7:05 am
wall. >> going to work with the democrats. we're going to see. if we cat do that, then we'll do, obviously, we'll do the emergency. deals done, it is ofo the races. and that tweet seemed to be a message to some of theutde conservative voices. remember, this was passed by both senate and house unanimously. so every republican signed on. but ann coulter who is an author and conservative ctic used it for a tweet that digs at both this president and formeen pres the late george h.w. bush saying good news for george ert walker bush, as of today he is no longer the biggest wimp ev to serve as president of the united states.
7:06 am
cutting tweet for this president and certainly for the bush family. >> kelly o'donnell, thank you. elyse jordan is a political analyst. good morningu. to so put this in perspective. 35 days later and we're right back essentially to whe we started. no deal on immigration, the clock has been reset to february 15th essentially. what has change >> well, the human chaos level inside the united states changed. you look at over 800,000 fell workers who didn'tet their paycheck for an honest day's work, you look at over a million contractors who may not even get paid. you look at the airports that startedo be impacted. you look at the food safety inspections thateren't happening. and all of this important work that we take for grantedhe by government and america started to noce. >> yeah, i nearly got stuck in tomorrow.raffic mes i think one of the best takeaways i heard is he didn't
7:07 am
get the wall but americafo paid it. the the headlines have been brutal for this president in the course of the last 12 to 24 hours, as it relates to tn. shutd we saw what ann coulter said a short time ago. moderates have been alienated by this, frustrated by nothing comg of a35-day shutdown. conservatives, the president's base has been outraged, as well. what does this doly politicato president trump? olitically you w donald trump's approval which already has never been historically high, it took a nose dive. and you look at how americans overall in new "washington post" poll, they blame republicans and donald trump for this shutdown. so politically he gained nothing in this shutdown about nothing. >> so then speaking of gaining, how much of a clout did posi gain? >> nancy pelosi really can take a victory lap today. d the scary part i think politically is you see howld dorump is a president who is driven and inspired and
7:08 am
motivated by the media narrative. and if the media narrative isth nancy pelosi won, which she did, she didn't cave at all a she didn't give a dime for donald trump's border wall and the government is reopened. and donald trump could cre closer towards declaring a national emergency which he already has been hinting about. so we've got a three week period. is mexico going to pay for the wall? because it certainly looks like congress isn't going to. >> bottom lin b is we m doing this again february 15th, so cancel your valentine's day plans inwashington. nice to see you. thanks so much. while all this was happening in the nation's kaptcapital, ro stone was facing a judge in a florida courtroom charged in connection with the special counsel's investigation into russian interference in 20916 election. but a defiant stone says the charges are all bogus.16 election. but a defiant stone says the charges are all bogus. je geoff bennett has more on that. stone'ster: roger
7:09 am
indictment is raising new questions about the trump campaign's pursuit of those democratic e-mails hacked by the russians in the lead up to the 20 electi16 election. and stone's arrest is sparksg new conce about what else the special counsel might have ate friday, heade his case on cabl >> it's about silencing me. i intend to plead not guilty. >> reporter: stoneslamming the special counsel's indictment, accusing him of obstruction, lying, and witness campering in e tampering in the russia investigation. >> mahe of these things in indictment i rebutted. the idea they need evidence, they've been in my e-mail, my text messages, my phone calls for two years. >> reporter: the seven charges lited include lying to congress about his efforts to uncover damaging e-mails hacked by the rusans, from the democrats and hillary clinton's campaign. it also includes this stunning
7:10 am
detail, that after the first wikileaks dump of haed e-mai in july 2016, a senior trump ampaign official was directed to contact stone about any additional releases. roger stone was defiant friday after his federal court appeance in ft. lauderdale. annelling his ol, richard nixon. >> i believe this is a politically motivated investigati investigation. >> reporter: the self-described mr. trickster advised trump for decades. including the ely days of the 2016 presidential campaign. >> i am one of his oldest friends. i am a fervent supporter. >> reporter: last month, mr. trump said stone had guts for saying he'd never testify against the president. the white huse now attempting to distance the two. >> this has nothing to do with the president, nothing to do with the white house. >> reporter: sanders didn't respond directly when asked whether it was mr. ump who told the campaign official to contact stone about the hacked democratic e-mails.
7:11 am
stone says he didn't coordinate with the president.is >> ther no proof here. >> reporter: roger stone is now the sixth associate of president trump's indicted in the mueller vestigation. and the president's former convicted campaign chairman, paul manafort c was inrt yesterday, too. in tepatate case, prosecutors told the court they didn't think manaforthould get special credit when sentenced next month, saying heto lied investigators after agreeing to acco cooperate in the investigation. >> thank you. we want to bring in matthew miller, a justice and security analyst and former justice department spokesman in the obama administration. matt, good morning to you. >> morning. >> so these charges don't accuse stone of directly colluding with russians during the course of the campaign, but they certainly do bring robert mueller's investigation one step closer td the prt's inner circle. how significant, and i guess
7:12 am
iore importantly, why this indictment so significant? >> peter, i think the most keportant thing to t away from this indictment is, it doesn'tll ae criminal collusion between the trump campaign on the one hand and thn russiovernment on the other, but it is the closest we've gotten to answer the question at the heart of the investigation. it lays out a series of contacts with roger stone and wikileaks and roger stone and the trump mp gn. i think the biggest question going forward, is there more evidence the special counsel has that he's holding on to until ter? is this all he has? is he still investigating and trying to answer that question? >> to folp on that, one of the president's lawyers, rudy l gni, says, this is nothing to do with the president or collusion. it only has todeal with false statements. is that a fair way to read it? >> two things about that. first all, false statements are incredibly important. a former u.s. attorney for theh so district of new york should know that. they're at the heart of many criminal cases. second, people often make false statements to cover up an underlying crime. that is part of the allegations
7:13 am
here, that roger stone wasin t to cover up his behavior and behavior of others during one campaign. what we know is, did he have conversations with the president during the campaign abouthis? the president has denied that. roger stone has denied that. know it's been reported they were on the phone at multiple times during the fall of 2016, when the wikileaks dutch dumps going on. >> right. >> that question is central going forward, to how far the conspiracy wou go. >> i'll put this up. it says, a senior trump campaign official was directed to contact stone about additional releafre wikileaks about hillary clinton. there's only so many -- i covered the campaign -- only so many senior trump campaign officials and only so many people who could direct a senior campaign official. is this zoing in on the president? >> i think you're right, peter. that's one of the mostin tantdetails in the entire indictment. it is written strangely, this passive voice use of someone wad
7:14 am
dire when you look at senior campaign officials who would naturally be in contact with roger stone, obviously, paul manafort, the campaign manager, hiformer business partner. rick gates would know him well. but the passiice to say, was directed. usually, it'd be, seni campaign official one directed senior campaign ofcial two. the concealing of the detail means president of the united states, though we're not sure. it is an odd use of terms, the way they write the indictment, to keep that from the public, at least for now. >> may be more to come. matt miller, thanmu so . >> thank you. also this morning, we're learning more about the miracle rescuof a 3-year-old boy who was lost in the woods for two days in north carolina. how was he able too survive s long? tammy leitner is on the scene with more. good morning.po >> er: good morning.
