thank you and welcome to inside politics. thank you for sharing your day with us. president trump is at the g-20 summit in argentina, but his anger traveled with him. witch hunt returns to the twitter feed as robert mueller's new moves focus on business deals and possible collusion. the agenda is full of tension. the president met with japan's prime minister after signing a deal with canada and mexico. the biggest challenge is china. presidents trump and xi have dinner plans to talk things over. not all too willing to size up some for republican colleagues. >> he's not very friendly. ted cruz has gotten more friendly. very rude of me to name names,

but what the hell, right? >> a way to go out. we begin with denials and deflections as special counsel more and more narrows his focus on president trump. his election year dealings with russia. this hour the president in argentina attending to business at a global summit with huge consequences. but, judge the president by his tweets and his mind is very much back here in washington. his attention fixed on the investigation he calls a witch hunt. very legal and very cool of his decision to run his business while running for president. lightly is how the president described his interest in a trump tower moscow project. they will test both of those statements as evidence as part of the plea deal. he faces doubt about whether the president is telling the truth. he misled congress and the president responded by calling cohen a weak person. he said he is inventing a story

to get a break. >> you take a look at his written document. go back and look at what he wrote in i think january. he has a written statement. that's the fact. >> that's important what the president said. cohen's initial account was the truth, but mueller has e-mails to support cohen's new version of events. that's not the president's only problems. giuliani said there was no contra diction between what cohen admitted to mueller and the president's written answers to the special counsel. if you take that literally, always a danger with giuliani, then the president was lying all through the 2016 campaign and yesterday in his public comments about the moscow project timeline. jeff is live in argentina. the president's anger traveled with him and i understand the white house press secretary taking focus at the special counsel today. >> no question about it. there is this ripple effect that

followed the president largely because he made clear what was on his mind, sending out the messages and focusing on the mueller investigation. the president was meeting with shinzo abe, he was asked by reporters about that potential meeting with putin. he said the sole reason it was canceled was the incident in ukraine with the russian navy capturing some sailors there. there is reason to believe it is more to that. look at the white house press secretary's own statement that gives a clear window into what is on the president's mind. she said the russian witch hunt hoax that hopefully is nearing the end and doing very well. unfortunately it does undermine our relationship with russia. that's very important. it does undermine our relationship with russia. the reason for the canceled meeting is ukraine.

hopefully that will be resolved so meetings can begin. this has impacted the president's day job and impacted the ability to have important conversations on the world stage. what's unusual about this, the president had many opportunities to speak out directly about the ukraine situation. he has almost never done so. he talked a couple of times, but not with the condemn nation. if he is concerned about ukraine, some would argue why not have a meeting with him and discuss this face-to-face. the president as of now, not wanting to meet face-to-face with vladimir putin. the only thing that changed are the headlines from the russia investigation that are very much in the news as well. >> that's an under statement. keep in touch with us. a busy schedule. with united states in studio is eliana johnson with politico. cnn's manu raju.

i want to come back to start with the president's tweets where he said what's the big deal? i was running for president and there is nothing wrong with having my business while running for president. that's what the president says. it's all good and legal. he ignores that as a candidate for president, he was calling for easing sanctions on russia. as a candidate for president, if they were negotiating a deal into noon and possibly telling vladimir putin you can have the penthouse first reported by buzz feed and then cnn, that violates federal corruption laws. you can't do that. the president leaves that stuff out. >>a part of what is important about this whole russia story is not taking pieces individually and looking at them individually. when you do that and slice it off and look at any one thing like the president wants to do, you can strhrug and say that's t

illegal and it didn't really violate any laws or ethical considerations, the difference is when you start putting the pieces all together and look at the connection as you said, what are the connections between his business dealings and foreign policy pronouncements and the campaign decision and it is linkages between wikileaks and what they did. the problem for the president is the last year or so, it has been dribbling out in little pieces. bob mueller is putting the pieces together. bob mueller is trying to connect all the dots. ultimately, i guess the expectation is we will all see that picture that was put together and that's when the president will be at the most risk. >> he must know it was distasteful and not illegal. during the 2016 election, he said over and over and over again, i have no business dealings with russia and nothing

is going on with him. he said there was nothing abnormal about this. i was conditioning my business in case i lost the election. you can't say both things. he is contradicting himself. he is flip flopping. the dishonesty about this seems to suggest that this was not above borders. he felt something was not above in his stance and his policy towards russia which was to be friendly towards vladimir putin and not the typical republican stance while not disclosing that he was pressing for a business deal in russia throughout the republican primary campaign. it reminded me of objections towards the clinton foundation. booking beaches for bill clinton with foreign countries getting him to speak and campaigning for president and again, may not be illegal, but it creates at least

the impression of conflicts of interest and this is worse, i think. precisely the same objection. >> the big question is, why do people in the trump orbit keep lying about key elements about what happened. if there was nothing wrong about it r it, he acknowledges he did lie because he will help with the political narrative and that's why he lied about his conversations with the russian ambassador. learning more about contacts with roger stone and wikileaks. he denied any of that. there could be others. donald trump, jr. testified before the senate judiciary committee when he met with them, suggesting that the trump tower moscow project ended much earlier than what michael cohen acknowledged in federal court. that's the question going forward. why with all the lies? the cliché may be accurate.

the cover up is worse than the crime. >> we learned very little because mueller doesn't leak. we are trying to figure out what is he trying to tell us. now we have the cohen plea deal. he confirmed to cnn about one idea considered for the proposed trump tower moscow was to offer vladimir putin the penthouse, according to felix sater. that is a way to essentially get the regulatory system greased. get this greased. he said he wants it, you get it greased. this is interesting to me. a columnist in the new york post said what are they doing? why are people picking on president trump? today i'm not such a skeptic. for starters, we know between the plea deal and the special

counsel, robert mueller they were seeking business opportunities as trump was securing the gop nomination. given the nature of both trump and putin, the ideas might have been discussed and is it possible to dismiss? even out here in the world of commentary, mueller is breaking through, if you will, as he gets closer to the top of the pyramid. >> i can tell you from a hill standpoint, democrats in the house let go of this discussion for a long time. they were focusing on potential obstruction of justice and the president's interaction with the justice department and now after this week with all these new revelations, they are 100% saying collusion again. there seems to be evidence of collusion. they are once again grasping back on that. >> another interesting dynamics, there for still calls with jeff flake mostly democrats saying we

do the year in spending bills. look at what happened yesterday. if he wanted to block robert mueller, he has the authority to do so and he didn't. this is in the "washington post." the regulations do not require them to approve such debts. the attorney general can request that they explain a step being taken and can conclude that an action is so unwarranted that it should not be pursued. we don't know about this in part and put this on mr. whitaker, he has not explained if he is hands off or hands on. he is not publicly explained. he owes the american people, but he did not throw himself in front of the train yesterday. will that give them pause in the effort to think he is a problem? >> if he did do something to interfere, he would have to acknowledge it in writing. that could be a focus of further investigation that could put him in hot water. perhaps he wanted to avoid that.

he can't just do whatever he wants. he is going to be held accountable for his actions. it's a risky thing for him to step in front of something like this for a plea deal. >> i believe his o passity with how he stands, if he is going to say i'm not going to interfere, that will set trump off. i believe his stances that he is not going to interfere. he can't say that if he wants to keep his job with trump. that's why i believe he is being trady about this publicly. i agree he owes an explanation if he wants to keep his job. that's an example of the position we have seen the president put his secretaries in even if they want to answer the question. did russia influence the election? they can't do it if they want to keep their jobs or remain in good standing with the president. >> the deal was far along and if you are looking to see whether whitaker may do things to hamper

the investigation, it's probably more likely to be things that are earlier in the process. that's easier to stop and make justification about stopping than something that appears to have been far along. >> agree, however in this case he seemed to at least let it go forward. stay with us. we will be tested in weeks ahead. the special counsel team to michael's team. after they said paul manafort lie and broke his plea deal. from the first loving touch everything that touches your baby should be this comforting pampers swaddlers, the #1 choice of hospitals, is 2x softer and wraps your baby in our most premium protection so every touch is as comforting as the first pampers the #1 choice of hospitals, nurses & parents

welcome back. attorneys for paul manafort and the special counsel are back in court to set a sentencing date for the former campaign chairman after mueller said that manifort lied repeatedly after making a plea deal. manafort was not in the courtroom, but he will be on march 5th. they told the judge they have not decided if they will charge him with counts for lying or

take him to trial on previous counts now that the agreement evan perez is at the courthouse and joins our conversation. we were talking the last conversation. it's easy to get confused or distracted. manafort is key to the bigger picture. was there collusion or business dealings and was he involved in any shenanigans. what was the biggest take away this morning? >> the biggest take away is that the special counsel has said this is big chunks of what mueller found in his investigation. a lot of us have been waiting 18 months for this investigation. you can begin to see the strategy is to the president

explains about something being a witch hunt and overshadowing his presidency. >> does he have anything to connect manafort with his past in ukraine and others. he came into the campaign. we know he was at the trump tower meeting organized by donald, jr. as we now know what mueller is looking at, business interests and trump tower moscow and

possible wikileaks. you look at things people said, on the question of russia business dealings. >> to be clear, mr. trump has no relationships with russian oligarchs. >> that's what he said and obviously what my position is. >> that's what he said, that's what i said. that's what our position is? >> should have known right there. >> that was right around the same time. on the position on ukraine. what happened in the 2016 campaign. >> you have a candidate who watered down the platform to make it less tough on russia when it comes to interference.

you have a candidate who said maybe obama is wrong and maybe we should ease and remove the sanctions on russia. this is how you try to connect the dots. why did he say the trump tower moscow deal he originally said ended in january. before iowa and he stop and he was a candidate. he said i made these out of loyalty to individual one. individual one is donald j. trump, about to be nominee for president, now president of the united states. >> the reason why the president is acting the way he is and you can see from his tweets what is on his mind, he and his legal team believe that what you are seeing emerge is a narrative from the mueller team. they may never charge anybody significant with an actual

crime. they have a narrative of a collusion case of what they believe they found. they are concerned because they don't get to respond. the judge declares them to be facts. the president can't be charged with a crime. that's their concern. mueller is going after the president and doing it in a health way. >> one of the way the president is doing it, he thinks mueller is going after his family and business as well. that's what the president complains about. he told the "new york times" he had a red line if mueller got into his finances or business, multiple sources confirmed that the president's eldest daughter ivanka and eldest son don, jr.

were working to make trump tower moscow a reality. they asked questions about their work on trump tower moscow. brings it into the family. >> a smart person said to me that the mueller strategy is like the mob. he may never touch trump. he is going after the people he loves. that is clearly getting under the president's skin. we don't know how this will shake out legally for the president. it's having an impact on his presidency. the president is having a lot of difficulty conducting foreign policy while the shadow of this probe is hanging over him. robert mueller indicted 12 russians the day before they left for helsinki. what was arguably the worst moment of his presidency, this was announced the day before he left and cause the problem to call off a meeting with vladimir putin. that is hanging over an enorm s

enormous, the plea deal is hanging over another global summit and tremendously affecting the art of the presidency. he claims he can't have a foreign policy with russia while this is ongoing and that gets under his skin. >> to the point with prime minister abe, saying it was the basis of russians and ukraine was the sole reason he canceled the meeting. he doesn't want to meet with putin. president trump does get a trade wind at the g-20 with the new nafta replacement. here's what nancy pelosi would like to be speaker come january, here's her take on the deal. >> whatever they are calling it now -- the trade agreement formerly known as prince. no. i earn unlimited 2% cash back on everything i buy. and last year, i earned $36,000 in cash back.

♪ a celebration at the g-20 summit and a reminder that trade tensions are everywhere as president trump deals with other major powers. the big event was the signing of the u.s. canada trade agreement. the president can get congress to embrace it. smiles and reminders of the bruising negotiations to get this deal. and reminder this is deal does

not end every neighborhood trade fight. >> the president i must say pena nieto and prime minister trudeau, we have taken a lot of bashes. a little abuse. and we got there and it's great for all of our countries. >> prime minister trudeau noting no intentions with canada and those are dwarfed with the trade stair down with washington. the president has a working dinner tomorrow night. there is a path to dial back the u.s.-china trade war and the president said he is not sure he wants to reach a deal before tariffs against chinese goods kicking in january 21st. that is the fascinating question. i want to come back to the trudeau issues. the president said he sees good signs heading into the meeting.

many aides said look at the foreign economy and the election in the midwest. it's time to hit the pause button. this was the president just yesterday saying we have an idea to get out of this, but i'm not sure i want to do it. >> i think we are very close to doing something with china and i don't know that i want to do it because what we have right now is billions and billions of dollars coming into the united states in the form of tariffs or taxes. i really don't know. i think china wants to make a deal and i'm open to making a deal. frankly i like the deal we have right now. >> is he just negotiating with xi or himself? with his own team, if you will. >> they just don't know when and if they can trust his word to be his word. you will remember he signed with

the other world leaders and not the least of them, the communique, the agreement that all of the world leaders left on them and promptly rescinded the agreement and took it back. the signing of the new trade deal is a step in the right direction from the perspective of other world leaders. we got him to a point where he signed his name on a deal. that's exactly the opposite. when the world leaders sit down, they don't know from day to day or minute to minute. >> it makes sense for him to talk tough until he's got something to show and concessions from the chinese to hold up and say this is what i got. the president was successful and a lot of republicans were not sure he was going to be able to renegotiate. the reason she was able is because of the tough talk.

because he was talking tough, if we don't have a new deal, i'm going to blow it up. a huge campaign promise. >> whether or not they can get ratified. and they will not be able to get this done. it's when the democrats take control of the house. you can't amend it because of the rules. you have to accept it. will naps agree to that? she suggested that she needs to see the details herself. it's going to be difficult to fill that promise. >> they have complaints about

how they affected it back home. he is willing to take the turbulence to get china who is a bad actor for decades back to the table. no matters should point to do all the giving without getting anything in return. they want a deal and able to cooperate with concerns about trade if they are fair minded. such as taking advantage of the trades with the chinese growth and an agreement is unlikely to be reached. saying we have our limits. they are warning the president not to push for too much. our economy is teetering, too. be careful. >> that's right. >> trump has how much money is going in versus how much is going out. there others and steve bannon who said china is the primary

geopolitical threat. that's really what the address is and obama viewed china. it's unclear to me and i should say within the trump administration it's mike pence who has been sounding the notes. and i think the "new york times" had a new cold war with china rather than russia. unclear whether the president views china as a foe or if it's a trade issue for him. >> as we go to break, will the tradition here play out today with the supreme court and justices taking a break for the annual class photo. you see the newest member, justice brett kavanaugh.

>> we have shared democratic values. japan and india together. we will go for world piece and stability. both of countries are strategic partners. >> you are listening to the translation and meeting with the prime minister of india. on your right on the screen. the left of your screen is prime minister abe of japan. trade economic development issues are a big concern for the president as he has this meeting in argentina, saluting two of his friends and a meeting in which the president canceled. he decided to minimize a meeting with the president of south korea and the president of turkey. two men he has much better

relationships with. the prime minister of japan and prime minister of india. we were talking earlier. this normally is the big trade, economic development, and always something. whatever else is happening in the world, the saudi crown prince is at this meeting. everyone is waiting to see. he is mad. he thinks robert mueller is trying to mess with him. there giant trade issues with japan and india. a little bit of tensions. we were talking about this and he began a photo op with the president, congratulating the president on his giant mid-term victory. the president's party was

shellacked and he is trying to stay nice. >> there was real concern. there would be concern about come to the lawmakers. their concern is far more about tariffs and trade than american policies in north korea. it's fascinating how much the president's attitudes are having a global impact and overshadowing his policies in north korea. >> with every president, the personal is pair mount. you get along with your fellow leaders. he is close with xi. he has big issues, big problems, if you will, in both relationships, he said the president held fast. you may not like it and he held

fast and said you are my friend and you may not like it. he is also willing to risk these relationships, right? that seems to be his mo. he talks about how great the relationship is with xi at the same time he is willing to push tariffs that are infuriating to xi. it's a back and forth between you are my friend and not my friend. that seemed so far to at least bear fruit both in the north korea setting and the trade agreements. >> it's face fascinating to see trump deals with people privately and publicly. often times he criticized people here in washington. when he meets with them

face-to-face, he is different. more polite and a friendly relationship that goes back and forth. one thing privately and one thing in person. they may not understand that and the japanese prime minister's praise of the election victories is an example of how they are figuring out how to handle donald trump and one of the ways is praise him. and that works. >> that's why we are all so fascinated by the global conferences to see how the president relates to global leaders and how they relate to him in turn. the fact that they figured him out or not. we all love to do that. >> as we take a break, we are tracking breaking news.

that claim they felt it and felt decent shaking, not just light shaking. around this vicinity, you will have a lot of people this particular earthquake was at a depth of around 40 kilometers. a lot of these numbers will adjust in the short minutes after it takes place. they have to take a look at all of the data. again, for reference, this is anchorage. all of this yellow area you see here is people that felt strong or very strong shaking. the green areas indicate light or moderate shaking. the further you get from that particular epicenter, obviously the lighter shaking you are going to feel. this particular earthquake, a 6.6 is the latest numbers that we have give or take 40 kilometers. that's relatively shallow, but anything that is 70 or less, we consider to be shallow.

the shallower an earthquake, the more likely you are to feel it. if there were a threat, the shallower the earthquake. that will have an impact. the papers that we were given based on all available data as of now, there is no tsunami threat from this earthquake, but they will continue to monitor it. there could be aftershocks. there likely to be aftershocks from this. they will have several in the four and five range. some of those will have to be monitored for the threat. the aftershocks do not consider at the exact same location. they can be several miles away, putting some of them perhaps under water. these are things we will have to keep a close eye on in the coming minutes and any damage reports coming in as well in the coming minutes. >> we will keep on top of that. continue to track what happens here and get word from alaska officials as well. appreciate the hustle. we'll be right back.
