so proud of you and happy. keep it up. look forward to the movie. >> just want a cameo. >> maybe. if there's something in there. >> thank you. >> all right, that's it for me. thanks for watching. i'm wolf blitzer in "the situation room." erin burnett "outfront" starts right now. >> "outfront" next, breaking news. north korea threatening to cancel the trump kim summit. the white house caught off guard. plus, wimping out. republicans say they're unhappy with trump about his treatment of john mccain and his tweets about saving jobs at chinese phone company. so why didn't any of them say it to his face today? and as the president rails against media, there's one anchor who is getting unprecedented access and his name is not sean hannity. let's go "outfront." good evening. i'm erin burnett. tonight, the breaking news. a bombshell noum catching the white house off guard. north korea taking the the white house completely by surprise

with a sudden warning that next month's trump kim summit is in jeopardy. the reason joint military drills between the u.s. and south korea which have just begun. north korean state tv refer iri to the drills as quote provocative military disturba e disturbanc disturbances, north korea suspended high level talks with south korea which were scheduled to begin hours from now. so this is real and the white house caught flat foot ed releasing a statement this ooempk which says quote, we are aware of the south korean media report. the united states h look at what north korea has said independently and con to coordinate closely with our allies. in other words, they have no idea what the heck is going on. the president himself silent. no tweets. and here's his response when reporters asked him about the breaking news late today. >> what about the summit, mr. president? >> will you still meet with him?

>> no response at all. >> clearly, the united states does not know what's going on here. part of the issue is that these military drill that is we're talking about are routine. they were known to the north koreans for months. the u.s. and south korea actually announced this round which happens annually in march. and when the south koreans came to washington, remember, and said trump and kim were going to have this unbelievable summit, they stood outside the white house and explicitly said that north korea's kim jong-un was aware of and okay with this specific set of drills. >> he understands that's the routine joint military exercises. the republic of korea and the united states must continue. >> emp picked up on that line at the time. it was incredibly significant. kim was okay with it. he understood that the joint drills, which he said were provocative, were okay and would continue, so in march, he was okay with it and then he met with mike pompeo twice since

then. released three american hodges just days ago, so what has changed in this is not what president trump expected. he's tweeteded nearly two dozen teams since march about the summit and the progress he's made with kim. he's talked about winning a noble prize. he expected to be the one deciding whether to walk out. >> if the meeting is not fruitful, i will respectfully leave the meeting. it's not going to be fair and reasonable and good, i will unlike past administrations, i will leave the table. if it's not a success, i will respectfully leave. it's very simple. >> well, a person threatening to leave tonight, not trump. kim. jeff is "outfront" at the white house and jeff, look, the president, the white house clearly caught off guard a. no question about that. how concerned are they that kim may go ahead with this?

>> they aren't sure. not just the white house is caught off guard. the state department, pentagon as well, did not see this coming. but it was less than a week as president trump was standing on the tarmac at joint base andrews. i was watching him. he said he believes kim jong-un is serious about this because he wants to enter into the real world. that was part of this sort of crescendo of expectations that f you will, that have been building for since march 8th or so. the president came out u and said he wanted to do this. but at this hour, this evening, they don't know. they're trying to hold their powder. they're trying to have direct conversations. the president who is going to likely figure this out or broker this is the secretary of state. he's the only american who has sat fate to faface ta face with jong-il on. he and others are going through this. trying to not just base their information on his reports. but the reality is that's where the president learned this. from news reports. so at this point, a white house

official says they are still planning on the sult. it's supposed to happen june 12th. that's just around the corner here. they'd be lying if they said they knew it was going to happen. >> thank you very much. the north koreans often use the right to state media to say what they want to say, but it's a sign of disrespect to do that instead of communicating directly with someone you're b about to have a summit with. kernel layton joins me now along with gene lee for the associated press. she is now director for the center for the korean and public policy at the wilson stir. carl, rhett me start with you. why is kim jong-un threatening this right after be clear, couldn't have been more clear. he was okay with these drills. i think we're seeing the change in tactics. there are several factors. one would be that he is ba

basically playing hard to get in the typical north korean way of doing this. they've done this before. many, many times. the previous agreements that we've had with them have been broken. previous meetings that have been scheduled with them have been, not taken place. this looked different and we've gotten very far this this set of things. but there's another possibility. and that is that there's a different set of people orchestrated things in the background in pyongyang and maybe they're saying this is the time to do something different and catch the united states off guard. >> they succeeded in that. there's no question. the u.s., the white house at least, certainly caught off guard. what do you make of that? >> i would chill out if i were them. we went from zero to 60 with the north koreans in couple of months. meeting a xwirl at a singles bar to marriage and now the bride's nervous and saying we're surprised? let me give you a different optic. that is there's a lot of

constituencies dictators have. dictators do not vulnerability. not just talking to us, it's to people in north korea to say i'm going to go into talks where we're reversing decades of policy from my father and grandfather. i'm still the tough guy. i think there's internal messaging here that we should not g b that concerneded about. let's chill out and watch this one roll. >> so, the president didn't tweet today. and was silent when reporters asked him questions. but he has been complimenting kim every chance he gets recently. you know, with great flowery prose for him. here he is. >> kim jong-un was, he really has been very open and i think very honorable from everything we're seeing. >> want to thank kim jong-un who really was excellent to these

three incredible people. >> kim jong-un, who has been very open and very straightforward so far. >> honorable. open. excellent. straightforward. he did say so far there. maybe the most operative words of all of those. but was he full? did he think this would be too e easy? >> he might be eating his words, but i think north korea is taking a page out of president's playbook by issuing contradictory statements and sewing confusion. so hopefully he understands this is something he's been doing as well and the north koreans are returning t ining that. >> he's now more unpredictable than trump. he outtrumped trump here. >> kind of like the guy in west virginia. seems that's a critical thing for the north koreans to do. it could be that they're doing that, but i think if trump is is smart, he'll go back to what he

said earlier and if he wants to make it tough on the mcens and say look, if you don't want the meet, that's fine. i've got the three americans back. i'm good to go. if you want to meet, great, the f not, that's okay. >> the president didn't tweet about it. today, nothing. right? then when reporters yelled questions, he didn't say anything. tas not his normal way. he is uncharacteristly reticent. how important is his personal response to this? >> really important. i think people in washington are going to hi this message is directed at us. if i was washington, i'd step back and say we've been at negotiation frs decades. we've seen them reverse course. this is partly north korean messaging to an internal audience to kim jong-un saying i'm not going to roll over. if i were the president, even if we delay the summit, we have an historic opportunity here. leets look tat big gain here. the potential for peace in the

korean peninsula and let this other stuff about complaints by kim jong-un roll by the wayside. i wouldn't pay that much attention to this. >> if he stays quiet. there's a big if on that. jean, the president has bragged. when you hear the noble prize being chanted, he loves that. likes to talk about it. he has bragged that he is going to do something every administration has failed to do when it comes to north korea. he cares about ta badge. here he is. >> a lot of, this should have been handled, by the way, over the last 30 years. not now. >> we will not repeat the mistake of past administrations. >> the united states has never been closer to potentially having something happen with respect to the korean peninsula. >> he wants it, jean. he wants it really badly. does he want it too much?

>> now that he's put put o out there and wants toos this, have this historic moments with kim jong-un. this is the north koreans saying let' see how badly you want it. the north koreans tlik make their foes and people across the table uncomfortable. this is what they're doing. they want to do this to strengthen their hand. >> so is there something they want him to give up or so it you know, obviously, military drills are not only the table. they never were. never have been. >> there's another way to look at this. which is to consider the possibility they are a bit nervous that the summit may not go the way they want. and not privy to what discussions the secretary of state had with kim jong-un. but they are also creating this space for a face saving way to back out if things aren't going their way. this is a huge deal for kim jong-un as well. >> thank you very much. obviously a very crucial night

as we wait to see if the president does respond personally. and next, breaking news, a federal judge refuses to dismiss paul manafort's case side wg the special counsel. this is a very significant piece of information. because he criticized them and said give me your mandate. he read it. he decided mueller could dpo ahea go ahead, plus, republican is that rights talking tough about confronting trump today. the problem is is is, they had the chance, met him face -to-fae and didn't do it. one of the senators is my guest. new details about the health of melania trump. ♪

what does this say about his sources? >> well, erin, the reason we sarted talking about this qatari investor is because of avenatti's tweets. he was trying to suggest that ahmed may have been involved in a nefarious meeting with cohen as well as with michael flynn. so what we got this afternoon is a statement from a from a sports company he owns states for the first time why he was at trump tower. the statement in part said he was at trump tower on december 12th, 2016. tlefs there in his role as head of qatar investments. now the spokesman also said that he did not meet with michael flynn and that the role, his role in these meetings was limited. and we're also told by a source that there were several meetings

that took place between the qatari delegation and trump transition fishes that day, and that michael cohen popped in. they are down playing this for the rule of that day as well. did not par sis pate in any meetings. in terms of cohen's p participation in any of the meet thags day, we have more questions. clearly than answers at this point. we don't know what briefly popped in means. we don't know if he engaged in qatari conversations with them period. we don't know what they might have discussed either. however, i do think this is just one more piece of information that sheds a little more light on cohen's conduct during the

catrump transition when we knowe was very busy trying sell his proximity to the president-elect. >> thank you very much. and "outfront" now, former assistant u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york and jeffrey toobin. home run harry, they were there for meetings. the investment fund sits the largest sovereign wealth fund on this planet. could be $200 billion. we know the kushner family, which had some real estate issues, was looking to do business with qatar. when you put that together, does this raise questions? it's some ground for further vest dwainvestigation to try to out whether happened that day has any connection to any of the other aspects of the qatari business you've mentioned and it's not clear today whether it does. should michael cohen ever become a coop u rating witness of course, there's been speculation he might be. if he was in any way present during these meetings, that

might be another way for the government to learn something more about what a actually happened. >> to try to get money, proof on tape that cohen tolt sean hannity that the trump administration had no relationship with russia. >> there's no relationship. the last time there was any activity between the trump organization, actually wasn't the trump organization. it was the miss universe pageant six years ago. >> the technical legal term. the technical term for what he's doing there is lying. >> i'm glad there's a technical legal word. >> you didn't go to law school, but i think you're familiar with that term. >> it's astonishing. i've interviewed michael cohen about his negotiations to set up

at trump tower in to 20 16. >> during the campaign. >> taurking to the kremlin. >> and here he is telling sean hannity there had be nothing since the miss universe pageant in 2013. just a lie. now what's important is why would he lie and the reason. they've been trying to down play in the trump campaign and russia. jared kushner has had trouble remembering things. it's always russia and they're always not telling the truth about it. what a prosecutor could one day argue in a case involving these lies is if there was nothing to hide, why all the lying. why would people continually distance themselves from russia

if there wasn't anything going on behind the scenes. now it could ab inadd ver tans, but given the repeated nature, it's sort of hard at this point in time to just lay it off to someone made a mistake. they got a fact wrong. >> we should point out that despite sean hannity's place in the world, it is not a crime to lie to sean hannity. a crime to lie to any journalist. >> maybe these guys should stop giving interviews to sean hannity. whether it's cohen or giuliani. guys, sometimes a friend is not your friend. okay, we have a big document here in the development here in the special counsel looking into these ties. a federal judge rejecting paul manafort's, he tried to get a case dismissed. the criminal case. judge rejecting that effort in washington. manafort said mueller is beyond his bounce. outside of his mandate. this isn't okay. judge said no. mueller can proceed. what's the significance? >> i think it's significant for two reasons.

number one, there are two cases pending against paul manafort. one in washington and one in virginia. the one in was the one where the judge made the negative comments. he will read this very detailed opinion by the judge in washington. and may well be influenced by it, bring him around the government side. it could. won't be binding because one trial judge can't bind another, but it could serve as a guide. the other thing that's interesting is when we have and tloor two scheduled trials for this summer and fall. a lot of the secrecy of the mueller investigation will be laid bare will rick gates testify and what will he be like? will there be a spillover? this will be a biggest reveal. >> the judge in virginia said i don't see what relation this has. questioning the special counsel's motive, saying what

you really care about is what information mr. manafort could give you that would reflect on mr. trump. he was clear. but this other judge is now saying no, the mandate doesn't include this. >> and judge jacques ben goes through in detail why mueller was authorized to bring these charges and i think in a cosmic sense, the most significant aspect of this trial, of this ruling, is that it really ratcheted up the pressure on paul manafort to plead guilty. he now knows he can't get out of this trial in washington. he's going to have to go to trial. will he really go to trial even in the face of his deputy? >> or try to offer cooperation. that's the big question hanging out over the, both manafort cases. the one in va ra and washington. and it was just a very bad day for him today. >> all right. thank you both very much. and next, republicans say they're really unhappy with trump about the john mccain dying joke and the chinese phone

ir remarks made last week? >> i believe so and certainly, the comments that were made, in fact they were made and no one's denied it, i find them to be offensive. >> the best way for this to be put to rest and it should have happened immediately, would have been for the white house to issue a public apology. >> okay. the other is the president's tweets about saving jobs at a chinese tech firm called zte. it's an important committee. 50 million phones sold in the united states in the past few years. a company u.s. intelligence officers could be used for espionage and it's been accused of violating u.s. sanctions. >> any of these state owned businesses by china are opportunities for them to steal intellectual party by cyber theft and to embed in our telecommunications infrastructure in a way that

raises huge national security issues. >> are you planning on addressing this issue? >> absolutely. >> still try iing the understan that. i think all of us are. so we'll have some questions i'm sure at lunch about that. >> we'll have that conversation. we'll have some conversations about that at lunch. they didn't. manu, they said they did and then didn't. what happened? did they wimp out? >> well republican after republican after this lunch told me they just ran out of time because the president talked extensively and only allowed time for two questions. one was about immigration. another about projecting unity in messaging heading into the election year. republicans didn't get a chance to ask him these questions about the mccain aide and about the concerns over this chinese firm. now after this meet, we had a chance to ask these senators why they decided not to press this

subject with trump. >> u why you choose and what -- i don't recall. >> did you talk about trade? >> i can't remember whether we discussed this issue. i don't think we did. >> no, we just had a couple of questions. >> he just covered a whole range of subjects. it was there for well over an hour. and we you know, i was on focused on the egg and others were on e inning thing is. just a litany of things we covered. that was one we didn't get to. >> and instead, this was a very jovial meeting. he would campaign everywhere. also made several jokes talk uing about melania trump's poll in your opinion, how they're higher than his and he said he told her not to run against him. in 2020. and that prompted some laughter

in the room, eastern. >> of course. even with his wife, it comes down to the polls. i want to go now to mike browns of south dakota. he was in the lunch today with president trump. sounds like he tried to filibuster you guys. let me give you the benefit of the doubt there. but just start with john mccain. why didn't the white house's apology come up today in the lunch when so many said you thought he needed to step up and it was going to come up. >> you talk about duty, honor and country, you think about john mccain. today, honesty is the best policy. we ran out of time. we were talking about other issues. the president in this case, he could have been a member of the united states senate. he was on a roll today. he had a number of issues he wanted to talk about. he touched on a number of very important issues. he taubed about where we're going with the economy. north korea. iran.

china, israel. >> didn't take a breath for anything else? >> he was on a a roll. and but he was also touching some thicks this were important to us. nafta in the midwest, we're concern ed about nafta. he got into the nafta discussions. he didn't talk about zte, but he did talk about the concerns about what they've been doing the us. it was at manu inkated, a very light hearted atmosphere and some of the issues that i think some of my colleagues talked about, we just ran out of time. >> i understand, but as you said, honor and duty and it's a serious issue when you talk b about john mccain specifically. today, you said to reporters and i quote you, i know it's probably not their style to make

apoll jai, but the vast majorit of americans say john mccain deserves our respect. that's from the top. to the bottom. if that was so important, i'm just trying to understand one or two questions. did you get intimidated? why wouldn't this come up? >> the two questions we did have time for were direct, they were specific to him about what his plans were with regard to coordinating and working with us in the future. one had to do with his timing. what he was going to do with immigration. when he was going move forward on that. the second part was we've done a lot of good things in the united states senate and in the house. we've passed a tax bill which we think has been one of the leading issues. and we talkeded about the number of circuit judges.

we've got one eighth with trump appointees. >> john mccain, again -- >> we need your help to get the message out. >> do you have any regrets that you didn't bring something up that was so important to you? >> there were hand up as quick as he could get done with one question, there was another question. but remember, he also was on a roll. did more than 45 minutes straight discussing this issues he thought was important and when you -- >> only allowed two dequestions. >> still says the office of the president will lay out the timeline. sxwl on zte. you said he brought up china trade. but heard cornyn and flake, your colleagues, they said we're going to have questions at lunch. are you planning on addressing this with him? >> didn't come up. when i asked you this, what the chinese government reportedly agreed to loan half a billion dollars to a major development in independent neonesia which i

truch hotel and golf course and three days after that, the president tweet ed about wantin to save zte. are you concerned this could be a relationship there? >> i'm not familiar with the iteming and facting surrounding that. we heard about this for the first time yesterday. so i'm not going to suggest there's anything wrong at the stage of the game, but i'll the tell you what in the united states senate and in the house, when those types of accusations are made, we do our due diligence, come back and ask the questions and there are appropriate places to do it. in this case, when he gave us the opportunity after he was completed with his message, we ran out of time. the questions that were out there were valid questions. we weren't wasting time. >> do you think he was avoiding it though? my bottom line question is he talked for 45 minutes. takes two questions then runs out of there. he didn't want to talk b about john mccain or zte. we're clear. >> right now, that's not a fair way to put this thing. the president came in. he talked about number of different issues. he laid thins out.

gave us a good insight as to what his thought process was with regard to immigration and to nafta. and his concern about china and the direction he wanted to go. he talked about north korea and the focus that he had on north korea and the critical issues and he gave us a history going back to why his logic was the way it was with regard to getting involved with north korea. he talked about iran. went into great detail with his concerns about iran, which really interest eed us because understand how critical he shared with us his conversations there. he went into real detail with us. and that takes time. so when we got all done. >> i'm sure it did. it sounds like you're making excuses considering whatd about. >> we ran out of time. >> all right. i understand. i appreciate your time. thanks so much. >> absolutely. >> next, president trump just returning to the white house just visiting his wife at the

hospital. we have new details on her condition this evening and the president shunning most repo reporters but, given one unprecedented access to the west wing. david brodey is my guest. n i tr. for leisure. so i go national, where i can choose any available upgrade in the aisle - without starting any conversations- -or paying any upcharges. what can i say? control suits me. go national. go like a pro. i think, keep going, and make a difference. at some point, we are going to be able to beat als. because life is amazing. so i am hoping for a cure.

i want this, to uh, to be a reality. um, yeah.

tonight, the first lady still in the hospital. the president spent over an hour with her at the walter reed medical center today. she's recovering from a

procedure to treat a kidney condition. president trump addressing how she's doing today. >> i want to start by say iing that melania is in the hospital doing really well. she's watching us right now u. and i want to thank the incredible doctors, walter reed medical center, they did a fantastic job. she sends her love. >> "outfront" now, the director of the comprehensive kidney cancer program at the mt. sinai health system. i appreciate your time. you know a lot about this, so when we hear these words, benign, you can sort of read between the lines in a way no one else can. we have heard the procedure usually is noninvasive, that row don't need to be in for long. maybe in and out quickly. the president said she will be b leaving the hospital if two or three days. so she's going to be in there for quite a while by the standard of saying in the hospital in america. why might she need such an

extended stay? >> it's a good question. if you think about these procedures, they're endovascular procedures. a stent is what most people will recognize. you go in, come out, if it were you or me, we'd go home. there are various reasons you might stay longer. if you have a bigger say it's a bigger lesion of the kidney, a benign lesion, you need to make sure you got it. do a repeat scan. you could have symptoms from an em bollization to the kidney. fever, nausea, vomiting, some other problems. so there are reasons why you might stay, but you're right. typically, you don't stay that long. >> we don't know why. you raised some of the issues that could be there. is this something that happened suddenly? that she suddenly would have found out or is this something she would likely have known for a while, a procedure that was upcoming. >> either/or.

the two most common reasons is a benign tumor or vascular malformation. >> you want to stop the blood going in. cut it off? >> right. you want to stop the blood flow. you could know you have it and not have a problem and then preeffortively do that. or you could have a bleed and urgently deal with it. >> again, we don't know which. so what would the prognosis usually be here? >> typically, it's very good. again, the white house was clear, this was a benign kidney condition. so this should be okay. just sometimes you might need o treat it. or she has the privilege of staying longer, she's the first lady. she has the right to stay. >> use insurance like the rest of us, hey, you get your two days for this, your three days for this. >> that's it. >> i guess the rules are -- thank you so much. appreciate it. and next, one of the few
