michael caputo. and abc news political analyst matthew dowd join us. how all-concerning is this? president been owl selling his agenda, health care. the answer is, there's been a lot of other crises happening. putting aside the foreign trips he spent the last couple of weeks overseas trying to do some things on foreign policy, beyond that, there is a real difficulty in getting thing on his schedule that are outside of washington that and policy. and instead, we know what the president is doing with some of his time because he tweets about it almost every single morning. >> he seemed paralyzed by this, megan. this is one of the dark eer moments of his presidency, seeing his son dragged into this. we went three days, four days where the president had nothing on his public schedule. >> he has almost intentionally removed himself. we're in the middle of an epic battle about what should be the signature legislative information he's putting in place. other than tweets from the sideline saying, i think mitch mcconnell can get it done. we're seeing mitch mcconnell is probably not going t

. >> matthew chance for us in moscow. micha michael zeldin is here. jackie is here, and bob bear, cnn intelligence. jackie, i want the biggest of big pictures here. this story from "the new york times" and the statement from donald trump jr., for the first time, we see clearly someone associated with the campaign. in this case, someone in the trump family saying he was willing to accept help, campaign assistance from a russian individual. >> right. and it is very clear in that statement. this isn't what donald trump jr. was saying a little bit ago. you would have expected him to say, he had said, that he hadn't med with anyone or maybe he met with someone russian and didn't know the details, then adoption statements, now this. the fact that the story does keep changes, i know he reputed it has, does make this more suspicious, frankly. the fact of the matter is, congress is back in session. the senate and the house. they are going to have to answer what they are going to do about it. is this part of their investigations? this is something they don't wa

michael crowley, julie pace, white house correspondent for the associated press and matthew conrad.ie, today's push was buy and sell american. how much is that getting through? speak of the white house is trying to make this the message. they've been in this position or every time they feel like they found her footing, every time they feel like they've had a positive message, something on the russia investigation overtakes it. this is their attempt to be proactive, it will be a series of three weeks where they will be rolling out a theme. they've done this previously, i will say. there was an infrastructure week that was much maligned because we didn't really care much about infrastructure. i think it's important to note that every time the white house has one of these theme weeks and something is overtaken it's often because the president himself is throwing other issues on the table. this will be a big challenge for them, not just whether they can stay on message in the press shop and whether they can hold events every day, but whether the president can restrain himself on twitter

joining me now is matthew murray, the deputy assistant commerce secretary for europe, middle east and africa during the obama administration. and cnn legal analyst michaeleldin, former special assistant to robert mueller at the justice department. gentlemen, thank you for joining me. michael, so we have this "washington post" report about president trump's lawyers, seeking ways to undercut special counsel mueller's investigation. here's what the president, his private lawyer, jay sekulow told the "post." said "the fact is the president is concerned about conflicts that exist within the special counsel's office and any changes in the scope of the investigation." sekulow said. "the scope is going to have to stay within his mandate. if there's drifting, we're going to object." what do you think of that, michael? >> well, they can try to object, but actually it's only rosenstein who can object. mueller works under the mandate that rosenstein gave him which says any links between russia and the trump campaign, any matters that arise out of it. mueller then has the authority to ask rosenstein under the cfr that governs him to expand the investigation into mat

. >> matthew when people talk about employment in the retail world i don't know if you've paid any attention to some of the research that people like michaeldel, economist and others have done, suggesting, maybe for the first time, that perhaps we're not accounting for retail jobs properly, and that if you look at all the fulfillment centers, and third party retailers that have -- that have emerged in this new e-commerce economy that, in fact, perhaps we're creating more jobs than are actually being lost in traditional retail do you buy that? i heard some people say wow that math makes a lot of sense. i've heard other people say that's completely illogical. >> i love it i could kiss him i could kiss you finally someone is telling the truth about what's going on in the industry we've got secretary from the labor department coming over to talk to us today the bureau of labor statistics only counts retail jobs as those jobs that exist in retail locations in which a sale occurs so if you work at a distribution center, warehouse, logistics, supply chain, finance, accounting, design, web technology, none of those retail jobs get counted because
