correct and get down to the business of security for our people." he took aim at london's mayor: "at least seven dead and 48 wounded in terror attack, and mayor of london says there is no reason to be alarmed." mr. trump also pointed to the attack as a reason the courts need to approve his controversial travel ban: "we need the travel ban as an extra level of safety." cbs senior national security analyst fran townsend says, despite leaks related to the manchester attack, shared intelligence is essential to u.s. security. >> british authorities have continued to share intelligence with us. that will help us, ourselves, in understanding how this attack was executed, to help protect americans here at home. >> reporter: despite the president's insistence that a travel ban could prevent similar attacks in the u.s., senators from both sides of the aisle disagree. republican susan collins: >> i do believe that the very broad ban that he has proposed is not the right way to go. >> reporter: democrat mark warner: >> don't continue to call for
