street which is sherlock holmes' london address. president trump, through his lawyers, saying no way he obstructed justice. >> the president didn't sign off on anything. >> he certainly didn't dictate. the first time the president's attorneys have acknowledged that trump dictated the statement. >> mr. trump was, obviously, lying to his lawyers if the lawyers are honest about what went down. >> announcer: this is "new day weekend" with victor blackwell and christi paul. >> good morning. so grateful you're keeping us company here. a leaked letter to "the new york times" acknowledging for the first time that the president dictated a statement about a controversial trump tower meeting, despite repeated denials that he did so in the past. >> more on that in a moment. also coming up this hour, the breaking news that kim

jong-un's guest list is growing. syria's president bashar al assad is the latest to court the north korean dictator. and authorities are trying to figure out why a woman drove on a little league field on friday killing a 68-year-old man. so many questions online. the ugs is officially force to do tell people don't toast marshmallows off volcanic lava. >> what? >> people apparently have. president trump's lawyers say their client cannot obstruct justice because he is the president and that means he is in charge of all the investigations. >> according to "the new york times," president trump's lawyers made that i case 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, mr. trump can grant pardons and fire an fbi director or end an

investigation and this is a quote. at any time and for any reason. >> cnn white house reporter sarah westwood is with us now. what are you hearing from washington about this discrepancy? he, you know, repeatedly it has been said that he did not dictate this letter. this letter, however, or the letter originally from his. >> the -- >> his son. but this completely dictates or rather distracts from what he said before. >> reporter: absolutely. one of many things we learned from this letter written by two of the president's lawyers at the time. it represents a remarkable attempt to aassert broad executive privilege over parts of the russia investigation and handled to the special counsel in february. antiwhy the president should not have to submit to a letter. according to them the president cannot obstruct justice over the his constitutional app authority over the justice department and that is an assertion likely to

be challenged if mueller uncovers evidence of obstru obstruction. the letter sheds some light on the preparation of a misleading statement that the president's son donald trump jr. issued last year after his meeting with the russian lawyer in trump tower came to light. in the letter the lawyers write the president dictated a short but accurate response to "the new york times" on behalf of his son donald trump jr. that statement you'll recall described the 2016 meeting as one primary focused on adoption but we know the meeting was presented to trump junior as an effort by the russians to pass on dirt about hillary clinton. tu the white house 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 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. christi? >> sarah westwood, thank you. breaking news this hour. kim jong-un is getting ready to meet, apparently, yet another world leader. according to the north korean news agency, syrian president bashar al assad will visit pa yang y pyongyang soon. >> he held a surprise summit with xi jinping weeks ago and sawing with south korea's president jae-in moon.

a lot of people are trying to get influence and bashar al assad is next. >> good morning to you. yet another indication that kim jong-un is going into a important meeting with president donald trump. syria and north korea have a history. the presidents have exchanged messages of support before and this past winter that the u.n. alleged a report there was evidence of continued cooperation between syria and north korea on chemical weapons and ballistic missiles and now syria president is the first leader to visit face-to-face with kim jong-un. north korean state news saying assad said this. the world

no date yes yet set for that meeting but the other big meaning between trump and kim jong-un happen on june 12th. he talked about the need to keep up the strong defenses against north korea at this point going into meeting in order to allow the u.s. diplomats to negotiate from a position of strength. take land to what he said. >> we will recognize the 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. according to secretary mattis. certainly taking a different tone than president trump and saying everyone is talking nicely and reason to go ahead with this summit. he has tempered expectations what the summit can accomplish

and u.s. standing firm it's to denuclearication but the state department is not saying what can go into that deal like that and the president, himself, saying the meeting on june 12th on could be a starting point and one of many meetings with a get to know you meeting with kim jong-un. >> alexander field in seoul, thank you very much. joining us is a executive director for research at harvard. thank you for being with us. i want to start where she left off. secretary mattis saying he believes a bumpy road. what do you think are the biggest obstacles here? >> the most basic issue that we want north korea to give us its nuclear weapons and the north koreans are not prepared to do that. so that is a fundamental disagreement. i think the negotiation will focus on what kind of measures the north koreans are prepared to take in the near term to

limit their nuclear weapons and ballistic weapons capability and what we would have to do in return in order for north korea to take those steps. that's is why these are difficult and protracted negotiations. >> we also have the news this morning that syrian president bashar al assad is planting to visit north korea and if that takes place, how does that affect what the u.s. and south korea have in store here? >> it's an important reminder one of the issues on the table for the u.s./north korean negotiations is north korean exports of weapons technology. in the past provided assistance to syria to build nuclear weapons and a long-term relationship between the chemical weapons technologies and one of the issues u.s. is negotiating with north korea are

restraints and limits on north korean export activity. >> if this meeting goes well, what would you have to -- how would you characterize is a successful meeting between the u.s. and north korea? what has to happen? >> i think what we can expect is a very high level political commitment to nuclear-free korean peninsula and establishment of peace and establishment of normally relations between the u.s. and north korea and set of negotiations which will be the difficult work after the summit. at president trump said, there could very easily be additional summits because these negotiations are going to take months, if not years, and it might be necessary for the leaders to intervene at various points in order to try to make progress. >> do you believe that additional summits would be not just bilateral but possibly tri-lateral and more than the

u.s. and north korea sitting face-to-face? >> i think the south korean president jae-in moon to like to participate and if that makes sense where the diplomatsy is and no problem with that. i think the more difficult issue is the substantive disagreements between pyongyang and washington over the pace and scope of disarmament and what north koreans would get in return on the linkage between nuclear disarmament and peace and normalization and the verification issues which are very challenging. all of these issues will require very intense negotiation over a long period of time. >> gary samore, we appreciate your time this morning. thank you. >> thank you. the president is lashing out saying the special counsel will meddle in the midterm elections. the fate of the house and senate are on the line. will the gop take control?

so glad to have you with us here. i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. good morning to you. the president's lawyers say he does not need a reason to grant pardons, fire an fbi director or even end an investigation because he cannot obstruct justice. here is the key part of their letter to robert mueller linked to "the new york times." here it is. let's talk about it. joining us now to discuss is legal annist and criminal defense page pates and sxu

constitutional attorney. i'll pull this straight from the letter the president can neither constitutionally obstruct because of being president. >> i think that is incorrect. the chiefxecutive officer the president determines what can happen in the department of justice. he is the guy on top. if he wants a particular investigation to end for a good reason or even for no reason, he can do that. the difference with the obstruction of justice statute it prohibits someone from ending an investigation or obstructing an investigation with a jupt intent. in this case the corrupt intent is either protect myself as the president or people close to me, my family, my advisers, that sort of thing. i think a president can commit the crime of obstruction of justice if he is doing anything in an investigation to stop it, hinder it or throw it off course with intent of corruption.

>> will they sit down and try to get an understanding of what was going on the in the president's mind when he tried to -- or when fired the former fbi director james comey and any conversations with comey about letting the flynn investigation go? can robert mueller's team get to a case on obstruction of justice without having a conversation with the president about what is going through his minds or rely on the may 2017 interview with lester holt where he said i was thinking about russia at the time. >> 90% of the case will be proven when the prosecutor can show an individual did something to try to stop the investigation. it's always with corrupt intent and why else would you try to stop an investigation? what mueller has to find out here, i think the only way he can do this is by talking to the president is, okay, you wanted to stop the investigation or you wanted to get rid of jim comey. why?

was it to protect yourself? was it to protect michael flynn, somebody close to you? i think that the president has to answer those questions, at least in the special counsel's mind, for there to be enough evidence to show that corrupt intent. they can show he tried to stop the investigation without talking to him. but i don't think they can show the corrupt intent. >> do you think this is headed to a subpoena fight? >> i think it's possible. but i also think the president's lawyers are banking on the fact that robert mueller is not going to push this if he thinks the president will refuse to do it because then you end up in the court system and then you end up, perhaps, with a constitutional crisis because if there is a subpoena requiring the president to appear and he says i'm not going to do it, how are you going to force the subpoena? you granddad court and get the marshals out to bring the president to a grand jury? it's a very difficult scenario to imagine so i think the president's lawyers ultimately are saying we are going to call your bluff and if you give us a subpoena, we are not going to follow it. so perhaps they are banking on the fact that mueller is not

going to push it that far. >> one other issue here from your analyst profile here. sarah sanders said in the white house briefing room that of the statement that was drafted on air force one in reference to an explanation of the june 2016 meeting at trump tower between don jr. and other members of the campaign and several russians, that the president weighed in, as any father would, but he certainly did not dictate. what we learned from the letter published by "the new york times" that the president did dictate there and not the first time sarah sanders has been exposed for saying things that were not true. i hesitate to call them lies because we don't know what she knew at the time it was said but how does she keep that job and keep credibility? why would you want to keep that job? >> i cannot imagine it. as far as credibility, i don't really believe that most people and certainly true in connection with the investigation, believe anything that is coming out of the white house and i think that

one of the things that the special counsel as office has watched from the beginning of their investigation, how is the white house responding when there is an issue that is raised either by the media or by someone within the department of justice? and if it's further obstruction, lies, if you will or false statements, that can be further evidence of obstruction if it relates to the subject matter of the investigation. >> jay seculo said the president didn't dictate but weighed in and even once said he didn't write the statement but he work for the president and it's his personal dollar. sarah sanders worked for the federal government, the people's money. aside from the subpoena fight, do you expect there will be a time when president trump is sitting down with robert mueller and answering questions? >> they have been back and forth on that. what we have heard from giuliani i think is somewhat inconsistent. is he going to do it or not do it and will dough it only if he can decide what questions is he going to answer? >> or if he gets the information about the informant that -- >> right. >> to his campaign. >> has nothing to do with the

special counsel's investigation. >> right. >> so i think ultimately, yes. i think there will be a limited number of questions. the president's team will decide how we are going to answer those questions and ultimately because of the reason we talked about before, i think robert mueller will accept that. if i can do get some response from the president personally i'll do my report based on that information. i wish i could do more but i don't think he is going to push it to the point we are going to see this fight in court. >> you don't see a fifth amendment? >> i don't think so because i think before he goes into that interview he knows what questions are coming and so he'll be prepared to answer those questions. >> if he can stick to the script. >> that is the interesting question. >> page pate, thank you. as seniors graduate today from marjorie douglas stoneman high school, one research say they inspired new research into new gun violence. >> toasting marshmallows are fun but not over an active volcano.

their activism has inspired a boost. 14 million to fund research into gun violence. jeremy travis is joining us. thank you for being with us. what specifically inspired this foundation to take this route? >> thank you for having me. we, like most americans, i think, were quite stunned by the event in parkland and inspired by the students and their activism and within our foundation, we had a discussion initiated by laura and joe arnold, cofounders, what we could do. we are a newly foundation in houston. we believe producing good research can improve policies so we looked around and realized, unfortunately, for many years, more than two decades, the research on gun violence has been stymied by the inability of

our federal government to fund research through the normal research institute. so we decided to step up and announced last week that we were making a million commitment from our foundation, asking others to join us to bring together a total of fund of $50 million to fund research on this public health crisis that has really rocked our country. >> part of the need for this is because the dollars are lacking because congress can't do anything about this. is that what i understand? because of current laws, that have taken place and have pulled some of the resources from the cdc? >> yeah, if we go back in our history to 1996, congress passed a prediction called the dickey amendment which prevents the centers for disease control from engaging in advocate for gun

control and to prevent them from researching research on gun vils. there has been a motedification of that understanding that says the secretary of health and human services are authorize that search so there are reasons to be cautiously optimistic and maybe there is some movement but let's put this in perspective. last year, in the budget now in place, our congress, through bipartisan enact, increased the research budget of the national institutes of health by $4 billion. we added another $100 million for research on flu vaccine, another 400 million for alzheimer's. we know how to fund research for improve policy on health crisis. but there is a stalemate in washington and our hope in this way we are trying to draw attention to this is that this will help the government move in that direction. >> jeremy, i only have a minute

left and i want to get this question out to you. i know you're a nonpartisan group. what specific answers are you looking for when it comes to -- when we say gun violence, a study on that, that is very broad. specifically what kind of research aring looking for? >> we want to fund research that will help us develop policies to reduce both homicides and suicides. two-thirds of all gun deaths are suicides. we don't have a particular agenda. that is the point. we want to find a way to develop research to promote policy that will save lives. >> jeremy travis, we appreciate you being here. thank you, sir. >> thank you. let's talk about the big meeting in canada, the g7. why some of america's closest allies and biggest trade partners say they are ready to retaliate in a showdown against u.s. trade tariffs? tonight, anthony b ourngsou

treasury secretary to do? 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 that is the reaction 20 president trump's trade tariffs from some of america's closest

allies and sending it back to mnuchin who is pushing back and he says the u.s. is not abandoning his leadership in the global economy. >> 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, it was not. it's the g7. we believe in the g7. steven moore is joining us me. steven, i know these tariffs were not the result of your advice. so let's understand this morning why. let me make the president's case and can you try to knock it down. you make as the tariffs more

expensive. >> i did advise the president on economics. he knows that i disagreed w him on this tariff policy. i would make the case -- i'll make the case what trump is doing better than what you did. i think he cares about these manufacturing workers in the midwest and states like michigan and ohio and pennsylvania. and, you know, when i campaigned with him in these states, this trade position was very popular with these voters and they are concerned about losing their factories to china and other nations. look. one of the things i would say about trump's policy is that the indignation of these other nations about these proposed tariffs, other nations have much higher tariffs on the united states than we impose on them and that is especially true along a lot of these asian countries and especially china and japan. but when it comes to the steel

and aluminum tariffs, the case i would make to the president is, look. you're not going to save jobs by imposing tariffs on steel an aluminum because you'll make all of our other manufacturing less competitive in the global economy as they have to use steel that is more expensive than other countries are so i'm not sure it's going to save the factory jobs the president would like to see. >> there is some members of his party who, as you know, disagree with this on capitol hill. mitch mcconnell and you've got orrin hatch and ben sasse, ryan as well. this is a tweet from tennessee republican senator bob corker and put it up on the screen. he tweeted about the tariff. that is probably a yes that democrats will join. but the question here is the president willing to go to war with his own party in the final months ahead of crucial midterm election over these tariffs?

>> just one word about the democrats. look. i'm in favor of free trade. i think the push over the last 25 yea haseen to freer trade and it's been good for the entire world, including the united states but not forget bernie sanders, who is one of the leading democratic contenders and now considered a leading democratic nominee for president in the next election, he ran as a trade protectionist as well so this is an issue -- >> let's talk about the republicans. you got a list --." kn . >> trump is taking on his own party in this. now look. i think what a lot of republicans are saying to donald trump and it's kind of the advice that i and some of his other economicist adviser have given to him. let's focus on china. china stealing 500 billion a year. they say so difficult to penetrate the chinese market and one of the reasons they are just

not buying our stuff. so why antagonize our allies in germany in canada, mexico, other countries? when we really want to concentrate on china because that really is where we are going to need -- we are going to need real concessions from china if we are going to have free and fair trade with nations like that. the president said he wouldn't mind disabling nafta to go into bilateral agreement. is the president likely to back out of it? >> one thing i have noticed in trade in talking to the president about this is you have to understand his book, the art of the deal. he is negotiating. he is trying to use these

threats of tariffs as a way to get other nations to lower their tariffs. nafta in my opinion has been a huge success for the entire north arican continent. it has been good for mexico and canada and the united states. why are we picking a fight with them? i want to see nafta maybe modernize. we need a new nafta. let's make it stronger. the geopolitical situation in the next 25 years will be what continent is the economic superpower? asia, europe or north america. the other thing is why is it that the president is doing this now at a time when the united states economy is the envy of the world? we just got the blockbuster jobs report and growing four percent growth. i have my fingers crossed that this turns out for the best but there are a lot of nervous
