security clearances are very important to me. very, very important. >> he's drunk on power. he is. i think he's abusing the powers of the office. i think right now this country is in a crisis. >> there's no silence. if anything i'm giving a bigger voice. many people don't even know who he is. and now he has a bigger voice, 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.
4:01 am
good to be with you this saturday. the feud over security clearances is escalating. ex-cia director john brennan fire couing back at president t after he threatened to strip a doj's security clearance feature very quickly. >> 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 in terms of what mr. trump has done and is liable to do. >> the white house isn't backing down. the "washington post" now reporting the documents needed to strip additionsecurity clear from these top officials tied to the russia probe. they're ready for the president to sign. sarah westwood is in new jersey where the president is staying this weekend. we understand that there are 60 former cia officials who are standing in solidarity with brown, is that -- with brennan,
4:02 am
is that right? >> reporter: that's right. president trump is facing a growing backlash to his decision to target former firbi director john brennan. some calling it unprecedented while the white house struggling to sbexplain why brennan lost h security clearance, saying he abused it. aides have not said anything to suggest than that was anything other than political retribution. 0 -- 0 officials said in a statement all of us believe it is critical to protect classified information from unauthorized disclosure. we believe equally strongly that former government officials have the right to express their unclassified views on what they see as critical supreme court issues. the country -- security clearances. the country will be allowed to e
4:03 am
their views. many of the former intelligence officials are not saying that they agree with how brennan has gone about criticizing the president. they're saying they all agree on brennan's right to do so. >> so -- >> what are we learning about the other security clearances that could be revoked? is there a timeline here? quickly seems vague, pretty relative. >> reporter: well, president trump is weighing removing the security clearances of the at least nine officials who are either connected in some way to the russia investigation or who have spoken out against the president. those names include former director of national intelligence james clapper, former fbi director james comey, recently fired deputy andrew mccabe. one current doj official on the
4:04 am
list, bruce orr. hired by the complete campaign recently drawing scrutiny from trump and congressional republicans. senator mark warner, the ranking democrat on the senate intelligence she and threat noing take action against the president if -- threatening to take action against the if the if he revokes more clearance, writing, i will introduce a memo to block the president from revoking security clearances. stay tuned. this after the "washington post" reports that president trump has drawn up the papers to remove the security clearances, and aides are weighing when to do so, potentially waiting to execute on the decisions when an opportune time coming along. >> all right. air sarah westwood, thank you. errol lewis with us as well as opinion columnist for "the hill" and former democratic
4:05 am
aide. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> errol, i to twant to start w you. is this essentially the list we're seeing an enemies list of people who have done the president wrong in his mind? i don't know the validity of e tthe -- what the validity would be. >> an attempt to intimidate and influence and obstruct the ongoing probe into possible links between the russians and the trump campaign in 2016. i see this -- look, just as a short history lesson, people should recognize that some of the articles of impeachment against richard olympics in included exactly this kind of activity want interfering with the justice department, interfering with the fbi, interfering with the probe that
4:06 am
went forward in the watergate era. president trump is writing his own articles of impeachment one two weeks at a time by drawing up these bogus, preliminariy motivated severances of security clearances and openly stating that it's because he wants to counterattack the russian investigation. >> so brent, we know that senator mark warner has tweeted this -- he said, "i will be introducing an amendment next week to block the president from punishing and intimidating critics by arbitrarily revoking security clearances. stay tuned." the president's within his rights to do what he's doing. how effective could an amendment be like this? >> i hope it is raised. i want to thank cnn for inviting me to tell the audience that yesterday the i suggested at a high level and in the right place that all of the retired cia directors who spoke out against this ask for a private
4:07 am
meeting with president trump in the white house, standing together, to look him in the eye and tell him he should restore john brennan's security clearance, stop acting like a rogue president. and -- and violating the first amendment and being what admiral mcraven said recently was someone who was acting in a mccarthyite way. it's amazing that russia is attacking america, and the cia directors who are defending america are on an enemies list by the president of the united states. that is unaccept tanl, unconscionable. -- unacceptable, unconscionable. i think if the former cia directors ask for the meeting, i think the president who recently met with vladimir putin, the russian dictator attacking us in a secret meeting with no americans except the translator president, would have to agree to meet them. if not, the american people would know that he refused to meet them. i think the country deserves to stand with, as i do, all of these intelligence leaders.
4:08 am
these are great patriots. a meeting with the president eye to eye, nice to face in the white house with all of those former cia directors and intelligence leaders would make a clear and powerful statement to the president and the world that we can't have a rogue president who acts in a way that continues to help russia attack our country. >> errol, you know, we are hearing from somebody that we don't urgely hear from -- don't usually hear from when it comes to criticizing presidents. jimmy carter is talking this morning in the "washington post." he says of president trump, "i think he's a disaster in human rights and taking care of people, and treating people." what do you make of the fact that we are hearing from artat this point? >> well, there are sort of two brands that one associates with former president carter. one is speaking the truth, you know. that was his slogan, i'll never lie to you. and secondly, human rights. he's dedicated most of his life in the post presidency to
4:09 am
furthering and advancing democracy and human rights which have been notably absent from the trump foreign policy. you've got human rights abuse all over the place that this white house doesn't talk aboutment you know, they're -- there are hunger strikes, people in prison, there are gross violations of human rights, and even assassinations, all of which have gone on in recent times in russia. you didn't hear the president talk about it once. from what we can tell about the private, secret meeting with vladimir putin, none of it was even raised. these are important issues. jimmy carter has been an architect of making it clear that it's not a source of weakness, it's not charity, but it's a source of american strength to really fight vigorously for democracy and human rights. it's exactly what you would expect him to say. >> you know, it's one of the things that was perplexing, this news, brent, but rand paul going to moscow and -- and our reporting on it last night from manu raj oh.
4:10 am
not just that but that paul wants to encourage all u.s. lawmakers to go to russia and russia lawmakers to come to the u.s. what would the strat gee be? how -- strategy be? how likely are lawmakers to do this? >> i think paul is operating above his pay grade with an idea like this. i think -- i agree with what errol said and what president carter did. i fully agree with what patti davis, president reagan's daughter, told don nep-- told u about this. and they've warned about the dangers of trump, and i think all the presidents might consider a joint statement supporting all the v.a. directors, as a group. all of them. this is dangerous in the stream. it's not something that should happen in america. it's something that you expect with a russian dictator.
4:11 am
. we're at a important time in history now, and. we have to get the v.a. direction -- we have to get the cia directors to speak with the president. i agree with all of them and praise them all for what they're doing. >> it is notable, however, that president trump still has the support of his base. not everybody obviously coming to this from the same perspective as it has been for quite some sometime. errol lewis, brent, appreciated you being here. thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. the breaking news, kofi annan, former u.n. secretary general and nobel peace prize winner, has died. he was 80. a dip gnat from ghana he served in the top spot from 2007 to 2006 and work offed tirelessly for human rights. >> and more statements, "it's of profound sadness that i learned of his passing. in many ways, kofi annan was the united nations. his league see will remain a --
4:12 am
his election meddling see will -- his legacy will remain a true inspirationus." richard, you've talked about kofi annan for so long, what is resonating with you? >> reporter: you're not supposed to say this as a news journalist, but i'm kind of in semi shock. oddly i was thinking at him yesterday. the cnn complex is moving, and i'm thinking of where i'm taking his book. look, kofi annan was the heart of the u.n. sorry ten years. before that as director of peacekeeping. as his family noted in a statement, the words you hear expressed about kofi annan, often compassion, empathy, you don't often hear that about at times the faceless u.n. diplomats the world has been opinion of despite the heroic work by humanitarian and rescue aid workers.
4:13 am
skoo according to the statement issued by the family, this is what i that to say following the passing at 80. "kofi annan was a global statesman," they say, "and a deeply committed internationalyist who fought for a fairer flag a eer and more pe world. during his career and leadership of the united nations he was a champion of peace, human rights, and the rule of law. he was involved in many global crises at that time, in those ten years. sometimes with success, and others he was able to escape condemnation. a lot of it by the source of his personality. >> yeah. i remember him being a measured, strong presence i think. richard roth, we appreciate that. thank you. all right. it is the weekend. some people might have a chance to be doing a little deliberations in their head. we're talking about the jury in paul manafort's fraud trial. they need more time to reach a

4:21 am
papadopoul papadopoulos. mueller's team submitted a recommendation of sentencing up to six months in jail, $9,500 fine for lying to investigators. what we learned from the documents, the filing released, is that they say he wasn't especially helpful, wasn't as forthcoming until there were text messages and emails and -- and more information. didn't even share that there was -- share that there was a fourth e-mail. can you show correlation between the degree to which investigators say he was not helpful, was cagey, was not clear? and recommending six months, not the five year or anything close to the five-year max for this guilty plea? >> the federal system has a sentencing guideline, and what that means is that the judge is bound within some range, they look at the crime, look at somebody's criminal history, they look at harm, what's happened in the past. and ultimately cooperation. whether or not a defendant
4:22 am
cooperates. may be that the mueller team looked at the guideline range and saw somewhere where they needed to hit in the middle. it's often hard for somebody who has no criminal record to max out on a federal criminal charge. here i think the mueller team is sending the message that if you don't cooperate, it you leads down the wrong path, you can expect to do some jail time as opposed to what he might expect if he had been a full cooperate and had come forward with information and held nothing back, that they would recommend probation. they didn't do that here. >> his wife has suggested that he should pull out of the plea deal agreement. is that possible now? what are the potential implications? >> it's tough to withdraw from the plea agreement. my guess is he has a lawyer say figure you try to pull out, you may have -- expect to spend a greater amount of time in jail. the problem that papadopoulos had is he goes now thinking

they're starter than investigative team when the answers to the questions they're being asked are already known by the investigators. >> quickly, on the larger mueller investigation, here's carl bernstein -- >> i've talked to people in the white house who say that increasingly the president has said to others in the white house that he wants to bury the mueller report when it is written and make sure that it never reaches the congress of the united states. >> is that possible? >> you know, that's going to be tough. ultimately the report gets sent to rod rosenstein, acting and in charge of the investigation. i suppose that trump could try to make some maneuver to remove rosenstein at that point. we might see some political play. by and large, i think that you've heard from rosenstein, and he's been before congress for a number of times now, that he's going to let this report roll out. >> all right. michael moore, always good to have you. >> glad to be with you, thanks. the university of maryland is under fire over this football

good morning to you. let's talk about the maryland board of regents. they've seized control two of investigations into as flagship university after the death of 19-year-old football player jordan mcnair. this week university president wallace loh admitted that the school didn't do enough to protect the teenager. >> the university accepts legal and moral responsibility for the mistakes that our training staff made on that fateful workout day of may 29th. >> a new report by the "washington post" claims loh nixed a plan one year ago that may have protected mcnair. cnn sports analyst and "usa today" columnist christine brennan with us now. always good to see you. were you as surprised i think as i was to hear the president of a university come out and say the words that they accept legal
4:30 am
responsibility? >> we all were surprised, although i think it's the right thing to do. a 19-year-old student, an athlete but student, jordan mcnair, when you have him die on the field because he wasn't allege -- allegedly wasn't properly taken care of back on may 29th and died in inside june, when you have that happen, that is such an extraordinary tragedy. i think it's -- any university, any person with a heart, any human being should react that way. so i'm glad as an observer that the university did that. that wallace loh did take that responsibility. but you're right. in this world of ours where everyone seems to be pointing fingers at somebody else, it was -- it was extraordinary. but it was clearly the right thing to do. >> what do you think is loh's future especially in light of the report by the "washington post" about the plan that perhaps could have saved mcnair's life? >> exactly, it's a big deal because more and more
4:31 am
universities are going toward the independent training idea. the idea being if someone's injured or hurt, you don't report right back to the people who want them on the field. you report to an independent group, an independent person. maryland did not follow the orders of the previous athletic director, kevin anderson. i think that sheds new light on a story. i think it is problematic for wallace loh, and my sense is i don't know if it's month or years, but whatever it is, i've got to believe the entire leadership at maryland will be gone. this is such a big story, broken by espn, of course. such a tragedy. such a dereliction of duty of taking care of the kids, the parents bring their kids to school and say for the next four years you'll care for my child, and they didn't tdo that. i think this is as big a deal at maryland as the len bias tragedy of years ago. >> i can't believe on some level that we are still hearing about these problems with everything
4:32 am
we know about the safety of these players that needs to be taken, about heatstroke and practicing in extreme heat as we've seen. this has happened before. why on earth is it still happening, and -- and help us understand it's not just the university of maryland. i mean, how expansive are these problems in other universities? >> well, and you're asking this -- the way you asked it, i think you're speaking for every person in the country. how in the world is this still happening to our children in this country of ours? i think it's probably happening in other players to some degree or other. when asked about the maryland coach in this situation, instead of expressing sadness, regret for the loss of a young 19-year-old, no, it immediately turned on the media and said it was gutness anonymous -- gutless anonymous sources. that was the reaction of the head coach at another school after knowing about the death of
4:33 am
this man. and they're not even focused on it. took him 48 hours to be able to finally talk about the loss of jordan mcnair. so i think there's a culture, a mindset, and we all kind of lead into it, and encourage it because, of course, if you're buying season tickets, cheering your team, we love our college football. there can be love of college football and sanity in terms of how we treat these players. >> what happens now? i mean, is there a plan? is there any overseeing board that is trying to craft some sort of plan or protocol for all universities to deal with this? >> no. no, there's not. i thought when the penn state story broke, the jerry sandusky horrors in 2011, i thought we might see a group of 20 select university presidents come together in an extraordinary meeting and say, okay, this is broken, we need to fix this, because that was all around the college football program at penn state. never happ
4:34 am
pushed back, and the ncaa ended up pushing back. i'm not throwing up my hands and saying there's nothing to be done. i'm saying so far the leaders of our college football programs around the country, they are -- they seem to be reticent to do anything. maybe it takes a tragedy like this, that this young man and his parents, you see them on tv, such wonderful people, you see their hurt, their pain. maybe it's jordan mcnair that finally rings that bell loud enough so that people are paying attention. >> not only that, but maybe it is cleaning house so to speak, as you said. the leaders there most likely. we know coach durkin's on leave, athletic staff, other staff on leave, head stretch coach rick court is gone. how pantsive -- how expansive do you think this might be at the university of maryland? >> the head coach, it's hard to imagine him coming back, and i don't think he should. it was his culture, according to espn, the culture of fear and intimidation with the players that may well have led to jordan
4:35 am
mcnair feeling that he couldn't stop the sprinting, that he couldn't stop because he would be vilified and criticized by the coaching staff and the strength coach. the strength coach is gone. you know, i think it's probably going to be little steps. obviously maryland will be an example, a test case. i think a lot of universities will use it around the country. and say don't do this. but there's a long way to go here. i don't want to sound too negative because college football can be great. and young men learn a lot from the game. and -- and you know, i know you cheered for your toledo rockets, and i grew up in toledo cheering for them, too. this -- this is not about bashing college football. this is about making this safer for our children. i think you can have both. the love of football and a sane and wonderful management of these young people in the coach's care for those four or five years. >> i think a lot of people agree with you. i'm behind you, too. christine brennan, always good to see you, thank you, ma'am. >> thank you very much.
