>> reporter: hey, matt. good morning. it was president trump's first official meeting with congressional leaders here after what aids view as a strong opening day. more than two months after winning the election, mr. trump is dwelling on having lost the popular vote. and again repeated a bogus claim. president trump opening his new house to congressional leaders, both republicans and democrats. happy hour for food and drink served. during the bipartisan reception, sources tell nbc news the president revisited the campaign claiming without evidence that between 3 and 5 million undocumented voted in the election causing him to lose the popular vote to hillary clinton. according to the "washington post," the number of documented cas cases in voter fraud including a woman in iowa that voted twice

law makers in the state dining. ceos in the roosevelt. leaders in the oval office. >> they're happy with the meeting they had. what do you think? after campaigning on more than 20 promises. >> many my first day in office i'm going to ask every republican congressman to send a bill to immediately repeal and replace obamacare. >> on day one, we'll begin working on an inpenetrable, physical, tall, powerful, beautiful southern border wall. >> a more modest opening day. just three executive orders. instituting a hiring freeze for federal workers, not including the military. reinstating a policy to ban

from providing or promoting abortions. most notably, pulling out of the pacific trade deal. a obama project intended to check china. >> great thing for the american worker. >> reporter: the move triggering a political role reversal. praised by bernie sanders but blasted by john mccain after sean spicer's combative weekend debut making inaccurate claims about inauguration crowd size, spicer tried to smooth things over. also raising eye brows spicer's refusal to say the unemployment rate almost a year after this trump's claim. >> the numbers probably 28-29, as high as 35.

42%. >> spicer's take? >> i think for too often in washington we get our heads wrapped around a number and a statistic. >> reporter: for the record, the current unemployment rate right now is 4.7%, as of december. back here at the white house there's a noticeable change in the way that.trump is going to conduct business. president obama would typically le leave the west wing by 6:30 for dinner with his family. mr. trump is here this morning. kellyanne conway said his schedule will include many working dinners, including dinners with members of the media, matt, that he repeatedly targeted. >> peter, thank you very much. >> as we mentioned the president's new team is starting to take shape and last night his director of the cia was sworn in. and secretary of state rex tillerson moved closer to his own confirmation. hallie jackson has that part of the story. good mornin >> pr:ooin a busy day not just

hill the president's pick for transportation secretary is said to get a full senate vote later today. as more of his nominees now get the green light, more scrutiny on some of the topics they're said to oversee like foreign policy, intelligence, and national security. a cabinet coming together. cia head mike pompeo successfully sworn in. rex tillerson clearing his biggest senate hurdle. all but sirn to be named secretary of state next week. new leadership for the trump administration's intelligence and foreign policy teams. both of those topics in the spotlight. natch national security advisor mike flynn getting attention for his interactions with russia's ambassador to the u.s. on december 29th. the same day that the obama administration announced sanctions against moscow for interfering in the election. sean spicer describes those discussions as routine. saying flynn made another c

three days ago. >> one call talked about four subjects. >> reporter: a u.s. intelligence official tells nbc news overnight there was never an investigation of flynn and the calls were briefly scrutinized after being picked up as part of routine monitoring of the ambassador adding the matter has been concluded. the backdrop to all of this? broader questions about the investigation into russia's meddling with the u.s. election. one former intelligence official briefed on the matter said that inquiry is looking whether certain former campaign aids had improper contacts with the russians. the senate intelligence committee looking into any possible connections. at the white house, the press secretary down playing any feud between the president and leaders of the intelligence community. pointing to the response president trump got during his visit to the cia saturday. >> they were excited. they were clapping. they were cheering. >> reporter: that cheering audible for

staffers in attendance. not from senior agency leadership staying silent during parts of the president's remarks. john brennan not in attendance calling the presidential appearance a despicable display. almost overshadowed? these remarks. >> probably wouldn't have isis. that's where they made their money in the first place. we should have kept the oil but okay. maybe we'll have soot chance. >> we want to make sure our interests are protected. if we're going in to a country for a cause -- >> can you state this administration will not send more troops into iraq to, as the president put it, take the oil? >> i'm not going to talk about what we may or may not do. >> reporter: and press secretary sean spicer will hold his second briefing here today at the podium behind me as the president starts his day with that auto meeting. it includes a one on one with top senate republican mitch mcconnell. matt, you know the topic of supreme court picks will be on the agenda.

thank you very much. robert gates served as secretary of defense under presidents obama and george w. bush and the cia's director under president george h.w. bush. and author of the book "a passion for leadership." rex tillerson was approved last night. the vote was 11-10. despite some senators' serious concerns about his ties to russia. this is the guy you suggested to then president-elect donald trump. are you worried as he gets confirmed and moves forward in his job there will always be lingering doubts about him any time he deals with russia or putin? >> i don't think so. i think that once rex is confirmed and in office that his actions will prove he's basically totally focussed on looking out for best interest of the united states. frankly, i was disappointed it was a party line vote. i had hoped that a few dmo

>> let's stay on russia for a second. you're aware of the things donald trump tweeted and said about russia and vladimir putin calling him a great leader. calling him an asset. saying he wants a closer relationship with him. you four months ago said trump's expressions of admiration for putin and his authoritarian regime are naive and responsible. you're the guy who once famously said i looked in vladimir putin's eyes and i saw the eyes of a stone-cold killer. when you met wh then president-elect trump a couple of months ago, did you personally say those things to him? did you warn him about putin? >> i did. i told him about that story, about looking into putin's eyes. i also told him that i thought that the challenge for his administration was going to be to thread the needle between figuring out how to push back against putin's aggressions and meddling in interventions and

thugery. and at the same time figure out a way to stop what i regard as a dangerous downward spiral in the relationship. you have to do both things. >> you know the fbi and cia and other intelligence agencies are investigating possible improper contact between three of mr. trump's former campaign associates. the "new york times" goes as far as saying looking at intercepted communication and financial data. you've got an experienced gut. you were this nation's top spy. does it make you kweesy? >> i don't know anything about the investigation. what i have some confidence in based on experience is i have no doubt that the russians tried to intervene in our election. that they tried to discredit and delegitimize the election. they're trying to do it in europe now in elections there. this is a part of the way the russians do business. >> let me move on to the cia. when president trump went to the cia a couple of days ago and stood in front of the wall of stars, which represent the

this country in the intelligence community. he chose the opportunity to fight with the media and did self-promoting. did you feel he was disrespectful to the agency and those people who gave their lives? >> well, i think there was sort of -- seems to be sort of a stream of consciousness that goes on. first of all, i thought it was an important gesture of respect to go there in the first place. even before mike pompeo was confirmed and basically say to the people at the agency he respected them and willing to work with them. >> is there still a rift? >> well, i think that to the degree there is -- and, you know, there's always -- >> you're in contact -- >> first of all, there's tension between cia and presidents. because cia says things presidents don't like. and so, you know, i think mike po pompeo, i talked to him several times. i think he'll be successful in mending this. more importantly, fin

>> president trump made a comment at langley saying we might get another chance to steal iraq's oil. he said if we kept the oil -- maybe we'll have another chance. >> as the former head of the defense department. i want your reaction. >> i have no clue what he's talking about. >> if the u.s. military were to go in now and try to steal iraq's oil, wouldn't it be an international crime? >> i think that's not going to happen. >> let me ask you about another comment. during the inaugural address he said a new vision will govern or land. from this day forward, it's going to be only america first. you're a student of history. historically speaking, how do you think it sounds to our allies? >> i think it reenforces their impression already that the united states is pulling back from engagement around the world. and i think it's leading alo

election under the obama administration, and i think it just reinforces their view that they may be need to recalibrate their relationships with other countries, including russia and china. if they think the united states is basically pulling back from the leadership role we've had over the last seven decades, other countries are going to fill that. >> in your book, you write this about important qualities for a leader. you said they have to have the right temperament. they have to keep their ego in check, and treat people with dignity and respect. having written that, are you confident that donald trump will be an effective leader? >> i think that you have sort of two parallel universes, if you will. you have the public commentary, tweeting and so on and so forth that is a little mind boggling sometimes. but then many people talk about

private and having serious and thoughtful conversations. that was the case when i met with him in december. so i think when i look at the team that he's putting around him in national security, tillerson and mattis and kelley and so on and i hear about the meetings in price priva-- priva >> i like how you bring the two sides of the personality together. >> the problem is the first impacts the second in terms of perceptions around the world. >> former defense secretary robert gates and cia director. it's great to have you here. >> thank you very much. >> appreciate it. let's swing over al. >> hello! you're right there. sorry. i didn't mean to sneak around the former cia director.
