mcconnell: madam president, let me begin this morning with gratitude to secretary of state michael pompeo. overnight he completed a sensitive diplomatic mission and returned home from north korea with three freed american prisoners. the families of these three men and the entire country are so grateful. this episode offers just one more example of the complex, relentless foreign policy chal hengs that couldn't -- challenges that confront our country. clearly our country was fortunate that the secretary of state was able to conduct his responsibilities from day one, leadership and expertise matter. yesterday our colleagues on the intelligence committee heard from gina haspel, president trump's selection to head the central intelligence agency. she showcased the poise and judgment of a 33-year career with the agency. our testimony confirmed what her gold standard resume and her support from seasoned security leaders had already told us. gina haspel has the experience, talent and unique skill set to excel in this important job at this important moment. since 1985 she served the nation in cla

heard mike pompeo saying again that the goal out of the summit is to get north korea to commit to complete. denuclearizati what do you think denuclearization means to north korea, though? michael: well, exactly, that is the key question. it is still an open question, and mike pompeo was asked a question to that effect today. i don't feel he gave a totally clear answer about what the north koreanare saying. it is possible the north koreans believe, for instance, that denuclearization is a process, that you might start at this summit with president trump or soon thereafter, as opposed to what some hardliners, peopleli the new national security adviser john bolton might say, which for them it would meane dismanl the nuclear weapons, ship all the nuclear material out of the country, smash up the infrastructure with hammers if you have to, basically scrub norta free, clean of nuclear weapons material and production capabilities. there is a big gap between those two finitions. we are going to find out soon whether it can be bridged. rajini: anmichael, former cartere secretarysh saying tod the u.s. needs to be cautious about promises by the north koreans. how skeptical are you? micha

"the new york times" reported the fbi sent the informant to meet with trump campaign advisers because th

michael, you heard me ask secretary pompeo about that. you hurt his answer, how would you answer?say that is one of the goals and the south koreans and north koreans, the korean war never formally ended. they want a peace treaty that formally ends the korean war. i think if i were in the administration i would send that out as a carrot towards the end. it's not something you give up front. you see what you can get on the denuclearization front. for this to work they are going to have to be robust inspections. the north koreans are going to essentially have to lay bare their entire program and let people crawl all over it and let people confirm that they are shutting things down. >> chris: are you surprised that he made it as explicit as he did in our interview? if we get all of that where willing to say kim, you can stay in power. >> i was not surprised. i've known from the beginning that the policy of this administration has never been regime change. i think people who are most concerned about conflict, the point i would make to them is making u.s. policy explicitly regime change

secretary pompeo advocating a tougher stance against russia, is there a right way to deal with russia under this administration of president putin? michaelhink there is. i want to and emphasize tragically -- you have to go back to the way we dealt with the soviets and the cold war. secretarycourage pompeo to read secretary george schultz's memoirs of how he dealt with the soviets. that was a big dose of containment, pushing back when russia was doing bad things in the international system. america's it is in national interest to engage in the kremlin on issues that we might benefit on engagement, so back then, it was arms control. that would be a good place to start for the trump administration. push back. punish russia for what they did in ukraine. punish them for what they did in our elections. engage to control the spread, new nuclearively of weapons that vladimir putin and just announced. these are dangerous and i need to be brought in. david: in your book, you recount a very chilling events where you actually met with vladimir putin with tom donald at the time and mr. putin targeted you, really look at you with anger and accuse you

pompeo and mr. co coates? >> this seems new. as noted here by michael schmidt at the time. what was the purpose of your call to mr. comey on march 30th, 2017? that's what the times said about that. while the white house says mr. comey was fired for breaking the justice policies and discussing the hillary clinton e-mail investigation. mr. trump expressed no suquorumn the interview. he said, director comey was very really good to hillary clinton, that i can tell you. if he were not, she would be right now going to trial. clearly that indicates they're trying to get the president's mind set there. if comey was fired for mistre mistreating hillary clinton then why did you say comey was very good to clinton. mr. comey describes his handling of the clinton investigation in details. he was fired son after. regarding the decision to fire mr. comey, when was it made and why and who played a role in that? what did you mean, firing mr. comey have taken the pressure off. that was his remarks to two government officials hosted in the oval office the day after he fired comey in that meet

michael crowley is senior foreign affairs correspondent at politico. that is the key question. it is still an open question and mike pompeoto that effect today. i don't feel that he gave a totally clear answer about what the north koreans are saying. it is possible that the north koreans believe for instance that denuclearisation is a process that you might start at this summit with president trump, or soon thereafter, as opposed to what some hardliners, people like the new national security adviserjohn bolton might say which, for them, it would mean dismantle all the nuclear weapons, ship all the nuclear material out of the country, smash up the infrastructure with hammers if you have to. basically scrub north korea free, clean of nuclear weapons material and production capability. there is a big gap between those two definitions. and we are going to find out soon whether it can be bridged. michael crowley on the korea diplomacy. there's a growing rift between the us and europe over the iran nuclear deal. president trump announced at the start of this week that the us is pulling out of the agreement which will mean fresh

pompeo. he went to israeli and met this week in his first overseas trip as secretary of state. secretary mat met with his counter peurptss. >> michaeld best. he was very blunt. they will counter any move by iran no matter what it means in syria, which means we're on the precipice of a war unlike any other since '73, actually. 2006 was of big. but this would be huge. if i can go back to rude where for just a moment. it seems to me this whole setup, sahil, i will throw it to you first. mr. special is counsel, if and when you accepted the subpoena from the grand jury, we're not going to comply. the constitution won't make him. he doesn't have to. do you think the president will still be willing to sit down with special counsel? >> hugh, what i've heard from people in the president' orbit, they don't know what the strategy is. it's not clear they were particularly dialed in. the one thing -- i agree with you in the sense that rudy does seem to remember this more confront aeurbl approach that the president has been moving forward. let's work with them. let's give them what they need. let's not play games with them and we can make this in

pompeo, and mr. coats? hmm. this seems new. as noted here by michael schmidt in the "times," it is not clear whether mr. mueller knows something special about trump's reaction to these interviews. but the question shows that mr. mueller is keenly interested in how trump responded to each step of his investigation. that is fascinating. another question, what was the purpose of your calls to mr. comey on march 30th and april 11th, 2017? what was the purns of your april 11th, 2017 statement to maria bartiromo? hmm? this is what the "times" says about that. while the white house ultimately said mr. comey was fired for breaking with justice department policy and discussing the hillary clinton e-mail investigation, mr. trump expressed no such qualms in an interview with maria bartiromo of the fox business network on april 11th, 2017. he said in that interview, "director comey was very, very good to hillary clinton. that i can tell you. if he weren't, she would be right now going to trial." clearly that indicates that they're trying to get to the president's mindset there. if comey was supposedly fired for mis

associates and government officials, including michael flynn, james comey and jeff sessions as well as then cia director and now secretary of state mike pompeo and reince priebus and fired fbi director andrew mccabe. so the questions still looms, will the president sit down for an interview with the special counsel. now you remember it was back in january when president trump said he was looking forward to to and would do it under oath but acknowledged he would have to follow the advice of his attorneys. he did most recently address that exact issue again on thursday in a wide-ranging interview on fox and friends. at that point he said he could talk to mueller, but then argued that mueller's investigators were conflicted because of their contributions to politicians in the past. however, wolf, president trump made this argument over and over again but it should be noted that some of mueller's team -- they have donated but both to democrats and republicans. >> good point. thank you very much. >>> let's get more on all of the breaking news. senator ben cardin of maryland is joining us. he's a key member of the senate foreign relations committe
