north korean nuclear threat and allies in asia. but the president may find it hard to leave behind the controversy over the russia investigation. >> visiting an american paradise. a working stop in hawaii. the president and first lady paid their respects at pearl harbor. >> this is very special and to be visiting pearl harbor which i've read about, spoken about, heard about, studied, but i haven't seen. >> president trump laid a wreath at the uss arizona nearly 76 years after the attack by japan. that history a sober reminder of what's at stake now with north korea. president trump attended a close door briefing with the pacific command, key military leaders deeply involved in any north korea strategy. there's a lot of tough people and a lot of talented

>> reporter: the asia trip includes stops in japan, south korea, china, vietnam and the philippines taking the president inside a region on edge over north korea's nuclear program. national security adviser h.r. mcmaster. >> the president recognizes that we're running out of time and will ask all nations to do more. >> reporter: leaving washington friday, president trump claimed little memory of his interaction with george papadopoulos whom he once praised. >> george papadopoulos, he's an oil and energy consultant, excellent guy. >> reporter: a campaign volunteer who pleaded guilty to lying to federal investigators about his contacts with russia. both attended a march 2016 meeting. a former adviser also there tells nbc news trump listened with interest as papadopoulos suggested a face-to-face with vladimir putin and candidate trump, an idea rejected by jeff sessions. >> i don't remember much about that meeting. it was a very unimportant

meeting. it took place a long time. don't remember much about it. >> reporter: in that same q & a with reporters the president said he's frustrated with his justice department for not investigating the democrats. he thanked hawaii for its welcome and will travel to tokyo later today. >> kelly o'donnell for us in hawaii. >> juan is nbc news national security analyst and was a top national security adviser for former president george w. bush. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> this trip seems to be a test for president trump. obviously testing his diplomatic skills and his deal making skills. talk about the stakes here for this president. >> these are enormous stakes. this is the longest trip any u.s. president will take to the region since 1991. visiting five countries with as the report described the stakes on north korea couldn't be higher. so you have the urgency of the threat of north korea. the president trying to

allies in japan and south korea, trying to pressure, convince china to do more which is part of the reason he's going to be meeting with president xi in china. as well dealing with the reality that allies in the region are wondering what the u.s. role in asia looks like, especially after the president pulled out of the trans pacific partnership. so the stakes are high. leaders want to hear what the president has to say. they want to be reassured by the u.s. presence. certainly he wants to reinforce the relationships he's begun to forge with some of those leaders like president abe in japan and president xi in china. >> how does this president go about talking to these asian leaders and convincing them to do what you just talked about, contain north korea? >> i don't think he's going to have to do much with japan and south korea. i think there's a sense of common purpose and urgency with those countries. you've seen on the eve of h

visit bomber ks and fighters fr the usa a.s. fly near north kor. there's been a demonstration of common purpose. i think with respect to china is the big question. can the president convince the chinese to exert their economic pressure. they control about 90% of trade with north korea. can they use their political pressure and can they use their diplomatic interests. they are the back stop for north korea. i think that is the big trick in this trip. can he shift that and fresh north korea through china. >> this has been quite the week. many distractions at home. low approval ratings. no legislative views. will those problems over shadow this trip? >> they will certainly follow him. i don't think they will overshadow the trip. because there are so many issues

you have the north korea problem which is front and center. the question of the rise of china. president xi's reestablished his power, the most powerful chinese leader since mao. you have the question of the u.s. role in southeast asia. he'll be in vietnam and the philippines for those summits. those are enormous issues. big ticket items. he'll be there for 12 days. he'll have to deal with a lot of questions about domestic politics and issues back here in the stakes. these are high order issues. in some ways this may be a welcome visit for the president where he can focus on substance, focus on real issues and no doubt his national security advisers are happy that he'll be in these environments dealing with these world leaders. >> thank you for talking with us this morning. >> as president trump heads overseas, he also has a lot to say about a controversy back home and this one involves hillary to

help to beat bernie sanders. andrea mitchell has more. >> reporter: president trump trying to deflect from the russia probe seedsiizing on a n charge that hillary clinton co opted the dnc to defeat bernie sanders. >> you want to look at hillary clinton and the new book that was just put out by donna brazil where she basically bought the dnc. >> a former democratic party chair writes in her new back "hacks" that she stumbled to o to the stocking truth about the clinton campaign. the accusation that she stacked the deck against sanders. >> the dnc had its finger on the scale in favor of secretary clinton. >> elizabeth war run with chuck
