a weekend that's support to represent the virtues of world peace. a report says donald trump not only knew about hush-money payments to two women but was directly involved in the payments and process to get the stories killed. >> my client is tired of being called a liar. with each passing month we get closer and closer to judgment day. this is "new day weekend" with victor blackwell and christi paul. >> good saturday to you. president trump is in parsz right now -- in paris right now as world leaders commemorate 100 years since the end of world war ii. >> he touched town and tweeted slamming the french president for calling for a giant eu army to handle threats from china and russia. >> they were all friends when they meet a while ago. president trump declaring cooperation between the countries saying they have much in common. >> meanwhile, the "wall street

journal" is reporting this morning president trump was central to hush-money payments made to stormy daniels and karen mcdougal, two women whom he allegedly had affairs with. >> and the man he's put in place to lead the justice department, acting attorney general matt whitaker, reportedly has ties to a florida company being investigated by the fbi. yes, the same agency whitaker now oversees. we want to start in paris. melissa bell outside the palace there where president trump and his french counterpart are having lunch right now. >> good morning you to. >> reporter: good morning. it was a pretty frosty meeting to begin with. that atmosphere, that mood between the two presidents pretty grim, rather like the weather in paris this morning. emmanuel macron apparently trying to cushion the blow because there was this sort of perplexed reaction on the part of europe when that tweet came

through overnight, that aggressive, belligerent tone from the american president. and so macron -- as the meeting began -- chose to craaddress it immediately in a way he said it shouldn't be a threat but it's about burden sharing. have a listen. >> i do share president trump's views that we need a much better burden sharing within nato. and that's why i believe that my proposals for european defense are consistent with that because it means more europe in nato, more capacity, in order to take our part of the burden. i think it's fair and important. >> i appreciate what you are saying about burden sharing. you know what my attitude's been, and we want a strong europe. it's very important to us to have a strong europe. whichever way we can do it the best and most efficient would be something that we both want.

>> reporter: now the mood very different clearly from the last time the american president visited paris. so much has happened since. and that relationship between macron and donald trump that had begun so strong, that begun among such genuine warmth, has taken a turn for the worse. in particular what appears to have really cost a great deal was the american decision on the tariffs. something emmanuel macron had been trying to convince donald trump to think about. that never worked. since then the relationship has been much testier. each now during the bilateral, and we're waiting to hear more about what they talked about and what room for agreement they might have found on issues from trade to iran and syria. a lunch, though, that will perhaps warm up that mood a little bit first of all. >> all right. we'll see. melissa, thank you very much. cnn's white house correspondent, kaitlan collins, is also there in paris. hello to you.

any idea what the president might have had, leaving the domestic issues behinds, they evach rat e-- evan rated quickly and started with tweets during his flight to paris. >> reporter: the president sent several tweets on the six-hour flight over here as he's trying to put physical distance between he and his problems back home. it really hasn't been a banner week for president trump. not only did he fire sessioatto general jeff session, he's dealing with scrutiny over he picked to replace sessions, even if only temporarily at the justice department. that's matt whitaker. coming under scrutiny for whether or not he has the experience to run this department because he could be there up to 210 days, and whether or not his past comments about the russia investigation warrant him recusing himself from overseeing it. the president isn't only dealing with that. minutes after he took was on air

force base once -- air force one to come over, the "wall street journal" published that story saying president trump was not only aware of the payments made to women to get their silence during his presidential campaign, that he was involved in every step of the way. now that is not what his legal team says. they are denying that. that is what the "wall street journal," who has been reporting on this largely ever since earlier this year, has said. the president is dealing with both of those issues, but also some issues he's creating of his own. as the votes are still being counted after tuesday's midterm elections, president trump accusing election officials in arizona and florida of rigging the vote. now the president said exactly what he believes is -- hasn't said he what believes has happened but suggests recalls, re-elections in states that he doesn't think votes are being counted accurately. a federal official getting involved in the state elections. so the president has all of this going on as he's coming here to

celebrate the 100th anniversary of the end of world war i. he's not going to be the only leader in paris facing problems at home. the french president is incredibly unpopular with his constituents. british prime minister theresa may is facing this brexit deadline that is fast approaching with seemingly no solution in hand. and of course the german chancellor angela merkel has announced she is not going to run for re-election. the president has a lot of problems that he's got going at home. he's going to be in washington quickly, but he's in good company while in paris. >> kaitlan collins, great wrap-up. thank you. in a few hours the florida secretary of state will decide if there will be recounts in the races for senate and for governor there. now that means it could take an entire month before those winners are declared. >> and then there's georgia. >> yes. >> uh-huh. the candidates for governor are

going to have to wait until at least next week for any word on a recount there when all of the provisional votes are counted. both states had been plagued by accusations of voting irregularities, tampering, and suppression. >> let's focus on florida now. correspondent jessica dean is in lauderhill. good morning. walk us through, give us an idea of what will happen there today. >> reporter: good morning to both of you. there's a lot at play in florida. let's give you what's coming up first. we've got this noon deadline today, the most important piece in all of this. at noon, every county is expected to submit their unofficial vote count. and from there, the secretary of state's office can determine if it reaches that .05% margin in any race, haas what's going to chicago -- that's what's going to trigger a recount. that is expected in the governor's and senate race. now, if you narrow it from there, you come to where we are in broward county, near ft. lauderdale.

and this is the broward county's supervisor's office for election, brenda snipes. there's no criminal activity that's been found. law enforcement is not investigating criminal activity in this process. the department of state says they haven't had -- they haven't found any of that. there have certainly been a lot of talks about incompetence surrounding all of this. and that's where this comes into play here in broward county. brenda snipes is the -- over all of the elections. there's concern about how these votes have brown counted, where the votes have been -- have been counted, where the votes have been, provisional ballots. we met with the canvassing board that went on for hours and hours where it was straight out of 2000. they were taking individual ballots and looking at bubbles versus checkmarks, voter intent, trying to discern if this was a valid vote, if that was a valid vote. they are certainly going through all of this with a fine-tooth comb. and there are lawsuits missiled. a lot of lawsuits.

we've got -- lawsuits involved. a lot of lieflawsuits. we've got various pieces of all of the puzzle. there was a hearing yesterday in which the judge said to snipes that all of the information needed to be given to the rick scott campaign by 7:00 p.m. yesterday. snipes said that that happened. the scott campaign said they didn't get what they wanted. a lot of back and forth. what we're looking at if you look at the big picture, we've got to get to noon today, and that's where we'll see where we go next. >> we will go somewhere next. thank you very much. let's go from the race in florida to arizona. and right now democratic candidate kyrstin sinema has increased her lead over mcsally by more than 20,000 votes.

smain has 49 -- sinema has 49.3%. mcsally at 48.3%. that's with 84% of the votes there certified. thousands of people are evacuating because homes and buildings are engulfed. look at the latest pictures we have coming in from california. we'll tell you what's going on with those massive wildfires. plus, new details in the hush-money scheme surrounding president trump and adult film star stormy daniels. the "wall street journal" saying then-candidate trump was involved in the payments. alexa, play weekend mix. the new lincoln mkc. connecting the world inside, with the world outside. so you can move through both a little easier.

this morning at least nine people are dead as three american legion bridmajor wildfires rage out of control in california. in the north the camp fire has burned nearly 90,000 acres destroying homes and businesses in the town of paradise. >> we want to take you to

southern california here, the will and woolsly fires. look at the -- the hill and woolsly fires. look at the images, more than 100,000 have had to evacuate. >> kaylee hartung, what are you seeing in oak park? >> reporter: you smell the fire long before you see the flames or the damage that it's left behind. the winds have been shifting nonstop, making these fires incredibly difficult to fight. the home behind me that's been destroyed, an example of how indiscriminate the embers have been. >> we are evacuating paradise, california. we can't even see, we don't know where the fire is. please, please -- please pray for us that we get out of here okay. oh, my god. >> reporter: a desperate drive out of the flames for one family escaping from the town of paradise. a town that's been almost wiped off the map by the large camp fire in northern california.

>> i hope mom's going to be all right. god, it's so hot. >> i know, baby. hold on. see -- >> it will be all right. we just -- we'll be okay. >> reporter: the camp fire is one of three major wildfires roaring through california this morning. and it's being called the most destructive fire in state history with almost 7,000 structures gone in two days. homes, schools, businesses, and more. the camp fire is also one of the deadliest wildfires according to state officials, killing at least nine people with dozens missing. >> we are a long ways from being out of the fire-fight, our focus is on life safety. there are active rescues continuing to go on all of these fires, and in particular the camp fire in butte county. >> reporter: two major fires in southern california are just miles from the bar where 12 people were killed in a mass shooting in thousand oaks. and evacuations were ordered for nearby malibu. the beachside city popular with celebrities. cher tweeted, i'm worried about my house, but there is nothing i

can do. friends' houses have burned. i can't bear the thought of there being no malibu. i've had a house in mall by since 1972. lady gaga tweeted, i am thinking so deeply for everyone who's sufferinged to from these abominable fires and grieving the loss of their homes and loved ones. i'm sitting here with many of you wondering if my home the burst into flames. all we can do is pray together and for each other. god bless you. meanwhile, that same fire threatening malibu, the woolsly fire, have burned down the mountains where parts of the series "west world" were filmed. >> to give you into how urgent the situation is. kaylee hartung had to leave, police telling her to get out of the area. everybody, stay safe. some of the images that we see -- can you imagine being in that car, that truck, and that's what you see trying to get out of that area? and wondering, when you're going to pass through it and finally

open up to some clear skies. >> at some point, i don't know if we can rerack this now, but i want to hear the audio. i know what this woman is saying. do we have that ability? >> so powerful. can we do that? >> heavenly father, please help us. please help us to be safe. i am thankful for jeremy and his willingness to be brave. >> every time i listen to an interview with this woman, earlier today, she said every time it got through -- now you see it's daylight, right. you can't imagine while you're

in it that this is the middle of the day. >> right. >> every time they got past some flames, there was another -- there was another challenge. and i mean, it aep's a good thi they know this road. you can barely see a few yards in front of you. >> no. absolutely, and they did obviously get out. >> yeah. she lost her home, her rescues lost their homes. i think businesses -- >> staying with their in-laws because they were the only ones that still have a home standing. >> yeah. >> cnn meteorologist allison chinchar is with us now. and this is officially the most destructive wildfire in california history, yes? >> yes. and i want you to understand that superlative alone sounds impressive. understand what the previous number one was and how far we have actually overcome that previous number one. the most destructive wildfire in california history had been the tubbs fire from just last year. that was 5,600 structures. we're now at 6,700. we beat the old one by over

1,000 structures. the wildfires if not have the time to assess the entire area, the number could go up. the weather is not going to cooperate. this is a look at today. we've got elevated and critical fire threat for both northern california and southern california. meaning you've got the strong winds, the incredibly low humidities. we will get a slight brans. a little weak -- slight break. a little weak onshore flow for southern california. this will give the firefighters the best chance they have in the next 72 hours to bring containment numbers up. starting tomorrow, we actually see that flow change. we're now going to go up to extreme fire threat in southern california starting tomorrow as those winds begin to increase and it's going to be that very dry, hot air coming through. again, unfortunately, not only spreads the fires that are already currently there but can also trigger additional fires on top. what we have. the two main ones we've been covering, this is the camp fire, the one in northern california.

painf basically between san francisco and redding. that's 5% contained. the woolsly fire is northwest of los angeles. that's at 0% contained. the key for firefighters is the next 12 hours, the best window to jump the containment numbers up. >> we know how exhausted they have to be already. >> the shifts go very long. there's a lot of work to do. alclison -- allison chinchar, thank you very much. buying silence. the "wall street journal" reporting that federal prosecutors believe then-candidate donald trump personally directed the payment of hush-money silence to two women about their alleged affairs with him.

glad to have you with us. i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. good to be with you. reports suggest that then-candidate donald trump was personally involved in the payment. hush money to stormy daniels and karen mcdougal during the 2016 campaign. >> cnn's m.j. lee has the details on his alleged role in the scheme. >> reporter: new details implicating the president in two infamous hush payments. the "wall street journal" reporting that during the 2016 campaign, donald trump closely coordinated with american media,

inc., chairman, david pecker, to silence two women who claimed they had affairs with trump. federal prosecutors, according to the "journal" had enough evidence to outline trump's role without naming him in an indictment of michael cohen. trump reportedly asked pecker to kill a story involving "playboy" model karen mcdougal. she claims to have had a long-running affair with trump. >> maybe if he weren't married, i wouldn't have regret because he treated me very viend. he was respectful -- very kind. he was respectful. it was a good relationship. it i known at the time there were supposedly all these other women, no, i wouldn't have been in the relationship. >> reporter: trump was involved in or briefed on nearly every step of the agreements, according to the "journal." he directed deals and phone calls and meetings with his self-described fixer michael cohen and others. >> obviously very loyal and very dedicated to mr. trump. >> reporter: cohen pleaded guilty to eight criminal counts in august, including two counts of campaign finance violations. co-toenld the court it was at

trump's direction that he facilitated the secret payments. prosecutors said cohen coordinated with one or more members of the campaign. and this secret recording obtained by senior citizen n july. >> i need to open up a company for the transfer of all of that info. regarding our friend david, you know, so that -- >> i'm going to do that right away. give it to me -- >> i've spoken to alan about how to set it up with -- >> what are we going do -- >> -- funding -- yes. and it's all the stuff, all the stuff. because here you never know where that company, never know -- >> maybe he gets hit -- >> correct. i'm all over that. and i spoke to alan about it. when it comes time for the financing which will be -- what financing? >> we'll have to pay for -- >> pay cash -- >> no, no, no, no. >> reporter: cohen and trump discussing a payment to mcdougal. cnn has reported that trump was also personally involved in

silencing daniels who also claims to have had a sexual encounter with trump. >> my attorney and i are committed to making sure that everyone finds out the truth and the facts of what happened. and i give my word that we will not rest until that happens. >> reporter: the new details of trump's intimate involvement clashing with previous denials from the president and the white house. >> mr. president, did you know about the $130,000 payment to stormy daniels? >> no. >> then why did michael cohen make this if there was no allegation -- >> you have to ask michael cohen. >> the president has denied the allegations. and i don't have anything else further to ad o that front. >> reporter: -- to add on that front. >> reporter: a source says that cohen was just doing his job and protecting his client. and stormy daniels' lawyer reacted that all of this is just further vindication that he and his client were right, all of this happening as cohen is meeting with various investigators and awaits the sentencing in december.

m.j. lee, cnn, new york. >> all right. joining me now, reporter and co-author of "politico playbook" daniel leadershipman, and former attorney for district of georgia, michael moore. welcome. i want to to talk about the hush-money reporting in a moment, but i've got a u.s. attorney in front of me. i want to start with the new acting attorney general. let's put up the op-ed co-written by george conway, husband of kellyanne conway, in which the title is "trump's appointment of the acting attorney general is unconstitutional." on the question of constitutionality, where do you stand? >> you know, that's -- it's a great question. i think there's a general debate about it. the bottom line is there has to be a determination of the law, whether or not the attorney general is a principal officer. and if so, then that requires senate confirmation. that's essentially what the op-ed said. so there's a reason for that. it's so people can look at somebody's background, determine if they have the character and

the experience and the decisionmaking ability to leave the department of justice or to be in a cabinet position. and that was just skated in this case. the problem, it makes everything that he does or everything that could happen under his watch questionable. so i think it's a great point they bring out. you know, they have -- we've had people debate before about recess appointments and other things where they try to get their insiders into the game. this looks like a pretty clear move by the president to get somebody in who sees the mueller investigation his way. senate confirmation is obviously something that we -- we think should have happened. >> daniel, more than op-eds and commentary and debate, is there any credible challenge that's coming from members of senate, from anyone who potentially will have standing in a case challenging the appointment? >> you've already seen some democrats say they're going to sue the president to block this. i think senator blumenthal from

connecticut raised that point. but i don't know how long whitaker's going to be in this job. he admitted he doesn't know either. so if trump decides on putting in chris christie or rudy giuliani, that would be a controversial pick. but maybe alex azar or acosta, the labor secretary, then you could subvert that and -- and this whitaker episode which is pretty controversial for trump given that he said he doesn't even know his own acting attorney general, then that might get in the rearview mirror. >> yeah. that's what he said this month. last month he said not only do i know him, he's a great guy. it doesn't make sense to say that you don't know the person you just appointed to be -- >> he's been in the oval office. >> yeah. the other element is cnn and outlets are reporting that whitaker has been to the white house dozens of times. >> sure. >> including in meetings with the president. they've spoken by phone. one more on whitaker before the hush-money element.

yesterday, michael, a federal appellate court judge ordered the special counsel robert mueller and the attorneys who are working to challenge a subpoena issued by mueller to explain how sessions' resignation and this appointment of whitaker could impact their case. do you see how the could impact their case? >> i think at some point the fear is that whitaker could try to shut down the investigation by narrowing the scope of mueller's authority, he could try to do it by some budget moves to cut the funding for the office. and so they may be looking at that point to determine whether or not the attorney general, the acting attorney general, now if he takes over the investigation, will he, in fact, occur toil mueller's activities -- curtail mueller's activities, and did the subpoena go beyond what the court, where the court thought it should have gone. so that may be one way before we get into whether or not the subpoena's in force. i think there are several moves we could see. i mean, whitaker could do it.

like you say, this guy's, you know, whether known by the president, not known by the president, whether he stays or goes, we don't -- we don't know yet. i imagine the courts who are looking at enforcing various aspects of the investigation are in the same quandary we are. >> daniel, let's talk about the hush money reporting from the "wall street journal" saying that the president according to this extended indictment that was actually pared down by a great percentage said that the president actually was involved step by step, took a personal role in the direction of these payments to women with whom he allegedly had affairs. the president has seemed to have not suffered any consequence during this entire saga from the initial reporting through what we're seeing today. is this different? >> it might be if it leads to a potential criminal charge or if there are legal consequences to this. you know, the "wall street journal's" talked about how

trump directed cohen to get it done. and and trump was not president, you can guarantee that prosecutors would likely charge someone who had committed this because, you know, the rule of law should apply to everyone, and we don't -- there's a reason we have campaign finance laws in the first place, which is to prevent people from just spending hundreds of thousands of dollars or telling their friends to do so to help a campaign that is just -- and without disclosure, then no one knows exactly who is influencing our elections. >> so michael, of course, i want you to weigh in on this. does this get to the point from your perspective, does it get to a point of charging potentially a form president? where does this go? >> campaign finance violations aren't often the priority for the department of justice in moving forward. what happens is it's the cover-up or the attempt to cover up what went on that leads to criminal charges or a bigger

problem. that's the problem trump has. every time he opens his mouth, he end up in this cesspool of untruth. that's why i think his lawyers are afraid for him to talk to mueller. that's why they didn't want him to be deposed and have a naughty case, the stormy daniels case, because it would be the attempt to cover up and the lies to effectuate that cover-up that cause him a bigger problem. i think that's what ultimately we might see lead to his downfall. >> thank you both. >> thank you. >> thank you. stay with us. we are talking about the two mass shootings in just two weeks which means families now, they've had it. they want tougher gun control. joining us to talk about it, north carolina state house representative kristi clark. stay with us.

42 minutes past the hour. two mass shootings in two weeks. now there are families of the victims of the thousand oaks massacre who want tougher gun control. all of this is happening while there's this new cdc study that is out now finding that gun-related death are on the rise in the u.s. north carolina district 98 state house representative kristi clark with us. she's one of the moms demand action volunteers. and she won, was elected to office just this week. congratulations. i need to say to you, as well. also with us, reporter for

"pro-publica," lois beckett, good to have you with us. she was on the scene for the march for our lives. i want to reference an article in "the new yorker" back in march, 2018, after parkland. they said, is this the moment when the politics of guns shift? this moment does feel different. largely because the teenage survivors of the parkland shooting have commanded the national stage with their raw and righteous indignation. this is when they thought things were -- this is when they thought things were going to change. fast forward to the last three weeks. october 24th, two people die at a shooting at a kroger in kentucky. october 27th, three days later, 11 people die in pennsylvania at a synagogue. on november 2nd, two people die in a florida yoga studio shooting. and then just this week, november 8th, 12 people are dead in california because of the borderline bar shooting. that's 27 people in three weeks. as leader of the north carolina chapter of moms demand action

you will talking to a lot of legislators at the time. now that you are one, how do you argue differently to have a different consequence for this now? >> well, you know, gun violence has become a public health crisis. and so when we're at the legislative table we have to remember these are real lives and real people being impacted. and then it's on us as representatives to do every single thing we can do to stop gun violence. we need to keep our children and families safe and their communities. and that means making significant changes to our laws that can keep guns away from the people who have a danger to -- who are a danger to themselves and to others. >> how do you argue that differently? that argument has been made. nothing has been changed since march of 2018 with parkland and all of this. as a legislator, can you do anything differently? >> what we can do is bring in the survivors of gun violence

and have them testify on what it's like to lose a family member or be personally impacted by gun violence. and because i'm connected to them through my experience with moms demand action, they will be at the forefront of the conversation when i am in the legislature. and it is imperative that we do something here and around the country. >> the question is if the nra is listening. lois, an article published by the american college of physicians says that gun violence is, quote, public health crisis that requires the nation's immediate attention. the nra reacted in a tweet saying, someone should tell self-important anti-gun doctors to stay in their lane. most upsetting, however, the medical community seams to have consulted -- seems to have consulted no one but themselves. listen to a trauma surgeon as he reacted to what the nra had to say there. >> for a group to simply dismiss

the medical community, that is on the front line of education tear -- fronts line taking care of patients, that is unacceptable. >> you have talked to people on both sides of the argument. is there a space for the gay rights activeits and medical community -- activists and medical community to remedy this? >> that nothing has -- nothing may have happened in congress, but on the state level, states across the country, red states and blue states, are passing laws and, in some cases, bipartisan laws. one of the real areas of progress that we've seen where we've seen some conservatives, doctors, medical professionals, gun violence prevention advocates all agree, is on these extreme risk protection orders or gun violence restraining orders. these red flag laws. these have passed in eight states since parkland, including in florida. and the idea is that law enforcement officials or family members should have a way to petition a court if someone that

they know seems danger us to temporarily take their -- dangerous to temporary take their guns in this moment of crisis, in a gape where someone is clearly disturbed but there may not be the evidence, that may not meet the standard to be voluntary committed. i think we talk about this being gay rights versus gun control, the nra versus gun control groups. but the real tension is between people who feel hopeless that there's nothing to be done and the people who are working to take action. the enemy here is not one group or the other, the real enemy is the feeling that there's nothing we can do to prevent this because there is. >> why would the nra dismiss somebody on the front lines of this? >> i think in a lot of the media conversation around this, there's often a demonization of gun owners. there's certainly a demonization of the nra, that these are people who don't care if children die, that they love guns more than their children. this is just not the case. i talk to gun owners and nra

members all the time. and this -- the rhetoric in this debate that they are the enemy is not helpful. i think doctors absolutely have a role to play here. but one of the things that i hear from some doctors and researchers is it's important for them to be educated in gun culture. it's important -- this is true whatever they're doing as doctors -- but to understand where people are coming from, understand the special olympics and t -- the specifics and the context of which people are owning weapons in the united states. that's a way to have a more effective conversation. >> okay. i'm sorry, christy, we've run out of time, thank you very much for being with us. >> thank you. >> thank you. coming up, former first lady michelle obama's highly anticipated memoir is out next week. and it's already stirring up controversy. tales of motherhood, marriage, troubles, and why she will never forgive president trump. your company is constantly evolving.
