feel like 50? how can i share new plans virtually? how can i download an e-file? virtual tours? zip-file? really big files? in seconds, not minutes... just like that. like everything... the answer is simple. i'll do what i've always done... dream more, dream faster, and above all... now, i'll dream gig. now more businesses, in more places, can afford to dream gig. comcast, building america's largest gig-speed network. security clearance is very important to me. very, very important. >> he's drunk on power. he really is. i think he's abusing the powers of that office. i think right now this country is in a crisis. >> there's no silence. if anything i'm giving up a bigger voice. many people don't know who he is.
3:01 am
and now he has the bigger royvo, and that's okay. i say it, i say it again, that whole situation is a rigged witch hunt. my daddy is a hero. he helps me -- >> somebody has her, just please bring her back. i just want them back. i just -- i just want them to come back. >> husband, chris watts, was taken into custody and was transported to jail. >> this is "new day weekend" with victor blackwell and christi paul. we begin with breaking news. kofi annan, former u.n. secretary general and nobel prize winner, is dead. he was 80 years old. a diplomat from ghana, he served in the u.n.'s top post from 1997 to 2016 and worked tirelessly for human rights.
3:02 am
>> the current secretary general said, "kofi annan was a guiding force for good. it is with profound sadness that i learned of his passing." we'll have more from richard roth come covered annan for years in a couple of moments. this morning, new jabs in the fight over security clearance. the president defiant and threatening to strip a doj official soon -- this after revoking john brennan's clearance. he says he's drunk on power. >> he's drunk on power, we really is. i think he's abusing the powers of the office. i think this country is in crisis in terms of what mr. trump has been and is liable to do. >> what's critical to understand is the people who could use
3:03 am
their security clearance next, let's look here -- all have been publicly critical of the president or have been tied to the russia probe in some fashion. >> the "washington post" reports documents to strip the clearance are ready for the president to sign. let's start with sarah westwood in new jersey near where the president is staying. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. >> tell us, what -- >> reporter: president trump -- >> go ahead, go ahead. >> reporter: president trump is facing that backlash for removing the security clearance of former cia director john brennan. he's tied it to the russia investigation but allegedly that brennan abused his security clearance, although the white house has produced no evidence to show how they think he did so. former intelligence officials are speaking out on brennan's behalf. they're not necessarily saying
3:04 am
they agree with what brennan said about the president, but they agree to his right to say it. 60 ex-cia officials warned the president this could set a dangerous precedent and said, "all of us believe it is critical to protect classified information from unauthorized exposure. we believe equally strongly that former government officials have a right to express their unclassified views on what they see as a critical national security issue without fear of being punish eed for doing so. the country will be weakened if there's a political litmus test applied before diplomats can share their views." president trump saying he deserved a tremendous response to his decision and that happen he might continue to remove security clearances from officials. >> so what are we learning about other potential clearances being revoked? >> reporter: there are reports that the white house has drawn up the papers to remove the
3:05 am
security clearances from potentially dozens of former officials. many connected to the russia investigation. also on the list, former director of national intelligence james clapper, an outspoken critic of the president. others are former fbi officials who have been linked to the probe such as peter strzok, the fbi agent who was only recently removed from the bureau, and lisa page, former fbi attorney with whom strzok had an affair and with whom he exchanged anti-trump texts with. mark warner, ranking senate on the intelligence committee, is threatening to take action to prevent president trump from making these moves on security clearances. he said in a tweet, "i will be introducing an amendment next week to block the president from punishing and intimidating his critics by arbitrarily revoking
3:06 am
security clearances. stay tuned. the white house is weighing the opportune time to remove the security clearances. potential we'll have to wait -- potentially we'll have to wait until the next busy news day to see those come to fruition. >> we appreciate it. thank you. that's where i want to start with walter schwab, cnn contributor and former director of the office of government ethics and julienne zelz -- julian zelizer, professor at princeton university. welcome back. julian, i want to start with you where sarah left off. in the reporting of the "washington post," the president prepared to sign most if not all to revoke the clearances of others. and the "post" said they're discussing the opt men and women time to release them as a distraction during unfavorable news cycles. using this as a distraction play, the security clearances. your take? >> i'm sure there's an element
3:07 am
where this is the distraction from the president's alleged comments on race. it's a pretty dangerous distraction. and it's more than a drakz, it's trying to create a climate of fear among president trump's opponents by revoking clearances and insinuating things about the people whose clearances are being revoked. it's kind of freezing discussion. it could freeze discussion among very important experts in this country. about events, simply because they know the president might go after them. it is a distraction, but its implications are much more than that. >> walter, i think as the reporting is from the "washington post," to hold these to use for optimum timing and distract from major stories, does that not hallow out the central argument for revoking security clearances if they
3:08 am
believe the men and women having the kpleerclearance is a threat national security or they're not deserving of them? if you hold them for weeks or months, does that mean that you are not then putting the country in jeopardy by not doing it immediately? >> yeah. the president has made clear this has nothing to do with national security. this is to create a distraction for the various scandals working through the news. it has to do with silencing critics. brennan himself won't be silenced, but every former government employee who depends on having a security clearance for their job or other purposes is going to have to think twice about ever speaking out. the definition of corruption is misuse of governmental authority for your own purposes, for your own benefit. and that's exactly what the president is doing here. unfortunately, he's doing it in the area of national security which jeopardizes the entire national security framework. that is extremely dangerous.
3:09 am
>> julian, what's your take on what we heard about democratic senator and vice chair of senate intelligence mark warner who plans to introduce an amendment next week to stop the president as he characterizes it, from arbitrarily revoking security clearances? unlikely to pass, but put it into historical context what we're seeing and are not seeing from members of congress. >> the not seeing i think is more relevant. we're seeing a total collapse of oversight. we're seeing partisanship with the republican majority is triumphant over any kind of institution am responsibility. -- institutional responsibility. senator warner might try to push on this, but based on the track record of congress it's going nowhere. thus far the congress has protected and insulated the president and have stood by in the most controversial moments without doing much more than making statements reprimanding
3:10 am
him. i don't think warner's going to have much luck here. >> walter, on the theme of what congress is and is not doing, i read your letter that you sent to senator gasly, chairman of senate jonesboro about the concerns -- that members of the administration are being required or at least asked to sign these, part of the discussion after the rollout of omaro omarosa's book. >> this is an assault on free speech. the president attacks the press, he's going after former government officials with clearances, and he's even making his white house officials sign nondisclosure agreements. shockingly, it was the white house ethics official who was the one running around making people sign these and administering these nondisclosure agreements. the problem is that since 1988
3:11 am
with the exception of one year where it slipped through the cracks, senator grassley implemented a gag rule saying that any office funded by congressional appropriations cannot have a confidentiality policy or agreement without including specific language warning people of their rights. this simply doesn't include it. i filed a letter with senator grassley saying you should look into this because they're thumbing their nose at your gag rule. he had even written a letter to don mcghan, white house counsel, warning that this exists. they don't seem to care. >> let's wrap up here with you, juli julian. former president jimmy carter, a profile piece about his post presidency life there in georgia. his comments on president trump and his presidency. let's put him up on the screen, give a taste of what he said here. calling the administration a disaster. he says, "i think he's a
3:12 am
disaster in human rights and taking care of people and treating people equal. i think there's been attitude of ignorance toward the truth by president trump." first, how rare is it, julian, if you could describe for a president to talk about one of his contemporaries, and then for this president to speak about a president in this way? >> this is pointed criticism. you do have presidents make statements about what's going on in terms of policy and high-profile issues, but this is a hard-hitting attack and represents where a lot of the country is now on the president of the united states. it's not a total surprise. a jimmy carter was a president who was in many ways committed to restraining presidential power and restoring some of the balance of order after watergate and richard nixon. i think for him what he's watching is a total reversal of some of his aspirations and goals in the late 1970s.
3:13 am
hard-hitting words from carter, brennan, and reflects the nature of the opposition to this presidency now. >> all right. julian, walter, always a pleasure. thank you, gentlemen. >> thank you. did a top republican fundraiser and trump supporter try to sell his influence to foreign officials for millions? the "washington post" reporting that elliott brody is under a justice department investigation. he allegedly came one a plan to urge the trump administration to send a chinese dissident home where he faced arrest and wanted $75 million to help stop a u.s. probe of a fund under the malaysian government's control. his attorney says the allegations are not true. brody resigned as deputy chairman of the rnc in the spring after reports surfaced that he'd paid a former "playboy" model more than $1 million to keep quiet about the affair. >> this is a tense weekend for former trump campaign chairman paul manafort. he continues to wait on the jury to decide his face and future. we'll ask our legal expert to weigh in.

terrified. how worried were you about the baby? >> i was very worried, but i just thought that my body was not going to be able to carry it. >> reporter: it's hard to overstate the risks of being pregnant while addicted to opioids -- miscarriage, stillbirth, and the possibility of a baby would essentially be born into a crisis of withdrawal known as neo-natal abstinence syndrome, nas. this is tough watch. the uncontrollable crying, unstoppable tremors. and this distinctive scream. >> they're essentially coming off of opiates like an adult would, except these are babies that have just been born. >> that's correct. we're going to see how big the baby is -- >> reporter: for dr. craig towers, this was not acceptable. he decided to challenge it the status quo. >> conventional wisdom has been if someone has a use disorder during pregnancy, don't try and detox, wait until after they've
3:38 am
delivered the baby. the thought was that would be safest, is that right? >> that's correct. our two systemic reviews now have shown that that's not the case. >> reporter: dr. towers says he has detoxed more than 600 women from opioids while they were pregnant. not a single baby has died. what was it that convinced you that maybe you could get through this time? >> he asked me to trust him. and nobody's ever done that with me. you know, they've never cared like that. >> reporter: it's the same compassion michaela howard felt when she detoxed during pregnancy. it wasn't easy, but look at how it turned out. how is j.c. doing? >> she's good. she's a happy baby. >> reporter: this is her beautiful baby girl, now three-month-old. >> she was born -- three months old. >> she was born with no withdrawal symptoms and didn't go to the nicu. >> reporter: you're pretty proud i imagine that she's doing so well? >> i'm very happy about that.
