>>> hi there, i'm brooke baldwin and you're watching cnn. after 22 months of the special counsel at work, 34 people charged, five people sentenced, we begin with something never before seen from robert mueller and his team. leaks. about this letter by attorney general bill barr detailing the major conclusions of the mueller report. several investigators on the special counsel team are in a word, frustrated. they believe that barr did not adequately describe how the case for obstruction of justice included derogatory information about what the president did, from sources familiar with those conversations and you remember the a.g. found that the evidence, quote, is not sufficient to establish that the president committed an obstruction of justice offense. now the president and the doj are hitting back. the president went after "the new york times," the first two report the story calling it a quote, unquote, fake newspaper. for more let's go to cara skinnal, what are you learning? why did the folks from team mueller speak up like this? >> repor

cnn's polo sandoval is following the very latest.his morning. >> this wouldn't be the first time that a member of congress receives a threat, but it certainly is a case that's drawn some attention because congresswoman omar's recent statements that have drawn some controversy and she is one of the first muslim women to serve in congress. i want to bring you up to speed on the what the criminal complaint reads here. on march 21st, there was an individual that identified himself as patrick naho from western new york made a phone call into the congresswoman's office in washington, d.c. and reading from this -- from this statement here from authorities, asked staff, quote, do you work for the muslim brotherhood? are you working for her? this individual, at least a voice on the other line proceeded to call congresswoman omar a terrorist and then threatened to kill her. interesting point here, though, that this caller also provided his contact information and even spelled it out for authorities, so at least it certainly was a lead for the

. >> sent them to cnn. there are people out there who are unhinged. and he knows this by now. he gets a secret service briefing all the time about the threats against him and his family. thank god for the secret service that they protect our first family. but he knows better than anyone the threats that are out there, and yet he feeds those fires, he fans those flames. it is reprehensible that he would stoke hatred toward any american, and certainly a member of congress. >> and you know what is so amazing about this? is that, i think that congresswoman omar is, i think i've said it before, the gift that keeps on giving to the republican party. if he would just keep his mouth shut, he would actually serve his purpose in terms of making her the face of the left, of the democratic party. but because he gets involved in it, then people like me feel it necessary to defend her, because his inciting violence is even more reprehensible. >> everyone, stick around. president trump back on the attack, as the white hou

let's go to cnn's cristina alesci.ain? >> well, there are serious concerns about both men's qualifications and whether they can make objective decisions in the best interest of the u.s. economy and ignore pressure from their friend, president trump. both economists and executives that i've been speaking to have been expressing skepticism. last night, i asked jpmorgan ceo jamie dimon whether moore and cain are right for the job? >> i know them from seeing them on tv. i've never sat down and had a long conversation. they don't seem like the right people to be on the fed. >> some background, moore was an adviser to trump's 2016 campaign. he's better known as a political pundit than an economist. he also worked here at cnn as a contributor and had fiery exchanges, defending the president. as for cain, he's also known for a presidential campaign, his own. just last year, cain announced a political action committee to counter the so-called resistance to president trump, saying it had become unhinged and absurd. but unlike mo
