on the world stage as working royals and go off and acting, taking a private income with a private venture? >> reporter: if the family can't agree with a new royal going forward, the sussexes may have consider leaving their royal roles altogether. >> thanks for joining us. anderson starts now. gonod evening. there is new video that appears to show a missile fired into the sky in tehran and hitting a moving object. we're going to play the entire clip. we're only going to show it very sparingly tonight and only when necessary to illustrate a particular point. you're going to first see what appears to be the missile moving

toward the plane and what appears to be an impact. about ten seconds later you'll hear the sound of the strike catching up to the location where the photographer is standing. again, 176 people were aboard the boeing 737, 63 were canadians. cnn cannot independently confirm that video, but the buildings in it appear similar to ones in the area where the plane went down. officials are saying the growing belief is that iran did in fact shoot it down, apparently by mistake. they say intelligence indicates that two russian-made anti-aircraft missiles were used and radar signals locking on to the plane were picked up at the time and discovered the morning

after but the data took another day to verify. the president's words hinted at something. >> it was flying a tt a pretty rough neighborhood and somebody could have made a mistake. people say it's mechanical. i personally don't think that's even a question personally. >> reporter: do you think it was shot down by accident? >> i really don't know. that's up to them. i have a feeling that it's just some very terrible -- something very terrible happened. very devastating. >> in a moment we'll get the latest from tehran and speak with experts in the aviation and intelligence fields. first let's go to jim acosta in the white house. what's the latest white house thinking on what caused the crash? >> they're pointing to the intelligence community. as you were just saying, the belief inside the u.s. intelligence community is that iran used russian-made surface-to-air missiles and shot down that ukrainian airliner.

now canadian and british fil officials are saying their intelligence agencies are telling them with certainty that is in fact what happened. the u.s. is not going as far as the canadians and british at this point but it doesn't take intelligence officials to tell you, anderson, that this is what happened when you have the unintended consequences of military conflict. >> and there's also the new rationale on why general soleimani was killed. this caught our attention earlier today when the president was talking to reporters, some of the same video you were showing a few moments ago, the president told reporters that soleimani was essentially taken out because the iranians were plotting to, what he said, he described as a plot to blow up the embassy in baghdad. now, earlier in the day administration officials were telling us, telling other news outlets that, no, the president was talking about the storming of the baghdad embassy at the end of last your.

and then late today just before 6:00, pentagon officials were telling reporters, no, in fact they have intelligence that leads them to believe that the iranians were actively plotting to blow up an embassy to use explosives to harm u.s. diplomatic personnel. anderson, we should point out the president is having a rally right now where he was just telling supporters in ohio that he suspects that the iranians were looking at what he called embassies, not just an embassy. so he's using a plural use of the term there. at this point, anderson, tonight it is very difficult to sort out what is coming from the intelligence community and what is coming just from the rhetoric from the president. obviously there was a conflict coming out of the administration today. the administration saying, no, no, this is just what the president was referring to, he was talking about this embassy storming that happened late last year and then the defense department said almost the exact opposite, that they believe

soleimani was planning to blow up an embassy. >> thank you very. breaking news out of iran tonight. a welcome development out of investigation. fred pleitgen has more on that. what are you learning, fred? >> reporter: the iranians said they were not going to let the u.s. participate, saying they were in charge. now apparently the ntsb is going to get involved in the investigation. the ntsb put out a statement saying they wouldn't speculate on any of the causes of the incident, but they are now saying they are going to send what they call an accredited representative to take part in this investigation. this obviously coming as the iranians earlier were saying that's absolutely not going to happen. now the iranians are saying they're allowing boeing and the ntsb to participate in this investigation. that certainly is welcomed news to try to move this investigation forward and to make it more transparent. >> you talked with the head of iran's civilian aviation

authority. what did he have to say? >> reporter: yeah, that was something that was really a stroke of luck bus he talked to us and he told us that he did not deny that potentially or possibly that airliner was shot down by an iranian missile. however, he did say he doubted it. he said the airline took off, flew for about five minutes and said it turned around and tried to make its way back to imaen khomeini airport. he said it would have plunged to the ground immediately if it was hit by a missile. we just saw the video that does seem to indicate that something may have been fired at that airliner and then you have the various intelligence services, including the u.s., canada and other allied intelligence services say they go do believe it could very well have been a surface-to-air missile that took down that airliner. the iranians also now saying

they are go to tomorrow try and decipher the black boxes of that plane. they said there's a team of ukrainians here, it was a ukrainian airliner that was shot down. they say one of the black boxes is badly damaged and they're not sure if they can get the information out of the black box. that's another reason why it's such welcomed news that they're allowing the ntsb to get on board as well, anderson. >> the ntsb, will they be allowed to examine the black box as well? early on they were saying nobody else would be abe to look at it the? >> that's unclear. essentially what we heard and this is direct from the head of the civil aviation authority, they say that they have the technology to read out the black boxes. however, they also say if the black boxes as badly damaged as they think, they're not sure whether their technology will be sufficient. they say they don't want to give

it to the u.s. they also said all the data, as they put it, that's on that black box, can be retrieved from that black box, will be made public for the world to see. that's the exact words of the head of the iranian aviation authority. >> richard, there's this video which we haven't been able to independe independently verify. there's wreckage on the ground, the black boxes, perhaps radar data. what's the most important at this point in the investigation? >> the most important is the wreckage, to some extent. the black boxes, you might have comments on the cockpit voice reporter and the telemetry on the black boxes will show sudden loss of power, they will show the aircraft responding as a

result of whatever happened. you will see engine parameters, you'll see all sorts of things like that within the black box. but they won't tell you what you need to know, which is what actually happened. and that will rest on the wrecka wreckage. the wreckage, you'll be able to tell if the aircraft was pulled apart, whether there is explosive resresidue, and sad t say the remains of those on board. they will also tell you what happened. getting to the wreckage independently and being able to verify that will be crucial. >> steve, as i've said, we're only showing this video very sparingly but from -- i'm wondering what you make of the video. we haven't been able to independently verify it. when you look at it, what do you see? >> you know, anderson, at this point it is indeed a little hard to tell exactly what's going on. we won't know probably until a

couple of days at least down the road. the imagery that we saw does seem to support a narrative that a missile was fired and that it did indeed take the plane down. but one thing that i think is sure, anderson, is that, you know, we have so many western intelligence services that were looking very, very closely at this area of the world given the events that have transpired over the past couple of days that there's no doubt in my mind that we have a whole lot of intelligence. we have an extremely close relationship with the canadian intelligence services and very special relationship with the u.k. intelligence services and we have our own capabilities. al of that would be looking at who is calling who and using what channels and what is the telemetry of what had been launched and not to mention human sources down the road will perhaps be able to give us a more complete picture of what happened.

one thing we won't be able to rely on is the iranian government, which is of course not a transparent government so we have to be very kaurs,cautio to what they say but i think the intelligence service knows what the real story is. >> would a commercial pilot be aware of a missile heading in their direction? i assume there's not kind of warning systems in commercial airlines for that sort of thing? >> no, this was an advanced airliner, only three or so years old, but nothing on board that aircraft would let them know they had become a target or that somebody was homing in on them with a missile. the system is built, anderson, to have radar make the determination. in other words, the transponder on the aircraft is send beisin specific codes that tell the world what it is and what it is

not. where the disconnect comes is the separation between the civilian air traffic control authorities all over the world and the military itself. and that particular surface-to-air missile battery that may have been involved in this or looks like it had been involved in this probably didn't have access to a lot of that data. it's as it if they were watching a 1965 black and white tv as opposed to high definition television. with that hair trigger alert and lack of data, mistakes can happen. >> richard, i was unaware that planes would be allowed to fly given the circumstances of what was happening in the region and only hours after missiles had been launched. >> and this is something that clearly will be close lily investigated. most major airlines have been avoiding iranian and iraqi airspace, u.s. carriers have banned from going across there.

i saw one confidential document from a european airline which talked about how they were going to circumvent those particular countries and the implications and where they were going to have to land and put fuel stops and extra staffing and all those sorts of things. why did ukrainian international airlines decide to fly that flight only a few hours after the missiles? that is an unnoboknown. that is a risky operation by that airline and we'll go to the core on one side of it. but when you talk about what happened in this particular incident, was it a missile or was it not? there is a very simple way the iranians can tell us. i mean, the iranians know, did they or did they not shoot it down? i suspect investigators all around the world are going to spend a lot of time trying to analyze third-party evidence when really the iranians have the answer pure and simple.

>> myles, is it known at this point whether -- i'm not exactly sure how that particular surface-to-air missile works, if it would hit a plane, explode nearby and send shrapnel into an aircraft? do you know if the aircraft essentially exploded in the sky or if it continued to fly or at least was sort of in tact as it headed to the ground? >> it is designed to explode in proximity of the aircraft. that's what we saw with that malaysian 777 shot down by the sale s same surface-to-air missile. they were able to triangulate using different microphones in the docock-a-doodle-ddoc cockpi. it was about a meter away from

the cockpit. so that's the way these weapons are designed. it is a very sudden and catastrophic event and that's why no radio call came from this particular aircraft or why we can suppose no radio call occurred in this case. if it had been a simple mechanical failure, an engine failure, the crew would most certainly have gotten a radio call out. >> thank you very much. just ahead, the smear campaign that republican lawmakers have launched accusing anyone who questions the president's decision in iraq and iran with supporting the terrorists overseas. we're going to talk about it with one former top law enforcement official who has had enough. and later new reporting on how soon we could see the president's impeachment trial begin. with esri location technology, you can see relationships.

more breaking news tonight. the house passing a resolution limiting the president's ability to go to war without approval. meantime the president is speaking out again tonight on his decision to kill the iranian general qassem soleimani without prior approval. >> so, you know, these are split-second decisions, you have to make a decision. so they don't want me to make that decision they want me to call up, maybe go over there. let me go over to congress. or come on over to the white house, let's talk about it. when can you make it? well, i won't be able to make it today, sir. let's say in a couple of days. oh, sure, come on over.

no. we got a call. we heard where he was. we knew the way he was getting there and we had to make a decision. we didn't have time to call up nancy, who is not operating with a full deck. >> that's the speaker of the house, second in line of success he's talking about. congresswoman, you were one of the co-sponsors of the war powers resolution that just passed the house. i wonder what the message is for those who voted against it? >> everyone has to make their own decisions. all this thing tried to say is if the president is going to stay in a protracted war with iran, he's going to have to come back to congress. what he just said is factually incorrect. the president always has the right to act in self-defense, the president always has the right as he sees fit as long as he notifies us within 48 hours.

after 60 days, if those troops are still there, he has to come back and say we're not in immediate moment, we're in war and i need authorization from congress. that's just the constitution. that's not something new that we made up. this bill today was just something to remind everybody that we should be debating things like war and peace and we should be following the constitution and authorizing war if that's what we're going to end up doing. the president always has the right to self-defense and i'm a big believer in that. >> sara sanders, the former white house press secretary criticized the resolution today saying she can't think of anything dumber than allowing congress to take over our foreign policy. that was an end quote. and that she doesn't think anything can be worse for america than that. what you're doing, as you said, is about the constitution. >> yeah, i guess i just feel like maybe for some people this is a theoretical exercise. my husband was in the army for 30 years. we actually met in baghdad when i was a cia officer, my step

daughter is a brand new army officer, my son-in-law is a brand new army officer. when we're talking about sending young men and women into war, we should be having a debate. we should be having a robust conversation. we should be talking about authorization of military force. this isn't a radical thing. so for me we were just reinforcing what the constitution says and anyone who says, you know, all this political stuff, they either don't have skin in the game or they don't understand that people's lives are involved here. >> today the president has said that the reason he decided to kill soleimani was because then was, quote, looking to blow up our embassy and at a rally said it was multiple embassies. no evidence has been provided and a number of senators on the republican side were clearly unhappy with the briefing they received just yesterday. is this a plot you were aware of before the president mentioned

it today? if this in fact was a plot? >> yeah, so i can't speak to what the president was speaking to. yesterday we had a briefing from secretary pompeo and secretary of defense esper, from the director of the cia, the same briefing that the senate had. they walked over to the house and gave the same classified briefing. i can't talk about the details. all i can tell you was that it was a bit thin. it did provide some new information and it was a bit thin and many of us were asking for follow-up, for more documents, for something we could read. i hope that's forthcoming. that's the way things should work. i can't speak to the specifics of what the president is talking about, but to me this was about looking forward, right. we have been having a back and forth with iran for seven or eight months now. the killing of qassem soleimani was a very new step. so were ballistic missile fired from iran on u.s. forces in iraq. that's totally unprecedented. so we've obviously had a really, really tough week but this conversation with iran has opinion going on for a while.

that's why i thought it was very important to put down a marker that if you're going to get us in protracted war, you're going to have to come back to congress to ask for authority. >> i want to play something that republican congressman doug collins said last night attacking democrats over their questioning about the events of the last week. let's take a look. >> nancy pelosi does it again and her democrats fall right in line. one, they're in love with terrorists, we see that. they mourn soleimani more than they mourn our gold star families, the ones who suffered under soleimani. that's a problem. >> obviously, you know, just factually what he said is not true and also as somebody who was a pastor and i believe still is a pastor, it kind 's kind of amazing that he would say that. but when you hear a fellow member of congress, high-ranking official on the judiciary committee nonetheless, accusing your fellow democrats of that, i wonder what do you make of that? >> i mean, it's offensive. i don't know what else to say about it. i served three tours in iraq as

a shi'a militia analyst. i have been in the embassy when we've taken incoming fire from iranian rockets, i have watched qassem soleimani in particular, who has just been the architect of this horrible, horrible approach to the united states trying to get us kicked out of iraq and to sow destable activitiadestableizing activities all over the reason. it's political speak, it's offensive and it isn't consistent with being a leader. >> i appreciate your time tonight. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> we'll have more reaction to those kmebcomments by congressm collins. and nancy pelosi spoke today about when she might release the articles of impeachment to the senate. her strategy when we return. if you have moderate to severe psoriasis,

just a moment ago you heard the democratic coming woman who did three tours in iraq criticize the assertion that democrats are unpatriotic when they question of motive for

killing qassem soleimani. this is what the ranking member of the house judiciary committee, doug collins, said. >> i did not think she could become more hypocritical than she was during impeachment but guess what, surprise, surprise, nancy pelosi does it again and her democrats fall right in line. one, they're in love with terrorists, we see that. they mourn soleimani more than they mourn or gold star families, who are the ones that suffered under soleimani. >> preet bharara wrote this was a shocking new low for the georgia congressman saying you are not a talk show host, you are a pastor and a sitting member of congress and therefore the evidence shows you should know better. you got your cheap shot across and perhaps that's all that matters to you. joining us now, senior legal analyst for the southern district of new york, preet bharara. you were really upset about what

he said. >> yeah. you know, there's been a lot of rhetoric, poisonous rhetoric, a lot of barbs. politics is a tough game. i work for a scrappy, tough politician in the senate for four years so i get it. but something about that, about the equating of people who are of a particular ideological or political persuasion as being lovers of terrorists based on nothing i think just crossed a different line. i don't think i've been that angry about something -- i try to be measured on c ncnn and my twitter account but it was a bridge too far. it borders on pathological. you doesn't need to say this to make a point and be persuasioniperpersuasive. it's debasing to himself, democracy and to his party. >> if somebody is drunk in a bar -- >> let it go. >> that's the kind of thing somebody might yell junk in a

bar somewhere. this guy is a pastor, who has served i believe one tour in iraq. i looked him up because i didn't know much about his background. in the air force and in the navy prior to that in the 80s. i assume have counselled democrats, soldiers who were democrats. and he's saying democrats love terrorists. >> i think that the bottom has fallen out. i just think -- it would be one thing if it's in the heat of argument and then you step back and you apologize for it. i'm waiting for an apology. >> he's not going to apologize. >> i understand that's weak. >> of course it's not actually weak. i think apologizing -- >> i agree. it's perceived in weak in this environment that we're in and because of what the president has laid down. but he says the thing he says and i don't know that he has any contrition about it at all. just say, you know what, it was in the heat of conversation, i

shouldn't have said it -- if there's one thing we can agree on, it should be that everyone in america, democrat or republican or independent does not like terrorism because we're all victims of it. when terrorists target americans, they target americans, dhoon't target democrats or republicans. and when the families grief, they don't grief as democrats or republicans, they grieve as americans. >> you prosecuted cases -- >> our most important jorn whb i was a united states attorney was to keep the homeland safe and prosecutor terrorists. >> even particularly about soleimani. >> ours was the office when i was u.s. attorney that prosecuted the plot that was overseen and orchestrated by soleimani and the quds force to assassinate the sitting saudi ambassador to the united states at a restaurant called cafe milano in d.c.

so maybe that's why i took more umbrage, as someone who prosecuted terrorism and know the good men and women whose party affiliations i don't even know to say though casually and blithely on tv to score a cheap political point that democrats love terrorists, it was just too much. >> preet bharara, appreciate it very much. >> speaker of the house nancy pelosi indicates her standoff may -- may be close to an end.

sources on capitol hill. what are you hearing about where things stand? >> that the speaker is continuing to keep her cards extremely closed to her vest. the indication that people who are sort of in her presence, not before the cameras today got was that when she said soon, she meant soon. people were told to stay close in the next day or so, but it doesn't mean that it is definitely -- when i say "it," a vote to send the articles of impeachment to the senate and along with it perhaps a vote on who the house managers will be, meaning who the democrats will be who will prosecute the case in the trial. we still don't know. but the pressure on her as you alluded to is getting stronger and stronger and greater from her fellow democrats, never mind republicans.

>> you were the first person when i interviewed you on "full circle" on, you are mentioned that and it was the first time i'd heard it, too. i want to play i think the time that speaker pelosi saw you on it. >> i think nancy pelosi has some real leverage in this. she doesn't have to send articles of impeachment to the senate. what happens, don, after there's a vote on the articles, they adopt a resolution where they select managers and then they decide when they're going to send the managers over to the senate. so there's a flexibility in the pr process where she could say, listen, let's just hold these articles here in until the senate gets its act together and that could last right through the campaign as far as her powers. >> so, john, do you think it's wise tofor her to keep holding them? >> i think what she's done has been very effective. what it's done, one of the things i've had in mind in

suggesting after checking the rules that it was permissible and something she could do is she's focused on the fact that the senate is unlikely to provide fair trial. that issue is now going to be before the american public. it may be something that democrats can campaign on this fall in states where republicans are part of the process to rush this thing through and try to exonerate trump somehow from what the house has charged him with. so i think it has worked and i think she's got the flexibility of doing it whenever she wants to, up to and through the campaign. >> talk about the pressure that she's under. where is it coming from? >> well, it's coming from several places. first and foremost from the very democrats we've been talking about since the democrats took the house, but in particular the so-called frontliners, those

in trump district who is just want this done, oaf and done with and they want to move on and they are hearing rhetoric from their republican opponents that, otheh, not only did the he democrats impeach the president but now they're playing political game and holding the articles of impeachment in the house. those kinds of things according to the democrats who matter most when this comes to keeping the house majority are potentially hurtful. despite what john said and that's the other side of the coin. the other side, and you heard from the speaker today, anderson, that she clearly feels the need to articulate why she's done what she's done and why she thinks it's beneficial. she actually coined a term, said it's the collateral benefit and listed a whole bunch of things between when the house voted and now, including john bolton

saying he would be willing to testify in the senate. but there will come a time, probably very shortly, where that benefit has run out if it was there at all, and it is an open question depending on who you talk to. >> john, do you think there's any chance bolton would actually testifying? the president said he has not problem with bolton doing it but he wants to protect presidential privilege. that's like saying he'd love to go talk to mueller but has to check with the lawyers. >> i think he has pressure on himself to testify because he's writing a book about all this. what he should have said in front of congress is said in the book, he's going to have backlash. i think he should testify and he should testify in the house, maybe informally first before a senate trial so they know what it's all about. >> stephanie grishham making he

we have new evidence, this video of what seems to have happened to that plane that took off from tehran. 176 people gone. apparently not an accident, meaning this was about the plane and being self-contained. the evidence, as you've reported very well on the show tonight, suggests that this was done by surface-to-air missiles, by iran. why? we'll take a look at this new video. we'll have experts tell us what this is and then what it means. how do you get accountability? what does this mean for the u.s. and iranian relationship going forward? then we're going to look into this war powers act because the president said more at a rally tonight about why they had to take out this general than he said in his address to the nation. and yet congress didn't vote unanimously to take back its power. why it must and what comes next. >> all right. nine minutes from now. see you then. just ahead, white house press secretary stephanie grisham, second time this week, returning to the ridiculist. proof i can fight psoriatic arthritis...

coricidin hbp is the... ...#1 brand that gives... powerful cold relief without raising your blood pressure. my body is truly powerful. i have the power to lower my blood sugar and a1c. because i can still make my own insulin. and trulicity activates my body to release it like it's supposed to. trulicity is for people with type 2 diabetes. it's not insulin. i take it once a week. it starts acting in my body from the first dose. trulicity isn't for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. don't take trulicity if you're allergic to it, you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have an allergic reaction, a lump or swelling in your neck,

or severe stomach pain. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases low blood sugar risk. side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, belly pain, and decreased appetite, which lead to dehydration and may worsen kidney problems. i have it within me to lower my a1c. ask your doctor about trulicity. i can. the two words whispered at the start of every race. every new job. and attempt to parallel park. (electrical current buzzing) each new draft of every novel. (typing clicks) the finishing touch on every masterpiece. (newborn cries) it is humanity's official two-word war cry.

words that move us all forward. the same two words that capital group believes have the power to improve lives. and that, for over 85 years, have inspired us to help people achieve their financial goals. talk to your advisor or consultant for investment risks and information. time now for "the ridiculist," and don't call it a comeback. but for the second night this week, stephanie grisham is back on "the ridiculist." you didn't think i meant back in the white house briefing room doing her job, did you? no! ms. grisham doesn't play that game. she actually can't go back because she's never been in that room doing a press briefing. she might have walked through it or gaggled or something but never an actual formal press briefing. there hasn't been one of those in 304 days. old news. democracy, pshh. tweets are better.

rage tweets. tweets. grisham is making more than $150,000 a year. she doesn't have time to step in that small, dank little room with all that free press sitting around. there's no telling what they might ask. no, grisham is back on "the ridiculist" this week because even though possible war with iran is on hold, she is still popping up on fox news, firing on all cylinders, by which i mean, she continues to say things which appear meant to defend the president but actually point out the president's own failings. i'm actually starting to think that grisham may be just pretending to be unintentionally ironic and deeply hypocritical while in fact she's trying to secretly and subtly subvert the president. example, just a few days ago she was on fox and was asked if she could specify the threats posed by qassem soleimani, threats that u.s. officials have used to justify the time of the attack. without a shred of irony, this is what she said. >> no, that's -- that's something -- it was an intel based decision and it saved american lives. i think that that's what's most important. i know a lot of people are now

questioning the intel. that's really unfortunate. >> see, she seems to be defending the president's decision, but then she ends it with attacking anyone who would question u.s. intelligence, saying that's really unfortunate that someone would question u.s. intelligence. now, here's the genius of that. who's the biggest questioner of u.s. intelligence? her boss. >> i've dealt with some people that aren't very intelligent having to do with intel. i have great confidence in my intelligence people, but i will tell you that president putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today. >> you disagree with that assessment? >> i have intel people. that doesn't mean i have to agree. as i think you've all learned, the intelligence agencies have run amok. when we waste our time with intelligence that hurts our country because we had poor leadership at the top, that's not good. my people came to me, dan coats came to me and some others. they said they think it's

russia. i have president putin. he just said it's not russia. i will say this. i don't see any reason why it would be. >> and that's unfortunate. the president even questioned intelligence on iran in the past. here's the tweet. the intelligence people seem to be extremely passive and naive when it comes to the dangers of iran. they're wrong and, quote, perhaps intelligence should go back to school. just side note, the man who once paid a $25 million settlement for running a fraudulent university told intelligence professionals to go back to school. that is actually unintentionally ironic. back do grisham, though. it seems we are the only ones concerned over the lack of white house press briefings. two mega best-selling authors have now made her a proposal. take a look at this tweet from crime novelest don winslow. quote, to press secretary stephanie grisham, i'm umming my offer to $100,000. we will go nate 175,000 to st. jude in your name and help a lot of kids if you will take

questions from the press corps for one hour in the white house briefing room. cnn's jake tapper asked ms. grisham about that offer to which she applied, if you have $200,000 to play with, why not just help children because it's a good thing to do. donations to charity should never come with strings attached. and there it is again. she just did it again. it's brilliant. donations to charity should never come with strings attached. guess who views charity in exactly a strings-attached kind of way? the president. here's his strings-amuch ttache offer to president obama. >> i have a deal for the president, a deal that i don't believe he can refuse, and i hope he doesn't. if barack obama opens up and gives his college records and applications and if he gives his passport applications and records, i will give to a charity of his choice, inner city children in chicago,

american cancer society, aids research, anything he wants, a check immediately for $5 million. >> yes, the champion of the more than likely racist and completely debunked conspiracy theory about president obama was willing to donate $5 million to inner city kids in chicago, the city he hates, if president obama would play along with the more than likely racist and i think we can just say racist and completely debunked conspiracy theory. >> frankly, it's a check that i very much want to write. i absolutely would be the most happy of all if i did, in fact, make this contribution through the president to these charities. one caveat. the records must be given by october 31st at 5:00 in the afternoon. >> that is called strings attached. so stephanie grisham, it has been a big week for you and i see your long game.

i see what you're doing. that's why you were so quick to echo the president when he called those never trumpers human scum. you were like a deep cover asset for the resistance inside the white house. but don't worry, your secret is safe with us. president trump never watches cnn. so keep sending those messages on fox. he'll never notice how much you're pointing out his own hypocrisy on "the ridiculist." the news continues. i want to hand it over to chris for cuomo prime time. >> quick story. when i was at abc, i jumped off the taj mahal. we were supposed to be facing our fears. and the president, then citizen trump, donated 20 grand to charity for me jumping it off. i was told he offered double the next day if i did it without the rope attached. it's ftrue. but he was charitable. >> a long game with that one too. >> it was literally a string attached at that time that he didn't like. anderson, thank you. i am chris cuomo. welcome to prime time. 176 innocent people
