>> does paul manafort have something to offer robert mueller that will allow him to not spend rest of his days behind bars? this is "new day weekend" with victor blackwell and christi paul. >> good morning. another senior trump campaign official flips in the russia investigation making him the third known trump associate to cooperate with special counsel robert mueller. rick gates took a plea deal yesterday possibly in exchange for testifying against trump's former campaign chairman, paul manafort. >> in the meantime, what were they waiting for? cnn learns a total of four broward county sheriff's deputies waited outside that florida high school as students inside were being shot. law enforcement facing some tough questions this morning now about what more could have been to stop the massacre. first, in the russia

investigation, abby phillip at the white house now. the spotlight firmly on the trump campaign this morning. how are the white house and lawmakers responding? >> reporter: good morning. this case is continuing to expand this week as yet another trump campaign associate is charged by the special counsel, robert mueller, for a slew of charges. and these charges and the plea deal associated with it suggests that the special counsel is zeroing in on paul manafort, the former trump campaign chairman, who has also been charged with a number of -- of allegations from the mueller team. and the special counsel seems to be wanting to push his to cooperate with them. rick gates, a longtime associate of paul manafort, a business sort, has agreed -- business associate, has agreed to cooperate with the investigation, crucially providing documentation and responsibly testimony that could help them in their case. clearly the mueller team wants paul manafort to see that the pressure is on him, encouraging

him to cooperate more fully with the investigators. paul manafort could provide crucial hints here as to what went on during the trump campaign as it relates to this mueller investigation. now why this is significant -- rick gates is the third trump associate to plead guilty in this mueller investigation. he joins george papadopoulos and michael flynn, trump aide, who pled guilty over last year. this case continues to march on. and in a statement, paul manafort made it clear that he is maintaining his innocence despite the -- innocence despite these developments, and that he hoped his sesassociate, rick ga, would continue to fight. but the jail time hee allegedly faces would be too significant. the white house is not saying

anything at all. they ton maintain that the -- they continue to maintain that the charges and guilty pleas have information to do with them as they relate to the charges that went on long before the trump campaign began. >> no doubt about it. remindering viewers, too, that manafort released a statement saying that he continues to maintain his innocence despite rick gates' guilty plea. thank you very much. joining me, lauren fox, cnn congressional reporter, and era lewis, political commentator and anchor for spectrum news. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> good to have you. lauren, let's start with you. what does this mean if anything for the central question here about a potential collusion between the trump campaign and russia? >> what this tells us is there is pressure mounting on allies of president trump from the campaign. now as abby said in her report, these allegations are not related to the trump campaign. what they are related to is

financial issues that happened before they were part of the trump campaign. clearly rick gates knows a lot about his former associate. and that's potentially problematic for manafort as this marches forward. i think there are a lot of questions still about what rick gates can tell fbi investigators, and that is the remaining question here is what exactly he knows, how much he's willing to share, and whether or not this ultimately results in manafort pleading guilty, as well, as pressure mounts. >> errol, as lauren said there that the expectation is at least on the part of prosecutors is that rick gates will help to flip paul manafort. as "the new york times" points out, even after manafort left the campaign in 2016, gates stayed on, traveled on the trump plane through election day. he could offer a lot of insight about the campaign itself independent of what he knows about paul manafort. >> that's right. the thing to keep in mind in

this kind of a complex investigation is that people are connecting dots on the mueller team that we don't necessarily know exist. that rick gates might not know really exist. in other words, timelines, dates, who was in the room, who spoke to whom, who had the e-mail correspondence on what topics and so forth. all of that is stuff to figure out what went on here you'd have to know. you have to ask everybody. you have to ask everybody from the security guards and the secretaries to the assistants like rick gates or the seemingly low-level so-called coffee boys like george papadopoulos. that's really what this investigation i think is most interestingly compiling is a lot of people who were in a position to know a lot more than their title or rank might suggest. >> lauren, what's remarkable about this is gates pled guilty here to lying to prosecutors about a meeting with a member of congress in 2013.

i mean, obviously now 2018. it speaks to the breadth and depth of mueller's investigation. >> certainly, and that's what we saw with the indictment of the russian officials is the fact that this began long before the presidential campaign, some of these issues that mueller is looking at. this is a broad and complex investigation. that is part of why the president has been so frustrated as this has continued on and on. a lot of his allies were telling him this would be over by thanksgiving, christmas, the new year. clearly this is an expansive investigation that is not going away any time soon and likely will play the -- will plague the republicans as they go forward. >> let me read this from a few minutes ago, paul manafort's statement released by his team. this was after the guilty plea from gates but before the charges, "i continue to maintain my innocence. i'd hoped and expected my business colleague would have had the strength to continue the

battle to prove or innocence. for reasons yet to surface, he chose to do otherwise. this is to guessed e defend myself against the piled up charges in the case against me." everyone is innocent until proven guilty, but take this into context -- the detail in the indictments against paul manafort and conviction rate from federal prosecutors. what do you make of the statement? >> the conviction rate is something like 93%. one of the reasons the rate is high is alluded to in what you read which is that when somebody like paul manafort says the "piled up charges," there's something the most liberal democrat, the biggest trump hater should be concerned about which is that prosecutors have the ability to sit you down, have a conversation with you and say, hey, you know what, you lied about an event that happened five years ago, that's a felony.

we're going to send you to prison. under that kind of pressure, a lot of people end up pleading guilty to something just to get out from under the threat of a ruinous trial that could bankrupt you if you tried to pay the lawyers' fees involved. clearly rick gates more or less said that because he's got four kids, because he's got a life ahead of him, and he wants to spare his family the crushing financial burden of defending himself against the federal government, he's going to plead guilty. paul manafort's statement suggests the same thing, that the two of them are under a lot of pressure. that, in fact, is true. >> dozens of charges now against paul manafort, and pressure is increasing. errol lewis, lauren foxx, thank you both. >> thank you. missed tips by the fbi and sheriff's deputies failing to get into the school as students were being shot. we're talking next to a former secret service agent about what happens here and how we got here. plus, using the power of social media to take on the

another misstep as we learn more about the response to the shooting in parkland, florida. >> sheriff's deputies stayed outside the school rather than moving into it. a woman called the fbi last month to warn them about in shooter. that case was close wednesday -- closed within an hour with new followthrough. >> reporter: we're learning more details about the shooting here

in parkland, florida. we've learned that at least one broward county sheriff's deputy remained outside, an armed sheriff's deputy, remained outside even though he knew there was an active shooter inside the school. that deputy, scot peterson, has resigned. the sheriff said peterson stayed outside for more than four minutes while the shooting was underway. the shooting massacre lasted about six minutes. we are also learning that three other broward county sheriff's deputies were outside armed with handguns drawn hiding behind their cars. it's unclear if the shooter was still in the school, but the three deputies also never entered the high school. that information coming to us from coral springs' police department. the coral springs deputies the first to enter the school. another major tip was ignored by the fbi. this came in weeks before the shooting. cnn has reviewed a transcript

from this tip call. the tipster was close to the parkland shooter, warning the fbi that this teen was "going to explode." the female tipster spoke of his social media posts about guns and violence, saying she feared him getting into a school and shooting the place up. that's an exact quote. as you know, the fbi has admitted proper protocols were not followed. they're investigating why the tip was dropped so close to the attack. finally, the security cameras. that was an issue, as well. when police arrived and did get inside, they were reviewing the surveillance cameras trying to find out where this suspect was in the school. we've learned that the cameras were on a delay. they had been rewound. what the police were watching was 20 minutes behind. when they thought he was on the second floor and trying to locate him, they'd go to the second floor, and he was no longer there. he was long gone at the time they were reviewing the

surveillance tapes. cnn, part, florida. joining us, law enforcement analyst jonathan wakro. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> former secret service agent under president obama. i want to mention something we read from a writer, ari shulman, with an idea about how to combat the shootings. instead of trying to blame it on something that cannot easily be fixed, that we could take a cue from 9/11 and try forming a single agency dedicated to following through on tips and training. local officials from mass shooting scenarios. what do you think about that? >> listen, that's -- i'm open to any idea right now. what we've seen in this incident in florida is the perfect storm of failure of people, process, and technology. we need to dissect this incident from every angle. from the law enforcement angle, the health providers' angle, educators in the community. there were multiple failures

across the entire speck strum. it wasn't just one failure, there were multiple that caused this incident to occur. we have to dissect this. we have to get better from this. we have to take this tragedy and move forward to ensure that this does not happen again. >> there have been a lot of discussions about arming teachers. some teachers say, listen, that is not what i got into this business to do. i'm here to teach our kids. but others, schools in texas, where teachers want to be armed because of a situation like this. your immediate thoughts on that scenari scenario? >> bringing up arming teachers is a kneejerk reaction to an incident. alist a-- listen, after 9/11, people were saying it's crazy to arm pilots in airplanes. they did it. they didn't do it just by giving pilots guns and throwing -- and putting them on airplanes. if you're going to do that, that's a -- that's a major

policy decision that's going to affect municipalities. it comes down to training. i don't think it's a good idea. i do think that having individuals, law enforcement individuals at schools who are armed to protect children who that's their sole responsibility, i am for that. teachers, their core competency is children, not tactics. building defense and going after hostile intruders is a tough tactic. it's tough to train on that. law enforcement does it every single day. i don't think that teachers have the ability to bifurcate their teaching responsibilities with tactical responsibilities. so again, i understand that it's a kneejerk reaction. i think we we need to be pragmatic in the way that we approach the situation and look at every alternative that's out

there. >> all right. and quickly, jonathan, your reaction to the latest reporting that the officers from the sheriff's department, these deputies, did not enter that school for four minutes? >> it's gut-wrenching. as a law enforcement advocate, as a former u.s. secret service agent, a member of the law enforcement community, to hear that a member of my community sat back while innocent children were being slaughtered in a school, it's unacceptable, period. listen, data has proven that solo entry by a police officer almost 75% of the time stops these hostile intruder situations. we know from a law enforcement training tactics and policy standpoint that entry, immediate entry is the solution to stopping and mitigating the violent acts of a hostile intruder. for somebody to not enter, it's absolutely unacceptable and -- i'm almost without words.

>> yeah, it's really perplexing. we appreciate your insight and perspective. thanks for sharing with us this morning. >> thank you very much. have a great day. >> you, too. a growing number of big-name corporations have now cut ties with the nation's largest gun lobby. it comes as the hash tag #boyco #boycottnra is gaining traction on twitter. the first national bank of omaha said it would stop issuing an nra branded credit card. alamo and enterprise, are ending discount deals for nra members. and former miami dolphins player jonathan martin being questioned in relation to a disturbing post on social media. he was detained over a picture on his instagram which showed a rifle and a message that said "bullying victims had only two choices -- suicide or revenge." it also named harvard westlake, the private high school that he attended in l.a.

officials closed the school over security concerns. you might remember an independent report found martin was bullied by dolphins' teammates in 2013. he has retired. coming up, we're talking with a student who survived the shooting in florida. her reaction to the news that now four armed deputies did not rush in to her school when the shooting was happening.

the time to be with us. how are you feeling today? >> i'm feeling a little bit better than when this all first took place. it's still very hard to admit to the realities of the situation. i'm still a little bit in denial of everything, but i'm doing what i can. >> i know that it's hard to process. i'm wondering, you've heard the news i'm sure about the sheriff's deputies that stayed outside the school, they did not enter the building even though shots were being fired inside. >> yes. >> what is your initial reaction when you hear that? >> well, at first i heard that it was just one officer, the campus officer, who did not go in. and although he was at fault for obviously not doing his job -- i know that officers take vows to protect other people before themselves and to jump into action. although he was at fault in that sense, i did have a little bit

of sympathy for him being that it's a huge school and a pretty large hurricane exper-- large c know he's not usually toward that area of campus. he does patrol and walk around. you can imagine it's going to take at least 15 seconds to run across campus. so also i do think that he was probably nervous being that it was kind of all in his hands. and then after hearing that there were three other officers, i'm not pleased with. at that point they have a team. at that point they can go in. >> if you could sit down with those deputies, is there anything you would want to say or want to ask today? >> i would maybe not have something to say. i would maybe ask them what type of situations they've been in before. this was a mass school shooting. maybe they haven't experienced something this dramatic. maybe they did freeze.

i would like to know their reason for not going in, what was going through their mind. i'm not pleased at this point because i don't know that anyone, even someone who works to protect people, would do that. you know, unless they have direct ties to the kids inside. unless it's hitting them emotionally hard. i'm sure it was scary for everyone. >> for everyone. no doubt. what conversations are you having with your family, with your friends, your fellow students as you try to process all of this? >> i mean, all my friends and i, we're still on the phone and researching all these different things that are in the media now. we're still trying to keep things together and figure things out. and that's just for our own comfort. you know, we would like to really understand the entire situation. it's so crazy, and there are so many different aspects to it. but i would say in the emotional

sense, we are just trying to really remember the people that we lost while still keeping the douglas spirit alive and going out and being proactive as we've always been. trying to get past it with reasonable answers. >> and i know you've got a lot of support with your family, and i'm sure there's camaraderie amongst all of you because of the collective experience you've had. what do you need most do you feel right now? >> i would say my friends, i'm dependent on my friendships although i'm a dependent person. the people i become close with, i take seriously. to know that my closest friends are okay is comforting. also, i would love to just be together with the rest of the student body and just be under the name of douglas. whether going out to the beach or the panthers game which a lot

of us are doing tonight, it's nice to feel that sort of unity. >> with that said, i know the high school reopens wednesday. do you feel ready to go back? >> i do. many kids will be traumatized, those in the freshman building who lost people, it's going to be tough. i feel the student body is very strong. we don't want to let this damage everything we've worked so hard for. the image we've created for douglas and all of the things we have going for us, we want to keep douglas alive. and i think we're going to be back pretty strongly. >> you have all shown bravery, courage, strength, examples to this nation. and i want to wish you good luck today. i understand that you're on your way to an equestrian competition. you qualified for the regionals. you have a lot on your plate. and i know that your head's been in a lot of different places this week.

we're wishing you the best. i hope it goes well today. we're here for you. we're always here for you. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. take care. still to come, the president touts the strongest sanctions yet on north korea while his daughter, ivanka trump, is in south korea for the closing ceremony of the winter olympics. a live update from pyeongchang next. n! new aveeno® positively radiant body lotion... with the moisture-rich power of soy. it transforms dull, dry skin to leave you glowing. new positively radiant® body collection from aveeno®. pepsoriasis does that. it was tough getting out there on stage. i wanted to be clear. i wanted it to last. so i kept on fighting. i found something that worked. and keeps on working. now? they see me. see me. see if cosentyx could make a difference for you- cosentyx is proven to help people with moderate

makes it easier for the mentally disabled to get guns. from cnn, "trump signs bill nixing guns bill." nbc, "trump signs bill revoking background checks for people with mental illnesses." after the sandy hook shooting in which 20 first graders were murdered at school, the obama administration tried to strengthen gun purchase background checks. one way was through a new rule, through the social security administration. the rule would have added people who receive disability benefits for any one of a long list of mental impairments but three a representative payee, meaning someone else receives the money. they would have been added to the background check system, nics. that means they would have failed the background check to buy a gun. the rule was issued before president obama left office in december of 2016. there was plenty of support but also opposition. 11 groups spoke out against the

rule. in a letter they wrote, "the belief that people who have psychiatric or neurological disabilities are prone to violence only perpetuates the stigma that's associated with these disabilities and hinders people from getting proper mental health services. both the aclu and the nra oppose the rule." republican congressman of texas, sam johnson, authored a bill to overturn the rule, january, 2017. the following month it overwhelmingly passed in both the republican house, senate -- and the senate, rather. listen to this -- >> on his way out the door, permanenter president obama finalize -- former president obama finalized a rule that discriminates against individuals with disabilities and deprives law-abiding americans of their second amendment rights. >> now there were democrats on board, too. almost all from states that trump won in the election. look at this map. the bill first passed in the house with help from six

democrats. then in the senate, four democrats and independent senator angus king who caucuses with democrats. they crossed party lines to get the bill to the president's desk. in other news, ivanka trump is in south korea, of course, ahead of the closing ceremony for the winter olympics. she attended the men's curlinging final between the u.s. and sweden. there are still a lot of questions, though, swirling around her purpose for this trip. cnn international correspondent will ripley in pyeongchang, south korea, with us now. what have you learned about the intentions for this trip, and how is she being received there? >> reporter: well, ivanka trump really has two missions on the ground here. one are the photo ops that we saw today. the bright red snow suit, cheering on athletes.

there are also back-channel discussions including a briefing with south korea's president that happened at the blue house in seoul after she arrived. ivanka trump briefed the president of south korea about new sanctions, the largest sanctions imposed against north korea. there's no u.s. ambassador here in south korea. more than a year into the trump presidency. you have the first daughter having sensitive discussions about what the united states' strategy is going to be, the maximum pressure campaign that sanderah huckabee sanders spoke about a short time ago. listen. >> the president's been very clear, he's not going to broadcast exactly what his plans are. we're going to continue a campaign of maximum pressure. the latest sanctions are the strongest that we have had on north korea. we're going to continue in that form. hopefully we'll see a change on behalf of the north koreans to start to denuclearize the peninsula. that's what our focus is.

>> reporter: sarah sanders, white house press secretary, laying out a very aggressive strategy on the part of the united states. almost declaring an economic war on north korea. what they're doing is they're targeting basically all of the ships that they know of that north korea is using to conduct these elicit transfers of coal and fuel and other items that are banned under international sanctions. what north korea's been doing to get around the sanctions is they sail their ships to parts of the ocean where they think no one's watching, they meet up with other ships, maybe from china or russia. they transfer raw materials and do the payments under the table. then these ships that iran sanctioned go and sell -- this are not sanctioned go and sell them and say they're not from north korea. what the treasury's doing, they have eyes on all of these ships. they'll have planes in the sky, satellites tracking the ships. they're warning companies from any country around the world if they do business with north korea and they're caught on camera, they will be sanctioned, as well. they'll even go after the banks and financial institutions that deal with these companies. all of the economic firepower of the united states being aimed

now at north korean leader kim jong-un's regime to try to stop him from developing his nuclear weapons. the treasury saying that they do believe that the sanctions in effect are beginning to work or beginning to bite, if you will. the north koreans remaining defiant. they put out an article yesterday saying that no sanctions will stop them from giving up their nuclear weapons. >> all right. will ripley, thank you very much for all the information. so the miracle on ice, the underdog 1980 u.s. men's hockey team, this year there is a new miracle on ice, the curling team. >> we love to watch curling. coy wire has more on one incredible upset. >> reporter: good morning to you. absolutely. some people calling this a miracurl on ice. what do you get when you combine a manager of dick's spoerding goods, engineer, and owner of a liquor store? olympic champs. look at the scene near their

hundreds of black women are meeting here in atlanta this weekend to discuss the best way to leverage their political and economic power. the idea for the power rising summit came out of a retreat held by women in the congressional black caucus. this was after the 2016 election in which 94% of women voted for hillary clinton. planning started before the special election for the alabama senate seat where black women voters led democrats to an upset victory. my guest is a panelist at the summit, erika alexander, appearing in "queen sugar" and "get out," and is involved with vote, run, lead, an organization that trains women to run for office. thank you for coming in. >> thank you. >> we were talking at the break about how early it is for -- >> early, early, hello.

i don't know if i'm alive. >> okay, let's see. i had a conversation with a group of black women voters a couple of weeks ago in which they said essentially that one party takes their votes for granted, and essentially the other one ignores them. what's your take? >> you know, i think that it's -- i like to push back on taking them for granted. i think that it's sort of hard to feel like you're making a difference and that the policy is speaking directly to you. i think for the democratic agenda and what people are trying to build, black women are definitely in there, they're definitely -- they definitely have -- they have policymakers, maxine waters, sheila jackson lee. i think they need to speak more directly to black women so black women know they're at the table, and that they're -- they're truly grateful to be there, they belong there. >> their voices are validated. >> yes. >> that's one of the keys to vote, run, lead. it says, "regardless of

political experience or permission to do so, it encourages women to run as you are." expound on that, run as you are. >> a lot of women don't feel ready. that's because they're not supported. they never felt encouraged to do something like that. it feels like too big of a bite. they have children, their educational goals. they have a lot of things on their plates. sometimes they're robbing peter to pay paul, not just with money but emotionally. but i think they're there to show that there's a community of mentors, people who will help them. and that they know more than they think, and that they're more ready than they know. they encourage them to run as -- right now. get ready because you could be there, and they trained 10,000 women last year. they're going for 20,000 women this year. and over 70% of the people who were first timers won. usually only 10% win a first run. that's how much this training matters. >> so let's talk about black women running for statewide office. >> yes. >> we have seen, as you

mentioned, congressional candidates and actually not just candidates but longtime members of congress and mayors, but we have never had in this country a black female governor. only two black female senators. there is one woman, stacy abrams, running this year here in georgia -- >> yes, go, stacy, go. >> why do you think aside from the historical context of black women not being able to vote for most of the country's history but the recent history, why we haven't seen them? >> moolah, money. sometimes you don't have the money to read. you need money to run. you need people to endorse you, who you are. it's hard to get your name out there. certainly hard for people to have viability without that. but also again if you're doing a lot already, it's hard to see yourself doing your job and running for office. you don't just quit your job normally. >> yeah. >> and you have to have people who can support and also get out the word and work for you. so it's hard to build -- like an

entrepreneur thing, getting on board with something you may not be familiar with. >> your conversation at the power rising summit was about imagery and pop culture and the movies. talk about the importance of what is now going to surpass a half billion dollars globally -- >> wakanda. >> black panther. >> yes, you have to love that, yes. you know, we're in a great time right now. ryan kugler and chadwick bozeman are doing a wonderful job showing a traditional black version of ideal africa. but most people don't know anything about africa. you know -- >> they just say africa, they never divide it into different countries or different regions. >> not at all. we're in this wak wakandan mome where black people need to be celebrated. >> i didn't mention, but many

people know you as maxine shaw from "living single." is this reboot for real? >> i don't think so. you know, there's "cagney and lacey," "magnum p.i.," and people getting rebooted. for me, i'd like to move forward. i love the people and enjoy the show. people every day air is they're lawyers now because -- every day who say they're lawyers because of her. black representation matters. thank you. glad to be here. nstead of being there for my son's winning shot. that was it for me. that's why i'm quitting with nicorette. only nicorette mini has a patented fast dissolving formula. it starts to relieve sudden cravings fast. every great why needs a great how.
