and it was when dana white spoke on camera. and what's really interesting about that is one of the questions she answered was because they were recently doing one of the filming for the new top gun movie she wondered if the press wondered if it would be an accurate portrayal of. some hard hitting questions right there being thrown at her pentagon official yeah you know. what's the you know i mean the principals have spoken on camera just not in the briefing room since then but three hundred some odd days of the televised press conference and i wondered do you think that there was a connection between what's happening in the white house and the pentagon why we're suddenly about seeing these briefings any more personally it looks like what happens when you have a manager and upper management upper management in middle management and middle management doesn't want to say the opposite of whatever management said to the press so they don't talk and because there's been so many questions about whether the generals the generals know b

i am confident that both the judge and the jury >> dana: sean spicer former white house press secretarygood to have you here with me today, even though i wish you were here in person. i want to read something from rod rosenstein talking about the attorney general and his plan to release the mueller report. he said it would be one thing if he put out a letter and said, i'm not going to give you the report. what he said, look, it will take a while to process the report. people really want to know what's in it. i will give you the top line conclusions. that's all he was trying to do. i don't think there's much to quibble with. what about you? >> i agree. democrats are impatient. they wanted mueller to come up with conclusions to substantiate the charges they made against this president. when it fell short, they protected mueller. when mueller didn't substantiate the political charges they made, they moved on to now attack bill barr. bill barr, who spent several years in the cia, assistant attorney general, deputy attorney general and now attorney general twice. he's doing his due diligence

office of government ethics gave him direction on what to divest and what rules to follow. >> dana: the whiteress secretary weighed in on this. >> reporter: like jim jordan, she is deeply skeptical of the democrats motives. here's what she said. >> i can tell you democrats are acting in bad faith throughout this process. they're asking for personal, confidential information that they know they have absolutely no right to seek. >> reporter: the house oversight committee is set to meet again tomorrow wednesday to discuss potential subpoenas. we'll be watching that. >> dana: we will indeed, with your help, of course. thank you. should allegations of inappropriate conduct disqualify joe biden from the 2020 race? what one top female democrat is saying. and mayor bugegic is crushing it. how do the other 2020 candidates compare? >> i want to make sure you see our new office. we're really pumped about it. one day we're hoping to be in the actual west wing that we will fill with fast walking, good dialogue. choose glucerna, with slow release carbs to help manage blood sugar, and start making everyday

dana, and they have not taken off. kamala harris, senator from california, is doing the best of the women, five female candidates. you can see the top four contenders, top three, are white men. this isn't a party that said if we do not galvanize women of color, we're going to lose. it's interesting what the primary voters are saying thus far. >> dana: another one from new hampshire saying i fear that with women, that's it. we had our chance. we had hillary. hillary didn't pan up. just pick another 65-year-old white guy that has a best chance of winning. that was a 52-year-old woman from new hampshire. i think also, jennifer palmieri, she worked for hillary clinton. she's been a democratic consultant for a long time. she said women voters who want to support a woman candidate should not overthink this but have the courage of their conviction and believe in their power to make a difference. look what happened. we have those numbers. 102 women serving in the house, 89 democrats and 13 republicans, 24% of the chamber's voting members are now women. i just feel like there might be some overthinking going on here. hillary clinton was one candidate. one thing that's key is you

chairman cummings is now using this sensitive topic as a pretense for a partisan attack on the white house. dana>> shocker. there's partisan politics being accused and going on on capitol hill, even on important issues of oversight. lauren, stand by, because with me here in the studio i have jis lu, the white house cabinet secretary and transition director for president obama. thank you so much for coming in. >> thank you. >> i want you to put this in context because this is the kind of thing you did, security clearances, you oversaw this in the obama administration, so explain how the process works in so much as how unusual what this alleged whistleblower is saying is. >> you know, it's sometimes hard given the daily barrage of news to separate what's important and what's not important. this is important. 25 individuals, white house officials, were granted clearances despite career officials raising objections. those objections ranged from foreign influence, possible blackmail, possible corrupt activity, questionable activity, financial problems. those decisions are made by career officials for

especially if obamacare is ruled unconstitutional. >> abby phillip with the latest from the white house. dana, as we dive back in on this and looking at what the president is putting out there, this is a strategy that worked for him in 2016. trust me, i don't need to give you specifics, but i'm going to make it work. democrats may be looking at this as a gift, but maybe this actually does work for the president. that whole trust me line from 2016. >> it could. the difference between 2016 and now is 2018 happened. and although it was the whole concept of health care was probably negligible in these big senate races where a lot of democrats in red states lost, it certainly wasn't with regard to the house. i mean, republicans who were upset, as abby was talking about, late last week as they watched the president bring their national nightmare back in their laps was that they saw so many of their colleagues lose because the democrats just whacked them over the head rhetorically with the notion of pre-existing conditions. and republicans had nothing to fall back on. they didn't have a specific pla

measuring it except i don't see a lot of accomplishments that the white house has accomplished for the president on immigration. >> danaave one other piece from senator grassley. can we play that as well? >> they are now the policy people down there that give them intellectual and a policy basis for exactly the policies that the president wants in immigration, and it would be a real mistake if they go that far down into the bureaucracy to fire good people like that, that i have worked with for 17 years. >> dana: i have got a minute left, i'll give you each 30 seconds. tim, a final word on this topic today. >> yes. secretary nelson obviously popular, but president trump has the right to hire and fire personnel. the over arching thing though is senate republicans now have to deal with the confirmation. >> dana: they'll try to get those through. adam, final word to you. >> those are tough words from one of the white house's biggest allies on capitol hill. you and i both know, you know more than anybody, that this type of chaos surrounding an administration is just crippling. they're going to have a hard time getting the r

joined by also former republican house intelligence committee mike rogers, former nixon white house john dean and dana bash. >> chairman rogers, i'm just wondering what you make of this report. >> i don't think the 400-page report is going to be the summation of donald trump's summer camp experience. i mean, clearly there has been some problems and he's had people around him have some problems and i think the report is more likely to do that, but if the conclusion from the report was there was no conclusion definitively -- yes, collusion and on the obstruction of justice they couldn't make the determination. they might find all of the ancillary material that would support one way or another and that's just going to be political fodder for the next two years. i think they need to let barr go through his review and then press event the report and find out if it reflects what the body of the report reflects. >> dana, barr's review, there's a number of criteria that the department of justice says he will use in order to redact things. his grand jury testimony is things that current investigations, obvious

white lines. they are very happy to watch the vp drown out. >> dana: elizabeth warren. >> why not.your biggest potential challenger is on the rope, why help him out? the people that have defended him have been diane feinstein, nancy pelosi. that might be biden's crew. >> dana: voice of the present is donald trump. last night he was also talking about the green new deal. his thoughts on running against it. watch this. >> it's the craziest thing. they believe it. and we will have to do something. but don't do it too early, please. don't kill it. because we want to be able to run against it. if they beat me with the green new deal, i deserve to lose. >> dana: good line. ty, i wonder if you think the republican, are we missing anything on this green new deal? >> what they're missing is climate change is real. the republican party, even going back to mitt romney in 2012, has sort of dismissed climate range. not realizing for younger voters, what an important issue it is. i think that what a lot of republicans, it's easy to demonize it. but what they don't realize is when the midwest is

. >>> outfront now john dean former nixon white house counsel. dana bash back with me process. who do believe, the mueller report, sworn penalty under penalty of prison time from don mcgahn por the president's tweet. >> i think to state the question answers the question, jim. it's conspicuous here. mcgahn is not going out and lie. he did go under oath. so it really -- it's a tweet against under oath testimony. also it's clear from the report there is substantial evidence to support him. what's that mean? it means that he probably came back to the office and told others in the office who have now testified about it. he may have made a memorandum for the record. there's probably lots of corroboration. so i think the president is in trouble trying to push in one too hard. >> dana, mcgahn, he is mentioned more than 150 times in the mueller report. i'll quote again mueller rights when this office first interviewed mcgahn about the topic he was reluctant to share detailed information about what occurred and only did so after continuing questioning. and the information didn't just com

. >> dana: joining me now, karl rove former deputy white house chief of staff for president george w.donna brazile. karl, did barack obama, the former president, ever think joe biden was a moderate? >> well, first of all, let me say greetings in norwegian. >> dana: thank you. of course you can. >> mayor pete. norwegian american. look, i think he picked him primarily because he had foreign policy experience and long washington experience. i don't think whether he was a moderate or liberal came into play. by the standards of the time he served in congress, he was a liberal. by the standards of today, he's slightly less liberal because the democratic party has moved to the left. >> dana: he addressed that in remarks outside the venue. listen to that. donna, i'll have you respond. >> the party should welcome this what i don't know how you want to characterize it, the progressive left. we should have a debate ab these things. that's not a bad thing. but the idea all of a sudden the democratic party woke up and everybody asks what kind of democrat -- i'm a joe biden democrat. i'm proud of i

"the new york times," "wall street journal," "washington post" have all said that multiple trouble visuals were electronically surveilled during the campaign. manafort, papadopoulos, carter page, mike flynn. human intelligence assets were used when people went to great britain and london. we know kristi noem was involve involved. >> dana: you know a lot. >> jesse: i do. is this hannity or is this "the five"? >> juan:

white house see it. it should be a transparent operation and the american public should know. the president, the president's counsel has seen it and had input. >> danank attorney general barr is a good model of how to present yourself in front of congress? >> greg: when i look at him, all i see is john goodman. john goodman with glasses. take a look. anyway. the media is going to try to play -- look at that. john goodman. they're going to try to play what is behind the redactions? they are going to look at it. >> dana: hold up to the light. >> greg: don jr., no, big foot. the loch ness monster. the location of jimmy hoffa's corpse. what is inside al capone's fault? the remains of amelia earhart. the real shroud of turin. it is adam schiff's mind, which clearly has been lost months ag ago. >> dana: what do you think? >> dagen: the democrats are the party of baroque saying i'o color-coded, you know why the redactions are there and they match up. citizen outreach fantasy they have concocted because they are lost on collusion. it was a lie they pedal to the american people for two years. they have gone to have something to chat about their -- at their l

dana chalian, a u.s. officials tell cnn, it was like pulling teeth to get the white house to focus in on russian electionon? >> i think this whole thing is really alarming about learning how the president has obviously inspired a culture around him that said he wants nothing to do with this topic on his desk. that mick mulvaney the chief of staff is saying, he said he doesn't recall, but he said this doesn't need to get to the president's level. what are we talking about? this is a clear and present danger to the american democracy and his chief of staff is saying this shouldn't be at the president's level. they have to pull teeth -- this is, i think, the largest ab dockation of his responsibility of president that he's had to day. >> but something he's never been able to reconcile with because he said from day one that his legitimacy will be questioned if he even entertains a discussion about any vulnerabilities. so that is why he doesn't want to talk about it. but it is extraordinary. this is the third chief of staff who has not brought this to his desk to say, mr. president trump, this is an issue and

i'm dana bash in for brianna keilar live from cnn's washington headquarters. under way right now, are officials inside the white's secrets? a whistleblower says more than two dozen trump officials were given clearance after they were initially denied. speaking of secrets, robert mueller's report is still not public, and soon democrats say subpoenas are coming. plus, he's not bluffing. the white house says the president is serious about shutting down the southern bothered as the administration makes a big move. and i'll talk to oneha

a very important event and acknowledgement of the warriors happening at the white house this morning. danaerino anchors the daily briefing, co-host of the five. we'll add to our mueller report coverage. as we await the president's remarks let us know what you think so far what we've learned this morning as we await the report. >> one of the things i used to ask the team and the president, what is the headline we want in the morning if we have a successful day. the headline tomorrow morning won't be the process complaints as the democrats have made so far, it will be the repetition of no collusion that attorney general bill barr said at the beginning. process stories aren't that important overall. they are helpful to a news cycle at the moment. i also think that these questions about members of congress, including the house intel committee chairmen who have for two years said they have evidence of collusion, i think there is a lot to answer for there. i do think that robert mueller will go to capitol hill to testify. by the time he does this almost all of this is water under the bridge. the

see what's inside, the nearly 400 pages, white house officials and the president's legal team are working on how they will respond. rudy giuliani telling cnn's danae actually

holding a campaign rally in wisconsin and will not attend tonight's white house correspondents' dinner for a third year in a row. dana? >> thank you. >>> for more on the political week, cbs correspondent ed o'keefe joins us. good morning. let's start with joe biden. finally he's officially in the race. he raised $6 million in the first period. how does that look for change a for as democrats running for president? >> so far he's maintaining he has the financial support needed to build a campaign from scratch because that's what he's doing. unlike most of the other candidates in the race, biden hasn't had a campaign operation of his own in about 12 years. he has to go out and find those who will work for him and hope it will come in quickly and it did. in the coming days he's scheduled big fund-raisers in early may and seeking out the small dollar donations that drive the other campaigns especially those of bernie sanders, beto o'rourke, and kamala harris. >> how significant do you think that's going to be for biden? >> well, you know, anthony, i keep thinking since that happened yesterday, does america really want a

dana, that's just not the story that the mueller report tells when it has aides who testified talking to federal investigators saying actually the white house counsel refused the president's demand to fire the special counsel, snow the attorney general refused town recuse himself even though the president demand that had he do so, and even the story of the president's foreigner campaign manager who refused to give a message to the attorney general telling him to limit the scope of that investigation. so that is certainly what the president says. no one ignores his orders. doesn't line up with what's in the mueller report and also doesn't line up sources telling us now. not always mueller-related where they ignore or slow walk the president's demands t.can be policy relating, staffing related and so many aspects within this west wing and that's overall the picture that the president doesn't like, that there's chaos happening inside the walls of the white house. >> chaos that stems from the president himself, as you said, according to the mueller report which is the basis of -- of countless hours of under oath testimony from his current

white. this is a guy helping someone break in and steal secrets. he may not be charged with espionage, but it's the same thing. >> dana: i do want to ask you about oneng. that is this idea about finding out the origins of the investigation into the trump campaign. president trump talked about that earlier as well. watch this. >> i think what he said was absolutely true. it was absolutely spying into my campaign. i'll go a step further. in my opinion, it was illegal spying, unprecedented spying and something that should never be allowed to happen in our country again. i think his answer was a very act crate one. they are also deeply unfair to the target of such investigations by tarnishing the reputation without a full airing of the evidence. your thoughts on that? >> from the beginning, to me, obviously, i have listened to the accusations about russian collusion and welcomed investigating that and getting to the bottom of it. at the end of the day, to me, from the very beginning, the most alarming part of all of this is the idea that you would have an outgoing administration approving the spying on a political opponent at the height of a presidentia
