. why is that relevant? >> this is the latest in a long list of strange engagements and legal engagements flynn has had with the government of turkey. we know he registered as a foreign agent only after he was fired. we know he stopped in operation during the transition that the turks did support in syria. he was alleged offered $15 million to connect this turkish cleric the ironic point is under any other scenario the turkish government would be worried that if flynn talked he would a talk about other illegal overtures. typically this causes issues in bilateral issues. erdogan, who trump spoke to on friday, has no reason to think trump is upset, let alone that he will confront him over this. >> let's not convict michael

flynn yet. >> he did register as a foreign agent after leaving office. >> he hasn't been convicted of anything yet. >> that's true. >> it is worth noting what he is under investigation for in terms of his lobbying is precisely the same thing as paul manafort. >> sam's point is also interesting in terms of the state of play and influencing the investigation. turkey has that no reason to fear president trump right now. if anything, he would be defender of their interests because he wants to help flynn. >> another authoritarian figure like putin, like the head of chi china, erdogan and turkey. these are the people trump likes. >> that's your take. >> that's my take. that's why i'm here. >> thank you very much. alisyn. a bitter nfl rivalry turning ugly. a brawl.

quid pro quo the way he was implying. >> they are saying there is not a speck of truth to it. >> and they don't want to talk about it until december 6th when they announce person of the year. i wonder will trump still be the person of the year or will it go to some other foreign leader or perhaps will there be an acknowledgment of this tipping point, recognition of women who have spoken out against sexual harassment. that's what i would do, but we're not editors. >> as we know, he created fake covers of himself as person of the year before he was ever named. here it is. this was the fake cover that he hangs in his golf clubs. >> it might be real until you
