back. >> contradicts the narrative that has been put forth by the police. the white house not happy with scott pruitt over his controversial living arrangements and his security detail. is the epa chief perhaps the next one to go? >> i think he should resign. if he doesn't resign, the president should fire him. good morning. glad to have your company as always. i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. good saturday to you. we're starting this morning with the shocking new video of alton sterling's final moments and also the officer who shot and killed him. we know he has been fired more than a year and a half, nearly two years after pulling that trigger. >> july 5th, 2016, when sterling, a black man, was shot six times by a white officer. the officer responding to a call about a man with a gun. you might remember the cell phone video ignited outrage just hours after sterling's death. the new video that you're about

to see gives a clearer account of exactly what happened that night. >> now we want to warn you that this video is disturbing. cnn's ka has more for you. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. now with the help of both officers' body cams and surveillance video from the convenience store, we now have a more clearer account of the events that led to sterling's death. this video released last night by the baton rouge police department. i want to remind you once again, this is disturbing. graphic and disturbing new video. >> what i do? what i do? >> don't [ bleep ] move. i'll shoot your [ bleep ]. put your [ bleep ] hands on the car. >> reporter: showing the controversial shooting death of alton sterling in 2016. the baton rouge chief of police announcing officer blaine sa salimony will be fired as a result of his actions.

>> the violation of command of temper has been sustained. officer blaine salimony has been terminated from the police department effective today. >> reporter: this week salimony refused to answer any questions. the chief said howie lake, the other officer involved, answered them all. lake, he said, made mistakes but controlled his temper during the encounter and was given a three-day unpaid suspension. >> perspectivives, one officer did not follow the tactics, training, professionalism and organization of standards. >> reporter: the police chief making it clear their administrative investigation was separate from the federal criminal charges both officers were already cleared of. the police department released four videos from the night of the shooting, including this surveillance footage from the trip triple-s convenience store. that's sterling at the front of the store selling c.d.s. minutes into the tape, he's seen conducting a transaction with an unidentified man. here he removes what appears to be a gun from his front pocket

followed by money from the same pocket. within seconds, sterling is seen jokingly making a shooting motion toward the man. that night police were initially called to the triple-s convenience store responding to a 911 call from a witness who saw a man with a gun. watch closely as things escalate quickly. from salimony's perspective, you can see a brief struggle, then his gun is trained on sterling's head. >> i'm going to shoot you in your [ bleep ] head. you hear me? don't you [ bleep ] move. >> all right. hold up. hold up. you're hurting my arm. >> narrator: sterling was pinned to the ground and tased twice. >> get on the ground! get on the ground! >> pop him again, howie! >> reporter: before being fatally shot. [ gunshots ] >> reporter: previously released cell phone videos recorded by bystanders show at this point in the encounter salimony believed sterling was armed. >> he's got a gun! >> reporter: a gun was recovered from sterling's body. but the federal and state

investigations determined that the officer's actions were reasonable and couldn't prove that sterling wasn't reaching for a gun. blaine salimony's attorney tells cnn they are disappointed in the chief's decision to fire salimony. they believe he should have gotten a sentence similar to lake's three-day suspension and will appeal in hopes of reversing the chief's decision. as the video circulates, the sterling family is trying to keep alton sterling's five children from seeing it. the family's attorney tells cnn that what they find particularly disturbing about this video and disrespectful is the way you see the officers cuss over alton sterling's body and call him names as he lay bleeding and dying. >> kaylee hartung, thank you very much. in sacramento, the latest police killing of an unarmed black man is spreading. the information spreading across

the country. the motion there spreading, too. >> no doubt. cnn was there as black lives matter activists marched for stephon clark, the 22-year-old gunned down this month. here's ryan young. >> reporter: another night of protests in sacramento. you can see the protesters behind me letting their voices be heard. this is a day that had a lot of high emotion because the attorney for the family came out with their own findings and autopsy. the autopsy showed that stephon clark was shot once in the side, six shots to the back, and another in the leg. the father, too, they believe was on the grounds dying for several minutes before receiving help. ultimately he died. now you can see the power of this protest that has been taking to the streets the last few days. they plan to have another protest saturday before the nba game here. there's been a lot of conversation about what to do next here in this city. we know the police department has said they will not comment about the independent autopsy because they do not want to comment before their investigation is finished.

what they are doing here, though, is standing still right outside of city hall to make sure their voices are heard. once again, another protest saturday, a lot of people wondering what will happen next because people in this community said they want to have more answers from the authorities involved. ryan young, cnn, sacramento. >> we'll keep you posted on how that goes. now listen, guess what -- maybe you've heard this one before. a member of the president's cabinet this morning facing backlash for how they're spending taxpayer dollars. >> notice we didn't stop you because we have certainly heard it before. sources tell cnn that senior white house aides are frustrated with epa head scott prewitt after learning from news reports that prewitt has been renting a condo in washington at a rate that's far below market value from the family of an energy lobbyist. some democrats are calling on pruitt to resign. let's go to cnn's bey phillip joining -- cnn's abby phillip,

joining the team at the resort. the administration has questions dealing with the fallout from pruitt. >> reporter: that's right, good morning. the president being tailed a little bit here by some of the problems with his cabinet. he is here in mar-a-lago for the easter weekend. and while it has been fairly quiet here, he's been out playing golf at his resort, there have been some issues with his cabinet members. you mentioned the environmental protection agency's scott pruitt, now under increased scrutiny for different ethics-related issues. one being his use of a 24/7 security detail. now this issue of a condo in washington that he has apparently been renting from a political donor for a small amount of money, about $6,000 in six months, which many critics say is not near what the market value would be for that property. now the frustration in the white house is growing with pruitt

because he is one of several cabinet members who has been embroiled in these controversies related to ethics issues and spending. others including ben carson and -- and david shulkin, v.a. secretary who recently was ousted from his position, were called in to the white house in the last several weeks by the chief of staff, john kelly, and told that optics matter, optics matter when it comes to some of these things, and they wanted the cabinet secretaries to get out front of some of these issues and not have the white house and the president find out about problems like this from the media. the problem for pruitt is that that's exactly what happened. some of these stories have been coming out in recent days, blind siding white house aides. and now questions are being raised about what he is going to do about them and how he's going to resolve this issue. so far, the white house hasn't said anything at all which administration sources tell us is an indication that they are not going out to defend pruitt on this issue.

>> all right, abby phillip in west palm beach. thank you. the epa is defending pruitt's department deal, though. the former director of the department of government ethics, however, calls that defense "total baloney." the man behind the comments, walter schwab, joining me. thank you very much for being with us. i want to read what you tweeted yesterday so people understand it in full context. you say, "i'm giving this epa press release a rating of total baloney. you cannot get a whole place to yourself in that prime location for $1,500. nor will you find anyone willing to hold it open for you and charge you only for the nights you use it." again, an epa official said the ethics council reviewed the living arrangement. that the ethics issue was not one because he paid rent and the landlord was a friend and by law, "does not ban federal employees from receiving a gift from a friend." do you give any credence to those conclusions? >> no, that's silly.

in fact, the epa released a memo yesterday that was dated yesterday. pruitt did not go to the epa ethics office and get advice in advance as to whether this was appropriate. this story broke, and then the epa tried to come up with a post rationalization. and the rationalization is preposterous. they don't actually rely on the alleged friendship, and they really can't because the lobbyist told the press yesterday that they're merely casual friends. that would not meet the standard for an exception of the gift rule based on close personal relationships where you get a gift under circumstances that it's absolutely clear that the gift was solely motivated by the relationship. but the justification they tried to offer which just has about everybody in washington who's ever looked for an apartment chuckling is the idea that it's perfectly normal in this town to

get a prime location -- and this house really is that, next to the house/senate office building on capitol hill, for $50 a night. and the owner will hold the house open for you for any night you won't use it. he won't rent it to anybody else, but you only pay for the nights you actually stay there at well below market rate. there's no doubt that this is a gift and below market rate. the epa's justification doesn't wash. the one thing i would add is that it seems pretty clear to me based on some of the reporting out there and things that i've actually heard indirectly from my own sources, is that the ethics officials were told about this pretty much the night before, and they may have been given incomplete information. for instance, initially some of the reporting suggested that pruitt was only renting one room in the houseme.

and of course you'd pay less if you were renting one room, and the owner might put any stranger, who could be an axe murderer in there with you. later it turned out the daughter was staying there. and some of the reporting says that the ethics officials didn't know that pruitt actually had the run of the house. >> i want to put up a picture here that abby referred to of five of the other cabinet members who have been facing similar accusations here. you've got tom price there, shulkin, ben carson. what's striking here may be the scope of this. is this isolated to president trump's administration? surely all of these people coming in are not unaware of what is supposed to be happening, what the parameters are of what is ethical and what is not. has this happened in past administrations? >> no. i don't think we've ever seen anything like this, the

widespread abuse of position by so many high-ranking officials. it perplexes me as to why the white house can't figure out why this is happening. i warned them in a speech prior to his inauguration that if the president doesn't follow ethics rules, he's going to set a bad tone from the top. and that's going to trickle down to his cabinet. we just saw the reporting that the president is down there golfing away again. he spent about one-fourth of his time in office golfing at one of his properties. every one of these trips costs millions because of the security and the entourage he has to bring with him and the expensive equipment and the air force one. and so i'm baffled as to why the white house can't figure out what the cabinet is not going to hold itself to a higher standard than their boss. but this president seems determined to hold himself to a lower standard to the people who work for him and chastise them

for following in his footsteps. >> thank you very much. appreciate your insight as always, walter. coming up, a new report finds the white house office responsible for vetting president trump's appointees is severely understaffed and inexperienced. also, president trump says it's time for the u.s. to get out of syria. so what would that mean when it comes to russia? also, a former krcambridge analytica tells cnn that white house chief strategist steve bannon wanted data to wage a culture war on america. does this map show the peninsula trail? you won't find that on a map. i'll take you there. take this left. if you listen real hard you can hear the whales. oop. you hear that?

19 minutes after the hour. epa administrator scott pruitt is facing heavy credit sim for renting an apartment -- criticism for renting an apartment in washington, d.c., from the family of an energy lobbyist. the move creating yet another headache for a chaotic white house looking to move past

controversy. a new report by the "washington post" finds the white house office responsible for recruiting and vetting the president's appointees is severely understaffed and inexperienced. here with me to discuss, cnn political commentator errol lewis and breaking news reporter for the "washington examiner" melissa quinn. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> let's begin with the reporting on the epa administrator, mr. pruitt. we know the president does not like these headlines, melissa. do you expect that pruitt will last long with the drumbeat of these conversations? >> that's the question. all eyes are on the white house to see how president trump will react. we know from previous experiences when cabinet secretaries like secretary shulkin and ben carson have been swept up in these controversies regarding their thing, travel -- their spending and travel decisions, the white house has a cabinet and enter the secretary's name here. sometimes in the past that

ultimately has not lent well to their future in the administration. i'm sure that sarah sanders is going to be facing a lot of questions from the white house press corps in terms of what president trump wants to do with administrator pruitt and whether he does still have confidence in him. i'm sure all eyes will be on the president to see how he reacts. >> it's the comment about having confidence in his or unsolicited "he's a good man" coming on a friday. you know that's ominous for potentially what's coming. >> errol, the president has to get mike pompeo confirmed at state. he has to get ronny jackson confirm at the veterans affairs department. politically, is there space in the timeline, can the president also take the weight of now having -- finding someone else at the epa? >> well, as long as you're doing a cabinet shuffle, the problems that are going on in your cabinet can maybe be resolved. and that's not really good news in this case because you've got somebody who is generating bad

headlines. we know one of the fastest ways to find your way into the bad graces of the president is to show up on television and cast the administration in a negative light. in this particular case, it's -- there's almost no way around making the trump administration look awful because whether yew an establishment republican who -- those folks don't like to see money wasted, or you're part of the outsiders who promise to come in and drain the swamp, either way you've got a lot of swamp-like behavior going on here where there's a cozy relationship apparently between the cabinet secretary and a bunch of lobbyists and public money is being sort of wasted along the way. it's not good hanes -- good headlines, and while the shuffle is going on, we've seen that one thing this president is good at is firing people abruptly, without warning, on twitter. and for what could seem like sort of a whim. but really sort of a building problem for this administration in this case. >> errol, let me stay with you for this question about the

"washington post" investigation about the office, presidential personnel office. the job is to recruit and vet the thousands literally of presidential appointees, more than 1,200 have to be senate confirmed. the "post" through their investigation described it as something of a social hub where young staffers from throughout the administration stopped by to hang out on couches and smoke electronic cigarettes. most of the people here, according to their assessment, in their 20s. they go on to say that in january they played a drinking game in the office called icing to celebrate the deputy director's 30th birthday. icing involves hiding a bottle of smirnoff ice which is a flavored malt liquor, the "post" points out, and demanding that the person who discovers it, in this case the deputy director, guzzles it. this can't be the way this office is supposed to work. >> well, no, i guess not. although it's interesting -- i smile as you're reading this because i'm thinking back a good

30 odd years, when i was in my 20s, and would see people around capitol hill where the life of young staffers in washington is really -- just doesn't change year to year. you're always looking for a reception to go to so you can get a little food and call it a meal. you're bunking up with other people. the social life is quite active. it's the glue that holds a lot of this together. with the "washington post" expose, what it indicates seriously is that these folks are in way over their heads. this is really serious business to staff an administration. and coming in as outsiders and saying we're going to do it differently, getting rid of the 100 odd member office that was recommended by chris christie who does know something about government was just a huge, huge mistake. and this embarrassment was something that was not only predictable but was, in fact, predicted. >> melissa, the "post" describes the director and deputy director respectively as a college dropout with arrests for drunk

driving and bad checks and a marine corps reservist with arrests for assault, disorderly conduct, fleeing an order and underage drinking. the without deputy press secretary raj shah said that the presidential personnel office is filling the administration with the best and brightest appointees who share the president's vision for the country, staff work tirelessly and have experience consistent with the practice in previous administrations. the "post" reporting is that they do not. you'll remember the president several months ago when questioned about why there were not the embassy positions, the ambassadors, the diplomats across the world, why those weren't being filled, he said that he was saving the government money. is there in some way potentially that this is intentional? >> i think that may be a little bit of a stretch. i think that this may be a good -- and a good instance in this case where we could potentially see the president'swords come back to haunt him. he has said before that he recruits the best and the

brightest for these positions. and i think that this expose from the "washington post" about the presidential personnel office really sheds a lot of light into what we have seen in this administration in terms of the number of administration posts that have been left vacant including a number that requires senate confirmation, and at the end of the day, it is the white house as much as they want to blame democrats for slowing down the process, the white house is the one who was nominating these people. while we did see a ramp-up after the president's comments regarding those ambassadorships, we sort of have seen a little bit of a slowdown in recent weeks. i think a lot of people are going to be pointing to this story and the dysfunction that -- within the office that was highlighted by the story as perhaps a good reason for that. >> yeah. the chaos no one wants. i asked the question about if this is intentional because the white house acknowledged to the "post," this is a quote, that the staff is much smaller, the ppo, than at any time in recent history. that admission questions why.

all right. errol lewis, melissa quinn. thank you very much. >> thank you. u.s. officials tell cnn that they're concerned about a power vacuum if the u.s. pulls out of syria. if the u.s. does move on as president trump says will happen soon. who wins in that regards? also, the u.s. versus russia, both sides kicking out diplomats, as victor was talking about. now russia is testing missiles and threatening to sue the u.s. an expectation to surpass. burden. but that's the point. ♪ bring us doubt, and we'll bring you the first car with true hands free driving for the freeway. bring us a challenge, and we'll reinvent what it means to own a car. ♪ bring us all your expectations, and we'll defy them. again, and again, and again. washed out, sometimes. washed up? never.

close, being embedded with russian forces in syria. matt, the implications for this battle without the u.s. there? >> reporter: well, from a russian point of view, that -- i think you're right, it would be a major geopolitical success for them. they, of course, back, moscow backs bashar al assad, the syrian president. they've made it clear they believe he's the rightful leader of syria. and they've used their considerable air power to -- to bomb the opposition parties, opposition groups, that have fought against bashar al assad including isis, but including other more moderate rebels, as well. and they've succeeded in not just bolstering him, preventing him from collapsing, but also from getting into re-established syrian government control across the country. if the united states were to pull out as president trump has indicated they might soon, then

that would be, you know, obviously a big boon for the russians. that means that bashar al assad backed by the russians and, of course, by the iranians, would be able to have a free hand to take what territory they wanted in syria. so yes, in short, i think it would be a major victory for the russians if the u.s. were to pull out of syria. >> okay, when we see this back and forth, kicking diplomats out or kicking your diplomats out back and forth, does the expulsion of diplomats actually hurt putin in any way? and what dee -- what happen do you foresee happening? >> reporter: well, i think it leaves vladimir putin's russia isolated diplomatically. there were 149 russian diplomats kicked out of various countries, 60 from the united states just last week in response to the poisoning of sergei and yulia skripal allegedly by a russian nerve agent in salisbury and england. that's the largest number of

russian diplomats that have been expelled ever, certainly since the end of the cold war. and so it's a major act of western unity in the face of what is generally believed to be confrontational russian behavior. the poisoning is only one example of that. the big question is is it going to be enough to change russia's behavior, or is it just going to antagonize russia to enter into more confrontation with the west? we just don't have the answers yet. >> matthew chance for us in moscow. thank you very much. meanwhile, russian president vladimir putin is putting other countries on warning claiming no defense systems can withstand his newest missile. russia released video of a test launch of that missile yesterday. thooe here it is. the intercontinental ballistic missile is nicknamed the "sat an 2." while it sounds alarming, i know, nato comes up with the names. no word on how the russian missile would withstand the american counterparts.

deadly protests in gaza there that are forcing palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas to declare today a day of mourning. you're looking at the scene of the gaza israel border. at least 17 were killed in clashes with troops. more than 1,000 injured. troops fired live rounds, rubber bullets, and teargas. >> this was the first of what are expected to be weeks of protests called the march for return. the palestinians demanding they be allowed to return to land that is now part of israel. >> cnn's ian lee is in gaza right now joining us. so what is the situation there this morning? have you been seeing anything like what we saw yesterday? >> reporter: it's a bit consumer this morning than -- calmer this

morning than yesterday. yesterday was the deadliest, bloodiest day in gaza since the 2014 war. at one point we were close to the front lines, and there were so many casualties coming in, there weren't enough ambulances. they were putting two to three people per ambulance. some people had to wait for a ride to the hospital. the organizers started saying they wanted to be peaceful. from everything we saw on the front, the most we saw from palestinians with slingshots and rocks. but the israeli military says that hamas and other militant groups did file projectiles across the border including live fire. they say there were molotov cocktails also thrown at them. let me kind of show you what really this is all centered around. behind me, you see one of the camps where people are staying. behind them is a fence. that is the border, and behind that fence is a dirt berm. that's where the israeli soldiers are positioned.

israel says that they're not going to allow anyone to cross over the border, breach that border. they say they're ready to use deadly force. they say they have snipers all up and down this. when we were talking to palestinians, they say that that's their goal. their goal is to breach that border to get to the other side. this is making a mixture of a very tense situation. and as we saw, a very deadly situation. and these protests are expected to go on for the next six weeks. >> we'll continue to watch that for the next several weeks. thank you very much. listen, still to come, a former cambridge analytica employee tells cnn former white house chief strategist steve bannon wanted to wage a culture reward on america. does this map show the
