and christi paul. >> good morning pow. in elite letter to "the new york times," president trump's lawyers argue no way he obstructed justice essentially because he is the president. >> we will have more on that in a moment. also this hour, breaking news. kim jong-un's growing guest list. syria's president is the latest world leader to court the ni dictator. >> psychiatrist in jonbenet ramsey case is among four people murdered. harvey weinstein is back in court this week. president trump's lawyers say their clients cannot obstruct justice because he can't obstruct himself, essentially. that he in charge of all federal investigations. >> according to "the new york times," trump's lawyers made their kay in a letter to robert

mueller's office in january arguing their client should not have to sit down with the special counsel. >> they say as president, president trump can grant pardons, fire an fbi director or end an investigation, quote, at any time and for any reason. >> joining us live is cnn reporter sarah westwood. what are you learning when you hear from the fallout of this letter being published? >> reporter: this letter represents a remarkable over the russian investigation and hand delivered to the special counsel's team in january and it lays out a detailed argument about why president trump should not have to submit to a subpoena if mueller decides to compel trump's testimony. they argue trump cannot obstruct justice because of his constitutional authority over the justice department. that is an assertion likely to be challenged. the letter does shed some light

on the preparation of a misleading statement the president's son donald trump trump issued last year after his meeting with a russian lawyer and trump tower came to light. now this statement you'll recall described the meeting as one primary focused on adoption but we know that 2016 meeting was represented to donald trump jr. to pass on dirt about hillary clinton. the white house has repeatedly denied the president had anything to do with writing this statement. take a listen. >> that was written by donald trump jr. and i'm sure in c consultation with his lawyer. the president was not involved in the drafting of the statement and did not issue the statement. it came from donald trump jr. >> he certainly didn't dictate but like i said he weighed in and offered suggestion like any father would do. >> reporter: the argument's

trump lawyers laid out in this letter are ones we have been hearing them make privately for months. cnn reported on this letter last month but now we are getting a detailed look at how the president's lawyers are pushing back against mueller. >> sarah westwood, thank you. here is the part from that letter from trump's lawyers. the president's actions here by virtue of his position as the chief law enforcement officer could neither constitutionally nor legally constitute obstruction because that would amount to obstructing hims. a himself. joining us now to discuss is joey jackson a criminal defense attorney and cnn legal analyst. the validity of that argument, your take. >> my take it's not valid at all and i think it's preposterous, quite frankly. the basic proposition is no person is above the law. president being such a person.

in that regard, in the event the president has the constitutionalal power you have to operate within the bounds of the law. the fact is that, yes, the president has broad constitutional authority but nevein the event you carry out that authority with a corrupt intention was it corrupt or not and why we have the special counsel but if you have a corrupt intention it's problematic. so, for example, if you fire someone but you're paid to do it, right? because you're accepting money for firing someone that is a problem, right? in the event that you're appo t appointing somebody, remember rod blagojevich. you took money to do it. so he had every right as a governor to make an appointment but taking money and being bribed to do it makes it, although you have the authority, unlawful improper. let's go back to trump. the fact the matter is if he

takes actions, notwithstanding his constitutional authority and has a corrupt intention it becomes problem mat irand legally offensive and it becomes obstru obstruction. the whole point the special counsel want to speak to the president is to determine what his intent is. only the president can talk to the issue of what he was thinking when he act in a certain manner and that the is t the relevance. to they get to the corrupt issue they get to the issue of obstruction. the president, notwithstanding his constitutional authority can be held accountable like erc everyone else if he takes illegal action. >> you brought the point for corrupt reason and your belief that argument is invalid.

based on the assertions made in this letter, do you believe that a court battle over a potential subpoena of the president is more likely now? >> i really do, victor. this is why. the fact is that it remains an open question whether you can subpoena the president. now people may be yelling at the tv saying what about nixon? he was forced to turn over the tapes. as it relates to nixon we are talking about documentary evidence and the supreme court answered that question and where the president presents documentary evidence and that evidence is valid and relevant to an investigation it must be turned over. now get from 74 and go and look what happened in the era of bill clinton in the '90s. what happened there the president was subpoenaed by special counsel at that time mr. starr to appear before the grand jury. it was never litigated because bill clinton and his team decided to voluntarily cooperate in that regard, appear before

the grand jury, not in the grand jury but via tape in the white house request reporters around. it is whether the president could be physically compelled to his person. not records, not tapes, his open person. it is a question whether that is unlawful proper and it will very well could be tested in this case. in the event the president is compelled to appear before the grand jury the president doesn't have to say anything. we started this conversation by me saying the president is not above the law or beneath the law. if you're required to testify in front of a grand jury i assert my fifth amendment right not to testify and not to say a thing on the grounds it may incriminate him. in the event the court decides mr. president you have to appear the president may stay mum and not answer any questions which could be a political issue but from a legal perspective that question has definitely been answered and the answer is you don't need to say a word in the

event that it may incriminate you. >> joey jackson, thank you. we will dig deeper into the letter that was published by "the new york times" throughout the show and thank you for helping us to understand it. tune in to "state of the union" 9:00 a.m. eastern with jake tapper and is joined by house majority leader kevin mccartney. and canada foreign minister christa freeland. breaking news. another world leader apparently is lining up to meet north korean dictator. the north korean news agency says syrian president bashar al assad will meet with kim junk un. >> he held a surprise summit with china's leader xi jinping a few weeks and talking with

these are two leaders who haven't met. they have exchanged messages of sports and congratulations for one another. two countries who have had close relations for decades now. assad's father met with kim jong-un's grandfather in the 1970s and i'll remind everyone that it was just this winter that the u.n. released a reporter citing what they call evidence of cooperation on chemical weapons. that was the sanctions against north korea. speaking of the sanctions. the secretary of defense jim mattis was in the region this weekend assuring the allies and the world at large the saunnctis against flnorth korea will be maintained up into this meeting. listen. >> we will recognize the dla declaration of peace and prosperity against the north korean peninsula and that was announced in april. we can anticipate best a bumpy

road to the negotiations. >> reporter: a bumpy road. certainly taking a different tone than president trump and certainly taking a tough tone. some strong rhetoric from secretary mattis until the north korea can take steps to denuclearization. the administration hasn't said how that will be published. they will not talk about the shapes or elements of a potential deal but certainly president trump being optimistic about this meeting while at the same time loring expectations saying this that would be a get to know you meeting with kim jong-un perhaps the first of several more meetings. >> alexander field, thank you so much. terrifying moment during a little league baseball game. cell phone video shows a woman driving her car onto a baseball field and one man died.

have been placed at the capital building and raise is awareness of specific people who died, they believe, because of hurricane maria. i spoke to t family. diaz rodriguez family told me his family had medical conditions that worsened after murk maria and giving them the lack of access to medical care as well as lack of power. his son wrote here we will love you always. he is number 1580. there are more than 2,000 shoes that have been placed right here at the capital building. a lot of hugs, a lot of tears. organizer told me this is a funeral and they consider this the cemetery. i spoke to one woman who came here and was just caught up with all of the emotion and when i asked her why, she said she had two pairs of shoes to put down and then she said, i smell

death. this is death. of course, all of this comes after harvard put out a new study that indicates they believe that at least 4600 people died as a result of maria. the puerto rican government says the death toll ms remains at 64 even though they have commissioned a study with george washington universal supposed to be part of it complete in may but there have been delays. the timing of this is also creating anxiety. we are now in the 2018 atlantic hurricane season. as we have spent the week traveling across this island, many people say that they are not prepared for another hurricane to come because this island is just too vulnerable and is still recovering. leyla santiago, cnn, san juan, puerto rico. >> as she said, yes, we are in

the official hurricane season right now. 11,000 residents still do not have power! the mayor of corizal some have tarps or temporary roofs over their home. maria cardona is with us now. you grew up in puerto rico and your daughter is on a school trip there and your brother and his family still live there. are they confident that they can survive the next hurricane season? are there any provisions being made? >> you know, there are some preparations going on, but there is no question that everybody there is terrified because they see the lack of the recovery efforts, the lack of attention that has been given to this island after the destruction that they suffered through hurricane maria and they are not confident that they are going to be able to withstand, especially if it's another category 4 or 5

storm the way that maria was. let's think about the last study we just heard about which is almost 5,000 people and probably more will end up having died because of hurricane maria. christi, that is more than americans were killed during 9/11 and katrina put together. let's think about that for a moment. and what is the u.s. government doing about this? after four americans were killed in benghazi, after the 3,000 americans that were killed during 9/11, after more than 1,500 americans their killed during katrina, they were all put a -- a bipartisan commission was put together to study those situations, to figure out what happened, to make sure that it never happened again because we did not want that kind of death toll to american citizens. we are talking about more than 5,000 american citizens here. >> if that number is right and this is so confusing. let's be very honest.

the numbers are just not solid hard numbers here. the harvard study says 4645 numbers and puerto rican government say 64 numbers and "the new york times" is reporting the true number of deaths could range from 800 to 8,poo 8,500. what that tells us they have no idea and does that surprise you? because why this late in the game would you not know? before i let you answer that question, i want to listen with you here to puerto rico's governor because he responded to this new harvard study regarding those numbers. >> sure. >> i will certainly look into it and if it's true, anderson, you know, there will be held to pay. >> he is saying there will be hell to pay if it's true there is talk that there were territory officials who withheld key statistics about people's death. here is the thing.

if there were 4,600 deaths, cnn has had people there since this happened. would we not have seen more proof of these deaths? >> well, here is the thing, christi. because there are so manyas in puerto rico that could not be gotten to right after the hurricane or at least that is what government officials said, what always astounded me, christi, is that cnn was able to get our reporters to these places and many times, these reporters were the first people that puerto ricans saw after the hurricane. to me, that is embarrassing and shameful that the u.s. government could not get people there, people who were focused on saving people's lives and recovery, but our own reporters were able to get there. now it is difficult to have an official count but the reason why i believe and so many people on the island believe that the number is going to tragically be above 5,000 is because there were stories and you all did a

piece about this right after hurricane maria, of people that were actually having -- this is so horrible to say -- but they were keeping their bodies of their loved ones who had passed away during the hurricane or right after because of lack of medical attention and lack of an ability for government official to get to them. they were keeping them in their houses because they didn't know what else to do with the bodies. there are so many stories like that, christi, as well people who, maybe not the day of, maybe not two days, maybe not the week after, but month after maria, they perished because of a lack of medical attention. there were so many hospitals who could not get power and who could not keep power. christi, my brother still tells me of stories not two weeks ago, there was an island-wide blackout that happened and that has been happening constantly. so when you have things like that and when you have people on

the brink that need oxygen, for example, or that need dialysis, they can die in a moment's notice. that is why it's so difficult to measure but that is why so many people believe that tragically it is going to be more than 5,000 people. >> hard to wrap your head around that this is still happening. >> we need to keep our attention on it so thank you for continuing to do these reports. >> these are people's lives and not statistics. >> american citizens. >> thank you. >> appreciate it so much. >> thank you. up next, the showdown between america and some of its closest allies. g7 nations square off with the u.s. commerce secretary and the treasury secretary and warn of a possible trade war over terrorists. what might seem like a small cough to you... can be a big bad problem that you could spread to family members, including your grandchildren babies too young to be vaccinated against whooping cough are the most at risk for severe illness.

what did we ask secretary -- treasury secretary to do? we said that we were collectively hoping that he would bring the message back, the message of regret and disappointment at the american actions and concerns they are not constructive. >> regret and disappointment there is the reaction of trade taerv tariffs by the closest allies. >> the g7 summit is secretary this week. secretary is pushing back. >> trade is an important issue that president trump has focused on and rebalancing our trade relationships. obviously, trade was a big focus of the last few days here. and speaking to all of the

members of the g7 and i've already spoken to president trump and reflected some of the comments and look forward to speaking to him more when i get back. this was the g7. anybody who made the comment, you know, i think there was a comment there that the g6 plus 1, pit was not. we believe in the g7. >> julian zeleny is joining us now, cnn political analyst and historian and professor at princeton university. good morning to you. >> good morning secretary mnuchin says this is not the group of six plus one, that, you know, the u.s. is still p of and supports the g7. the other members may not feel that way. have we gun hebeen here before? >> not in this way. we may still be part of it but i think many allies feels the united states is pulling away. this is a framework established after world war ii, that the united states and its allies have maintained to protect free trade and to protect everyone

basically being involved on an equal playing field and for many, it feels like this is at the point of unraveling and it's a moment when other countries like britain have also been withdrawing. so many allies are seriously worried and it's fair to say this seems like a potentially new moment in our free trade framework. >> beyond free trade, i mean, if you consider that there has been this narrative of potential protectism and isolationism from the trump administration. i listed a few of them this morning. he felt isolation of nato summit last may and pulled out of the transpacific partnership and pulled out of the iran nuclear deal and multinational deal there. said friday that he would be interested in getting out of nafta and creating two separate deals with canada and mexico. now as he goes into the gsummit

this week in quebec this is a narrative that this president is pushing that not only he is pulling out of many of these multinational deals, but he is looking to just these bilateral deals one-on-one. >> yeah. isn't isolationism. he is replacing nafta potentially with one-on-one deals and he is doing it in an erratic fashion. this is the other concern. there doesn't seem to be a rhyme and reason to where he will strike next and many allies are not confident they can communicate with the president and scrambling people like ross to try to reach the president. this is very unnerving and we are talking about our allies here not our adversaries. the summit begins in canada this week, the suggestion the steel and aluminum tariffs are

to support and protect national security. the question then becomes is canada a national security threat? what does this mean for the nafta talks as those negotiations continue? larry kudlow says this is just a family disagreement. >> well, this is a pretty bitter family disagreement and family disagreements can turn out poorly. i think the future of nafta right now is in question and i think the history that you just outlined of the trump administration suggests the president might be very serious about allowing this to come apart and we shouldn't take it likely and i think the president's move this week suggests he is willing to go after some of our closest allies. >> julian zeleny, good to have you, sir. >> thank you. disgraced movie mowingal harvey weinstein is back in court this week facing charges of sexual assault. our legal expert, joey jackson, is with us to talk about how this is going to play out possibly this week. here's the story of green mountain coffee roasters
