half hour later sarah sanders disputed the claim tweeting while daca and border security were both discussed excluding the wall was certainly not agreed to. schumer's spokesman said the president made clear he would continue pushing the wall, just not as part of this agreement. >> pleased to welcome this bipartisan group of democrats and republican lawmakers to the white house. >> reporter: before the dinner president trump held another bipartisan meeting where he sounded more like a democrat when it came to taxes. >> if they have to go higher they'll go higher, frankly. >> reporter: it all has the white house answering about where the president stands. >> the idea that the republican party ideas are not represented in that room is just ridiculous. this president's done more for bipartisanship in the last eight days than obama did in eight years. >> this is the president's second deal with the two lawmakers. he once referred to them as a clown and a loser. last week he stunned fellow republicans by siding with democrats to raise the u.s. debt limit and extend the current

budget for just three months. well, the president heads to the sunshine state today and that will be his main focus, florida. where a criminal investigation is now under way following a deadly nursing home incident. >> eight senior citizens died in that heat after the hurricane knocked out air-conditioning at the facility and even though there was a hospital right across the street, abc's tom llamas has more from hollywood. >> reporter: a life and death situation at this nursing home. the rehabilitation center at hollywood hills, the first sign of trouble an emergency call about a heart attack. but it soon became clear it was much more serious. >> the facility called and said that incidents were occurring. something's going on in the center, unknown how many patients or their injuries. >> reporter: what came next an all out evacuation. >> it was chaotic when i arrived. we had at least 115 patients we were trying to evacuate and bring them to safety. >> reporter: the scope of this tragedy heartbreaking. eight people dead. three at the nursing home and

five more later at the hospital. the nursing home was running on generators since hurricane irma hit. the lights on, but no air-conditioning. ellie came to visit her 96-year-old mother here shortly after the hurricane struck. could you see the suffering? >> yes, i did. yes, i did. >> reporter: what's also troubling, the nursing home is just yards away from one of the biggest hospitals in the area. >> we're conducting a criminal investigation and not ruling anything out at this time. >> reporter: florida's governor says the health department had been in contact with the nursing home over the past three days and told them to call 911 if they had any reason to believe the patients were at risk. >> we depend on those people in those facilities to care for our most vulnerable elderly population. >> reporter: tom llamas, abc news at hollywood hills, florida. and the u.s. death toll from irma has now risen to at least 30 with millions of people still with no power. the military is flying food and water into key west where search
