3:00 am
i'd of said you're dreaming. dreaming! definitely dreaming. then again, dreaming is how i got this far. now more businesses in more places can afford to dream gig. comcast, building america's largest gig-speed network. attorney general jeff sessions firing andrew mccabe. >> the president has made this political. >> the attorney general being pressured by the president of the united states to get rid of this person. >> donald trump for a guy who made his career on the phrase, you're fired, doesn't like to be that person who says, you're fired. stormy daniels is really outmaneuvering them. >> they want to hide the facts from the american people. >> cohn thinks he'll get a friendlier hearing in the courts. >> if you have nothing to hide,
3:01 am
why are your lawyers fighting so hard. fiu pedestrian bridge and some cracking that has been engineered. >> the company that designed the pedestrian bridge that collapsed at florida international university were aware two days before of cracks. >> our primary focus is to remove all the cars and all the victims in a dignified manner. good morning, thank you so much for being with us. i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. to you're fired to you're firing back. we are hearing from former fbi director andrew mccabe who was fired late last night before he could retire with full benefits. >> mccabe who worked at the agency for more than two decades calls it an attack on the fbi and his credibility. plus, it is the president
3:02 am
versus the porn star in court. stormy daniels the adult film actress who said she had an affair with the president violated her nondisclosure agreement and could now owe $20 million. president trump starts assembling his team for a 2020 run, the data firm used by his campaign has been kicked off facebook for, they say, misusing data. we're following all the details this morning. i know it is a lot to take in first thing. but we want to start with cnn abbey philip live in washington. let's talk about andrew mccabe being fired less than 48 hours before he would receive a portion of his pension. walk us through what happened here. >> well, good morning, christi and victor. in the truest sense this was an 11th hour decision on the part of attorney general to fire mccabe after 20 years at the agency. this 10:00 p.m. at night decision was somewhat expected considering the pressure that had been placed on sessions to
3:03 am
act to fire mccabe. what this all comes down to was that mccabe was the subject of an ongoing investigation over his handling of the clinton e-mail probe and a clinton foundation investigation. now, mccabe had been referred to an office of personal responsibility within the justice department. that's supposed to be looking at these things and adjudicating whether rules were broken. now, that body had reportedly said that they believe mccabe should have been fired because he was not fully truthful with investigators about his role in ordering fbi officials to talk to "wall street journal" reporters about that ongoing investigation. now, the problem here is that, first of all, that report hasn't come out yet. secondly, mccabe was the subject of a lot of criticism from president trump who made it clear that he wanted mccabe fired. mccabe's attorney is saying that this is retribution.
3:04 am
this was accelerated because president trump wanted him fired and made that publicly clear. as we all know attorney jeff jeff sessions is not a person who is in the president's good graces. sessions himself has been criticized strongly by president trump and what this looks like is an attempt by sessions to please president trump by doing exactly as he wants. trump last night seemed to reinforce this perception with a tweet celebrating mccabe's firing. the president wrote, andrew mccabe fired a great day for the hard-working men and women of the fbi. a great day for democracy. former fbi director james comey was his boss and made mccabe look like choir boy. he anyhow all about the lies and corruption going on at the highest levels of the fbi. this story is one that will come down to whether mccabe is going to pursue some legal recourse over the loss of his pension using some of the president's own statements and tweets as
3:05 am
evidence that there was a vendetta against him. >> we appreciate it. thank you. we need to point out that moments after being fired andrew mccabe released an emotional statement blessing the trump administration. i want to read you part of that. he says for the last year and a half my family and i have been the targets of unrelenting assault on our reputation and my service to this country. articles too numerous to count have leveled every sort of false, defamatory and degrading allegation against us. the president's tweets have simplified the exacerbated it all. this attack is one part of a larger effort not just to slander me personally but to taint the fbi, law enforcement and law enforcement and
3:06 am
intelligence professions more generally. their persistence in this campaign only highlights the importance of the special kou counsel's work. >> former assistant director of the fbi. tom, let me start with you. the president tweeted out this was a great day for the men and women of the fbi. what is the message to the rank and file of the agency? >> i think, victor, the rank and file already know the consequences of, you know, the allegation of lack of candor during an internal investigation. i think there's a lot of confusion on how hethese investigations go. if there's an allegation of wrong doing against the senior executive of the fbi it is investigated by the office of, it's not under the fbi or part of the fbi and they work the investigation. but when they conclude an issue
3:07 am
in their report, they are not in the position to be able to take disciplinary action. they refer it to the fbi's internal, investigative service, which is the office of professional responsibility. which is within the inspection division. so, you have in this case where the investigation is completed the results are given then to the fbi and then opr does the review and makes the recommendation that mccabe should be fired. so, i think that, you know, all the discussion about politics. i just don't believe that president trump, no matter what he says, i know it's going to be hard for people to believe. but no matter what he says is going to affect the way the investigation was conducted by the inspector general's office or what happened with the results when it was turned over to opr within the fbi. they are not going to be able to manufacturer this out of thin air if they determine there was evidence that mccabe wasn't truthful during all of the internal inquiry. >> we have not yet seen the report from the office of the
3:08 am
inspector general or the other office that is investing this professional responsibility. let me come to you, erryl, the context of the james comey firing in which the entire up to the vice president said this firing was based on the recommendation from rod rosenstein and the president said when he fired him he was thinking about russia. to the degree that politics could play a role in this. explain the context here and how the president potentially has muddied this. >> sure. in many respects, victor, this looked like a pretextural firing. meaning it is entirely possible just as tom suggests that mr. mccabe did all the things that are in this forthcoming report. a lot of different eyes were sort of on this. that they went through the record pretty carefully and it looked like disinterested people concluded, yeah, he did this.
3:09 am
he was directing some subordinants to talk talk to "wall street journal." whatever political frame you want to put on it, none of it had to do with harming donald trump. any beef to be made hillary clinton or people close to her campaign that these leaks were going out about clinton e-mail. so, the reality is you've got a firing here at the last minute that the president had, in fact, called for from the outside and just as mr. mccabe suggests, even though he may have done all the things that were talked about here, even if he did have a lack of candor, you do have a white house here that has decided to go to war, not just with him, but with the upper echelon of the fbi. think about that tweet. it's extraordinary that the president put that out there saying that lies and corruption at the highest levels of the fbi and he has said it so often and so much turmoil in this white house that it sort of comes and goes and we don't make that the
3:10 am
number one headline. lies and corruption going on at the highest level of the fbi is being alleged by the president of the united states without any kind of proof or backup. it's really extraordinary. >> let me read another tweet. this is from december of last year in which the president tweeted, fbi director andrew mccabe is racing the clock to retire with full benefits 90 days to go. we know he got within just two days of getting those full benefits. tom, back to you. and you say that you see here that the president from your perspective would not have been able to influence this process. what recourse do you believe that mr. mccabe has? >> i really don't know, victor. i don't know, i'm assuming that he is going to be able to file some type of lawsuit for being terminated wrongfully. and make a case on his side. and, you know, this is unprecedented. i've never seen anything quite at this level where, you know, you have somebody that is a cu
3:11 am
fbi agent and senior executive like mccabe in this position. we had director comey, but he was not a career fbi agent being removed. you had director sessions being removed by president clinton years ago, but to have this happen at this point, we don't know all of the story. but i think to me just the evidence that mounts up is, that, yes, you may have the d disclosure to "wall street journal" or any media may have started this. during the inquiry everybody knows the one thing you do not do is lie or try to cover up after the event. you have to be forthright. it's a severe offense within the fbi. it's something that is not taken lightly. and i think the mistake here is that president trump, with these tweets and these done this overand ovover and over again, has made it
3:12 am
worse. i think it may have happened sooner, had he not. if anything, the president's comments would only make the investigators and the final decisionmakers that much more diligent. that much more certain in their mind that this is the correct decision to make. and i think that president trump, you know, has been making a mistake in the way he's been handling all of his criticisms about the fbi for a long time. and i just think it's something that should have been done. if it was anybody else doing it, you would say this is is extremely unprofessional and should be done and you have the president of the united states doing it. >> tom fuentes, errollewis. thank you, both. still to come, the president's attorneys have joined a lawsuit to stop porn star stormy daniels from speaking publicly. they say she owes up to $20 million for what she said thus far. also a missed voicemail

3:17 am
for the first time president trump's attorneys have joined a lawsuit to keep porn star stormy daniels from speaking publicly. they say the porn actress could owe $20 million because she revealed details of her alleged affair with the president violating her nondisclosure agreement. daniels claims the nondisclosure isn't valid because the president who was not president at the time did not sign it. here's what her attorney had to say. >> this is truly remarkable. i don't know that there's ever been an instance in american history where you had a sitting president carrying out a personal vendetta and seeking $20 millio against a private
3:18 am
u.s. citizen who is merely trying to tell her version of the facts. he and his attorney, mr. cohn and now others are seeking to gag and silence my client and keep the information from the american people. >> cnn white house correspondent abbie philip is in washington with more. walk us through what happened here in the last 24 hours because it is really getting dicy. >> that's right, christi. this is an extraordinary moment because after weeks and months of saying the president really had nothing to do with this case and he wasn't aware of what his private attorney michael cohn was doing on his behalf as it relates to stormy daniels. the president's attorney is now joining this case with michael cohn with the nondisclosure agreement. what this means is that president trump is now named in these documents and also implies that some of the claims that cohn was making about what the president knew and when he knew it might need to be revisited
3:19 am
because now, in fact, the president's private attorney who is known as sort of a pitbull in this legal arena is joining this case and trying to continue to silence daniels. now, this filing essentially says that stormy daniels owes $20 million, an exorbitant amount of money because the original arbitration agreement required her to pay $1 million for every violation of the nondisclosure agreement. it's unclear what exactly these violations are. in a lot of stormy daniels' public appearances, she's actually said that she can't talk about this case. she can't talk about her relationship with trump and her attorney has made some statements about what stormy might have to say, but they haven't really gone into specifics. so, it's unclear what kind of violations they are referring to. on the other hand, stormy daniels' attorney has made some new claims in the last 24 hours that stormy has been physically
3:20 am
threatened in an effort to silence her, to stop her from talking about this ongoing litigation. it's unclear who he was referring to, but these allegations are pretty serious and suggest that people were acting on the president's behalf. sarah sanders, the white house press secretary, was asked about this yesterday in the briefing and listen to how she responded. >> obviously, we take the safety and security of any person seriously. certainly would condemn anyone threatening any individual, put i have no knowledge of that situation and would refer you to the president's outside personal attorneys. >> those comments were made before this new filing, bringing donald trump into this case formally and asking, also, christi, for this case to be moved to federal court in part because trump and his attorneys do not live in california. but what it means for the white house is that come monday, sarah sanders is not really going to be able to use that explanation,
3:21 am
that she simply can't answer these questions. the president is 100% a part of this case now. the white house is going to have to deal with this come monday, christi. >> abby philip, thank you for laying that out there. the thing is stormy daniels' case is sent to arbitration, hoping federal judges will be more friendly when handling the case. cnn legal analyst paul calhan. >> the jury says it is going to be arbitrated. courts are friendly to arbitration. the california courts in recent days have had a history of throwing out arbitration. cohn thinks he'll get a friendlier hearing in the federal courts. the second reason and very important reason is that federal judges are very hostile to lawyers who try their cases in the press. certainly in this case, you
3:22 am
don't want stormy daniels' lawyer giving all these speeches to the press and appearing on "60 minutes" to give an interview. a federal judge might hold him in contempt of court for trying to try his case out of court. those are the two primary reasons. this is a very good move by trump to move it to federal court. she took the $130,000 for her silence. and now she's turning around, apparently, because she is get a better price on the open market saying i want to have the agreement thrown out. other women might have stronger cases. that's ultimately what cohn and other people supporting trump fear. if you open the flood gates on all these agreements where women have been silenced, he's going to be crushed by the weight of these accusations. this is an important case for the trump administration. >> all righty. let's bring back cnn political commentator errol louis with us.
3:23 am
one thing he was talking about and something i thought about immediately when i read about this this morning. daniels' attorney and i want to put this up here fired off a series of tweets. how could president trump seek $20 million against my client based on an agreement that he and mr. cohn claim mr. trump never was a party to and knew nothing about. >> i don't think that was ever really in dispute too, be honest with you, christi. >> the president adamantly said he knew nothing. he said he knew nothing. michael cohn said he knew nothing. >> michael cohn has one client and he's always had one client for, i don't know, 10 or 20 years at that point. that client is donald trump. and to a lesser extent, the trump organization. i don't think there was ever any doubt about that. if you look at the nondisclosure
3:24 am
agreement. even with redactions it is obvious who is named in it and who is named in it is tonled trump. sarah sanders slipped up in one press conference and said one portion was resolved in mr. trump's favor. i think everyone knows who was involved here. go back and look at that the in touch interview that talks about events five years ago before the nondisclosure agreement was signed where stormy daniels makes detailed descriptions of her relationship with donald trump. that is as close to the truth as we're going to get right now. >> is that perhaps where this $20 million might be coming from? that president trump's attorneys are alleging if you mention once, it's a million dollar fine essentially because she hasn't said a lot. >> no, she has not. the interviews have been fascinating because she goes on late-night television and smiles at the camera and let the
3:25 am
interviewer ask all kind of questions and shakes her head and says i can't talk about it. the allegations that they're going to make, a violation of this, i think they're going to get them in even deeper. very, very skilled at trying to launder this information into public view in an attempt to embarrass the president. that's his point all along. >> i didn't get to the point where she was physically threatened by somebody since the president took office, if she goes public with this. and we're going to have to talk about that in a little bit. we've run out of time. i'm sorry, thank you. the big story, former fbi deputy director mccabe fired just days before his retirement and receiving the pension. next, how much will that cost mccabe and will this help the president? also, a missed call and now new questions. an engineer left a voicemail about this bridge in florida that collapsed. talked about cracks, but no one
3:26 am
heard the message until days after it collapsed.

3:31 am
mccabe was set to retire he is now the ex-deputy director. >> now, the outgoing deputy director stands to take a loss on his pension benefits. laura jared has more on why this firing is especially significant. >> for over a year, president trump has used andy mccabe as a political punching bag, but now mccabe is firing back. in an interview with cnn and a blistering public statement, mccabe saying in part, i am being singled out and treated this way because of the role i played, the actions i took and the events i witnessed in the aftermath of the firing of james comey. just two hours after mccabe's firing late on friday, a presidential tweet arrived with trump calling it a great day for the hard-working men and women of the fbi. a great day for democracy. trump went on to say, sanctimonious james comey was his boss and made mccabe look
3:32 am
like a choir boy. he knew all about the lies and corruption going on at the highest levels at the fbi. but the back story underlying is a bit more complicated. cnn had reported earlier this week that mccabe was the subject of a blistering internal review conducted by the justice department and the fbi about accusations that he misled investigators about his role in approving other fbi officials to talk to the press about an investigation back in 2016 into the clinton foundation. now, mccabe says he never misled investigators and he did nothing wrong. but attorney general jeff sessions confirmed at least in part those internal reviews late on friday. saying those reports concluded that mr. mccabe had made an unauthorized disclocher to the news media and lacked candor. as for mccabe, the loss at the
3:33 am
chance of early retirement is perhaps the most serious blow. because he was fired on friday when he was 49, he did not make it to 50 and that means he will lose out at least on a significant portion of his pension. laura jarrett, cnn, washington. so, obviously, it's been a busy week for the white house. exit interviews, particularly. tuesday alone president trump fired secretary of state rex tillerson. tillerson's under secretary of public affairs was fired for issuing a statement saying tillerson didn't know why he was being fired. >> and news broke that long-time trump personal aide john was fired and escorted out of the white house and then last night attorney general jeff sessions and andrew mccabe two days short of his retirement. look at this. >> there they are. >> i mean, this club is growing in leaps and bounds. this is a group of trump
3:34 am
administration alumni. does have quit or been fired from the top levels of the staff. but the president and his staff saying, hey, this isn't a big deal. >> as you move through an administration you have different priorities and different people who are going to lead those priorities. you may have changes from time to time. the president is committed to making sure he has the right people in the right place at the right time. >> there will always be change and i think you want to see change and i want to also see different ideas. we'll talk to you about it later. >> as for who could be next, i don't know. anybody's guess. >> no one knows. >> for quite some time chief of staff john kelly's name was at the top of a lot of people's lists who thought they were going to be out next. the president told advisors kelly is 100%.
3:35 am
reports that h.r. mcmaster is next to leave, and the list includes david schulkin and betsy devos and ryan zinke. this is donald trump's catch phrase, we don't need to say it. he took it from the show to the campaign trail. watch. >> you're fired. you're fired. i fired many people, especially on "the apprentice." john, you're fired. president obama, you're fired. >> the president has not carried out many face-to-face firings from the oval office. errol louis back with us. this is the president who made millions of dollars on that line, you're fired. when we look back over the last 14 months or so not something
3:36 am
the president does or likes to do. in person. >> i don't know. i don't know if he wants to do it in person, but in some ways that's the least of it. if you could fire somebody using a twitter, in some was, it's almost more dismissive and more disrespectful. certainly what happened to rex tillerson was almost unprecedented. the kind of off-hand scornful crushing of somebody's career the way the president seemed to enjoy doing. i think is part of the larger picture of what's going on here which is that he's running the white house the way he ran his tv show. he's acting like a game show host. he's distracting us with all his palace intrigue while when it comes to actual serious policies, judicial appointments and the immigration system, foreign policy of the united states. the running of the economy. things are moving along in a pretty determined kind of a way and i think he's counting on all of us to be distracted by all of
3:37 am
this foolishness about inouthe he treats people. >> he had said earlier this week that he was hoping to get people in there that, i think i'm quoting here correctly, that he was happy with. essentially, errol, he is looking to pull in people that are like-minded to him. is this somebody who can deal with people who have different mindsets? >> well, the answer appears to be no. one of the ways you could get yourself fired, a couple sure fire ways to get yourself fired. get more press than the president. show up on the cover of "time" magazine looking as if you're leading some important portion of the government and not the president. you're out the door. that's what happened to steve bannon. another way to get fired is to disagree with the president. that appears to be, from what all the reporting indicates, what is going to doom h.r. mcmaster as the national security adviser. he's not looking for a whole lot
3:38 am
of disagreement. turmoil is one thing. if you want to fight with other cabinet members. if you want to fight with the press. the president apparently will look on and sort of applaud and watch the whole thing with a certain amount of glee. if you actually disagree with him, however, that's not something he's going to tolerate. this has been made clear over and over again to surprisingly senior people who are experts in their field and who did not expect, i think, to be treated with such scorn and contempt by the president of the united states. >> let's look at some of the people that the president has fired. there were, of course, the firings by the chief of staff, john kelly. but you look at sally yates who was fired by letter. jim comey was on the other side of the country giving a speech when he saw it pop up on cnn that he was fired. reince priebus was on the tarmac and put into a separate car and driven off in a different direction than the motorcade. rex tillerson, as we reported, learned through twitter and now andrew mccabe was sent, we're
3:39 am
told, an e-mail to an account he no longer uses because he's not really doing the job. and then learned personally through a press release. let's broaden the scope, errol. we put this together with the president who says i'll take the heat for the controversial legislation on health care or daca and guns and doesn't. the president who blames his predecessors and even we can go back to last year when a navy s.e.a.l. was killed in yemen and he said, you know, the generals lost ryan. is this his approach to the job or is this the president's character? >> well, you raise an interesting point. he's got a couple of go-to moves, right. where he'll at first stand up as if he's going to take the heat and then when the heat comes, he's no where to be found. yousk you've also got a president who likes this roman coliseum sort of distraction and
3:40 am
this man agement as a form of entertainment to keep himself amused and the rest of us amused. those fires are really sort of extraordinary when you lay them next to each other. he find ever more creative ways to humiliate members of his own team. i personally think it tends more towards character. you wouldn't do that to people just on a human level, right? that even if you need to make a change, even if you are angry at somebody. even if you want somebody out the door and you want the public to know why you did it, those little personal touches like the way reince priebus was treated. the way rex tillerson was treated i think go to something deeper and that is, in fact, an important part of leadership. >> all righty. errol louis, always appreciate your perspective. >> thank you. crews are still searching this morning what is left of that collapsed florida bridge. investigators are next to them as they are digging for answers. that 950-ton structure.
3:41 am
why did it crumble to the ground is the big question. well, a new voicemail has emerged warning of cracks, but it wasn't caught right away. does that answer anything for investigate snrz we're back with investigate snrz we're back with more after this. and watery near pugs.thaty for all the people who sneeze around dust. there's flonase sensimist allergy relief. it relieves all your worst symptoms including nasal congestion, which most pills don't. it's more complete allergy relief. and all from a gentle mist you can barely feel. flonase sensimist helps block 6 key inflammatory substances. most pills only block one. and 6 is greater than 1. flonase sensimist. so, howell...going? we had a vacation early in our marriage that kinda put us in a hole. go someplace exotic? yeah, bermuda. a hospital in bermuda. a hospital in bermuda. what? what happened? i got a little over-confident on a moped.

it's hard to get all the daily that's why i love fiber choice. it has the fiber found in many fruits and vegetables, all in a tasty chewable tablet. fiber choice: the smart choice. this morning we learned the lead engineer on a florida bridge project tried to tell state officials about cracks. he left the message on a d.o.t. landline and here's the problem, no one heard that until after the bridge collapse. >> still, federal investigators warn it is too early to draw any conclusions about what caused the structure to crumble. kayley has the latest. >> we're learning an engineer for the company that designed the pedestrian bridge that collapsed at florida
3:46 am
international university was aware at least two days before that collapse of cracks in the newly installed portion of the bridge. the florida department of transportation releasing a voicemail that that engineer left on one of their employee's landlines on tuesday. that's two days before the collapse but that voicemail not heard until today. the state employee had been out of the office in the meantime. listen to what the engineer detailed. >> hey, tom, tom. i was calling to share with you some information about the fiu pedestrian bridge and some cracking that has been observed on the north end of the span. pylon end of that span we moved this weekend. so, we've taken a look at it and, obviously, some repairs or whatever will have to be done. but from a safety perspective, we don't see there is any issue there. we're not concerned from that perspective, but the cracking is not good and something is going to have to be, you know, done to

repair that. >> the engineer said very clearly there, he wasn't concerned about the cracks from a safety perspective. but this information released by the florida department of transportation came out right as the ntsb chairman robert sunwalt was meeting with the media on friday night. he said his organization was not aware of any such tips of cracks in the bridge, but that interviews would be done with all of those involved here over the course of their investigation. we also learned more about what was happening at the moment of the bridge's collapse. the ntsb chairman saying that work was being done to strengthen the diagonal supports that connected the walkway of the bridge with the canopy of the bridge. that activity also on the north end. so why it may seem reasonable to draw conclusion that work was being done on the north end of the bridge, the engineer was aware of cracks at the north end of the bridge, the ntsb says it's too early to draw such

champions and here they were taking down the number one overall seed in the tournament, virginia. two words describe this moment. historic and unbelievable. umbc coach ryan odom was a ball boy for virginia the last time they were number one in the tournament back in the '80s and his star player, lyles was raised by parents who both attended uva. what are the chances of that? lyles led the retrievers with 28 points. it was a 74-58 blowout. the retrievers from now on wherever they go, whatever they end up doing in life they will forever be remembered as the underdogs who made history. the other side of this, incredible victory, of course, crushing defeat. virginia players probably already thought what it will feel like to go back to camps and walk into class and they'll be remembered as a team that allowed one of the greatest upsets in sports history. the greatness of march madness made even greater when there is
