look forward to our summit. jim shuuto, it looks like that summit is going to take place. we don't know where, but it looks like it's going to take place. >> big world. we're going to stay op top of this. in the meantime, our special coverage continues here on cnn. "outfront" next, braeaking news. kim jong-un to suspend nuclear and missile tests. also, "the washington post" reporting jeff sessions says made it clear. if rod rosenstein is fired, he's gone, too. plus, newly uncovered audio of trump pretending to be his own publicist. you're going to hear from reporter. let's go "outfront." a good ooemevening. the breaking news. stunning news at this hour. surprising leaders around the world. north korea announcing the it will stop conducting nuclear tests and launches of

interkontinenal ballistic missiles. a source saying kim jong-un realizes the best path forward is to open up the country. the source adding that kim believes he is finally being recognized by the international community and president trump has just tweeted in response to this, quote, north korea has agreed to suspend all nuclear tests and close up a major test site. this is good news for the korea and the world. look forward to our summit. now, this announcement is coming just as the administration is finalizing plans for the summit, for the president to meet face-to-face with kim jong-un. that meeting is set to take place by next month and you know, here we are. it's april 20th. it also follows mike pompeo's secret visit to north korea this month for preliminary talks with kim. barbara starr is "outfront" at the pentagon and barbara, it is pretty stunning that the

reporting here that kim jong-un has decided the best path forward for north korea is to normalize relations and open up. this is a surprise on so many levels. >> it is. it's fair to say here at the pentagon, officials are cautious and watching, but tonight, u.s. satellites, aircraft, missile defenses and 28,000 troops remain on the korean peninsula watching very carefully. did you not expect to see the u.s. psimply back away from its effort to keep an eye on north korea, to depend south korea and japan. the real question is why is doing this. u.s. military intelligence will tell you he is feeling the pressure of economic sanctions. but opening up his country is off one big por worry, how to survive, how to keep himself in power in his regime in power. the u.s. intelligence community continues to believe at least now kim very much driven by his

own survival. so we'll have to see how all of this plays out. perhaps most interesting today at the pentagon, the japanese defense minister was hear and said that he thought the recent missile strike in syria also was a message that perhaps the north koreans heard about the ability of u.s. military power to get into air space of its enemies and enact a military action. if kim heard that, it may play a role in his decision making. >> could be the single biggest su successful take away of what happened in syria. if that's true, that's stunning. of course, it comes before president trump has even had this meeting with kim jong-un. the meeting that's supposed to happen in the next few weeks and of course, the president just days ago vowed to walk out of a meeting if the talks were not fruitful. jeff is with the president this west palm beef, florida. jeff, what are we hearing from the white house.

seems in change for nothing. the president obviously extremely happy about this tonight. >> erin, no question. the white house views this as good news. in fact, the president saying that himself a few moments ago on social media. on twitter, he said i look forward to the summit. again, hailing this news as good news. so that is the early reaction we are getting from white house officials. but erin, if you take stock of the president's tone in his tweet this evening versus really only a few months ago when he was essentially mocking kim jong-un as rocket man. he was belittling him. now fast forward to this. it seems to me that there's no question there has been sort of a cautious optimism when you talk to white house officials. will this summit actually happen? it is looking more and more like it will. of course many hurdles up to that point. where will it be held? exactly what the agenda will be. will he agree to, will kim agree to denuclearize the peninsula.

there's no question that the president and white house believe they are on solid footing here and there seems to be good reason for that. this was a central focus of con ver sags here this week when the president now with japanese prime minister abe here in florida. so, there's early optimism, the question though when they sit down face-to-face, can he broker this deal. certainly the highest stakes gamble of his presidency. >> it certainly will be and if successful, huge achievement for this president. jeff, thank you. "outfront" now, former cia intelligence office, david preece and lieutenant general mark hurtling. a big announcement for north korea tonight. how significant is it to you? >> you used the right word earlier, erin, when you said stunning. this is a significant development. i would be more measured right

now to see what happens next. a little bit of calm. if it does play out and there's the possible ility that it will because there's been a lot of movement. you know, the president's been with the prime minister of japan. kim jong-un has been with the president of china. there's been a lot of discussion about this. a lot of influencers. one of the things we haven't talked about is people are talking about kju's influence by the missile strike in syria. is the fact that his economy is in tatters. so i think that's persuading him to perhaps do some things now that he hasn't done in the past and the fact that he does have a missile program. for the first time in a long time, he has missiles and potential atomic weapons at work so he can deal more as we've talked about before, from a position of strength. so i think there's a lot of factors that are coming together in this very interesting inflection point that's occurring right now. >> david, what do you read into this? obviously, announcing they're going to stop tests, it's

significant. they haven't done tests in the past few weeks. who knows if they're about to do one. but do you believe this a huge breakthrough or are you skeptical? >> i was trained as an intelligence officer. trust but verify. and this case, we don't even have the trust. we don't have the relationship built up with the north koreans to trust what he says. he's announced this to the north korean people. that is big. that is unusual, but what's he announced? he's walking back something he wasn't doing frequently until 2016 and 2017. there were tests every three years or so. it's only recently those have stepped up. now he's saying i'm not going to do that. which i wasn't doing a few years ago at this pace. we really need to see what he's willing to do to step up and get the economic relief he so needs in his country. >> and to get the verification because when you say trust but verify, you think about iran which the president so resoundingly criticizes. not even using a strong enough word. but you could be in a similar

position here at the end of this, how are you going to verify. >> general, what do you make of this when it comes to what you haed into kim jong-un? even recently, we had this administration, pompeo, i'm not worried about regime change. we know that the united states wants to get rid of him, but to get a deal done, they have to say we're going to back this guy who's murdered hurricanndredses thousands of his own people and stay in power. that's the way it's going to be? >> i'm with david on this. being skeptical, we've got to take a more measured tone. shouldn't get too excited. we have to look at the recent history. this is not a good guy. i mean, he has killed people with chemical weapons and par airports. he has journalists. some of our citizens in jail. we have to let this percolate and develop. i don't think we should be rushing into this as fast as

some people are doing. it's exciting new, there's a whole lot of tit for tatt on ths one. >> as hard as it is to get inside the president's head, donald trump's hetd, it's even hard tore get inside kim jong-un's head. we don't know how seriously the status of north korea is effecting him. to me, the big, big question mark here is how far is he willing to go once he realizes the consequences of opening up north korea, letting in investment, goods and ideas? that's a road he's seen before. libya decided to give up its weapons of mass destruction and what happened? the west ended up undermining kai gafgadhafiy any way. >> right because that's reality. everybody b knows regime change is the ultimate u goal here of pretty much everybody maybe but kim jong-un. maybe china, maybecluding the

united states. they could say it's not the focus, but is everybody going to believe it? >> well, you know, there's going to be trust and verification on both sides. and i think you're exactly right. there's a lot that goes into this. i'm an old guy. i was on the border between east and west germany when the wall came down and it staggered everybody then in 1989. this seems to be one of those things where a lot of, there's a lot of stuff happening right now. in '89, hit was a lot different scenario. i'm not sure we can quite yet trust kim jong-un to do what he says he's about to do. he's under a lot of pressure. but he also i think is very worried about some of the things he's seen within the last couple of months. >> we've all been to that border, just the moment of being there. but to imagine ooen the glirm of possibility of unifying the koreas in our lifetime is something many of us didn't think we'd even be talking about. whether with skepticism or not. thank you both so much.

i appreciate your time. next, breaking news, jeff sessions court reportedly warning the white house if trump fired rod rosenstein, sessionings could be gone, too. the breaking news ahead and a bold prediction from michael cohen's attorney as we learn more about what the president really thinks about and how he treats cohen. plus, donald trump apparently caught on tape acting as his own publicist. >> what's your first name? >> the reporter who took that call is my guest. i just need some rest. i'm just worried about the house. and taking care of the boys.

attorney general was not trying to threaten the white house per se. but just to make clear, that if the president fired his deputy, who he helped select, that his position would become untenable. make an enormous amount of public pressure grow on the attorney general b and that he might have to leave his post were that to happen. >> so it's not a threat of quitting, it's a i might be forced to do this because of external circumstances. is that what you're hearing? >> right. or that he might feel forced to do so. that set of circumstances might cause him to feel compelled that he had to leave. i think it was a way of conveying that he thought this was a very bad idea. and i think the president has come to realize if he were to fire mueller, he would be inviting sort of a chaotic moment if he were to fire this special counsel. what this shows is really rod rosenstein's position has become

such that the same would occur were he to fire rod rosenstein. that's not a politically easier move for the president. were he to do that. he may well lose his toernlg and a series of other important staff members in both department of justice and potentially the white house as well. >> the constitutional crisis. >> roslyn for "the washington post." breaking the story tonight. harry sandic, former attorney in the southern u district of new york along with laura coates and former federal prosecutor. jeff sessionings trying to thread the needle here, i would probably leave maybe because i was forced to do so as opposed i was threatening to quit, but making his position very clear. >> that's right. he's been a very effective attorney general in terms of advancing the types of things that donald trump talked about in the campaign.

at the same time, there are certain things he's not going to do. we've seen that as the mueller investigation as unfolded. he recused himself and he doesn't want to see the deputy attorney general good in his job, forced to leave for doing his job. >> why do you think sessions is as roslyn is reporting, just on call with the white house, but this is leaking out for a reason. because sessions or someone close to sessions wanted everyone to know where he sta stands. >> i think this is a power move really by receive jegses to support rosenstein. remember, trump himself, the president trump himself has been attacking rod rosenstein. a lot of people in the right wing media have been attacking him it would be a problem for

donald trump if he fired jeff sessions. i think that's been made cloear to him. if there's impeachment, the jury is the united states senate. so if you are on trump's league team or giving you advice, you're going to say be careful about firing jeff sessions or trying mess with jeff sessions. >> yet laura, the president has made his disdain for swref sessions and i don't think there's another word for it. very well-known. here's some of what he said. >> he should have never recused himself and if he was going to, he should have told me before he took the job and i would pick someone else. >> very disappointed with attorney general. but we will see what happens. time will tell. time will tell. >> that's tame compared with his tweets. is this almost what he wants, somehow jeff sessions to just say, get rid of himself? >> it's not much of a threat for

him to say he goes, i go. the president of the united states wanted you to go. it's almost a blessing in disguise for the president. but remember, there's been a fissionuation and asunlgs that the department of justice has been solely focusing on the russia collusion investigation. the dea, the atf, he oversees the bureau of prisons, the day-to-day operations, the idea he would be somebody who's been pivotal in cybersecurity and fo pharmaceutical companies. in that respect, it would throw the doj into chaos and undermine the crede bability of jeff sessions to control this very powerful agency. >> this is coming as we have another legal battle opening up for the president. okay. the dnc is basically they're suing. suing the trump campaign. and russian government. accusing them of collusion. now the president just tweeted

about this. he says just heard the campaign was sued by obstructionist democrats. this can be good news in that we will counter for the dnc server. of course, it's debbie wasserman schultz, but whatever. i guess i say that sort of laughingly, but here's the thing. that, the lawsuit here is conspireing in the 201 election. and you know, you got jed in it. manafort named in it. obviously trump's dismising it. this happened back during nixon. dc suing over the break in to watergate. he won it on the day nixon left office. >> this lawsuit is a good idea by the dnc. i think what it does in part is it creates a back up plan.

it would involve -- >> which makes it -- you can dismiss this as political, sure, but whether you want to do it or not, the point is, it's worked bf. >> absolutely and one thing we know because the support decided this issue in jones versus clinton is the president is not immune from a civil lawsuit when he's in office. all of his associates don't have immunity. but as long as they can get back those legal hurdles, there's going to be discovery, depositions under oath, documents and e-mails and all the things exchanged that could be a real problem for his associates. >> i would like everyone to know an admission of error, he has corrected his tweet from wendy to debbie. has happened. hey, there's a first for everything, everyone. >> your reaction, not to that. that's breaking news. >> that is breaking news.

it is and part of the admissions of guilty not from trump u, but we're in the right direction really, it's similar to what mueller did. same jeurys diction issues here apply when you talk about suing a foreign government. what they're doing is a fail safe approach. a response to the republicans who were a part of the house intel committee who said we have only a hands off approach. we're not going to do anything about it in anticipation of the midterm elections. they are trying to ensure this issue stays positioned and to remind people it's similar to watergat whgate what the power the dnc trying to force the hand of people trying to do the right thing. >> next, michael cohen's attorney warning the president's

fixer could be indicted and soon. could that cause cohen to turn? plus, new audio tonight from a reporter who claims donald trump was massac-- to both abou he is. >> i'd like to talk to you off the record just to make it easier. >> the reporter who recording the call goes on the record with his real name. next.

comcast, building america's largest gig-speed network. tonight, a frame from michael cohen says he could be indicted. this as there are growing xwes as to whether cohen, who is a fierce trump loyalist, would ever turn on the president if there was a crime. the "new york times" reports tonight that trump's legal team has resigned to that happening, detailing the bad treatment cohen has endure d from presidet trump. roger stone saying quote, donald goes out of his way to treat him like garbage. "outfront" now, national affairs correspondent, joan walsh and senior advise for the trump campaign. joan, start with you. roger stone with that comment.

he goes out of his way to treat him like garbage. does that have an effect on michael cohen? he's a guy, he always quote, unquote, knew his place and it was okay as long as it came to the president. >> i didn't think anything would make me feel sor. >> reporter:ry for him, but tat same time, if he's saying i would take a bullet for this guy and telling us he's the best and brightest and loyalist and this and that, i don't know that anything in that story indicates that he will turn. i think other things might. you talk to jay goldberg night who indicated michael cohen has a fear of prison. won't go into the gory details of that. i don't know if this comment changed anything. he's been treated badly for a

long time. not sure what's changed except the possibility of prison. >> michael cohen has been telling people he's loyal to the president. he said that as recently as today. loyal, loyal, loyal. >> i think he's a wonderful man. he's a tremendous unifier. he's man of great intellect, tuition and abilities. >> could personal feelings outweigh the loyalty, jason? >> i think someone's always going to deal with what's in their own best interest. i think jay's advice was spot on as far as what he said to the president. however, i disagree with mr. goldberg as that's not the kand of thing you should be going to the "wall street journal" to say because here's the facts. is that yes, mueller in his investigation clearly found something that was a problem b for mr. cohn and so he kicks that up u to rod rosenstein who

decides whatever it is the that found was outside the scope of this veinvestigation regarding this so-called collusion and coordination of some foreign country. so they kicked it to the southern district of new york. >> which by the way, they have dove tails here. they've been looking into something for months. >> if you talk to any sharp legal person out there, they say most likely, mr. cohen had some problems he's facing probably on the business side, but there's nothing yet that connects him in any way, shape or form to the president. so before we start treating this like a legal choose your own adventure book where no matter which ending you turn to, it's bad news for the president. we have to acknowledge the fact that as of right now, michael cohn has michael cohen problems. >> the president is an leaptic about this. one of the reasons i understand is because he doesn't know what's there and there could be. that is one reason.

they have everything and there could be something. when i talked to him last night, he made this point about the length in prison term and said that would be enough to make cohen turn. not flip. here he is. >> they don't see michael as taking pressure or a fall for somebody else. and if the government requires a certain kind of cooperation or gives out a hint as to what could be necessary. >> so accused of weak character basically? >> i do think so. >> most anyone would flip on anyone else who quitted a crime to avoid jail. i think most of us would do that. is this why he's -- >> i think so. jason is right. this was referred here because it was outside of the scope of

the mueller investigation. but the thipg about michael cohen is he for reasons i don't understand. he has had ties to the russian mob since childhood. childhood friends. his uncle owned a clubhouse, it was russian mob clubhouse in brooklyn. until recently. i believe michael cohen owned a share. he's been investigated for his medallion scandals. once you get to looking around in his business and his e-mails and voice mails and all the paperwork you could make the leap. i'm not ready to make it, but i can understand why the president is nervous. sxwl the other thing, t"the new york times" report, his abusive behavior is animated by the

feeling michael is inadequate. it appears cohen could have upper hand over the president of the united states. he's the one who has the ability, maybe, to flip on him. >> people are always going to look out for their own, but this goes to the fact this is why it's important that mayor giuliani and marty have been brought on to the legal team because it's essential the president's legal team figures out what is there and makes sure there's a strong defense around the president so get this all wrapped up and get this revolved. i think that's been lacking a bit in the past. with these new addition, i think the president's in much better position! you've got a criminal investigation into fwi who worked with the president. who knows what personal matters. for a dozen years. >> and next, says donald trump

called him with a totally fake name to lie. guess how rich donald trump is. there are the tapes and you'll hear them, next. plus, women running for office at record breaking rates. many doing it they say because of trump. >> i am the citizen, pediatrician, activist mom with a fire in her belly. >> that is a resume. our special series is next. >> vo: they're getting more out of life by starting with miracle-gro potting mix and plant food. together, guaranteed to produce three times the harvest. more to enjoy... to share. three times the harvest. one powerful guarantee. miracle-gro. alright, i brought in high protein to help get us moving. ...and help you feel more strength and energy in just two weeks! i'll take that. -yeeeeeah! ensure high protein. with 16 grams of protein and 4 grams of sugar. ensure. always be you. your company is and the decisions you make have far reaching implications.

new tonight, a former forbes reporter claiming donald trump lied to get on the forbes 400 list posing a a quite named john baron to claim he was worth a lot r more. that reporter is my guest. he'll be with me in a moment, but this would not be the first time trump has done this. we're "outfront" with more on trump's art of deception. >> what's your first name? >> john. >> one of the name's president trump has been accused of using to leak information to reporters about himself. >> he's an excellent guy and they're very close, their relationship, very close as you've heard or know or perhaps you u don't know. >> in this call in 1984, he is claiming the assets of trump's wealthy father, fred, are in fact donald's. >> when you say it's 90% --

>> i say in excess of 90%. really closer to even the ultimate, but in excess of 90%, yes. >> so he insists trump deserves a higher spot on the forbes 400 list. >> it's been well consolidated. that's one point that you can -- >> now is that just the residence? >> yes, everything's been consolidated basically now and over the last couple of year, they've been working on it. >> trump was in regular contact with jonathan greenberg arguing he was wealthier than others. >> he mentioned other names and there's no contest. no contest. >> forbes didn't take trump at his word and listed him at $100 million. far lower than what he claimed. gr greenberg says later research showed he was worth under $5 million and didn't come close to belonging on the list. trump has long denied he was john barron or john miller. who would call gossip

columnists. >> you think that sounded like me? >> over the year, i've used aliases! wh ? >> i useded the name barron. >> there it is. not just a name for aalias, but naming his youngest child. those were from the 1980s, but if you fos warford to to presidential campaign, he's claiming he's worth $10 billion. we have not seen his tax returns. so we have reached out to the white house. they didn't respond. also the trump organization, they didn't want to comment. sfwl so it does sound like he's the one who picked the name, barron. now to jonathan. you know, when we hear on that tape, first of all, it's the sentence structure, the cadence, word choice that makes it clear it's donald trump, but alex played donald trump at that time and john barron and you could hear that while the president's voice now may have changed a little bit in how deep it is,

those two voices are the same. so you decided to go back and li b b to these tapes. why are you releasing them now? >> i didn't go back and listen to them until really recently because i didn't realize i had them. i went back to list ben to tapes of the fobs forbes 400 b and i saw the name, vp of finance truch organization, john barron. i said holy cow, what's in these. when i listened and transcribed them and researched what had been done to date, i realized that it really was an orchestrated multiyear deception that john barr sort on sort of out over three years thatd out false narrative that he was worth far more than money. >> he was successful at this. i want to play another clip of trump. john barron, in this case, talk

u tog y ing to you, jonathan. >> most of the assets have been consolidated to mr. trump. i'd like to talk to you off the record if i can. >> okay, sure. that's fine. >> you know, the okays. anyone listening of course it's now very familiar. but look, we listen to it now. that all makes sense, but at the time, you were talking to this dude again and again and you didn't think it was trump. did now not think anybody would do what he was attempting to do here? >> no one could imagine in the media a donald trump. we were doing the forbes 344-00. it started it in '82. '84, i got a call from his xwek executi executive assistant saying donald wants john barron to speak and i got this call.

the idea that someone would impersonate themselves, i hasn't met with him for a year. it just never occurred to anyone to do this. donald trump as you know, as much as anomaly. he is a consummate con man and the way he conned the media about business, including mee i that's how he's conned the media about politics. >> talking about this, feels like you're talking about split personalities here. donald trump, going by donald trump, regularly also brags about what he claims he's worth. >> forbes says 2.7 billion. i can tell you that's a very low number. it's much more than that. >> i built $9 billion worth of net worth. started off with $1 million and now i'm worth over $10 billion. >> i'm really rich. >> why do you think he has a need to constantly tell people this. >> this because i don't think he's nearly as successful as he is. and i think it's the smoke and

mirrors. the con game is so deep and it's, his deception is so deep that in 1982, he had me totally change the guide post, erin. this is interest iing from a journalistic perspective. i went in there thinking is he on the forbes 400 or not and he was like, i'm not only on it, i'm at the very top of the list. so then i was like, where did we put him? he shouldn't have been on it at all because he was worth a subsequent documentation at that time. >> nobody guessed at the time he would have done this. one more exchange. during the campaign. he's still doing the same thing. i talked to him, he was donald trump. here he is. >> force estimates your wealth at $4.1 billion. i have your sheet, the one you released last week. that puts the number more than

double that. $8.7 billion. are you going to release all the back up data to prove your number? >> yeah, i have to release tremendous amounts of information. i don't know what it is, but it doesn't matter because frankly, i'm worth a tremendous amount. forbes doesn't know it. they're very nice people, but they don't know what i have. whether it's 4.1 or ten or more than ten, doesn't matter. >> of course it does matter to him. he never released those tremendous amounts of information he promised me. why. >> well, i love that quote. if it's four or ten, it doesn't matter. what if it's $400 million? the cut off for the forbes 400 was 2 billion. he wouldn't have been on the list at all. that would have been very big news. we believe a lot of us in the journeyist community the reason he's not revealing his taxes is people base the assessment of his net worth on a sort of cash b flow basis.

this is how much these buildings produce and they would be sold on the basis of how much profits they make. and if he release d his income statement and you know, his taxes, it would show here's his debt service and here's his positive cash flow. and they would say, well, look at all this. and it's not going to be the type of cash flow that justifies a 4 billion or a $10 billion you know, valuation. >> all right. thank you very much. i appreciate it. and next, a record number of women running for office this year. >> really having a misogynist in chief, having a president who grabs women's bodies and has been disrespectful all the way through to women, that drives us. >> they're motivated and also tonight, mourners lining up to pay their respects to the former first lady, barbara bush. we'll go to the touching tribute. e match all the cash bak new cardmembers earn at the end of their first year, automatically. whoo! i got my money! hard to contain yourself, isn't it?
