>> the unfairness is so obvious and so egregious. >> i'm upset. this is a clear abuse. >> we wish him well. he worked very hard. >> the victims here are the women. >> there is no tolerance in this white house. no place in america for domestic abuse. >> we have a second white house official here who has resigned over domestic abuse allegations. david sorenson who is a speech writer for the administration. >> in an unprecedented move, south korean president moon jae in shook hands the kim jong-un's sister. >> this is significant.

>>. goose morning to you. democrats are accusing the president of trying to hide something. >> and a second official is ajaes of abuse. the deputy chief of staff is out, and the chief of staff is now willing to leave, too. abbey phillips is here with us. the president said he will release a statement soon and soon is not really happening. >> it may not be at all. the president is declining to declassify this democratic memo yesterday siting concerns sighisig

sighting he will send it back to congress to work withal intelligence community to talk out the parts that jeopardizes sources and methods, and sensitive information. the president said in a letter explaining this that he intended to release the memo, the democratic memo, but that those concerns outweighed his desire for transparency in this case. this proves the political motivations behind the president. this is the gop version of this memo that republicans say alleged fbi surveillance abuses. the democratic senate leader chuck schumer said the president is using a double standard here. he is claiming transparency, but refusing to release information that could be damaging to him, but the white house counters that the democrats didn't go through the appropriate process before releasing the memo, that

they should have scrubbed it of that kind of sensitive information. that being said, the president did release the memo, the fbi had grave concerns about the accuracy of that memo. >> and we're also aroundilearnit this second white house staffer, give us some of the details. >> ongoing troubling story for this white house. the latest was a speech writer whose ex-wife accused him of being violent in their marriage, he is denying these allegations releasing a statement to keira knightley saying he is intepiding to encounter this legally and that he was the victim of repeated violence during his marriage, not her.

but the white house is not even really wanting to engage with this. after the fallout over rob porter and the fact that they took hours to finally push him out after the gaegss sallegatio surfaced, they immediately addressed the staffer. the white house really wants to get ahead of this because of the problem porter scandal being so damaging to them, but that story was just breaking overnight. >> all right, abby, thank you. >> let's talk to daniel whitman, and national security attorney, thank you all for being here. i want to start with you and get back to this memo and then the other happenings in just a moment. you said the president's decision was a poor political move, but the proper legal

intell decision. are you saying his hands were tied here? >> this whole processes that been politicized by both sized. neither memo should have been released. i can't wait to read both of them. but there is a process that they should under take this process. i think one can make the argument that he was obstructing justice by releasing the gop memo and not releasing both. he is following what his fbi and justice department is saying which is that there is classified information in these memos and marm -- >> they will keep in it in

trump's part. and his pr is hurt more z because it keeps it in the news cycle. and when he released the first memo it backfired on him. they said there was nothing in this that justified this huge to do. it didn't really reveal the wrong doing at the fbi. it made devin new nunes look ba. >> so how probable is it that this memo will be seen by public eyes? >> it is possible, he didn't say it will never be released, he just said not in the under form. and i think that is the proper

thing to do from a security standpoint, and let's not lose sight of the fact that there s a possibility that they put information in there they knew was classified and that would need to be redacted and it would give the appearance that they were trying to hide something or stand in the way of transparency. that is a factor as well. i think they want full transparency. and they want the american people to know that. if we come back in a week or so, the democratic report is fully redacted, we'll have another conversation. >> we should also remember that the house intelligence committee voted unanimously to release the

democratic memo. they are aware of what is in it, they still voted to tell him to release it. >> i want to move on to this development overnight with david sorenson denying that he abused his ex-wife, as she is alleging. he said he was a repeated victim of violence, not her. according to the white house, he immediately resigned. what are you hearing about where this came from? it seemed to come out of nowhere and the very swift reaction from the white house as opposed to what we saw with rob portman. >> he was so closely tied to trump, he worked with them on a daily basis and he was a close ally of general kelly. he is someone that most people in washington don't even know

about. he was a lower level speech writer, and it came after the washington post was snuffing -- sniffing around. he burned her with a cigarette, and i think they're looking around to see who has ex-wives they abused. 30 to 40 people. >> and the accusations you were talking about, they are alleged, this is not a man who has been convicted, but i want to listen here because this took a lot of people by surprise. what the president said yesterday about rob porter. >> he says he is innocent, and i think you have to remember that. he said very strongly yesterday

that he is innocent. you will have to talk to him about that, but we absolutely wish him well, he did a very good job while he was at the white house. >> so, the allegations from two exwives are hard to fathom. a lot of people say yes, he is innocent because there is no proof, but proof has come out because of the picture of the black eye. but the second ex-wife filed a criminal complaint. why is it, do you think, that the white house held on to rob porter as long as they did. >> isn't that one of the questions to look at and one of the things we really need to find out about is when is the white house, and the senior staff knows, not only in the %-p.

and there is nothing wrong with that. that routinely happens, they have full access when they have an interim clearance. there has not been an au adjudication of a secret or top secret or sci. and the question is when the information is obtained, what does the white house do about it? these are allegations even though we have physical proof by the photographs, but when you're looking at the white house and senior level positions, you will hope that the president said to have the best and brightest and one has to question if that is the case no matter how valuable these individuals may be. >> if someone is not formally convicted, they're seeing it as fair game to work at the white house? >> that can be at any place, and

with respect to security kpae s clearances, you can mitigate that. i would just caution, i'm not defending anyone here, but clearances are about mitigation. and we have not heard both sides, but that said there is a high standard to work in the white house and you have to question when you have known about it from what we have known publicly for months at a time, and you see those photographs, why is someone like that still working in the white house. >> real quickly, alison, give me your take. >> i think what is notable is not what he said, but what he didn't say. he didn't say one word about the fact that domestic violence should not be tolerated in any form. he didn't say i hope these women

have a great career, and he didn't say a word about being sad for the women. he had an opportunity to make a real statement that domestic violence should not be stoleratd anywhere, and certainly not in the white house. this is a time more than any time that we need to make sure that women can have their voices heard, and actions have consequences. and we cannot have people with personal lives like this have public servant positions that are compromising to our country. >> sometimes what you don't say speaks the loudest. we appreciate you all so much, thank you. >> kim jong un sent his sister to the olympics, and now she has invited the south korean president for talks.

>> will ripley is lye in south korea with more. you broke the story about this, and help us understand the significance of this year. >> the sister of kim jong un was sent on a deliberate mission here. it was an effort to warm relations in the south. and it appears to be working because she delivered that letter in a blue envelope, a leather case, to south korea's president inviting him to travel to pyongyang has soon as possible to talk about interkorean negotiations. he wants to engage with them saying that he thinks talking is the way to go. but it seems unlikely given the tone from vice president pence who was on the ground here blasting the north korean regime

in a number of public appearances. and all of these leaders were sitting together in the v.i.p. box in the opening ceremony. it was tense and awkward looking. president pence said he was hoping they would stop talking and start putting on the pressure to denuclearize. but clearly president moon not taking that advice, saying he is willing to travel and meet with kim jong un. so a success sending his sister here to get that offer made and accepted. >> also this unified hockey team, we're seeing them, we saw them last night in the parade of nations, what can you tell us about this team? >> well the team was certainly a controversial decision here in

south korea. by incorporating the teams, others have to sit on the bench, but this is another pr win for kim jong un. so you have all of them that just arrived in the last few minutes. a public show of legitimate i did for the north korean regime. so sports while they have an opportunity to bring countries together, it seems like that is what the north is trying to do and they want to drive a wedge between south korea and south. >> will, thank you so much. >> this whole dynamic is

all right, rise and shine. it is saturday morning and we have been waiting for you. donald trump has denied the release of a democratic memo. now the third person in line after the justice department, she is leaving her position. reporting is that she will be heading to become a corporate attorney for walmart. also the second white house official in two days accused of domestic abuse. he says he was a victim of abuse during the marriage.

the deputy chief of staff is out of that position, and the chief of staff, john kelly, who has not been on the job for very long, says he would be willing to follow them if that is what the president wants from him. >> so the memo was not a great end, and one that put the trump administration squarely in another crisis. it started monday when trump insisted that democrats were un-american and treasonous. that afternoon while president trump was touting the economic benefits of a tax plan, the dow took the first tumble of the week. on tuesday the president asked for a large scale military take

down. >> i do think of fleet week that goes on in the new york city area, and how great of an event that is for all of the sailors and whoever participates in that event. i don't think we should have tanks and nuclear weapons going down pennsylvania avenue. >> allegations of domestic abuse surfaced on wednesday when it was claimed that rob porter verbally and physically harmed his exwives. and they essentially doubled down on their defense of porter. on thursday it was revealed that top officials including don mcgann knew about the allegations against porter for at least a year.

also, this was the worst week for the stock market in two years. and the government shut down but by friday morning they passed the spending deal. and political company day tor and republican strategist, welcome back to both of you. this reporting that general kelly has spoken with other white house officials, that he be willing to leave the white house. no offer of resignation yet. would that behove the president to show up for this entire rob

porter mess and try to turn the page back to the mess and doing the work of the american people? >> it is clearly the president's call and it remains to be seen what happens. no matter where you go, there you are. we're still going to have the same people at the top. and i think that is something that we need to consider. and look, talking with folks at the white house yesterday. they say it is business as usual. chief of staff kelly was overseeing a meeting as chief of staff, and they don't see things changing any time soon. i think we have to keep in mind that he was brought to the white house to restore some discipline and order and stream lining the information that gets to the president and some that leaves the oval office. he has done a good job with that, and certainly what we're finding out this week in my view, we're finding out that general kelly is more like

donald trump on the issues than we first thought, but regard to his fiduciary there and what he will be doing in the near term, that is completely up to the president to decide. after this week with regard to what happened with rob porter, i think that the best statement out of the white house was saying that they could have done things better the president was unhappy with that. go ahead, daniel. >> i think the -- it is very rare to see a person admitting they did something wrong. that is something you used to see in previous white houses. i know in the politico news room, our jaws dropped. and then help said oh, rob porter was fired and the official line up until then was that he stepped down and

resigned. i think he has not been taught to be the best spinner in terms of what is best for the white house. >> a two-plus hour delay, what he should say there, and he should bring up an interesting point here. yours in the news room there, they talked about rob porter, but this is in defending him. this is part of a pattern here. we put this together on the screen, this is a list of alleged assaulters and abusers, rob porter, steve bannon, steven lewndowski.

and there is someone missing, the president of the united states himself, more than a dodsen women have accused him of sexual assault. there is a pattern here. >> and no doubt and whether we're talking about domestic abuse or sexual assault. they will defend the man accused of this activity, and they will try to denounce the woman, and that is very problematic. i think in this day and age, more than any, we need to give these women a voice, believe the women, let them have the opportunity to tell their stories, and also, we need to let the american people know there are consequences and that character counts. and things that happen in your private life that are question

ab questionable or abhorrent, it should keep you from serving in public office. this is a important time if them to make a amendment on that. be regard to this kind of view and response to these kind of activities. >> i want to turn to another revelation. cnn is reporting knew now that 40 white house officials in the trump administration are working without security clearances. we know that rob porter had this interim security clearance. we know that jared kushner after a year in the white house does not have full security clearance. remind me of just how troublesome this is for the dangers and problems this could

cause. >> i'm sure both of us wish we had the full list of those 30 to 40 people just to see, you know, exactly who has not passed the fbi background check. i think it is troubling because when you have the fbi and other people doing those investigations, finding things that are problematic, leaving people open to blackmail if that information came out, that hurts our national security potentially. with jared kushner, he worked on issues related to china when his sister was in china last year trying to drum up support for the family company. >> and he has been given this nick anymore name of being the of everything. his hands are in a lot of pots in the administration. >> we're running out of time, thank you. >> the u.s. has not won gold in
