some say mcmaster and trump simply never warmed up to each other, and mcmaster style of briefing too, mcmaster could have a tough transition back into uniform full time. >> he's got to make it clear if he goes back in june form, he's going back in uniform, going to be nonpartisan. >> reporter: that's key, could he go back in the ranks and truly be sue boanonpartisan. >>> breaking news in the russian investigation, a new superseding indictment against the chair of the president's campaign and rick gates who also worked on the campaign including tax and bank fraud charges. we get straight to the news, what can you tell us? >> reporter: just reading through the documents now. this was just filed just unsealed moments ago, appears to be a 32-count indictment filed in a different district in a different courthouse than the last indictment. this was filed in the eastern district of virginia in alexandria, and, generally, has to do with money that both gates and manafort made for years as political consultants and lobbyists according to the indictment, and we are just getting through it now

mcmaster. there's a lot of discussions about white house officials having concerns and then there's a lot of specificity in your reporting about h.r. mcmaster, learning about kushner's worrying contacts, which he didn't officially report and coordinate through the national security council. why is mcmaster the person in line to be monitoring this behavior by a white house official? are the daily intelligence briefings that he's receiving where he was getting reports about these concerns? >> well, h.r. mcmaster came in to replace michael flynn after he was forced out of the white house with his own russia related issues sits at the center of national security policy making that goes on in the white house and also his job to make sure the state department, the defense department and intelligence community their views are all represented and all of that information is brought into the white house has a coherent policy. when he came into his job he discovered and quite taken aback to find out jared

that mcmaster has don't really resonate with the president.ho strongly defend mcmaster and say the president is not firing him, that this, in fact, would be a promotion. here is one of the political wrinkles inside the pentagon about if you move mcmaster back into a full time military job. he's been essentially working as a political person in the white house. he, you know, would probably tell you, he tries to stay out of politics, but let's face it, nsc, national security adviser is a political national security adviser job to the president. so if he comes back to the pentagon, can he really function as a or would he potentially be seen inside the ranks as a political operative? it's a delicate but important point, because this coming year will be very important. president trump may face making decisions about everything from north korea to iran, so having people around him that he wants is going to be important. who replaces mcmaster is something that nobody is even speculating on at this point, brianna. >> wow. barbara starr at the pentagon

mcmaster said there was no question russia meddle in the presidential election. >> as you can see with the fbi indictment, the evidence is incontrovertible and available in the public domain. >> rod rosenstein announced the indictment of 13 russians charged with setting up a plot to influence american voters. the president tweeted "general mcmaster forgot to say that the results of the 2016 election were not impacted or changed by the russians and that the only collusion was between russia and crooked h, the dnc and the dems. remember, the dirty dossier, uranium and the podesta company." first, the indictment had nothing to do with the collusion investigation. it was about russian meddling. the collusion investigation according to our reporting is ongoing. second, the extent to which russian meddling did or did not effect the results of the election is an open question. the president also tweeted, i never said russia did not meddle in the election. i said it may be russia or china or another country or group or could be a 400-pound genius in bed playing with his computer. the reality i

chattering class wondering whether mcmasters job is in jeopardy given the president's predilection for driving out those who don't parrot his view of the world rosalynn jordan al-jazeera washington survivors of wednesday's school

so it's unlikely that general mcmaster forgot to say all of those things? >> exactly. worked two no national security advisers and they typically don't forget to say things in carefully crafted speeches like the speech that general mcmaster gave in munich yesterday. i felt it should be coming from vladimir putin feed and not the president of the united states. we have a tweet that, against undermines a key u.s. national security official, general mcmaster and it includes misinformation and inaccuracies and alleges there was no collusion and that the investing is not over. and, again, trying to show divisions. that is a tool out of the russian's tool kit. instead, this is what the president of the united states is doing? you have to wonder why. >> samantha, you were saying that trump's tweets, they actually play into the hands of putin. >> indeed. >> and intog tdoing the work fo. explain why. >> we know that the russians, directed by vladimir putin are in creating confusion in the united states and demother-in-lawalizid the president undercut general mcmaster saying he

mcmasters seemed to dismission the notion.. >> i'm surprised there are any russian cyber experts available based on how active most of them have been against -- in undermining our democracies if in the west. we would love to have a cyber dialogue when russia is sincere about curtailing its sophisticated form of espionage, what you might call this modern day sort of form of moscarova enabled by modern technology. and i think that day will be coming because we're becoming more and more adept at tracing the origins of this espionage and subversion. as you can see with the fbi indictment, the evidence is incontrovertible and available in the public domain. >> so hours after mcmaster's remarks there in germany, president trump took to twitter to rebuke his own national security adviser's comments. in a late night tweet with, the president wrote general mcmaster forgot to say that the results of the 2016 election were not impacted or changed by the russians and that the only collusion was between russia and crooked h, the dnc and th

mcmaster.mp moves towards and likes and values the counsel of military men. >> well, we know that mcmaster is not the only white house official currently on thin ice. he's recently had issues with non-generals. his attorney general, jeff session, chief of staff, john kelly, secretary of state, rex tillerson, deputy attorney general, rod rosenstein, and now, of course, mcmaster. this seems to be par for the course. >> yeah, i mean, it is like an episode of "the apprentice," right? he brings all these people in. he swerves and you think he's going to fire this guy, but he fires this guy over here. this is donald trump's m.o. i always tell people, if you want some sense of how druonald trump views management and leadership, watch "the apprentice" and the "celebrity apprentice" for which he was, along with mark barnett, a co-creator and producer of. he spars one against the other, cliff-hangers. he believe publicing calling people out is what gets them to give their best effort. i would suggest the

mcmaster may stick around.hankfully, you know, he did say the truth, which is that there is incontrovertible evidence of russia's impact on this election. i believe that it had a major impact, both -- maybe be so much in turning on changing votes, but it certainly affected the discussion around the election in 2016. it ham strung the dnc. it did a lot of things that helped donald trump. >> what strikes me is we've now passed the year anniversary since the president's only solo formal news conference. i was there in the front row and i asked him about the electoral college, his numbers. we fact checked him in real time. at the end of the exchange, i said to him. you're the president. so, he's the president now. so, it doesn't matter that everybody else is saying this. he's the president. why be defensive about how you got here? now act on all of our behalves behind the scene. what do aides say? when h.r. mcmaster says publicly, are they anticipating this lashing? is that the good cop, bad cop routine the white h

mcmaster's comments at the munich security conference. look, let's hope that they get closer together because we're inching closer to 2018. while we do the post game on what happened in 2016 and hold people accountable, we need to be laser focused on the fact that every day, we're still under attack by russia and need to take action to defense against them. >> as a public servant, i mentioned the president is his boss, but really it's the american people who are your boss when you are a public servant. >> indeed. >> shimon, you know, these indictments have shown that special counsel mueller is very good at preventing leaks about the investigation. last night former national intelligence director james clapper actually told our anderson cooper he believes more indictments are to come. let's listen. >> i think there are other shoes to drop here. noticeably finances. bob mueller and his team know a lot more about all this than is out there that we know. i think there's much more to come. i didn't see any indication about closing the investig

national security advisor h r mcmaster told conference delegates the rumors of russian interference are now fact the united states will expose and act against those who use cyberspace social media and other means to advance campaigns of the. sim formation subversion and espionage the former russian ambassador to the united states long accused of using his post to interfere in u.s. affairs told delegates the indictments are nothing more than fear mongering and whatever. the amount of the. simply fantasies is that they're being heels for political reasons inside the united states roslyn jordan al-jazeera washington. so here's what we know so far u.s. intelligence agencies believe russia wanted to ensure the twenty sixteen presidential vote was in favor of donald trump it's alleged russian hackers attempted to undermine the rival candidate hillary clinton by providing her campaign details to wiki leaks thousands of the democratic party's internal e-mails were leaked several congressional committees were set up to investigate including one led by the then f.b.i. director james comey he was

on the way to europe, mcmaster briefs reporters. this is what the president is going to say. trump got to that portion of the speech and he skipped it. he passed. why? ideology hostility of nato? treasure from the russian or just doesn't like being told what to do. we don't know. but that is where you see the consequence. what then has to happen is mcmaster now is in the situation where everybody expected this endorsement, and the question is, wow, is the president reneging, i this united states reneging and mcmaster has to brief reporters, don't meant to what you're talking about. the president did exactly what everybody expected. you have the break offering the white house staff, the discrediting of mcmaster in thes i've the -- that's bun of the most honorable soldiers of his generation so i think these things come together. but i would emphasize, donald trump is driven above all by greed and by the desire for dominance. very little about ideology. >> host: could someone else have stepped in to do this? is trumpocracy only possible with donald trump? could someone else you

the idea is see what can be done to get mcmaster out of the white house.re is always the option that they won't find a four star job for him and we will find out that he has put in his paperwork to simply retire. that still could be out there. what we know is right now they're looking to see if they can find a four star job to promote him out of the white house. >> let's bring in rear admiral john kirby. admiral, i guess there are two major questions here. first, talk to me about what it tells you, that these tensions between mcmaster and the president are so high that it makes the relationship going forward perhaps untenable? >> i think it's indicative of tensions in the white house in general, john, and the chaos we continue to see out of the west wing in particular. this is a president who is difficult to work for. he doesn't like to take contrary advice. doesn't want to read, isn't intellectually curious. i don't think as commander-in-chief he has fully thought through the heavy responsibilities on his shoulders. what you're saying is you have a three-

in another tweet, general mcmaster forgot to say the results of the 2016 election were not impacted or changed by the russians. and that the only collusion was between russia and crooked h, the dna and the dems. remember, the dirty dossier, uranium, speeches and podesta and company. this started yesterday morning when hr mcmaster told experts in munich that the indictments show evidence of russian meddling are now beyond dispute. vice president pence also breaking with president trump over his response to the special counsel's russia indictments in an interview airing tomorrow. >> there's no question that russia interfered, perhaps with other countries in our electoral process. and it is absolutely essential we take actions against individuals who attempted to interfere with our democracy. >> later today president trump will meet with house speaker paul ryan at mar-a-lago to discuss legislative priorities. >>> and nbc's kelly o'donnell has more on president trump's reaction to the russian indictments. >> reporter: good morning, dara. president trump has found something that he really l

mcmaster. we do not see him criticizing put and that's a pattern from well before he even began running for president. >> not implementing sanctions duly passed by congress, not faithfully executing the laws. which some call is impeachable. donald trump let's read that tweet again that natasha referred to. he tweeted this. general mcmaster forgot to say that the results of the 2016 election were not impacted or changed by the russians and that the only collusion was between russia and the crooked h. remember the dirty dossier. he rollsous his conspiracy theories. did mcmaster forget to say that or is that just not true >> mcmaster didn't forget to say that. mcmaster forgot to read the cue card that the white house handed to him that he was to read when he makes statements. leapt me tell you about general mcmaster a man i used to have a lot of respect for. these are one of these guys that's an american hero. he wrote a book literal about military leadership standing up to presidents abusing powe

mcmaster at the munich security conference. i also understand seg guy kislyak, the former russian ambassador to the united states, was pressed on a panel there about whether he was aware of any potential russian role in this conspiracy to interfere with our election campaign. he was, not surprisingly, nonresponsive to those questions. of course kislyak is a key role and one of the other figures that's caught the attention of the special counsel, michael flynn. those contacts flynn had with kislyak during the transportation team we know are something the mueller team has been looking at. while the kremlin is not specifically referenced in this indictment, we know the special counsel has their eye on them as well. >> ilona, who are these people in the indictment? is there any name that stands out? i keep reading about one that is a caterer, a powerful caterer, a chef to vladimir putin. >> it shows the way things often work in russia, whether it be money being funneled through somebody, we saw this coming out in the panama papers

mcmaster did not forget to say any of those lies. the response shows that he is either totally compromised by the russians or a towering fool or both. trump's behavior amounts to a refusal to carry out his oath of office to protect and defend the constitution. here's an imperkt but close anolg. it's as if george w. bush had said after 9/11 no big deal. i'm going golfing over the weekend and saying it's all the democrats fault. thomas freedman offers a possible explanation to ever criticize vladimir putin or make any attempt to defend the united states against russia's cyber attacks. we've all offered our own versions of this. i offered one last week. here's tom freedman's theory of case. either trump's real estate empire has taken large amounts of money from oligarchs linked to the kremlin so much so that they literally own him or rumors are true that he engaged in sexual misbehave while he was in moscow running the ms. usa pageant. or he trump believes vladimir putin when he says he is innocent of intervening in our elections. eithe

here's what mcmaster said. listen. >> as you can see with the fbi indictment, the evidence is now really incontrovertible and available in the public domain. >> reporter: and here is what the president wanted to clarify, his tweet about hr mcmaster. he writes, quote, general mcmaster forgot to say that the results of the 2016 election were not impacted or changed by the russians. and that the only collusion was between russia and crooked hillary, the dnc and the dems. remember the dirty dossier, e uranium, speeches, e-mails and the podesta company. that statement doesn't mention collusion with hillary clinton at all, it doesn't mention the dossier or the euranium speeche. one last thing that we have not seen from president trump at all in any of the tweets or the official white house statement put out on friday after the indictment came out, a condemnation of russia that is strong. with unthat one that possibly deters vladimir putin from getting involved in future elections. >> boris, we are also learning detai

and here we have even mcmaster admits it. but it's been known for a long time, an attack on american democracy. what is the republican response? almost nothing. and of course nothing from donald trump. so we can talk about how he sees and how he feels about it. >> your point is so good that is exactly what trump doesn't get is civic responsibility. he doesn't understand that a judge has got to be a judge and a fair judge. he doesn't work for somebody, the mexican government or anybody else he claims to work for. mcmaster, his national security adviser is in fact an officer in the united states army. and he has to say the truth. and trump doesn't understand it. he doesn't understand when people have to do their jobs. >> it's worse than not actively doing their job. they're helping the russians. when nunes runs around defaming the fbi and coming up with his half cocked conspiracy theories. >> a number of trump incendiary comments over this weekend when he suggested they missed the signals about the florida school shooter becaus

hr mcmaster says reports and photos clearly show such weapons are being deployed.his death from cancer in south africa. hundreds of his supporters were at harare international airport to pay their respects.

mcmaster, under the bus in that tweet but not to criticize russia.do to his own national security team? >> it was already strained, and i think with this indictment, it will become worse. i do think there are members of the national security team who want the president to simply acknowledge what is before the public, that there is substantial evidence that russia conducted this campaign during the election -- this is not about the collusion part of the investigation -- and to offer some kind of assurance and plan that the united states will make sure this doesn't happen again. and someone like mcmaster has his reputation on the line, he has his own beliefs in what needs to happen with public policy, and yet he's watching a president who is tweeting very different things and who is showing no indication that he takes this seriously. instead he attacks the fbi, and he attacks many of his opponents with a vehemence that's absolutely lacking when it comes to russia. >> is that, then, the explanation of why he'll do this? he already has a strained relatio

mcmaster. what is the president saying? >> reporter: well, i guess an easy sunday morning for the president on a warm and sunny day in florida, the perfect conditions for tweeting and that's what we're seeing this morning from president trump on a range of subjects almost as if he had built up a lot of topics he wanted to comment on or perhaps he had been reading coverage, watching coverage. hearing some of the things that have been in the news since this indictment came down and he is responding. so a couple of the things we picked out to zero in on. one of those deals with the fact that his own national security adviser h.r. mcmaster who has been in munich for an international security conference talked about this in a session publicly and he commented that there is incon trow vertible evidence, the president is commenting on what he did not say. he forgot to say the results of the 2016 election were not impacted or changed by the russians and that the only collusion was between russia and he uses his old name for hillary

if mcmaster can stand up to putin, why can't you? botment bottom line is there have been no sanctions. even though congress approved them. >> there's a fair debate. they did respond after the election. they imposed new sanctions. sanctions that we know the russian government took seriously, imposed real pain on the russian government. the congress last year followed up with additional sanctions, and the president so far has refused to enact those sanctions. that's the truth about his response or lack of response in this case to what the russians did to interfere in our election. >> thank you, all, so much. my apologies for misreading though tweets. >>> coming up, the kids from parkland have a lesson for the adults on gun control. and you're looking at live pictures outside of the white house. 17 student protesters. we're not sure of where they're from. lying down in protest of those who were killed at parkland. protesting against the lack of action on any gun laws. stay with us. we'll be right back. whoooo. when it comes to travel, i

mcmaster, the fbi, the doj, congressman adam schiff, and oprah. notably the president has had nothing to say about russia or putin or protecting our nation from further attack. the intelligence community has been begging the president and his administration to take this threat seriously. former fbi special agent clint watts testified before congress almost a year ago now. >> part of the reason this has worked is because the commander in chief has used against his opponents. he denies the intel from the united states about russia. he claims that the election could be rigged. that was the number one theme pushed by sputnik news, outlets all the way until to the election. until we get a firm basis on fact and fiction and our own country gets some agreement about the facts whether it be do i support the intelligence community or a story i read on my twitter feed, we're going to have a big problem. >> that man, clint watts, is now with us, the former fbi agent who was attached to the joint terrorism task force and also our analyst. and michael mcfauls

mcmaster children after trump tweeted that mcmaster have forgotten to say the election results were not changed by the russians rather than jordan has more. the munich security conference often focuses on weapons of mass destruction regional war and the threat from rogue nations and groups but at this year's meeting the conflict is between russia and the us which is now and died thirteen russian citizens for allegedly interfering in the two thousand and sixteen presidential race the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov called the indictments irrelevant they said. so until we hear the facts everything else is just blather the indictment says otherwise the defendants allegedly were promoting donald trump's candidacy and undermining that of his democratic rival hillary clinton. one example an anti trump protest march in new york shortly after his election allegedly organized by the defendants and not by ordinary americans the allegation is that the russians were using the anti trump protest to cover their tracks in supporting him the special counsel robert muller has indicted thirteen ru
