phil mattingly is on capitol hill for us. the president has been unequivocal, saying he will veto the resolution. you heard jim acosta say it could come as early as tomorrow. there's a push in the house of representatives to already try to override a presidential veto. what's the latest? >> reporter: that's right. the president wasted no time tweeting shortly after the vote that he lost that he would veto the resolution that is heading to the white house right now. democrats are wasting no time making sure they will return serve. the first day they are back in washington, march 26, a democratic aide tells me they will hold a vote to override the veto. they have a lot of work to do. people i'm talking to on both sides of the aisle say it's likely the president's veto will be sustained. democrats are seizing on the 12 republicans who split from the president today, split from the party today, and hoping to use that as some momentum to flip republicans in the house as well. even if that doesn't happen, i'm told this issue isn't

. >> with us this sunday, julie pace of the associated press, cnn's phil mattingly, and lisa lerer of "the new york times." we begin with the president. the biggest source of his anger and the latest remarkable display of his rage. he hugged a flag as he walked on to the stage at cpac yesterday and then spoke for more than two hours. that he spoke that long is proof that he has a lot on his mind and that he knew it was a place where he wins applause even when what he says lacks taste, truth or tact. >> so now we're waiting for a report, and we'll find out whether or not and who we're dealing with. we're waiting for a report by people that weren't elected. unfortunately, you put the wrong people in a couple of positions, and they leave people for a long time that shouldn't be there. and all of a sudden, they are trying to take you out with [ bleep ], okay? with [ bleep ]. >> the report referenced there with choice language would be from special counsel robert mueller who is said to be near the end of his investigation. the biggest lesson is mueller is hardly's president's only worry. f

we have phil mattingly. phil, do senate republicans have a message for the president?if history is any guide, it won't matter that they do. the president pretty much just uses these events as his own opportunity to rip for almost an hour. i was talking with republican aides earlier, walking through some of the past conference luncheons the president has attended, they said they tend to be epic frontliners for whatever he thinks the republican party can do to push his agenda forward. it will be interesting to watch the senators who come in and out of the room. it was just 12 weeks ago when senators flipped from the central theme of his candidacy of the national declaration on the border wall. that seems about two years ago at this point, but that was between that conference in the white house. we'll see if that's dissipated at all, particularly in just about an hour, a little more than an hour, the house is going to fail to override the veto for that. the other thing -- i think this is really important. it's health care. i talked to a couple republican senators this mor

. >> let's bring in cnn congressional correspondent phil mattingly on capitol hill. phil, how did this end up creating such a divide between democrats? >> reporter: i think the interesting moment is what is really happened over the course of the last couple weeks with the congresswoman's remarks is it ripped the lid off a clear divide between members of the democrat caucus and the democrats on the whole. it's split between different groups. you have older members of the democratic caucus, jewish members who are furious at what the congresswoman has said, particularly the latest comments related to dual loyalty which is considered to be an anti-semitic trope and then you have members and allies that are close to ilhan omar who believe she's unfairly being targeted here. there are broader issues particularly because she's a muslim member of congress, particularly she's been targeted. they've been trying to plug the gap here over the last couple weeks as this has built internally. it has built. the frustration has built. what speaker pelosi has tried to diffuse that. tak

cnn's phil mattingly joins us live on capitol hill. phil, what are we looking for here? here's what we do know. it will pass the united states senate. the president is right. it will not pass enough to override the veto, so the emergency declaration will stand, but you noted there are already seven republican no-votes and by my caught there are six to eight other republicans on the fence. i just ran into senator roy blount on my way over here, an undecided senator. and he said, quote, amazingly i'm still talking to the white house as senators are trying to get something from the white house. he's not the only one. three senators, cruz, sass, graham went over uninvited. they made their own pitch to get the president to accept some limitations on future national emergency declarations. i'm told at that meeting it was rejected after a white house lawyer came in and said it would be problematic to the white house. yet this morning the president tweeted he may be open to it. what that means going forward? blount doesn't know for sure. it's too little, too late. the question i

joining me now is phil mattingly and mark preston. , where do things stand with these investigations? where are they going? >> i think one of the biggest questions since democrats took the majority in the house is what the scale, scope and strategy of the investigation was going to be. we are finding out today exactly the answer to those questions. take a listen to what jerry nadler said just yesterday. >> we will be issuing document requests to over 60 different people and individuals from the white house to the department of justice, donald trump jr., allen weisselberg to begin investigations to present the case to the american people about obstruction of justice, corruption and abuse of power. >> it's very clear that the president is obstructing justice. >> that last comment frg from the chairman of the judiciary committee. it's important to note how they are doing this. this is a step by step approach. these are not subpoenas. these are document requests. these are not hearing requests but document requests. they don't want to rush

joining me now with more cnn congressional correspondent phil mattingly. what is driving this smrwere revelations from michael cohen's testimony last week. nadler is casting quite a wide net. >> reporter: this will not only show the scope of what they are looking into but also the process. basically with the chairman of the committee said there will be a request for more than 60 individuals to produce documents related into obstruction, abuse of power and potential corruption within the trump administration. included within the individuals receiving the requests are donald trump jr., allen weisselberg, the cfo mentioned multiple times as well as john kelly, former chief of staff and don mcgan. this is a document request. these are not subpoenas, not scheduled hearings. it is a very wide scope. what that under scores is a very methodical approach. they are going to take this step by step. there is no rush to impeachment. they want to essentially make the case. make the case that the president has obstructed justice according to nadler. >> we'll see what the

phil mattingly is "outfront" live on capitol hill. phil, look, this is not going to go over well with a whole lot of passionate and outspoken democrats. >> reporter: yeah, there's no question about it, erin. there are a number of democrats who ran on impeachment. certainly the grassroots of the democratic party has been urging impeachment, even though it's only two, three months into the democratic majority. but there's a couple of things here, and you laid out quite nicely one key component of it. and one is the political reality. there's a recognition, and speaker pelosi says this in the interview, that basically, as of now, where things stand, this would only serve to divide the country in her view of things. there's also a recognition of numbers. while the house can pass a resolution on a simple majority, the senate would need at least 20 republicans to join all 47 democrats to be able to move it through, something that no one thinks is even possible. and that's what more than anything else that speaker pelosi has pointed to. don't

. >> phil mattingly joins the conversation.ot even sure where to begin in the sense that, again, the president's airdes would push back and say a lot of this is media creation. that was kellyanne conway's husband that tweeted those things. he keeps doing it and he knows she'll be asked about it. the fact the white house staff has to keep saying the president is not a white supremacist, i don't know what to say about that. >> it's usually not a good sign if you have to go on air on a sunday show and say that. i thought more impressively, we have to keep saying this over and over and over again. if that's the case, take a step back and ask the question why. i think you make a good point here. this isn't the outward blaming of the president for what happened, it's more of a sin of omission. this isn't the most difficult part of politics, being compassiona compassionate, showing empathy, showing sympathy for something like this, and it's kind of low-hanging fruit. it's a couple tweets, it's a solid statement, it's not a denial of w

phil mattingly on capitol hill, appreciate that. >>> the democrats hope to turn the page. the president of the united states hopes to not let them turn the page. >> i thought yesterday's vote by the house was disgraceful. because it's become -- the democrats have become an anti-israel party, they've become an anti-jewish party. >> this is part of why this debate was so painful to the democrats in the sense that they would like to have the high ground on issues of prejudice. they believe the president gives them plenty of material to look at him and say, a, that's not a president. b, it's not decent. whether it's charlottesville or something else the president has done that casts him as anti-semitic. >> over the past few days the democrats have been kind of tripping over their own feet. they've been happy to let them do that and hammer on it. you've seen the president call it disgraceful. he's more than happy to speak about it with reporters and that's because they're able to push this narrative with the democrats that things they don't condemn that they're hypocrites. >> t

. >> as we go to break, a republican senator told cnn's phil mattingly, quote, it's not like it signals a big break but one maybe we avoided over the past few years that we can push back and send a message when we need to. >> how about that? >> that's how much republicans are interested in pushing back. >>> beto o'rourke's presidential run is in full swing hours after he made it official. he already has doubters in his own party. >>> then what would secretary treasury steve mnuchin do to keep president trump's tax returns from congress? just ahead. if you have moderate to severe psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis, little things can be a big deal. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not an injection or a cream. it's a pill that treats differently. for psoriasis, 75% clearer skin is achievable, with reduced redness, thickness, and scaliness of plaques. for psoriatic arthritis, otezla is proven to reduce joint swelling, tenderness, and pain. and the otezla prescribing information has no requirement for routine lab monitoring. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. it may cause severe diarr

and with me in the studio to share their insights, kathy lucy with the associated press, cnn's phil mattingly, and cnn's sara murray. a huge fall from grace if that's the right word for paul manafort. i met paul 30 years ago when i came to washington, if you remember him from the 2016 convention and big man, swagger, and now humbled today by a federal judge who is senting him to prison for quite some time. to be clear, none of the charges have anything to do with the president of the united states and that is the argument the trump legal team have to make. you can flip the coin and if you judge a man by the company he keeps, and michael flynn convicted and michael cohen going to prison, you can look at it that way. >> we went from hire to all of the best people and now all of the people i hired are on their way to jail cells. i think today is, you know, it's a mixed bag. paul manafort, obviously, he's 69 years old and he's going to be going to jail for a long time for that age. he has taken a huge hit. so obviously, his wealth, how he's lost his trust fund for his children. he's lost all of t
