what was discovered and what has occurred here at this facility. we'll continue to do that. meanwhile, they continue to urge people across the city to call in anything suspicious. and by all accounts folks in austin have done that. more than 1300 calls in the last week. wolf. >> thanks for that report. that's it for me. erin burnett outfront starts right now. outfront next the president congratulates putin for sham election. plus republican warns trump if he fires robert mueller only constitutional remedy is impeachment. that's from the gop. and stom passes polygraph test fights to tell her story talking about being paid a whole lot of money right before the election. let's go outfront. and good evening i'm erin burnett outfront tonight trump congratulates putin. president picking up the phone

telling reporters he called putin to congratulate winning fourth 6 year term as president of russia. it was a land slide of mass ballot stuffing as you can see there. in this video you can see what's happening. we have not confirmed authenticity it is from the associated press. but president says putin's win is worthy of congratulations. >> i had a call with president putin and congratulated him on ts victory, his electoral victory. the call had to do also with the fact that we will probably get together in the not too distant future so that we can discuss arms. we can discuss the arms race. >> congratulations and the arms race. but president trump did not call putin out for a rigged undemocratic election. >> why doesn't the president or the white house believe that's

something they should be discussing with the russian leader? >> i didn't say we couldn't discuss it with the russia leader. it didn't come up on today's call. >> which was a congratulations call about the rigged election. which is really big double standard for this administration because consider what the president has said about another dictator closer to home. here's statement on venezuela last summer. this is a quote from the president's statement. the united states once again calls for free and fair elections and stan with the people of venezuela and quest to restore their country to democracy. so it matters in car as cuss but not most could i. the president's congratulations call did not sit well with mccain. mccain tweeting american president does not lead the free world by congratulating dictators and winning sham elections. and by doing so president trump insulted every russian citizen right to vote in a free and fair election.

but, maybe, maybe there is an explanation. maybe the president used it as an opportunity to call him out for attacks in midterm elections or poisoning former spy to lived in the u.k. americas closest ally. did he? >> readout department say anything about russian meddling. >> i don't believe it came up on the specific call. >> election meddling didn't come up in the call. i'm curious did the recent poisoning come up? >> i don't believe that was discussed in today's call. >> okay. i don't believe that was discussed. itsds a pretty damming admission considering people in trump's own administration are criticizing russia for election meddling and likely poison attack. here's the president own u.n. ambassador nikki haley on the poisoning. >> if we don't take immediate concrete measures to address this now, salisbury will not be

the last place we see chemical weapons used. they could be used here in new york or cities in any country that sits on this council. >> so u.s. ambassador to the united nations trump's ambassador says putin could use weapons in new york but doesn't mention it to putin. and trump doesn't bring up putin election meddling even though his own chiefs is attacking the u.s. midterm elections right now. >> there should be no doubt that russia perceived that it's past efforts has successful and views the 2018 u.s. midterm elections as a potential target for russian influence operations. >> we have seen russian activity and intentions to have impact on the next election cycle here. >> so why did trump congratulate putin? and not confront him on anything? that gets to the heart of the question facing this country and trump's presidency and ryan

noble outfront lich at the white house to begin our coverage. ryan, white house is on the defense over this call after russian released details of the conversation first before the president even talked about it. >> yeah, that's right, erin, in fact the white house didn't officially acknowledge that the call took place until the president was asked about it during the oval office with the crown prince of saudi arabia. and as you very smartly point out today, so much in this call that was not apart of this conversation between the two leaders. they did not discuss russia's attempt to meddle in the election in 2016. they did not discuss the nerve agent attack. instead the white house put out a brief paragraph statement who said the two leaders discussed the situation on korean peninsula and talked about share concern about global security and a couple other things. but these big huge issues that seem to be dividing united states and russia were not brought up. then when sarah sanders took to the podium at around 2:00 today and pressed on these big issues, she said it was just not brought up and didn't have an

explanation as to why. so the big question now is, erin, you heard the president himself say that he is making plans to sit down and meet face-to-face with vladimir putin in the near future. didn't say when that was going to take place. will that be the opportunity for him to bring up some of these big, important issues between these two countries? because at this point the opportunity had to do it today just did not take place. erin. >> certainly did not. and as good opportunity as you'll get. thank you, very much, ryan. outfront now phil mud and julia, and retired rear admiral john kirby. thanks to all. phil, so putin picks up the phone and it's trump calling him to say, hey, congratulations. and that appears to be about it. >> you know, there is two pieces to this i found simply behalf

lin baffling. let's take both of them. we had the department of justice indictments based on the fbi investigation meddling in elections. we have the state department, rex tillerson now almost gone, was tough on the russians. all in the tell chiefs talk about the russians. you would think the president of the united states had directed them to be tough, but instead it's the oddest thing i've seen. he comes out and says nothing about the kind of stuff that his agencies are attacking the russians on. the second thing i'd say is post world war ii our best ally is the britt's. can you imagine having attempted murder on your soil and your closest ally calling the individual responsible for that attempted murder and for getting to mention it because it didn't come up. do you think putin is going to raise it? i mean, it reaches a level of business sar thatbusines bazaar

make sense to me. >> we are talking about the meddling election in the midterms currently in progress and of course the poisoning, why not bring them up? >> i don't know. i agree with phil. it is absolutely confounding that he wouldn't do this. can you imagine prime minister may didn't make a call obviously today. can you imagine if the situation was reversed if she hadn't talked about poisoning south carolina in the united states? of course she wouldn't do that. everyone of these phone calls is not just an obligation and there is no obligation necessarily to call. but they are an opportunity. and this is -- have you to keep everything in time and space tan context within this election took place in this our country. this was a prime opportunity for him to raise the 2018 elections coming up and what we want russia to do and do not do. and he missed that opportunity. i heard ryan when you first came on with him, erin, and i have to tell you i don't see even when he sits down with putin, trump

even bringing up election interference or what's going on in the midterms that are coming up, i don't see it happening. >> juliet, mccain slammed president trump for calling putin his own party. and slow criticize on some things did criticize him. here's senator mcconnell. >> when i look at that i see the lack of credibility and tal link the results. calling him wouldn't have been. >> what does say the members of his own party is coming out against the president on this? >> it may be they are losing patience. but also hard to defend. because before you go et to the substance of it, what did donald trump and his team think was going to happen when they called putin? did they really think that putin was not going to turn around immediately and set the

conditions of what the conversation were about and tell the public so that we are now on as the united states, forget the trump people, united states citizens, we are on defense having to sort of say, oh, well, that call actually did happen. putin either played him or they did not know or got played by putin, the trump people. but on the substance of it, it is so important not just about the past, 2016, or even the poison gas that happened a couple of days ago this was a prime opportunity to set the stage for 2018. and i think about this from the homeland security aspect as well. we have a couple dozen states that are now acknowledging that russians tried to get into their system or fat least russia affiliated attempts into their systems. we have left the homeland completely exposed. now, is it collusion between trump and putin? i don't know. but i'll say at this stage, trump is enabler.

he is absolute enabler what putin is doing to this homeland and democratic processes and gets played. and at some stage you have to believe he wants to get played. >> his homeland security said grid russians could have turned the whole thing off. they chose not to do so. that didn't come up. even though his own department of security put that report out t and on this basic issue, phil about a free and fair election. most basic part about all this. congratulations part. sarah sanders was pressed on whether russia's election was actually fair. and she couldn't even answer that question. and i want to play that for you. >> does the white house believe that the election in russia was free and fair? >> look, in terms of the election, we are focused on our elections. we don't get to dictate what other countries operate.

what we do know is that putin has been elected in their country. and that's not something that we can dictate to them how they operate. >> phil, it doesn't add up. the vice president is going to be giving a speech on venezuela calling on them to call for free and fair elections in venezuela. so the facts are they are per fblgtly happy to call for that in that case but did not add up to putin. >> it does add up. if you look at what president trump said since coming into office. horrific if pihilippines, we don't talk about it. general see see, really questionable human rights in turkey, president calls him and gre congratulates him op the election. thes message is simple if you can put a thumb on people and stamp out decent, we don't care

about elections, we are good with you that's correct the message from the oval office. >> which is scary when you this i about what the united states does and the example of venezuela is an example what we have traditionally done. admiral, i have to ask you, the french president macron called out russian for the poisoning which trump hasn't not. also called him up after the last win. he did take longer to do it than trump but he did call. is it any different? >> yes, it is different. erin, it's a lot different. let's go back to the obama call in 2012. first of all he didn't congratulate putin. congratulated russian people on completing an election. and the rest of the statement was carefully worded. but that was 2012. that was before putin invaded ukraine and decided to pop you have as sad with weaponry. before putin decided to

interfere, not meddle, interfere in the 2016 election. you have to take it in space and time. and the situation in 2018 is radically different. in 2012 oh by the way trying to help get the iran deal negotiated and needed russia's help. so the situation was radically different. >> all right. thank you all, very much. i appreciate it. and next, republican senator warns trump of impeerment if he fires robert mueller. a republican at the white house defends president's attacks on the investigation. >> plus more legal troubles piling up for the president. that's stormy daniels taking a polygraph test and it turns out she's was telling the truth. >> and another woman now suing so she can talk about her alleged a fair with trump where she received a whole bunch of money to be quiet about. and ben carson throwing his wife under the bus explaining

while insisting that even though he attacks him, he doesn't plan to fire him. >> if he had been attacked manage mercilessly every single second while you are trying hard to do good things for this country, and literally every day you wake up to an on slot of peopleizatipeople saying you are there for reasons completely false, that's frustrating. certainly i think fair for him to be frustrated. >> why doesn't he push for the firing of robert mueller if approach is a witch hunt? >> we'll continue to be cooperative and we would like this to wrap up soon. we don't feel like that's the most productive step forward. >> outfront former prosecutor glen representing former clinton in the monica lewandowski investigation. and representing a client

manafort gains allegations. also with me former white house counsel john dean. john, the white house says it would not be productive to fire robert mueller but totally okay to delegitize his investigation by calling it a witch hunt. how do those two things square? >> i think what we are witnessing someone is cutting someone off at the knees which is firing and slowly choking him which is what we are seeing him killing him slowly with withholding information, bad mouthing him, trying to trash him, having surrogates do so. and i think that's the effort here is they don't want to risk the firing, but they are willing to proceed with this slow strangulation, if you will. >> interesting analogy. glen, you've defended a president during impeerment hearings. if jeff flake right in firing mueller would lead to impeachment.

>> erin, thank you for having me. great to be here. i think so. i hope so. i don't know where the republican leadership is on all this right now. hard to say. i would add to john's comments. i this i it was 11 days ago, maybe a week and a half ago where president trump said he wasn't going to make changes to his legal defense treeam, and y yesterday we see new entrance. so seemingly what the house says on any day is only as good as the next decision. so i don't know if a constitution pal crisis should ensue. it should. >> so, john, the point that he made. glen is referring to joe who the president we learned president hired yesterday. we are learning he is reaching out to ted olson. but we learned olson said no. so is this a sign that he's w e

worried? because he called "new york times" fake news. >> it certainly doesn't give current legal team a lot of confidence if they have longevity in their jobs. they have already had the experience difficulty of a difficult client, which he is. and the addition he's made of jodie geneva is interesting. joe is always a zealot advocate for any client he represents. and i think he was auditioning on the job by fox news before he got it by raising this conspiracy theory approach what's going on which has little be bearing on anything happening. so i think the president's legal team i don't know if they would be there or not. i would think some of them inclined to leave. >> which is interesting point, you know ted olson, what do you make of the fact he has said no to joining the president's team? >> well, it's my understanding

itsd not the first time he said no. i think ted is his career has been characterized obviously he served at the highest level of justice department solicitor general. thoroughly decent civil advocate. he's a rock republican, but i this i as john said he would be confronted with representing a very difficult client here who can't be controlled. i can't imagine the audition of him to the team increased likelihood that he would want to join a team where you have somebody who is accused fbi agents and potentially prosecutors of being part after deep state, a team of crux and liars, that's not ted's style. and i think to john's point to sort of instability of having lawyers on one hand go before the special counsel and try to negotiate terms of interview while somebody else on the legal defense team is calling them crux and liars doesn't work. >> president has been getting attacks on mueller. but what's interesting we saw

old interviews 1998 talking about the clinton impeachment not much difference. i wanted to play hillary clinton and former senior counselor here's what they were saying in 1998. >> when we see day after day, leak after leak, lie after lie, which may very well be coming from mr. star's operation, may well inquiry. >> this is the vast right wing conspiracy that has been conspiring since my husband the day he announced for president. >> if you switched the names, glen, it's amazing, maybe that's why they hate each other so much. sounds like trump. is this different? >> fair question. >> it is standard operating

procedure when defending against a criminal investigation to sort of try to muddy up the goodwill of the prosecutor. in every criminal case, in special counsel investigations. it is different here. you didn't see president clinton sort of tweeting and making public statements all the time about a witch hunt. you didn't see attacks of the nature we are seeing. and importantly nothing has happened yet in this investigation with respect to mr. trump. no allegations have been levelled by the special counsel. he hasn't been interviewed. things might break his way, yet he's acting like he's about to be indicted. that singles i this i to many people a consciousness of guilt and very least erratic sensibility. that's where i think that's going. >> house oversight committee, that's for sure. thank you both very much. next results of stormy daniels lie detect tear test has been released. there she is while taking it. what did she say about her alleged relationship? by the way, polygraph says she's

released results of polygraph that she took in 2011 about her story of her time with the president. according to the report, she told the truth about having unprotected sex with donald trump in 2006. now, remember, this is important because she was paid $130,000 just days before the election by the president's personal attorney to sign a nondisclosure agreement to not disclose details about her alleged a fair wi affair with trump. but trump's problems don't stop there. mcdougal own. this is important, owner media, paid mcdougal $130,000 for her story and squashed it. didn't run it. take a story in and kill it because you don't want anyone else to run it either. the owner is done peeker, this

happened three months before the election. obviously, mj lee is outfront, this is crucial, whether it's paid to do the campaign, and the results of stormy daniels polygraph is it a big deal. >> it is a big deal. because it's first time seeing details of that polygraph test. this this was for a reminder stormy daniels did with life and style magazine back in 2011. interviewed her. and then to try to determine whether she was telling the truth made her take the polygraph. two questions, one did you have vaginal intercourse with president trump 2006 and sex? >> and she scienced both to yes. and an according to the person administered the test, there was no reason to question she was telling the truth. there is also video of this test being taken.

michael avenatti stormy daniels lawyer says he paid $25,000 to it be in possession of this video. and he says so this can be kept safely during this litigation so that it is not altered or destroyed. >> so obviously that's significant because this whole litigation is about her being able to tell her story and the nondisclosure agreement. which we now know was david dennison the other signature is indeed donald trump. there is another development for the president today, this is third one defamation suit filed against him by one of the women accusing him of sexuality assault, not con sen shall affair is now ready to proceed. >> yeah, that's right, this is former contest ents on the p.r. apprentice, but accused prum assaulting her in 2007, several occasions when she says he kissed her twice on the lips and another incident in beverly hills where she says he kissed her and touched her breasts.

remember she had filed a defamation suit against donald trump pan the lawyers for donald trump wanted this to it be either dismissed or for there to be continuance until trump leaves office. new york judge today saying neither of those things is going to happen. the lawsuit will continue. and donald trump now has ten days to respond. >> all right. mj. thank you very much. obviously significant developments three of them on this front today. chief correspondent gloria borger outfront. saying she was threat end aeneds not going away. you have yet another women saying she was paid by close friend of the president and he quashed the story so raises more questions about election law. >> and then you have on sumner there is this ruling no presidential immunity which

leads me to think back to the paula jones case. and this judge, in fact, cited the paula jones case saying nobody is above the law which bill clinton discovered. and i think that is what donald trump is going to discover. so suddenly you have this story which was a stormy daniels story which was on a low boil, then you have these other stories now adding to that boil, and at some point you'll have to have a president of the united states who actually addresses not only the behavior, i mean put that aside, some people discount it, oh, that's just donald trump, not only the behavior, but the question of payoffs, of hush money, of threats. i think these issues are going to have to become discussed in the political arena, not only by the president himself, but also by the president's political supporters. >> i mean, because wendy it would mean now there is going to be some sort of questions the president has to answer if you

look at the summer case, right. he's not immune. >> yeah. and great news from that judge to just apply the law correctly against the most powerful man in the world. i was so pleased to see that. and i don't have an opinion about the case. i'm just saying i like it when someone in the position of power is held to account. he can defend himself but has to answer the charge. i love the judge did that. this is not a part son issue. let's be clear. i'm a nonpart son. i'm just as happy bill krin ton held up against this. because sexual access to women's body has been bipartisan male entitlement. we have to make sure all of these abusive men in position of power held to account. so very good day to women in this country. >> you say the judge today the president was not immune raise the paula joan example.

there was an op-ed by richard cohen he talked about ernest hemingway got a scratch. things happened. jeep didn't show up. but he got gangrene and died. and analogy he's making is stormy daniels cob the scratuld scratch. that cob the big problem for trump's presidency? he is right? >> he could be. it's too early. he has a lot of scratches. he has the russia investigation going on which hangs over him and has hung over him. this question of -- >> i'd say that's more of a cut, right? >> right. but that's on a different level. that's a political level. where politicians can jump in and say don't fire mueller. that would be the wrong thing to do, et cetera. the politicians in his own party they are not talking about this at this point. they are not touching this.

paul ryan at one point said that's not on my radar. i'm not going to go near it. at a certain point this grows larger. we have stormy daniels the lie detector test. we have her being interviewed by anderson 60 minutes on sunday. and the questions from where did the money from the payoff come from? we know that sam nunberg has been asked about that by fbi vegtd o investigators. so suddenly it's a question of how meaningful does this come to the president's political future. we don't know the answer to that. >> we don't know. but what we do know is stormy daniels was paid $130,000 days before the election in october of 2016. and now karen mcdougal says she was paid by the national inquiry which of course is controlled by a close friend of the president's $150,000 to basically get her story in exchange for her not telling anybody else. do you think that this is a

pattern that there were more payments looic this? because the more there are, the more it raises the question about election violation? >> yeah, i'm sure there are more. just too many women have come forward with stories and we don't know the details how many of them were paid. if so, how much, by whom, you know, how close in proximity to the election is really critical. because the closer to the election, the greater the chance that investigators will say that's a campaign finance violation. see, the defense to that would be, and it's fine to assert this, that president trump or somebody working on his behalf would have made the payments anyway to protect his personal privacy. to protect his family from knowing that he was doing these things. that's a defense. even if you make the payments to the benefit of the candidate, if the payments would have been made anyway, defense, might not be any charges. >> that's right. >> but the more there are, hardest it is to make that

claim. >> all right. thank you both very much. and of course admitting they exist is admitting nda which you can't do which is a whole leaf of of complexity. >> breaking story on what we just gave you, get ready for this the president's call with putin, remember we talked about that a moment ago. "washington post" has a new report report that the president was given a briefing material before the call. and it was very specific. it had in all capital letters warnings from his national security advisers again in lawful caps, quote, do not congratulate. yet that is the first thing the president said he did. >> i had a call with president put ina and congratulated him o his victory. the call had to do with the fact that we will probably get together in the not too distant future so we can discuss arms. we can discuss the arms race.

>> okay. so the first thing that he did was congratulate. they had it in all caps not to do so. talking points by the national security team also instructed the president 0 to condemn president putin for poisoning of the former spy who lived in the u.k. obviously the press secretary at the white house confirmed that didn't happen. that didn't come up. didn't bring it up. outfront now "washington post" who broke this story. josh, i have to say this was pretty incredible. told directly not to do it in all captains before the call, do not congratulate. >> right. the president is given two different things, written briefing then given an oral briefing. our reporting indicates in the written briefing he was told in haul caps do not congratulate. in the oral briefing before his call with vladimir putin that was not reiterated. and then when the president got on the phone with the russian president, he immediately congratulated him on his election. obviously, inside the white house it's contest whether this was a free and fair election,

they do not think so. but the president as he did with the turkish president, china president, congratulated him on being able to be president for eternity, and even joked maybe we should try that in the united states. he often does want to deliver these congratulations. >> so the other point you report is that the briefing, written briefing, i believe you are going to say, but please clarify, that the president was told to condemn the poisoning of the former russian spy on u.k. soil. obviously the president did no such thing in the call. but tell me more about that and how you learned about that. >> correct. in the briefing there was material on condemning this attack. obviously, world has condemned it. seniored relationships between the russia and great britain. the president did not condemn the attack. a in the call with vladimir putin. he was in the briefing material about syria in the white house official read yat.

he did mention syria and north korea. so the two parts we have been able to determine he did not follow obviously the part about not congratulating the president and condemning him for the attack. >> so do you know, josh, whether he knew that he was told not to do that? i mean, did they tell him verbally or it was in the briefing and didn't bother to read it? which is pretty obviously pretty bad? >> that's what we don't know. we know it was not brought up in the oral briefing again this morning. but in the written briefing it was there. whether the president saw it and chose to ignore it or whether he did not see it, our associates have not been able to delineate that fact for us. >> all right. still incredibly significant. do not congratulate in all caps. first thing the president membersed that he did. thaungs very much, josh, and thanks for your reporting. next cam bren analytical under fire, a new damming expose. the data firms executives say

the company got trump in the white house and ceo met donald trump himself many times. significant new development tonight. you'll see that. and texas officials warning everyone in the state not to take changes with packages. another bomb going off today. five in 19 days. mayor of austin is outfront. patrick woke up with a sore back. but he's got work to do. so he took aleve this morning. if he'd taken tylenol, he'd be stopping for more pills right now. only aleve has the strength to stop tough pain for up to 12 hours with just one pill. tylenol can't do that. aleve. all day strong. all day long. check this sunday's paper for extra savings
