from the boardroom to the west wing. more on that in a moment, but w federal judge is extending his previous ruling blocking president trump's revised travel ban. it's what's called a preliminary injunction, that means the president's order will stay on hold until the lawsuit resolved. this morning another blow for she presid ban after a federal judge in hawaii extended a ping the argu in court. on the ban more the revised travel ban would have restricted entry to the u.s. by refugees and six predominantly muslim countries. the move comes as the senate intelligence committee is gearing up for its first hearing into russia's interference of the election. the panel's top senators presenting a bipartisan show of force. >> i have confident in richard burr that we, together, with the members of our community will get to the bottom of this. >> reporter: their appearance in strark contrast to the house intelligence committee now paralyzed by politics. why the house republican chair

is being called to recuse himself, the senate's top republican is vowing his investigation won't be compromised by his support for president trump. >> but i've got a job in the united states senate. it overrides any personal beliefs i have or loyalties that i might have. >> ivanka, any final thoughts? >> reporter: meanwhile, the president's newest hire is coming over scrutiny over her new job. his daughter ivanka getting a new title assistant to the president, an official, though unpaid government employee. the move coming in spite of ivanka's assertion last year she wouldn't be joining her father's team. >> people think that you're going to be part of the administration, ivanka. >> i'm -- no, i'm going to be a daughter. but i've -- i've said throughout the campaign that i'm very passionate about certain issues and that i want to fight for them, but not in a formal administrative capacity. >> reporter: her decision to make it official, a response to criticism that as an informal adviser she may have avoided rules and disclosures required

of federal employees. ivanka's attorneys saying the move demonstrates ivankivanka's compliance with federal standards. but after trump tweeted that he was not trying to get top level security for my children, this was a typically false news story sparking a heating debated over the west wing and nepotism. >> i don't see how you wouldn't advocate for a working woman, ivanka trump, who challenged republican orthodoxy and advocated -- >> i let you finish, amanda, please let me finish. >> she is in no way qualified. >> reporter: that's the heated debate we have been talking about. as for ivanka trump getting security clearance, a security familiar with her plans tells me this morning ivanka isn't looking to get involved in national security issues, but given that most senior staff in the white house have clearance, they say, she wanted a guard against ined a veined a very ta

disclosure. >> ari melber is our legal chief correspondent. good morning to you. you were here when jared kushner got his job at the white house. we talked about that being okay with anti-nepotism laws. does this fly legally? then we'll look at the practical side. >> it does fly legally. congress banned all in the anti-nepotism statute in 1967. this is a loophole. if they were trying to put her in the cabinet, it would literally be illegal but they have found the ad visor loophole. >> we'll talk about the bracket ca practicality roles. this is kind of complicated. >> the problem is the dual loyalty. why would you ever want to pick a situation and put yourself in it where you might have to choose between your love of family and your love of country. the conflicts rule to the same, as you see for doctors, it's not that you're a bad doctor or don't love your daughter when hospitals say you're not

supposed to operate on your own family. it does create a conflict. that's why congress generally banned these kind of promotions. >> another thing, when when we had andy card here who served as white house chief of staff, it's important for the president to surround himself by people qualified, but it will speak truth to power. now, is your daughter likely to speak truth to power? >> we have examples of this, matt. i mean, look at this. last week we had where you had health care, fbi and a supreme court nomination, biggest week, everyone agrees. i don't think reince priebus could have taken a midweek schemization as we saw ivanka and jared do, as the family advisers do so. and i don't think it works in both directions. that's the governance question beyond the ethics. no one says there's any wrong with loving your family and giving them the happiness you want. but does it become something

that you ask them to do things that other aides wouldn't be allowed to do, that you don't have candor going in both directions to the boss and back, but also among the other specialists and expesrts. some of the things that in washington is, you have to remove people and fire people. these administrations you cover, they don't end with the same group they begin with. how do you do that with your family? >> it's a thicket. ari, thank you. new developments overnight surrounding north carolina's controversial bathroom bill. late last night republican lawmakers and the democratic governor roy cooper reached and agreement to repeal house bill 2 and replace it with a new measure. legislators are expected to vote on it today, but it is still unclear whether there are enough votes in the house and senate to pass it. the current law that limited lgbt members to move out of state. and new jersey's governor chris christie was at the white house on wednesday, as his theat

>> i've made it really clear to the president that it is my desire to finish my time as governor of new jersey. >> reporter: baroni and kelly were not taken into sentencing. they are going back to court in the fall with appeals. they could be sentenced to four years under federal guidelines but given considerably less than that. >> stephanie, thank you very much. new developments in the battle over so-called sanctuary cities. the city of seattle is now the trump administration over unconstitutional. deportation efforts. lt night o inside issue with one of the >> okay, which gate says died emergency. thaf faa is from the first but will i miguel phoneline.
