. >> for more insight we turn to chief washington correspondent and face the nation host john dickerson. john, homeland security secretary john kelly starts his new job as chief of staff on monday. replacing reince preibus. will kelly be table to restore order in the white house? >> well the root to order in the white house for a chief of staff usually relies on two important things. one is limiting the number of people who have access to the president. you do that because the more people have access the more it up-ends the, the plans that the rest of the executive branch have put in place. you need to be a gatekeeper. then on the other hand the second important skill is telling the president no, or convincing the president to do things he doesn't want to do. if general kelly or secretary kelly can do those things, then they're, the white house will be back on path, and in terms of, helping the president's agenda. if not there may be more chaos. >> relations between the president and senate republicans seem to be deteriorating how will that affect the president's legislative agenda? >>

from face the nation moderator john dickerson joins us from washington, we see a drip of information on this fssia collusion story. how much of a turning point were elese emails released by donald trump, jr.? rt i think it was a turning point for two important reasons. first, the facts. the president's son was engaged in doing something that top officials including the vice president said no one in the campaign had done. and he even asked the question of when anyone did was offensive. so that is the first problem with the facts of the case. ha's further complicated by the fact that this is the president's flesh and blood, who operates outside of the white house. de how does the white house defend somebody who they're not really, it's not their job to defend him. but where everything that happens with respect to the president's son, does have a real impact on the president and his agenda. >> quijano: well, i want to ask you about health care as well, john. senate majority leader mitch tconnell announced saturday that the senate will delay a vote on the health-care bill while senator m

let's not be so divided. >> dickerson: chief brown, thank you so much for being with us. >> dickerson: thanks, john and we'll be right back with our political panel. >> dickerson: we're joined now by our political panel. margaret brennan is cbs news white house and senior foreign affairs correspondent. david ignatiusçó is a columnistt the "washington post," candy crowley -- michael crowley is a political senior affairs correspondent, and david nakamura is with the "washington post." margaret, welcome back from your trip. what was the administration's view of this meeting with russian president putin? >> well, the administration believes now that they've checked the box. they've handled the issue of russian hacking by speaking directly to vladimir putin. the only account of that meeting was described to us by secretary of state rex tillerson. administration official in that very small meeting, and as described by russian officials, in their on-camera press conferences, both from their foreign minister and vladimir putin, they said president trump accepted their denials. and agreed to move forward. s

always good to get the insights of our chief washington correspondent and "face the nation" host john dickerson. i spoke with him earlier. john, on twitter sunday the president offered his own readout of the putin meeting writing i strongly pressed president putin twice about russian med eling in our election, he vemently denighted it. it is time to move forward working constructively with russia. what are the implications of that as a statement of the administration position. >> it is a bit of attention with itself. on the one hand the president wants toker cloo up any miss impression anybody may have about how tough i was on the russians which is to say he wants to make sure people believe the actions he took in that comeet meeting with commencement with the offense if that is the case, then it would seem at odds with that that he wants to move on because this is an issue so serious that he had to press the russian president twice. the president talked about a joint cyberunit with the russians which has gotten some derisive comments from democrats and republicans since he announced it he also

here to dis face the nation host john dickerson. more than two hours the headlines are going to the interference in the election but do we know what the greatest substance of conversation focused on? >> we know that a lot is focused on syria and there was disagreement to a cease-fire in syria which is a big deal relative to where the us russia relations have been. they have gotten a little more heated so the fact there is any agreement to anything is a de- escalation in the tension between russian troops and american forces. so, there was a lot of talk about that. other payoffs we won't know for a little while. they talked about the situation in ukraine. president trump is focused on north korea. he could get some help there or needs some help from the russians on that. so, we're still figuring out details for what was talked about but we might not know for a little while the truths of that to our 15 minute meeting. >> we know that rex tillerson had a debrief after he was in the room as well as the russian foreign secretary. a lot t

let's bring in our chief washington correspondent and "face the nation" host john dickerson. so john, what do we know about anthony scaramucci's approach to his new role? >> well, it's to be publicly a warrior for the president and to say that really nothing needs to be changed. and then to change some things. and he clearly is just a booster for the president, that's part of what his role was in conversation. and i think then the real question will be will he amplify the president's voice already pretty amplified in this presidency or will he take those moments where the president has interrupted his own agenda and keep the president from doing so. a lot of people have tried. we'll see if the new communications director will do it. >> quijano: the president's son in law jared kushner speaks with house and senate intelligence committee this week. dn ald trump, jr. and the president's former campaign chairman paul manafort are speaking to senate investigators as well. what is at stake in those appearances. >> well, what is at stake is the big and the little, so the big is obvio

we turn now to john dickerson, our chief washington correspondent and anchor of "face the nation." john, as nancy pointed out, robert mueller enjoys an excellent reputation almost everywhere it seems except the white house. is this strategy risky for the trump team? >> well, the risk for the trump team is that they make these claims, raise these issues about robert mueller and you get immediate validation of mueller's work by republicans. so if the president wants to say it's a witch-hunt, then you have marco rubio and paul ryan, you know, republican voices saying it's not, they trust him, it's sort of... it reenergizes the legitimacy of the work that mueller is doing. when the president went after former f.b.i. director james comey and said a number of highly critical things, saying he lied, it was interesting that very few republicans followed him along in that. so it puts the president out on an island. and this is a way in which anthony scaramucci's job will be a challenge. these comments the president made to the "new york times," they help preserve the president perhaps in ter

john dickerson has been watching the passing parade from his vantage point as our chief washington correspondentnd anchor of "face the nation." john what, do you make of the reince preibus firing today? >> reporter: well, it was a ratificationave very grim performance assessment that incoming and new communications director anthony scaramucci gave in that interview to "the new yorker." he was dripping with contempt when he described priebus and senior adviser steve bannon and really a white house in which everybody seemed to be out for themselves and not working for the president. the president, by firing or getting rid of priebus and replacing him, seems to be buying into that view and that assessment that scaramucci gave. >> mason: is this likely to calm things down, john? where does the white house go from here? >> reporter: well, in white houses that have had these kinds of turmoils -- jimmy carter at one point got rid of five cabinet officials in two days-- the challenge is this-- is it just the names in those offices? is that all that needs to be fixed? or is there a bigger challenge, whic
