clearly it did embarrass kellyanne. i think the response kellyanne gave demonstrated and illustrated how uncomfortable it made her feel. again, i think spouses can have different perspectives and it shouldn't be on the wife, which it often is on the wife, to explain away her husband's political -- i identify with that comment. >> i understand and i appreciate you're pointing out this perspective. i think that's really helpful. let's just remember for one second that it is also president trump who has gone after ted cruz's wife, andrew mccabe's wife. >> yeah. >> so kellyanne conway saying you never go after the spouse, tell your boss. >> kellyanne clearly hit a nerve. i don't think kellyanne fought fair there. i thought it was really -- it was a little ugly the way reshe sponded to dahna. she was trying three different lines of attack. the better response would be my husband and i have different perspectives at politics and we're going to leave it at that. what do you think of that? >> sorry. >> i don't think there's any

dana bash asked kellyanne conway about that.exchange. >> he raised a lot of things that are also supportive and he raised a lot of things about corgis and sports, too. it is now fair game what people's -- how people's spouses and significant others may differ with them. >> kellyanne, here was my whole point in this, is that you are a professional working for the president of the united states. and your husband is a very well-respected lawyer, and my point is we don't often see, in fact, i don't remember the last time we saw somebody working for the president in a high-profile position when their spouse is saying critical things about them. that is all. that is all. >> that, a, is not true. there are other family members of people who work at the white house who certainly don't support the president privately and publicly. but i will tell you this, and there are people who have been in this administration who worked for democrats or gaive money to democrats. all of that aside, that is meant to divert attention from the big issues

kellyanne, so important the. steve: thanks for joining us. >> thank you. >> steve: breaking news at start the interview, starting in the next month or so the president of the united states will stop by fox and friends once a month. we will ask him hard questions. >> and as breaking news

>> kellyanne, here is my whole point. it's that you are a professional working for the president of the united states and your husband is a very well respected lawyer and my point is that we don't often see, in fact i don't remember the last time we saw somebody working for the president in a high profile position when their spouse is saying critical things about them, that is all. >> that, a, is not true, there are other family members of people who work at the white house, who certainly don't support the president privately and publicly. but i will tell you this, there are people who have been in this administration who worked for democrats or gave money to democrats, but all that aside, that really is meant to divert attention from the big issues that america cares about. like i said, cnn intends to go there, it's going to be fascinating moving forward. i do want you to clarify for the whole worldwide audience and for me since you raised me. difficult for whom to have two adults -- are you talking about my children who

kellyanne conway was asked about removal of several of his tweets.as asked about that on "state of the union." >> i just to want ask you one question that a lot of people are asking me, probably you, too. that is what is up with your husband's tweets? your husband is a very well-respected lawyer and he's been sending tweets to the administration. as an example, he says, president trump's aides are reluctant to speak because they contradict him. and your husband wrote, so true. it's absurd. >> number one, that woman who lost the election who i never see on tv anymore is wrong. i think she said white women have to listen to the men in her life to form their own political opinions. wrong again. number two, it's fascinating to me that cnn would go there, but it's good for the whole world to have just witnessed. that is now fair game how people's spouses and significant others may differ with them. i'm really surprised, but very, in some ways, relieved and gratified to see that. that should really be fine. >> first of all, i would ask you that if you were

still a lot of news this morning kellyanne, the counselor to the president. announces the president will be with shinzo abe, the prime minister of japan in april. talking about north korea? >> yes. absolutely continue international campaign of maximum pressure on north very. the prime minister will come to mar-a-lago after the president's trip to colombia. president trump has establish ad great relationship with relationship with president abe. they have been able to from the beginning that february meeting at mar-a-lago a year ago really worked together on issues that affect obviously our two nations but also that entire region. talking about the cornerstone is peace and stability. obviously economic issues. but, very much on everybody's mind now is north korea. you know, abby, should be lost on no one, that the president in -- like they have never seen the media freaked out. they were all, what is he doing. the president accepts a invitation, possibly under his conditions to come to the table, and they freak out. he will continue what he is doing trying to

kellyanne conway. she joins us live from the white house. kellyanne, thank you for joining this morning. >> hi, george. >> we saw a lot from the president on twitter before the james comey interview. did he watch last night? what's his reaction? >> i spoke with the president before the interview and the president reminded me that jim comey said publicly that he felt nervous before he met the president, admitted that to you. what we don't understand is why, if you're going to meet the president of the united states, the president-elect you're not saying, my ticker list is i've got to tell him about the russian interference, i must tell him about the investigations that are ongoing. instead, he takes time to talk about the size of his hands and length of his tie. that's really gutter and the fact that mr. comey admitted to you that he allowed polling and politics to influence his decision is much why rod rosenstein, the deputy attorney general, in a scathing memo on may 9th and others, other former attorneys general had called for mr. comey to

i don't think dana wanted to bash kellyanne conway.has tens of thousands of followers on twitter and i agree with kellyann being able to stand her ground when she needed to. >> jon: she did well. you go back to the campaign when hillary clinton, donald trump was facing all kinds of accusations about the access hollywood tape. nobody was asking hillary clinton about the guy she's married to. it does seem sometimes there's a double standard in that regard. >> i think people were bringing up bill clinton during the campaign. they made the case on a lot of democrats were put in a very tough position to be able to criticize donald trump when they had supported bill clinton in the past. bill clinton wasn't on the ballot but still being asked about in the same way that kellyanne conway's husband became news because he was disagreeing with the trump administration. to be fair here, jon, he's a very strong supporter of the trump administration. he has some critiques, some things that were done wrong. it's like something that you or i might do i

finitely start ting to heat up and i'm here with kellyanne conway. >> hi, how are you? >> good. thank you so much. do you feel that the president should have been in the room to the sort of take the joke? >> oh, the president has a great state of humor, but he is going to be touting the success that he has helped to the foster in 60 short months, and so you have 5 million americans receiving bonuses or raises or both due to the tax cuts and the jobs a act and this president with the regulatory reform, and the historic talks between north and south korea and even as recently as today's news, we have been talking about putting to rest a decades' long war between the two countries and the president has set the climate. he wanted to go to michigan to talk about reciprocal and fair trade and what he has done for the race. and that is the last place he mentioned on technically election day, and so it is sentimental to him and his team. >> and it is great that he is able to do that just like last year he did that in pennsylvania, but what about sort of having the interface with the pre

kellyanne, good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: couple days ago after the president tweeted look out they are coming. seemed like the strike might happen right then, the next day, how here we are a couple of days later. people are presuming that we're just verifying things. we are making plans. do you think that's accurate? >> well, it's accurate that the president was being very deliberative and very careful in making sure that what our intelligence community suspected happened indeed did happen. and the president has also said that he will hold responsible syria, iran, russia, anybody who is causing trouble in that area that leads to the death and destruction of innocent civilians. and people will note that almost to the day, one year ago, when assad gassed his own people, this president took swift ax as well h action . when those are verified he act accordingly. the same here. syria must allow international cooperation. they must allow monitoring in the area. and assad has been terrible to his people and this is a preside

administration, we are joined by counselor to the president kellyanne conway live from the warehouse. good evening. thanks for joining us. i want to start where john left off and that is reporting the nomination is moving forward and that ronny jackson is going to still be the nominee for va secretary. >> that's his intention. i talked to dr. jackson this afternoon. i spoke with the president. dr. jackson is made clear he wants a fight. we cannot allow anyone to be criticized and vetted and concluded upon in the press. or it's just through allegations. that's what hearings are for. if dr. jackson is willing to go and raise his right hand and answer questions, then the whole world can see that, and it's called a confirmation hearing. i would really push back heartily at the democratic senator chris murphy singh may be the president will do a better job venting his people. these are the fitness report counseling records from president obama, high mark stuart varney jackson. most impressive leader who continues to perform at the flag officer level. ronny has earned my confidence and grat

kellyanne not one of them.her day to be able to tell the truth about what went on there, she is going to have a very revealing and not surprising story to tell. in terms of what transpired there. i have never known her to leak, to do anything like that. i know other people who have, that's for sure. >> juan: greg, the last thing i would say is that according to kessler, ivanka and jerrod are problems. that's what kessler writes. and that they were involved with firing comey and hiring scaramucci. >> greg: i don't think kellyanne is the leaker. she is a human being. this white house is not a perfect white house. it is a human being white house. people talk and complain and vent. i don't think anybody is actually leaking. they are venting. people hear it. i have an idea forests segment. leak of the day. sponsored by poise. it would be great. >> jesse: got to go. >> juan: you want to get out of here. "one more thing" is next. we came with big appetites. with expedia, you could book a flight, hotel, car, and activi

kellyanne's fun, that's why we're here with kellyanne, have fun, see old friends.great to be back in washington. >> so what is great about this is it is a little bit more fun. often when you're on certain shows you're going head to head with the press a lot of the time. >> but i am having fun. they may not know it. >> in this room does the vibe really loosen up? does it feel much different for you in there? >> yes, but i wake up every day and choose to be happy, so i'm probably not a good person to ask. i really don't read 99% of the negative because it's so unthoughtful. we just have -- i'm so blessed to walk into that white house every day and have a job to do on behalf of the country i love. i was raised by a single mom. taught to believe in yourself, taught you can do anything you want, and i'm grateful for that. i'm grateful to this president and vice president for showing such great leadership domestically and around the globe. i'm probably not a good person to ask because i don't like to walk around being negative. i'm part of that happy out of the 15% of am

. >> hold on hold on kellyanne, kellyanne i'm not saying you're wrong what you're saying about richmond. >> you can have richmond on the program tomorrow. >> i would love to i ask people to come on all the time whether or not they say yes is ditch. >> he said he gave it to his counsel to help in giving good division for his potential defense. i want to see why you think it matters whom he gave it to to disseminate to the media. why does it matter whether his wife or some lose affiliation with the fbi orr a realtime agent with the fbi? how does that change the nature of comey's decision with respect to the memos and whap its importance is in the overall dialogue? >> well, in this case, we have only been told he was a friend and a columbia professor. it's relevant because the man was at the fbi when all of the investigations and other things were going on. it's relevant because you don't know what other access to information he had. so if this man is speaking to the press with a comey memo in his hand, then how do you know what else he knows or doesn't know doesn't you think that's a legi

>> well, look, kellyanne is a friend of mine. i speak with her as well as a lot of people at the white house. on a regular basis. and the president has full confidence in her. ana, you've been around long f enough the reason people leak, they want to look like a big shot to reporters and number two they want to take someone down. lynn talks to them all the time. those are key reasons a lot of times people leak. first of all kellyanne is a big shot, doesn't need to prove herself in that bay way to repos and it's not in nature to go behind their back and take them down. clearly this author may have felt like she was providing more information than others but that's not in her nature to leak information and be disparaging to other people and doesn't have anything to prove. my understanding, the president has full confidence in her an this isn't going to alter her standing in the white house in any way. >> lynn, here's what conway has said about white house leaks in the past. >> if people are running to the media to leak and not prov

kellyanne conway walks in. and i said, oh my gosh, what's kellyanne going to say.she going to, just walking right past me. she gives me a big hug and as i'm talking to her, michael avenatti walks over and iwitnessiwitness them meeting for the first time and someone captures it with camera. you have to have f a sense of humo humor. we have differences, but we have to come together and talk and live together. >> this is my old gig. remember, pops. we used to hang out and do this. i love doing this. >> exact except now you're the celebrity walking the red red carpet and i'm stuck here with berman for five hours. >> this is my boyfriend, we're all friends. how are you, poppy? >> hi, tim. they came all the way from harlem to brooklyn last night to meet the baby and don remarked at how far it was to get there. but thank you for coming. >> amazingly, not about being at the party tonight. >> the white house correspondents' dinner brought to you by don lemon and don lemon's instagram. >> i loved you in the boston marathon. you were awesome. >> c congratulations. >> the reas

that's exactly what she did, focused on the two women kellyanne conway and sarah huckabee sanders and it was a sad commentary for a woman that supposedly is all about women for her to stand up there and just brutally abuse them in front of, you know, thousands of people and then the entire united states. liz: you know, the new york times nbc's andrea michelle, msnbc all condemning what happened saturday night but cnn new day not going as far. let's watch. i heard you and chris talk about this all morning i get that but if you're going to act like there's a moral superiority which many people in that dinner did, they act like they're better and the truth tellers. >> shouldn't the president be better? >> let me finish. when you say it's about the first amendment and somehow reporters are keeping the president honest you said in this interview oh, but we have to do the truth-o-meter an say when he's wrong then i just say to all of you taking that moral high ground you better be right. you better be right all the time and you better make sure that the american people respect that you don'

. >> hope hicks or kellyanne conway? >> kellyanne.wing kellyanne at the white house, she forgot that she was on the record and she started lashing into reince priebus, she said the most mean cutting and obviously untrue things about reince and i didn't include them in the book because they were so unfair. she also let into jared and ivanka saying that they leak against steve bannon. and i know that white house aides have seen texts that she has sent to other journalists, dis'ing her colleagues, leaking material, because if you wonder why there's so many leaks at the white house, one reason is kellyanne is the number one leaker. >> a defender of kellyanne might say that you clearly interviewed in addition to her for the book, you clearly interviewed bannon and priebus and spicer, and maybe it is other people who are saying that about her, but instead of getting into the weeds on kellyanne, i want to ask you about some of the other issues in the book. >> and with kellyanne, it was reince priebus and jared and ivan ivan ivanka. >> you ca

here with me is counselor to the president, kellyanne conway.ellyanne, thank you so much for coming in. appreciate it. >> hi. >> okay. so you just heard me mention that tweet, the president talking about michael cohen, saying the people will flip if the government lets them out of trouble. why is the president talking about the notion of michael cohen flipping if the president didn't do anything wrong? >> you have to look at everything the president said about michael cohen and the fbi raid. he's defending someone he has worked with and known for a dozen plus years, dana, who he thinks is being treated unfairly. look at what happened this week. a tale of two -- two tales, if you will. jim comey going out on a big book tour after saying, i don't leak, i'm not sneaky, i don't make any weasel moves, doing all of the above. more on that in a moment. and then michael cohen, who the president believes is being treated unfairly at this moment. also, the methods really have disturbed the president. he said in the cabinet room when he first got word of t

kellyann petrucci. and america's healthy heart doc, dr. joel kahn.f the world's top cardiologists. to find out how the superfoods in grown american superfood can help you live a longer and healthier life. - with me today is dr. joel kahn. america's heart healthy cardiologist who literally wrote the book on healing from the inside out. welcome to the show, doctor kahn. - well thank you, dr. kellyann. i'm excited to be here. - so the research really is there. the link behind modern day diseases and the effect that fruit and vegetables has on them. - the single most important decision we make everyday is whether we're putting super junk or superfoods into our body. 80 to 90% of the patients i see are because of food choices. 80 to 90% is the lack of adequate fruit and vegetables in the diet. 80 to 90% of those diseases don't need to happen. - i mean, there's actually studies to back this up, right? - there is a study out of england that was over 60,000 people. those that were eating five to six to seven servings a day, they actually reduced their chance

kellyanne conway, mercedes schlapp.an gidley, at the end of the show eric trump and his wife laura. and hopefully they bring their baby little luke for us all to see. we will be here all morning. we hope you will join us. the sun coming out. brian: did you talk to him. >> i did just smell some bacon. i think they might be making breakfast. if he is watching and wants to brings us out some bacon we would love that. steve: roux saying the president is on the atkins diet? ainsley: maybe he will bring you warm coffee, too. ainsley: i would love that too. see you soon. ainsley: so glad you are back, abby. did you bring your daughter? abby: i wish. she is a little young. maybe next year. it's a little chilly so maybe best. ainsley: thank you. brian: coming up straight ahead, attorney general jeff sessions appointed a special prosecutor not a second counsel. did he make the right move. law professor jonathan turley says yes and that's what he looks like. ainsley: an officer science off for the last time after 37 years. his mes

we heard from kellyanne conway, one of those around him. in case you are just joining us here is a clip of what she had had to say this morning. >> the president thinks that jim comey is engaging in revisionist history. if he objected to anything he witnessed in meetings he should have said so. jim comey loves to be in the center of power. he loves to divert the spot light to himself. this man had no political instincts whatsoever. he was wrong about the election. he went from bogue a public servi servant to a public relations spin artist. >> trump's dub comey slippery. the president will be on camera in just a few minutes. later this afternoon opportunities for him to comment again on this interview. we know comey is not going away. he is about to embark on kind of a book tour and go on all kinds of different media shows and outlets. how ugly could this get? >> let's take a step back and recall how wild this thing is. you have former fbi director who was fired by the president openly and the president openly feuding with one another. this

but this was about kellyanne conway. take a listen. >> you have to stop putting kellyanne on your shows. all she does is lie. if you don't give her a platf m platform, she has nowhere to line. if a tree falls in the woods, how do we get kellyanne under that tree? i'm not suggesting she gets hurt, just stuck. >> people did laugh there. >> yeah. that wasn't one of the lines that was as cringeworthy as what we were watching in the coverage. you and i weren't there. i don't go ever unless i'm told. the point is you can disagree about what's funny and what's not funny. going after people's looks is wrong. i thought it was wrong when saturday night did it. but the hypocrisy of people who support the president said, this is wrong. she said mean things. the president says stuff all the time and he's not joking. he means it when he mocks people and tries to divide people. where's your outrage about that? >> we are in a peculiar problem when we lower ourselves to a lower standard than the president does. you get into debates about

does that surprise you that is attributed to kellyanne conway? >> that actually does surprise me, ron. i've known kellyanne conway for a number of years while writing my book, and just over the years as an advocate for public women. there are a lot of people in this white house talking to the press. there are a lot of people who speak incredibly frankly to the press. sometimes you see that even with people who -- for example, anthony scaramuchi. i think if you got rid of kellyanne conway or a number of them, things flow from the top. this is a president who is obsessed with the media. he's obsessed with how people appear on television, and he himself have called people on television and leaked to them. that is the culture of the white house. >> even if she were the number one leaker, the amount of leaks coming out of this white house would be difficult to pin down on just one person. excellent point, j. >>> now to escalating tensions in sacramento. protesters marching for another night demanding justice for stephon clark, the unarmed black man sh

staffer, kellyanne conway, wouldn't go quite that far. >> is the president sending that message? >> the president is not sending that message. >> what message is he sending, i guess? >> why is he pardoning "scooter" libby zbh. >> i can't confirm that. but many people think that

. >> so speaking of the press, you have said most interestingly, that kellyanne conway is the number one leaker in the white house. so why does the president still keep her around? >> well i don't think he was aware of it until now. and hopefully he's read my book, i sent to him autographed with an asterisk to the last page which says he will be seen as one of the greatest presidents. but when i interviewed kellyanne at the white house and it was recorded, she apparently forgot that she was on the record. she started lashing into reince priebus, into jared and ivanka. making these obviously untrue statements about reince. saying that jared and ivanka are leakers. i interviewed aides who say that they had seen text messages that she has sent to reporters, in which she leaks. so it's something that you know gets around. but i don't think trump knows about it. >> another thing that you allege is that rather you write, i want to get to an allegation in just a moment. you write that first lady melania trump has a tremendous impact on policy and strategy. what did you see, ronald, that mad

here with me is counselor to the president kellyanne conway. thank you for coming in. appreciate it. you just heard the president talking about michael cohen saying people will flip if the government lets them out of trouble. he thinks cohen won't do that. why is the president talking about the notion of michael cohen flipping if the president didn't do anything wrong. >> a look at everything the president said about michael cohen. he is defending someone who has worked with and known for a dozen plus years who he thinks is being treated unfairly. two tales. you have jim comey going out on a big book tour after say yg don't leak, i'm not sneaky and doing all of the above. more on that in a moment. and then you have michael cohen who the president believes is being treated unfairly at this moment. the methods really have disserved the president. he said in the cabinet room when he got word of the raid that he felt the methods were a, quote, disgrace. that should concern everyone. no one is talking about the contents of the documents. people are speculating. but the meth

joining us now is kellyanne conway. it's good to have you this morning. important day to have you. is it true that the president watched last night and what did he think? >> the president thinks that jim comey is engaging in revisionist history. if he objected to anything witnessed in his limited few meetings with president trump he should have said so. why not run out of the oval office and say come back? why not swing the door open? why not ask who else is coming to dinner if you don't want to have dinner alone with the president? jim comey loves to be in the center of power. he loves to divert the spot light to himself and be in the center of power. the president is correcting the record because there were two people involved in the conversations. you can't say that mccabe is a credible person when we just learned in the report from friday that he lied four times three times under oath. they were running an fbi of honorable men and women. at the tippy top people in charge of the clinton investigation were clinton people. this was a hot mess and jim comey was too busy running out

. >> reporter: kellyanne conway, one of trump's most vocal supporters. her husband george conway making it clear he thinks for himself. retweeting an article blasting gop attempts to discredit the book. conway a staunch republican has repeatedly criticized the president on twitter and often contradicts him and his wife of over 15 years. one of conway's most -- after the fbi raided the office of trump's lawyer michael cohen, the raid reportedly enraged trump. >> it's a disgraceful situation, it's a total witch hunt. >> reporter: he called the report that trump's lawyer discussed pardons for the top aids of those in the russia investigation flabbergasting. but in the past few weeks, conway has begun deleting some retweets that have become particularly critical of the trump administration, one that said, cohen's payment to stormy daniels violated campaign finance laws. and one from george collins that said that his flip-his wife kellyanne is reportedly being considered for that job. last year, george conway was under consideration for a justice department p

a little later, kellyanne conway a little later, kellyanne conway joins (sfx: shopping mall ambience)p conversation) ♪oo waa ahhh ♪wooooo oo waa ahhh ♪it's a beautiful mornin' thank you ♪it's a beautiful mornin' ♪ahhh ♪each bird keeps singin' his own song♪ ♪so long ♪i've got to be lou: joining us tonight, washington times opinion editor, charlie hurt. good to see you. >> great to see you, lou. lou: let's turn to gaudy and goodlatte and this deal they that cut with the justice department to get a third of the documents that they requested three weeks ago and they sent out a statement for crying out loud. >> we need a whole lot more of these documents. but it does, it absolutely underscores just how deeply entrenched the bur bureaucracy n washington that you have republicans in control of the house, republicans in control of the senate, you have republican in the white house, you supposedly have a vp administration and that even still we're not able to get these things. and it is absolutely astonishing, it's a crime. everybody that is obstructing justice here ought to be charged with it

did you see what kellyanne's husband tweeted? the larger question, i think what really made this resonate is the way that kellyanne conway often goes unseen and criticizes cnn coverage and tried to turn it back on danna and say if you ask me this then perhaps the spouses and significant others who work at cnn and journalists don't like that and i don't usually go there unless there are exceptions where journalist's spouse if a journalist is covering a candidate and the spouse works for that person that has to be enclosed. otherwise i think they should be kept separate. >> sandra: you know, kellyanne conway this ought to be fun moving forward, danna, you just went there and cnn went on there and cnn brought on a panel this morning to react to all that saying they viewed kellyanne conway's response to the question as a threat. another member of the panel said she was completely out of control. >> that suggests that when she is asked this kind of question she is not entitled to defend herself and push back. there is a double standar

that's not what kellyanne said. she said he did a terrible thing.e won us the election. >> it was a stunning thing. i saw that, too. i couldn't believe what i was reading. >> that being said, i think trump, with his political instinct, is smart to attack comey. i think this is a story of the pig versus the prig. the thing about the pig -- the thing about the pig, no matter how much mud is spattered on the pig, which is the president, very little extinction because you expect him to be covered in mud. a prig, the stain on his spotless shirt, you're going to say that's a stain on your shirt. that's the problem comey has. trump has comey's number, basically an unlikable scold who holds himself in very high moral regard. now, that may or may not be justified, but as a matter of public relations, jim comey is not coming across very well. and anything he says that doesn't stand up to minute scrutiny -- and he's already had a few blunders, is going to cost him in this contest between the two -- >> let me ask you, because the person who won't let comey -- t

fine, fine, let's play kellyanne's game. yes, it's true, obama praised ronny jackson and said he should be promoted but he never said he should be promoted to run the v.a. it's a government bureaucracy with 360,000 employees. you can't take that one recommend expaigz move it to something else. that's like looking great in a bath robe and someone makes you the new pope. that's not how it works. don't forget, don't forget, even if he didn't drink, even if he didn't drive drunk, he would still be far from qualified to run the v.a. and in a way, all those senators who oppose him are lucky that these drug and alcohol allegations are coming out. there's one thing we know, on its own, being completely unqualified for a position doesn't keep you out of donald trump's cabinet. if anything, it gets you in. >> as far as experience is concerned, the veterans administration, which is approximately 13 million people, is so big, you could run the biggest hospital system in the world, and it's small time compared to the veterans administrat

. >> reporter: wolf also roasted kellyanne conway. >> you guys got to stop putting kellyanne on your shows. all she does is lie. if you don't give her a platform, she has nowhere to lie. it's like that old saying, if a tree falls in the woods, how do we get kellyanne under that tree? i'm not suggesting she gets hurt, just stuck. stuck under a tree. >> reporter: this morning the white house correspondents' association responded to the criticism saying wolf's rant doesn't reflect the group's effort. in a statement the association president says the event was meant to offer a unifying message about our common commitment to a vigorous and free press, not to divide people. unfortunately, the entertainer's monologue was not in the spirit of that mission. president trump also blasted wolf sunday night tweeting, the white house correspondents' dinner was a failure last year but this year was an embarrassment to everyone associated with it. the filthy comedian totally bombed, put the dinner to rest. start over. >> hello, michigan. hello, michigan. >> reporter: the president skipped the dinner

some, like kellyanne conway, were in attendance. >> all she does is lie. it's like that old saying -- if a tree falls in the woods, how do we get kellyanne under that tree? >> reporter: and getting personal about sarah sanders, who was just feet away on the stage. >> she burns facts, and then she uses the ash to create a perfect smoky eye. like, maybe she's born with it, maybe it's lies. >> reporter: president trump tweeting that the comedian, quote, bombed. many criticizing wolf for crossing the line. former white house press secretary sean spicer calling the event a "disgrace." and ex-communications director anthony scaramucci doubling down. >> what happened last night was an atrocity. >> tara joins us live now from the white house. tara, a report out that dr. ronny jackson won't be returning to his role as white house physician. your sources are telling you now he's taking on a different role? >> reporter: that's right. he's out, but a white house official tells me he will be returning to the white house medical unit, and not as the president's personal

also kellyanne conway in the audience. this event is always one where you get some punch lines that are meant to do a little bruising but not meant to really hurt. it is always a balance. there's always criticism about how it plays in the room, and beyond. certainly there is a lot of talk about did michelle go too far. michelle wolfe. or did she hit it right on the nose. >> i don't know. there were times i felt like c-span censors were going -- woo! there you go. all right. that's enough said. kelly, appreciate it. >>> joining me now, staff writer for "the hill." and congressional reporter for "washington post" with a good sunday morning to the both of you. melanie, we heard the president at the top really escalating his attack against senator john tester of montana, threatening to reveal information that could harm his election. do you have any idea what he's referring to, and why this attack keeps going? what does the president gain? can we remind viewers that he won the state of montana by 20 points in 2016? >> right. l

guys, we heard michelle wolf call sara huckleby sander, and kellyanne conway a liar. what's that to you? >> it wasn't an exchange, the part of sara huckleby sander, remind you, one of the most difficult jobs is to sit and be on the receiving end of the brunt of the jokes. i think the best way to do is sort of laugh hardest is the way to get through it and that is not the approach she took. she seemed quite perturbed. i think we'll be hearing more about that from the podium in the white house in the weeks ahead. >> there she is, back to the cameras now talking to the folks up there. she look pretty shook up there. david. >> i think this thing is so easy if you're about butt of the joke. you can laugh hardest, that will be good or you can smile a little bit, that would work. it saysing this that not just sara sander or obama 2011 when made fun of it seems to be contagious and laugh at one's self or pretend to be in the joke. it's interesting to see that. >> baratunde, this was a separate bomb but we did hear laughter inside the room, you were taking notes, what do you t

so joining us from washington, please say health tow kellyanne conway.hank you for joining us. >> jared is gay. yes, that jared. he is g-a-y gay. >> kellyanne? >> oh, hi. >> were you just saying jared was gay? >> was i? >> it seemed like up. >> well, i wasn't. >> what were you saying? >> i was talking to the easter but not yiflt i said carrot. >> you said carrot is gay? >> that's right. have you ever seen a carrot? they're pretty gay. >> all right. i wanted to get your response to this book that claims you're the number one leaker in the white house. >> first of all, i would like the dlat president on winning today's easter egg hunt. he found and ate 53 chocolate eggs. more than all the other presidents combined. suck it, obama. >> jimmy: that's great. i'm asking about the book. what about this book claiming you're the number one leaker in the white house? >> that is absolute, ivanka is the biggest leaker. did you know she believes in unicorns? >> jimmy: no. what? >> and eric trump is a huge leaker. he still breast feeds. from melania. she isn't even his

you guys have to stop putting kellyanne on your shoes. -- shows.f you don't give her a platform, she has nowhere to lie. if a tree falls in the woods, how do we get kelly anne under that tree. i'm not suggesting she gets hurt. just stuck. stuck under a tree. incidentally, a tree fams in the woods is scott pruitt's definition of porn. we all have our kinks. there's also, of course, ivanka. she was supposed to be an advocate for women, but it turns out she's about as helpful to women as an empty box of tampons. she's done nothing to satisfy women. so i guess like father like daughter. oh, you don't think he's good in bed, come on. she does clean up nice, though. ivanka cleans up nice. she's the diaper genie of the administration. on the outside she looks sleek, but the inside, it's still full of shit. and of course, we have sarah huckabee sanders. we are graced with sarah's presence tonight. i have to say i'm a little star struck. i love you as aunt lydia in "the ha handmaid's tale." mike pence, if you haven't seen it, you would love it. every time s

we will ask kellyanne conway about that little bit later. meantime, president trump's attorney general jeff sessions will not recuse himself from the investigation into the president's personal attorney michael cohen. that's what bloomberg is reporting tonight. justice department officials not confirming this as of yet but if sessions does not recuse himself, then he could be briefed on the details of this investigation, the cohen investigation. he of course did recuse himself from the russia investigation at the beginning. as john reported a moment ago, the president's pick to run the va is saying he will stay and fight, but he hit a roadblock on capitol hill as allegations whirled about possible misconduct by the president's personal doctor. national security correspondent jennifer griffin reports from the pentagon, specifically what is delaying rear admiral ronny jackson's confirmation. >> the allegations involve a series of whistle-blower complaints that came to light last week reportedly involving excessive drinking, questionable prescr

kellyanne conway, counsel for the president. this helps donald trump tonight. this is a big, big beginning to the end of what has been a witch hunt for them day one. >> sean, this week, we have the comey book and out tonight we finally have a comey blockbuster that would interest and animate the public. what you just revealed is truly remarkable and breathtaking on many different levels. he revealed what the president, what to comey about the president was asking them to do, and most importantly, not what comey claims that president was asking them to do. i think the most remarkable thing about what you just revealed is that this is a president who from the beginning has been compliant and transparent and has never gotten away from this investigation. what's remarkable to me this week, 30 days of comey is going to be about 29 and a half days too much. he's already not wearing while on the so-called book tour. for somebody to name his book "lies in leadership," is he talking about andrew mccabe, his number two, who just had a criminal referral tonight, admitted

kellyanne conway.rviewing kellyanne conway at the white house she forgot she was on record and she started lashing into reince priebus. she said the most mean cutting and obviously untrue things about reince priebus and i didn't include them in the book because they were so unfair. she also led into jared and ivanka saying they leaked against steve bannon and i know that white house aides have seen texts that she has sent to other journalists just in her colleagues leaking material, so if you wonder, you know, why there's so many leaks out of the white house one reason is kellyanne conway is the number one leaker. >> a defender of kelly anne might say that you clearly interviews in addition to her, you interviewed bannon and priebus and spicer and maybe it is other people who are saying that about her, but instead of getting into the weeds on kelly anne -- >> this was actually an interview that i had with her in which she just -- reince priebus and jared and ivanka. there was no question about the vera

ainsley: when we played the clip to kellyanne him weighing in on the marriage to melania, kellyanne couldn'tere he did note the man is a showboat and a grandstander, sanctimonious. people are seeing that. if you don't like the job you have, i say to the same people worked here and have in the past, if you don't like the job you have, if you think you're working in a place, doesn't comport with the work place where you want to be leave. he didn't do that. he got fired. he got fired and he never objected to any of this. brian: now he wants to get his spin out. steve: there is plenty of it. remember, it was the democrats who first called for him to be fired, mr. comey, then the republicans called for him to be fired. and now that he is fired, a lot of people are featuring his story with glee on some of the other channels they make the president look bad. so, a lot to chew on. ainsley: let us know what you think. let's hand it over to jillian who has headlines for us. jillian: let's begin with a fox news alert. a massachusetts police officer was killed while serving a warrant. officer sean garre
