plus, the death toll is climbing in california as two major wildfires blaze across the state. dozens of bodies have been found in cars and homes as firefighters battle the catastrophic flames. tensions are high as candidates in florida dig in for a fight. ♪

we begin in paris where world leaders gathered over the weekend to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of world war i. president trump did not attend several of the major events. on saturday the president and first lady for scheduled to visit a cemetery. however, the commander in chief cancelled that visit, citing the weather as the reason. he did speak, though, at a different american cemetery on sunday and had this message for a world war ii veteran in attendance. >> frank devita. thank you, frank. you look so comfortable up there under shelter as we're getting drenched. you're very smart people. >> the weather didn't stop other

world leaders from paying their respects including canada's justin trudeau who paid tribute to the canadian troops who lost their lives at a battlefield in northeastern france. trump also skipped the paris peace forum, opting to fly home inste instead. yesterday as other world leaders walked shoulder to shoulder, president trump decided to go alone. russia's putin also went separately. president macron took square aim at his american counterpart. >> translator: as the very opposite of the selfishness of a nation which only looks after its own interests because patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism. nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism. by saying who cares about the

others, we erase what a nation holds dearest, its moral values. to ruin this hope by giving into the fascination for withdrawal and isolationism, violence and domination would be a grave error that future generations would very rightly make us responsible for. now to california where crews are working around the clock to contain those deadly wildfires that continue to burn out of control. the largest among them is in northern california and is known as the campfire. it has wiped out the entire city of paradise. officials found five bodies inside a home and one in a vehicle, bringing the number of killed so far to 29. more than 200 people remain unaccounted for. in southern california, there's the hill fire. that's mostly contained along with the still ragining woosley

fire. the fire is burning from malibu to thousand oaks, a city that is still reeling from wednesday's deadly mass shooting. two people have lost their lives in the fight there so far. crews were also battling a new blaze in southern california overnight. the university fire above cal state san bernardino was being whipped up by the erratic santa ana winds. the county has made progress in getting that fire under control. just to recap the numbers across the state, 31 deaths so far, 228 people unaccounted for, 150,000 people displaced, 400 square miles scorched including 177 homes in southern california. some 8,000 crews are battling the fires with more resources still arriving from out of state. >> president trump's reaction had enraged firefighters. trump tweeted, there is no reason for these massive deadly

and costly forest fires in california except that forest management is poor. billions of dollars are given each year with so many lives lost, all because of gross mismanagement of the forest. remedy now or no more fed payments. the president of the california professional firefighters responded in a statement, writing, the president's message attacking california and threatening to withhold aid to the victims is ill-informed, ill-timed and demeaning to those who are suffering as well as the men and women on the front lines. when asked to respond, a spokesman for california governor jerry brown said, our focus is on the californians impacted by these fires and the firefighters and first responders working around the clock to save people and property. a recount is now underway for florida's senate and gubernatorial races. republican ron desantis leads by

about 30,000 votes. the associated press is retracting its call in that race. the a.p. had previously declared desantis as the winner over democrat andrew gillum. now gillum has withdrawn his concession. >> i am replacing my words of concession with an uncompromised and unapologetic call that we count every single vote. we count every vote. i say this recognizing that my fate in this may or may not change. >> now, florida's 67 election departments have until thursday to recount more than 8.2 million ballots. broward was supposed to begin its recount yesterday at 7:00 a.m. glitches with the machines delayed the start for several hours. in order to make thursday's deadline, broward has to count about 6900 ballots per hour. yesterday's delay puts the county about 25,000 ballots

behind that pace. president trump weighed in over the weekend, tweeting, trying to steal two big elections in florida, we are watching closely. governor rick scott who's ahead by fewer than 13,000 votes is accusing senator bill nelson of trying to commit fraud. >> senator nelson is clearly trying to commit fraud to try to win this election. that's all this is. >> i want to pick up on that. you're accusing bill nelson of trying to commit fraud? >> his lawyer said that a non-citizen should vote. that's one. number two, he's gone to trial and said that fraudulent ballots should be counted. ballots have already been thrown out because they were not done properly. he said those should be counted. >> you think the senator himself is committing fraud? >> well, it's his team. >> now to arizona with more ballots counted there yesterday, the campaign team of democrat kyrsten sinema says her lead is

insurmountab insurmountable. she's ahead of the republican by more than 32,000 votes. president trump wants a do-over, tweeting friday,just out in arizona, signatures don't match, electoral corruption, call for a new election. we must protect our democracy. on saturday a press release from the national republican senatorial committee claimed fraud. now look at the question mare copa county election official who's been using his position to cook the books for kyrsten sinema. corey gardener could not back up that claim with evidence, instead pointing to the county's different laws governing elections. >> is there any evidence to support that the election officials are cooking the books? >> well, i think what we've seen in arizona is an attempt to make sure, like in florida, that

we're treating everybody equally under the law. there had been concern that a process was being used to determine signatures or validation of ballots that differed from places in other parts of the state. >> where's the evidence that anybody was cooking the books? >> well, we had evidence that people were treating ballots differently. >> so in the georgia governor's race, the counting of 5500 provisional and mail-in ballots shrank the lead of brian kemp. the abrams camp filed a lawsuit on sunday to prevent counties from rejecting provisional ballot. the kemp campaign says it is mathematically impossible for abrams to win at this point. joining us now from washington, d.c. is daniel litman. good to have you with us on this monday morning.

a very busy week on many political fronts. you now have some top republicans, including the president, who are claiming once again voter fraud without any evidence. do these claims have any merit? >> when you talk to the experts, they really don't. remember, president trump set up that voter fraud commission that he had to disband because it was marred by kind of weirdness on its own end. so when you talk to people in florida, they're raising concerns about ballots not being counted. so there was absentee ballots that were delayed and not counted. there was a good mother jones piece today about someone because their signature did not match and it was totally her ballot. that's not getting counted. that's what democrats are saying in florida. >> well, the president managed to tweet about the controversy, saying watching closely, while he was in paris over the

weekend. a trip there, a visit that came with a lot of tension and controversy there, even the moment he was landing with that tweet against macron. then you have some controversial comments by fellow world leaders in europe as well. overall, now that he's back here, how is that trip being received? >> it didn't seem to get received very well, because trump expected it to be a success for him, kind of a rare bright spot after the midterms didn't go to his liking a few days ago. but he didn't push his white house hard enough to actually get him to the main cemetery ceremony on saturday. and you had the extraordinary sight of macron basically publicly rebuking him right in front of his face, talking about the pearils of nationalism. of course he didn't have to say trump's name, but all those 80 world leaders, that's what they were thinking, that this was

criticizing trump. and trump looked -- he was grimacing at macron's speech, kind of a reversal when they were kind of broing it up. >> comes on the heels of the president calling himself and doubling down that he is a nationalist, even in that combative press conference last week. still ahead, new details on donald trump's reported involvement in hush money payments meant to keep his alleged affairs quiet before the 2016 election. with nancy pelosi set to become house speaker once again, she is weighing in on whether democrats are try to impeach president trump.

welcome back. the fbi is reportedly investigating a company at which acting attorney general matt whittaker previously served as a member on its advisory board. citing an alleged victim and others familiar with the investigation, the bureau carrying out a probe of world patent marketing over allegations it scammed customers out of millions of dollars. the court document says that whittaker served on the company's advisory board and

also appeared in promotional materials. the investigation is being handled in part by the miami office of the fbi. whittaker oversees the fbi. justice department guidelines would require whittaker to avoid any involvement in the case. whittaker has said he is not aware of any fraudulent activity. meanwhile, the "new york times" is reporting that people close to president trump believe he tapped whittaker to lead the justice department in part to contain the fallout from robert mueller's russia probe. the paper says that white house aides and other people close o e the president expect that whittaker will curb the investigation and will not allow trump to be subpoenaed. president trump on friday worked to distance himself from whittaker. watch this. >> well, matt whittaker -- i don't know matt whittaker. matt whittaker worked for jeff sessions and he was always

extremely highly thought of and he still is. but i didn't know matt whittaker. >> very adamant there. i don't know matt whittaker. >> the president reiterated his claim of not knowing matt whittaker again on friday in a series of tweets while also praising him. it was similar to the praise the president gave him last month during an interview that challenges his own claim of not knowing matt whittaker. >> i can tell you matt whittaker is a great guy. i mean, i know matt whittaker. the lawmaker expectsays he to call matt whittaker as that panel's first witness, saying he would grill the acting attorney general over protecting robert mueller's russia probe. >> the very first thing, obviously, is to protect the mueller investigation. the president's dismissal of attorney general sessions and his appointment of whittaker, who's a complete political

lackey is a real threat to the integrity of that investigation. that investigation is of utmost importance in making sure that we adhere to the rule of law and that the administration is held accountable. we will certainly hold hearings on that. our very first witness after january 3rd, we will subpoena mr. whittaker. >> now to nancy pelosi who's in line to potentially be the next speaker of the house. she's addressing one of the lingering questions as democrats gear up for control, impeachment. pelosi says that while she doesn't want to impeach the president, he add-- she adds wh mueller might think is indictable could be impeachable. you have to have evidence of the connection. the democrat poised to lead investigations into trump says he will use subpoenas sparingly.

during an interview cummings was asked if he was ready to go to war with president trump if democrats decide to open investigations. here's what he had to say. >> i'm not going to war with anyone. what i am going to do is do what the american people said they wanted us to do through this election. even in trump country, they basically are saying we want transparency, we want honesty and integrity. i'm not going to be handing out subpoenas like somebody's handing out candy on halloween. i take this as a lawyer and as an officer of the court. i take subpoenas very seriously and i plan to, if i have to use them, they will be used in a methodical way. >> cummings has recently shed a light on what house democrats are interested in probing, including scott pruitt's potential ethics violations and

questions over jared kushner's security clearance. >> when it comes to matthew whittaker, besides the recusal, besides the constitutionality of appointing him, you've got this fbi probe of that company linked to him. what level of his position is in jeopardy at this point given all of that? >> i think even without his involvement in that company, he didn't seem like he was going to be a permanent pick for this job. there's also questions of whether he can be if he's already acting as acting attorney general. so i think he probably wants to not have too long of a stint, because his name is in the bad headlines until trump picks a new person. but he has a number of other things on his plate. we had an iowa state senator write in politico magazine yesterday how he was the target of a witch hunt led by matt

whittaker when matt was the u.s. attorney in iowa. and a jury basically cleared him within 35 minutes. you have bloomberg reporting this morning that matt is not going to cut the mueller investigation's budget, which everyone had worried that he would. >> also word out there that given temporary, the names who would be a.g. chris christie, trey gowdy. >> i wonder if mueller would delay his investigation until matt whittaker leaves that position of acting attorney general. let me ask you this quickly about how the democrats in all of this are beginning to prepare for possible investigations into the trump administration. you heard elijah cummings saying he's not going to be handing out subpoenas like candy on halloween night. but how is the rest of the leadership preparing? >> they're already leaking what they're going to pursue.

they're going to look at that at&t merger, see if there was any political interference. they're going to look at the trump properties. i think the broader point is that democrats are worried that they could over-investigate. where's the positive agenda they're talking about, jobs, health care, you don't want that to get lost amongst all the subpoenas. >> thank you. as we discussed this hour, this past weekend was the 100th anniversary of the end of world war i. world leaders including president trump marked the occasion with a visit to paris. kelly o'donnell has the details. >> reporter: a century after a hard fought peace. dozens of leaders gathered in paris to show that the world remembers the great war. president trump, who had missed a visit to an american cemetery saturday when poor weather grounded his helicopter, teased about the inclement weather when

he visited another american memorial. >> you look so comfortable up there under shelter as we're getting drenched. you're very smart people. >> reporter: 1565 americans from both world wars rest here. the president stood alone to pay his respects and praise the historic partnership with france. >> we fought well together. you could not fight better than we fought together. >> reporter: but for all the expressions of unity, the host, french president emanuel macron, delivered a pointed message about the lessons of world war i, an admonition that appeared aimed at president trump, who calls himself a nationalist. >> translator: nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism. by saying our interests first, who cares about the others. >> president trump and vladimir putin exchanged greetings at the ceremony and had the opportunity for conversation at a luncheon.

the russian president did an interview here and said he and president trump agreed to the french request that leaders not hold separate meetings that could detract from the occasion. they have more time planned in the not too distant future. both leaders are going to argentina in a few weeks for the g20 summit. there are some new tensions on the agenda, including the int intermediate range nuclear missile treaty. the president is beginning his monday back at the white house. still ahead, the controversy surrounding one of president trump's picks for the medal of freedom. plus the congressman-elect and war veteran mocked by pete davidson on "saturday night

what is the one big thing? >> yeah. we're looking at the hell that awaits donald trump come january when house democrats take control. and we have one aide saying they loaded up a subpoena cannon. it's going to be directed at the white house by our talley that we were working on overnight, it looks like there is 85 different possible targets that democrats will go after related to trump and to his administration. and why this matters is this is going to dominate the next two years. most democrats that you talk to privately say it almost undoubtedly leads to impeachment proceedings against a president and several different fights over subpoenas and over congressional power that can land before the supreme court. >> we already heard nancy pelosi weighing in when it comes to the i word, impeachment there. i want to play sound from congressman anita lowy, incoming chair of the appropriations committee talking with their colleague and we'll talk about it. >> should the majority look into

these issues related to president trump that has come up? the space force? >> yes. >> james comey's firing? >> yes. >> the travel ban? >> yes. >> the family separation policy? >> absolutely. >> hurricane relief in puerto rico. >> oh, it was absolutely inadequate. >> house staff use of personal e-mail? >> oh, for sure. >> the president's business dealings abroad? >> absolutely. and i want to see his tax return. >> all right. so would nancy pelosi give as many yeses, absolutelies, for sures as we heard? >> i think she would be much more careful in public in terms of saying, well, we're going to do this slow and methodical, we'll see where the facts lead. there is no democrat that we're talking to behind the scenes that doesn't think that this is going to be a hot mess that ultimately does lead to impeachment f you're nancy pelosi, what she's -- the reason she's cautious in public is she saw what happened when republicans were overzealous in going after bill clinton for impeachment proceedings. it really hurt them as a

political party. it hurt their standing in congress, became a distraction and ultimately they didn't get what they wanted to get in terms of trying to remove clinton from office. so she's trying to balance this. she wants to make sure they can do some things legislatively. the pressure is going to be so intense from her. chairman -- but then also from outside forces like tom stir and democratic activists who have been waiting for two years to actually have power to do more than just talk about trump. but actually try to punish him. >> interesting to hear the tone of the president when mentioning nancy pelosi. >> yeah. how it flipped. >> right? >> a whole shift on that tone. >> let me ask you really quickly about your colleague. i know he has new reporting on the president and puerto rico. what did he find out? >> yeah. it's a great scoop by swan looking at how the president doesn't want to provide any more funding for relief for puerto rico. in fact, in private and sort of vented that he wants to pull old funding back which is him

blowing off steam. i think it speaks to the seriousness and his team meeting with congressional appropriators saying no more money for puerto rico. democrats there, they're going to fight for more spending and obviously to have power now once they run the appropriations committee. but this is -- it's also interesting because you saw the president's tweets over the week about the -- the awful deadly fires in california where he's sort of critiquing it in real time as opposed to just saying both in puerto rico and l.a., it's terrible. people lost their lives and homes and futures and you're looking to the president to say okay what are the things with he can do from the federal government perspective? >> all right, jim, thank you for being with us this morning. we'll, of course, be reading axios a.m. in a little while. you can sign up for the newsletter at signup.axios.com. >> that does it for us on this monday morning. "morning joe" starts right now.
