i'm poppy harlow. >> and i'm john berman. breaking this morning, the president has given the beginning of the russian investigation a new nickname. he calls it spygate and also one of the biggest scandals in history. now as a student of history, the president no doubt knows that spygate was used to describe the cheating allegations against the new england patriots, perhaps president trump is suggesting that robert mueller is about to win the equivalent of five super bowls. >> perhaps. the president is throwing bombs this morning, bombs accompanied by zero evidence and proof. a circus of distraction is what david ignatius calls it. if the president thinks he's winning at least the p.r. battle over the russia probe, does he even care? and what will he say when we see him this afternoon? mike pompeo faces questions on capitol hill just hours after the president publicly cast doubt on that planned summit with north korea's leader. we'll bring you that in a moment. let's go to the white house. that's where we find kaitlan collins.
