when it comes to trust, the national security adviser is one of the most trusted people for a president, considering all the foreign policy hot spots that this president now is dealing with. >> yeah. absolutely. that's what they wanted to focus on. the other thing they wanted to emphasize was this idea of how do we even know that this is going on. there is a real problem with leaks going on maybe within the intelligence community. listen to what spicer had to say about that. >> i think there's also a story with the am of leaks that are coming out of people entrusted with national security secrets and classified information are leaking it out. that's a real concern for this president. that when he's talking on the phone with a world leader, when he's making key decisions in the interest of protecting this country, that we have to wonder whrorpb people who work for our government, who are entrusted with classified information and decisional based material, are leaking that information out. >> does he have a point or is that deflection? >> i think there's a point there. there are a number

the store yesterday was the best place that the president, after the resignation, you can't trust the national security advisor, if there is a trust problem within the west wing, it's going to continue to be a problem. i thought they acted decisively, even if it was a couple weeks late. they get it done. that's the story of the day. by reopening the issue again in this way, which is basically picking up the scab, it's okay but what was the worst part for you, mr. president? the eroding trust for the fact of the intelligence community was going after him they be in an inappropriate way. if they hadn't gone after him but you knew this other information, with the trust have been eroded? i think they're going to have another day's worth or maybe the next few days, they're going to have to grin and bear it with this story because it's not going to end. the other thing i would say it's there so much we don't know. i think there is no in saying i don't know if you are speaking for the president or even the president. i don't know how much he knows. all this information coming out from different sourc

the president lost trust in his national security advisor. why did that take 18 more days?now the answer to that. and that is one of several questions that we don't know the answer to still. whether or not it just took them awhile, they say, to continue whatever investigation they were doing, or whether or not is probably the real deal, which is it became public, which is that "the washington post" reported it. and, therefore, it made it unsustainable to use a white house term today, for mike flynn to stay there because the cat was out of the bag. it's not just that this was sort of contained -- well, let me rephrase that. this was apparently very much contained in the white house so much so that i was on capitol hill today talking to some senior members who have oversight on such issues. they didn't know about the potential transcript or the recording of these phone calls with mike flynn until friday when they saw it in "the washington post." so, that just dinkind of gives a sense of how the white house was trying to figure this out on their own. clearly, given the fact th

the first around national security, the second around trust. learically that is the most urgent concern and they can make decisions and provide advice to president trump if and when he needs it, as he needs it. even though the stakes are higher that may be easier than establishing trust and credibility. they have to explain why the vice president was mislead, why the president didn't act on information for weeks, how the lines of communication broke down and how the conflingtinging signals could continue and most critically perhaps how they handled the fact that the russians could have had had dirt on the security advisorer. these are questions without precedent for the white house. all they can do is work day by day and hope president himself can answer some questions. >> and as reported in the new york times that senior officials in the trump campaign had contact with russian officials -- >> completely separate from general flynn. >> only day 26 of the new administration. >>> trapped under the ice. the dramatic rescue of a teenagerer stuck in

this is the national security adviser who is trusted all around. those leaks that christy was talking about. people who are trusted by the institutions, general petraeus is on that list. so there are two or three names floating around that could stem this leak. it could be whoever is briefing the president, is someone who is tried and trustworthy. >> someone in the white house virtually from the beginning of time, in their brief time in office, has known about this. >> i think that's troubling certainly to the extent he had spoken about these sanctions. apparently there was a confrontation about it, and he was asked about it, and he obviously misled the staff and the vice president and the president. now there's repercussions on that. but that's problematic. i think russia is more comfortable with a tougher stance on russia. donald trump has never been shy to do things differently. democrats ask republicans and independents would have a stronger stance against russia. >>> breaking news coverage. when we come back, our efforts to resolve the issue w
