so here is jennifer willoughby, his second ex-wife talking to anderson cooper last night.isten to this. >> he is now in a relationship with white house press secretary hope hicks. do you think he's changed? >> i don't think he's changed. >> does that worry you? >> it worries me for a lot of reasons. i mean, it definitely worries me because if i'm being frank with you, if he hasn't already been abusive with hope, he will. and particularly now that he is already a lot of stress and scrutiny. that's when the behaviors come out. and if he hasn't already, he will. >> that's chilling, alice. she is taking to warning on national tv hope hicks the director of communications for the white house who is in a romantic relationship with him. >> sure. and the fact that no one at the white house is saying, hope, run fast the other direction. >> we don't know what they're saying inside the white house. we just don't know. because, by the way, they are not being transparent about this. >> sure. and i think to simone's point, who in the white house should have told john kelly domestic viole

when you have cnn contributors who are trump fans, like jason miller, like mike shields going on anderson cooper last night, pleading with the white house to say -- pleading with the president to denounce domestic violation, you know that that says something because people like that are loathed to criticize the president on television. they were doing it to send him a message. >> so, chris, people look to the women in the white house for some wisdom. and the -- at least the ex-wives of rob porter don't feel they have heard that from kellyanne conway and sarah sanders. kellyanne conway when asked if people should be worried about hope hicks having a romantic relationship with rob porter, we don't have to worry about her because she's a strong woman. i think it's striking to note that there's obviously a stigma and taboo around all these subjects particularly domestic violation and talking about if you were a victim. but she has this morning a washington post op-ed. i will read a few portions of what his first wife is now saying. on monday, white house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders again

i'm anderson cooper. "at this hour" starts now. >>> hello, everyone. i'm fredricka whitfield in for kate bolduan. shock, grief and growing sense of anger in ft. lauderdale, just a short drive from parkland, florida. the epicenter of the nation's latest mass shooting. the first of 17 victims is being buried today. alyssa alhadeff was just 14 years old when the gunman walked into her high school and opened fire. police say the gunman has confessed. alyssa's mom delivered an impassioned plea to president trump for gun control. it is a call for action now embraced by the students, teenagers who lost friends, classmates and mentors. >> i'm glad that people are starting to notice that this is something that we need to face. and when politicians say now is not the time, i want to ask them, when is? how many more children need to die? >> things need to change. nothing is going to be different if we don't change anything. >> i would like to say that this shouldn't be a fight between two different parties. this should be a coming together where we all realize th

. >> having seen page's interviews with anderson cooper and others, i'm not sure how useful. but idiot may well describe. >> the committee votes on it today at 5:00. the president has to decide what to do there. republicans will actually be on the defensive here. they have to prove they are being as transparent as they claim to be. jeffrey, i think the timing is fascinating. sometime in the next week or two we're going to learn if the president is going to sit down with robert mueller's investigators or at least get a status where do these negotiations stand. >> i think it's very up in the air. i think the people around the president, his lawyers want to avoid this as much as possible. they know this is the president, according to the "washington post", who has told more than 2,000 lies since he took office. you don't want someone like that in a position where they are legally libel if they tell a lie. but the president has also said he wants to cooperate. polls show people want him to answer questions. >> if he doesn't, can't mueller subpoena him? >> he could. but that would

anderson cooper and brooke balduin said they had gotten clearance from the parents before they interviewed and not exploit these children. i couldn't agree with you more. the biggest difference i think in this coverage is the way social media and new media have in some ways empowered these students in telling these stories. we had a freshman live tweeting the event while it was going on. we had a senior recording interviews with people who were hiding in a closet. this one really encouraged me. the internet troll -- social media troll that fox news has tomi lahren was out tr trying to exploit it, and she said, this isn't about guns and a 17-year-old student said, excuse me. i was hiding in a closet yesterday. this was about guns. i was so happy to see that 17-year-old senior take her down. that's the level of discord -- that's how deep that kind of trolling is that a teenager took her down. that's really empowering. i'm very glad for that, but again, you know, we had excess on the other hand. the "today" show, interviewing a survivor whose best friend died overnight, and asking her how her

>>> i'm anderson cooper in parkland, florida. i want to welcome our viewers here in the united states and watching around the world. a stunned and grieving community and possible warning signals that were missed. we're following up-to-the-minute developments in the florida school massacre that left 17 people dead, at least 14 others wounded. here's what we know right now. the shooting suspect is due in court an hour from now. police say he's a former student at the school. a law enforcement official tells cnn the fbi received at least two alleged threat reports about the shooter, including a youtube post. in both cases the fbi did not share the information with local law enforcement. and president trump steps into the role of comforter-in-chief. the president addressed the nation, pledging to make schools safer. >> it is not enough to simply take actions that make us feel like we are making a difference. we must actually make that difference. in times of tragedy, the bonds that sustain us are those of family, faith, community and

last night former national intelligence director james clapper actually told our anderson cooper he believes more indictments are to come. let's listen. >> i think there are other shoes to drop here. noticeably finances. bob mueller and his team know a lot more about all this than is out there that we know. i think there's much more to come. i didn't see any indication about closing the investigation down after this indictment. >> it was clear when rosenstein made the announcement, he kept making references to this indictment. so clearly there are more to come. >> certainly, those of us who have been covering this, myself and the others here at cnn, we believe there's more coming. we know that more people have been to the special counsel's office. steve bannon was in there just this past week being interviewed by the special counsel. we know there continues to be activity at the courthouse, at the grand jury. almost every week. so certainly we all believe and also keep in mind, fred, there are two key cooperators here who are providing information to the special counsel, that's the former na
