jake sullivan tells cnn that hillary clinton will reel off a list of what he calls dangerous policies that trump backs related to nuclear proliferation, war crimes and banning muslims. among other things. all this while hillary clinton is keeping an eye on bernie sanders in california. they are neck and neck in polls. hillary clinton flew to california last night after a rally in new jersey. that is another big state with a primary on tuesday. cnn's jeff zeleny was there. >> reporter: john and christine, hillary clinton going after donald trump at some of the most pointed ways yesterday. saying he committed a fraud and scamming the american people over the trump university. >> his own employees testified that trump u, you can't make this up, that trump u was a fraudulent scheme where donald trump enriched himself at the expense of hard working people. >> reporter: hillary clinton is flying to california today as well. she realizes it is a tough race and new polls shows it is dead even. she is only up by two points. bernie sanders took delight in that wednesday as he campaigned there.

clinton is going to try to cast donald trump as being unfit to be commandeering chief, her aid jake sullivan who helped write this speech talking about how it is not just policy but an attempt to draw that contrast and to start to set donald trump out, not a normal candidate, the american people should not trust to be commandeering chief. the hillary clinton and campaign gave us this video this morning, take a look. >> we have to be unpredictable. >> would you rather in a sense from -- japan to have nuclear weapon. >> all of those comments designed to show why they believe donald trump should not be commandeering chief. the challenge, of course, for clinton here is she's still running in this california primary against bernie sanders and her own record in many ways hawkish. so far, she kept her quality occasions some what on the back burner for that reason, craig. >> kasie hunt for us there. katy turning to you. just so happen that trump has earned bad press in the recent interview with hollywood reporter, trump did not know the term breks it. how is he preparing these attacks? >> we do expe

. >> reporter: jake sullivan told reporters that donald trump is unlike any candidate we have seen and does not cross the threshold of fitness for the job. hillary clinton threatens to upset bernie supporters. and the latest field poll, shows her leading him by two points and john roberts pointed out and trump is hitting back at hillary clinton's record and senator barbara boxer came out saying trump is likely to run like insulter in chief than commander in chief. >> we will have a preview of that speech. thank you so much. >> 14 minutes past the hour now and we are getting started on america's headquarters. donald trump has and his biggest challenge in the general election. karl rove and joe trippi. we'll talk to them both, coming up. crowd sounds ] oooh! [ brakes screech ] when your pain reliever stops working, your whole day stops. excuse me, try this. but just one aleve can last 12 hours. tylenol and advil can quit after 6.

probe presented by the sandler and clinton's former chief is that cheryl nelson policy of isaac jake sullivane so-called, defenseless defendants who share the same lawyer. any critics say in this case there appears to be a conflict because defendants can share in the nation and potentially coordinate their stories. lauren: switching to the republican sid donald trump defended comments on the federal judge who presides over the trump university case comes after the presumptive gop presidential nominee said the judge's bias because of his mexican heritage. trump was on the o'reilly last night. >> i don't care if the judge is mexican or not. i'll do great for the mexican people because they provide jobs. we are being treated unfairly, bill. very, very unfairly. thousands of students have signed a document saying they learned a lot, a gradeschool, a great school, gave it high marks. by talking about it, people understand it's a civil lawsuit that should've been dismissed a long time ago. the judge is true demand fairly. lauren: trumps former russell's criticizing him for their marks at john kasic

clinton advisor jake sullivan previewed the speech saying "donald trump is unlike any presidential nominee we've seen in modern times and he is fundamentally unfit for the job." now, sullivan says clinton will highlight her experience on the world stage and talk at length about why trump is not qualified to run the country. he says "you will hear in her speech a confidence in america and our capacity to overcome the challenges we face while staying true to our values. a strong contrast to donald trump's incessant trash talking of america." now, yesterday on the campaign trail clinton herself gave us a little preview of what to expect. >> donald trump has disqualified himself completely. [ applause ] he has attacked our closest allies, he's said let's pull out of nato, he has praised the dictator of manorth korea, he's advocated more countries getting nuclear weapons. >> this will be clinton's first major foreign policy speech since trump became the nominee and the speech is aimed at several key audiences. she's trying to win over those "never trump" republicans who are part of the national

. >> jake sullivan saying it was a local reaction saying there is a, quote, profound difference betweenand picking the president and commander in chief. one is a thing. you know, the eu, which does represent something. but here it's two candidates. does jake have a point when he says that, or do you think he's trying to spin it? >> i think the clinton campaign is desperately trying to spin this especially because she came out against this move. she was on the opposite side of it. and their claim that sort of this uncertainty demands somebody who will provide a lot more certainty, hillary clinton. it isn't necessarily going to fall in her direction. no matter what the economic ramifications of brexit are for the global economy. donald trump, i think, can spin this into a victory, which is, if the markets remain uncertain trump can say, look, you have got the establishment. you have the ruling class already. you have barack obama and hillary clinton. you need somebody different who can come in and change things and fix them and make them more stable. meanwhile, if things go well, if the e

records and those of her closest aides, including then chief of staff cheryl mills, policy advisor jake sullivanrtment management secretary patrick kennedy, as well a is clinton's i.t. specialist, bryan p pagliano who got the immunity. "as these requests would require the agency to locate, review, redact and arrange for inspection, a vast quantity of material, the agency need not honor them. foia requests are not supposed to be labored over for generations." just within the last few minutes the state department was asked to address this 75-year delay. >> it is a very broad range involving a number of people over a period of four years, and it's not an outlandish estimation, believe it or not. >> not outlandish. >> according to the court filing, the state department lawyers maintain that the rnc's request for records is overly broad and therefore should not have to respond. but they are standing by this term of 75 years to process all those requests. remember, pagliano's e-mail file was missing so they had to go locate it in the first place. >> if there hadn't been a private server going through

this is devastating, out rage just stuff, encapsulated from one email to huma abedin and jake sullivan don't send hrc sensitive stuff now. i will explain later. melissa: unbelievable. unbelievable. morgan, i want to make sure i'm understanding this right. state department, not clinton email, might be what we said in the introduction, the state department put down their guard, took down their firewall and their security features because she was having problems communicating with them from her own private server? how dangerous is that? how bizarre is that? what does that tell you? >> first of all, good to see you again. glad to be back on with you. look, this is a case where obviously convenience just trumps security. i can't tell you, i was appalled when i started reading some of this. biggest fear because of this, shut down amount at this virus and content, detecting spear phishing and emails. that is number one tactic used by russians and chinese to penetrate our systems ukraine, power outage was caused through spear phishing, delivering malicious software, black energy. if people don

including then-chief of staff sheryl mills, policy adviser jake sullivan and senior state department manager patrick kennedy. quote it would take 16 2/3 years to complete the review of the mills documents, 33 1/3 years to complete the review of the sullivan documents. >> a broad range of people over four years, it's not an outlandish estimation, believe it or not. >> the rnc was asked tothe scop request as the fbi asked to file a second secret declaration in a lawsuit by vice news about the status of its ongoing criminal investigation of the clinton emails. bret? >> thank you. >> president obama is said to be iching to put his mark on the democratic campaign for successor. what will that mark be. chief washington correspondent james rosen explores the possibilities. >> by all knts, president obama is raring to go for the fall election, eager to help the democratic party take on presumptive republican nominee, donald trump but a spokesman stopped short of describing the president's involvement as essential to a democratic victory. >> the president is an important validator. the presid

in this case,clinton's former chief of staff cheryl mills, policy advisor jake sullivan, clinton gateline riots as well as heather samuelson who decided which emails to destroy and which emails to share with the state department . they all share the same attorney. >> each of those potential targets were subjects of the investigation get to share information across that same attorney and quite frankly get their story to sync up and understand what other people know of the situation. reporter: whitaker's group has also filed a freedom of information lawsuit to get the emails of dennis chang who was mrs. clinton's deputy chief of protocol, only a handful of his emails were released by the state department. he was considered a point person between the state department and the clinton foundation. on the sunday talk shows, mrs. clinton dismissed the independent findings of the state department's inspector general that her email practices broke the rules and violated the law to keep government records. >> i thought that the report actually made it clear that the practice i used was used by o

senior clinton policy adviser jake sullivan who helped draft that speech say, quote, that clinton will go beyond specific policies and she will make clear that the choice in this election goes beyondi partisanship. donald trump is unlike any nominee we've seen in modern times and is sfumt fundamentallt for the job. now, clinton of course still fighting to make her race solely against donald trump. she still has that issue of california in the democratic primary to do deal with. our brand new nbc wall street journal marist poll shows at what one point was a double digit lead is now just two points, 47% for clinton. and the field poll, clinton also up only two points. 45% to 43% over bernie sanders. and in california this morning, kasie hunt trailing the clinton campaign and hallie jackson on the trump beat. so kasie, let's start with you. these numbers reveal exactly what the clinton campaign has been seeing on its own, they dispatched hillary clinton, bill clinton, they know there is a chance they could lose this state. >> reporter: drayeah, i was no surprised by the results of either

they are representing cheryl mills, policy adviser jake sullivan, gatekeeper felipe reines and heather sam nullson who decided which e-mails were personal and which were government business. former u.s. attorneys say the legal maneuvers can create legal challenges for investigators. >> all you're trying to do is seek the truth and when someone is sharing a lawyer you worry about that the interview that you just did an hour ago with that attorney has been shared with the next witness and they could fix or reconcile their story to be the same or similar to the previous witness. >> reporter: whitaker's group has also filed a freedom of information act lawsuit to get the details from denis chang, mrs. clinton's deputy chief of protocol. and only a handful of his e-mails were released by the state department and he's considered to be the link or point person between the clinton foundation and the mrs. clinton. >> thank you. >>> another alert to tell you about the cincinnati zoo controversy. the mother of the boy who fell into the gorilla enclosure resulting in the killing will not have char

in particular, her aides say a top aide jake sullivan giving a preview of what she's going to say today he says quote, clinton's critique will go beyond specific policies and she'll make clear that the choice in this election goes beyond partisanship. donald trump is unlike any presidential nominee we've seen in modern times and he's fu fundamentally unfit for the job. that's what you're going to hear today from secretary clinton hitting on this idea that he is unfit to be president of the united states. this is going to be her first major foreign policy speech since donald trump became the presumptive republican nominee. of course her challenge is she's here in california because she is still fighting against bernie sanders and of course sanders has been camped out here in california for the past couple of weeks, speaking to their goal, hundreds and thousands of people are -- at least 160,000 people so far in the last couple of weeks for bernie sanders. and of course, for hillary clinton, that presents something of a challenge. she was expected to stay on east coast for much of this we

jake sullivan, top foreign policy adviser, a real rising star in american policy. helped her with the speech. but, you know, he's a deal-maker and as a business person pointed out to me tonight, deal-makers don't have big staff. they do it themselves, they have people. but business people have to have big teams and he's not used to having big teams. and i think -- he's sort of winging it. and i think she showed today, it helps to have people behind you who can come out with -- really well-done -- well-crafted speeches like this. >> thanks to all. and next, breaking news. a new pro trump super pac formed today. how much did it raise in a few hours. all the breaking details. later on "outfront." and the ucla shooter. a woman found dead in minnesota, who was on that list. who else is on that list and how trump really feels about a woman's role. >> i don't want to sound too much like a chauvinist. but when i come home and dinner is not ready, i go through the roof. you wouldn't order szechuan without checking the spice level. it really opens the passages. waiter. water

jake sullivan, hillary clinton's senior policy adviser, is the one who is really weighing in on this giving a lot of details about what we're expecting to hear from clinton when she gives her speech in san diego. according to what he is saying, clinton will focus extensively on donald trump and what donald trump has said about foreign policy, and let me give you a quote here. he says clinton will rebuke a litany of dangerous policies that trump has espoused ranging from nuclear proliferation to endorsing war crimes, from denouncing nato to banning muslims from the united states. that's just part of it. sullivan also saying what you will hear in clinton's speech is a confidence in america. he says a confidence that you're not hearing from trump going forward, and saying that clinton will talk about the country's capacity to, quote, overcome challenges. he says a stark contrast to what trump has been doing and he called what trump has been saying, quote, incessant trash talking of america. so this is what will we're expecting to hear from clinton when she takes the stage in san diego.

>> my sense was a big key to this speech was jake sullivan, one of her closest aides worked with her through the state department, played a huge hand in writing the speech. you heard a lot of his voice in this and they worked together on pulling it together. you got the sense that while it felt like she knew what words were coming up next, she also had a good sense of the room and she delivered those mocking lines in a way that, while perhaps rehearsed, also played off of the crowd, very distinctly. usually you come into a speech like this, 14 american flags over my shoulder and think the mood will be somber and we will be talking about somber things. this crowd wasn't in the mood to do that. they were laughing along with the mocking lines she delivered and it fed into how she performed over the course of the whole speech. >> yeah. wonderful stings in it, didn't you think? the serious, discerning foreign policy may vep and then those wonderful little shots that she intermingled with the serious policy stuff. i thought it was a hell of a speech. thank you so much. out in san diego, wh

jake sullivan says if trump is behind the wheel, he will drive the economy off the cliff.nald trump leading in the polls on who is best to handle the economy? >> i think what hillary will do today is similar to what she did in san diego on foreign policy in terms of contrasting with trump. she took his direct words and his policies and contrasted them with her vision for america, and she's going to do that today. after san diego her numbers in terms of who would do a better job as commander in chief went up. i think after today's speech, her numbers in terms of the economy will go up, and you will see that. tomorrow she's going to give another speech on the economy, really more focusing on her vision. so i think the one-two punch will be very effective for hillary clinton today. >> if you look at the current snapshot in time, the current cnn poll, if you look at it, she has successfully -- she's done a good job of branding him as temperamentally unfit at least for the moment ton president. that's one of the things that we're seeing in the poll. he successfully branded her

jake sullivan said to her, they're putting together an op-ed where she could all articulate a clinton doctrine. so i think of all the form policy issues that she is vulnerable on, this is a major one, perhaps the biggest because she latched herself so visibly to it and because it was clear that her role was the pivotal one. she was not not one of several voices, she was the critical voice. >> another that is very closely tied to her relationship with the israeli-palestinian conflict, as well as the larger middle east is her approach to the iran negotiation the way she now is embracing it. talk about the secret negotiations, the overture, and her nature in terms of the israeli palestinian and i would argue, iraq. the entire time she was secretary of state she only went once to iraq on a saturday. i i was with her, it was not an overnight. and yes joe biden had the iraq account, but she knew a loser when she saw. so how much responsibility now should she be taking in the debates to come for the subsequent failures to stand up to proper government and to invest too much in malik e and th

in fact, jake sullivan sent an e-mail to -- one of the things we discovered in our information where he talks about leadership sturks wardship, ownership of this policy from start to finish, this was something hillary clinton pushed for and got done but maybe the better one is the e-mail from sidney blumenthal. a few days after qaddafi has been removed he sends an e-mail to the secretary and he says "this is a big moment, you should do a press event, even if it's in the driveway of your vacation home." and he finishes the e-mail with this statement. "this is a big moment, you are vindicated, don't wait, help cleo now." cleo, of course, is the goddess of history. so they were committed to this. they were invested in this. this was it. this was how it's supposed to work in their administration in their state department. and they were so committed it didn't matter that there were 200 security incidents between the time blumenthal sent the e-mail and when the terrorist attack happened. it didn't matter that one diplomatic security agent went to benghazi, did his service and came back and
