earlier, rachel schofield spoke to richard ratcliffe about what he plans to do now. a big change over the weekend. we have had the banning of family visits apart from once a month, and we've also had no phone calls. well, you are allowed six phone calls, but only domestic numbers, so she cannot call me as one of them. why has that happened? we are bewildered. there's been a change at the head of the prison, so it could be that. it could be wider politics, though it's often hard to tell with iran.

outstanding, highly respected by everybody that knows him >> reporter: but richard burr warned the white house not to nominate ratcliff, still the president named him on twitter sunday the next day nbc news was first to report ratcliffe falsely claimed he put terrorists in prison and today "the washington post" reported he did not arrest 300 illegal immigrants in a single day as he claimed. ratcliffe faced partisan criticism for rarely traveling to hotspots or doing his homework on his committee. sue gordon may take over for rarely now. >> i like her very much. i've always liked sue gordon >> reporter: tonight this is raising more questions about the white house vetting process. more than 30 times by our count, the president has named someone for a big job and it has not gone forward lester >> thanks andrea >>> tonight the president is again raising eyebrows with a tweet about elijah cummings after a break in at cummings' baltimore homefter a break in at >> just hours after reviving his attack on democrats for poverty and crime on america's inner cities like baltimore -- >> the homicide rate in baltimore is significan

. >> richard burr refused to answer questions about ratcliffe's nomination. >>> puerto rico's scandal-plaguedo rossello leaving office today. who will replace him, still unclear. the puerto rico legislature delayed a vote to confirm the new secretary of state. by law he should be the one to succeed rossello but if he is not confirmed before rossello steps down, then wanda vasquez would be next in line. she says she does not want that job. she tweeted thursday, if the time comes she will assume the responsibility imposed by the law. >>> we are waiting for months. finally we can say football is back. we got our first look at the nfl class of 2019. andy scholes has more on this morning's bleacher report next. with my hepatitis c, i felt i couldn't be at my best for my family. in only 8 weeks with mavyret, i was cured and left those doubts behind. i faced reminders of my hep c every day. but in only 8 weeks with mavyret, i was cured. even hanging with friends i worried about my hep c. but in only 8 weeks with mavyret, i was cured. mavyret is the only 8-week cure for all common types of hep c. bef

richard burr. they're not going to tolerate a john ratcliffe, devin nunes, some of these other people. a experienced hand. the law says the dni has to have significant intelligence experience. >> i'm a romantic about politics. i'm not a cynic. i do believe in it and have i dreams it's going to get better again. and i see a guy like richard burr, the ranking republican chair of the house senate intelligence committee there's a good guy. i think he has been showing his influence, guys. i think he has a big hand in letting this thing die, this terrible appointment. >> he is retiring. >> you're killing. >> sorry, chris. >> i've got to have heroes, malcolm. i need them. thank you, malcolm, you're great. thank you, malcolm nance, ken. >>> which democratic candidate scares trump the most? that's a question i don't know the answer to. is he afraid of elizabeth warren because she is so tough? does he think biden is too comfortable for people? he might be afraid of him? is it the centrist candidate, biden, or progressive candidate building up grassroots support who's got the zeal? plus, a brand-

intelligence, the senate intelligence committee chair, richard burr, coming out and saying basically, he had questions about how partisan ratcliffe would be at dni. we watch the democrats try to overthrow presidency, try to block the trump candidacy for the office. i mean, what, what in the world is wrong with that guy? >> i think that he has come out and said he will help john get confirmed and i think some of these news reports are never trust anonymous sources usually someone that has lost the fight and then they want to burn a bridge or otherwise get their point of view out. i think ultimately, john ratcliffe will do he did as u.s. attorney. and his new role at dni. that is to put any partisanship to the side and follow the law and fact and do the job and lead with great honor and integrity. lou: speaking of honor and integrity, we watching john solomon has been at the front of the reporting as you know. on spy gate and all of its various forms. christopher wray appears to be trying to cover up for james comey and corrupt in the ways for example, suing to block the release of documents that are frankly, you know, they contain

richard burr released is a statement saying he had not met john ratcliffe, but would work with him through the process. the intelligence community is a small community and there have been times when people have come to these positions without a deep bench of experience but it certainly goes much better when they have established relationships and at least a public record of respect for the work of the intelligence communities. he is a former u.s. attorney and he's got that law enforcement piece but he's been very critical of the russia investigation at a time when that is still in many ways still a part of our experience with the election that is still coming. so that is a real problem and there were other republican senators who expressed doubts. you still have to be confirmed by the senate for this position and the signs were already up. democrats were not going to support him and some republican senators had expressed some doubts as well. >> let me turn to our colleague, andrea mitchell who has now joined me on set. talk about the significance and what kelly points out which is we're en

politico reported he called richard burr the chairman of the senate intelligence committee and what do you think about ratcliffe let me get back to you, and an hour later trump tweets it out he's nominating ratcliffe. and now you're seeing the disaster that occurred. there's a good reason, laura, why in the past presidents typically did their vetting before announcing a nominee not after to avoid these kind afrs catc catc catastrophes. >> listen to what the president said today about his vetting process. >> you vet for me. i like when you vet. the vetting process for the white house is very good, but you're part of the vetting process, you know? i give out a name to the press and they vet for me. we save a lot of money that way. >> ryan, we both have kids. it's kind of like when your kid say says to you, i could tell you the answer but why don't you give me the answer instead? knowing they haven't done the work here. ryan, let the media do the work and save money, what? >> he treats this process so cavalierly. look, there have been white houses that sometimes leak name tuesday the press to see what comes back,

the chairman of that committee, richard burr has said he will work aggressively to confirm the president's choice but hasn't answered any other questions about ratcliffe'st's causing koern is when you go to his bio on his congressional page, there's a line that says he put terrorists in prison. that's pretty black and white. we have searched the terrorism case when he was a prosecutor in texas, we have not found any evidence of that. his office has not been able to give us any evidence of that. so that is very troubling. and we know from his past statements he has routinely criticized the intelligence committee and for their role into possible relations between the u.s. and trum campaign. >> i knowg on this. we appreciate that. >>> the united states this morning formally exiting a crucial missile treaty with ru war. the question becomes now what? is a new nuclear arms race ahead? we're on it. stay right there. whoops. sorry. unlike ordinary diapers pampers is the first and only diaper that distributes wetness evenly into three extra absorb channels. they stay up to three times drier so babies can sleep soundly all night wishing you love, sleep and play

reporter: ratcliffe's office said that while working in the eastern district of texas he, quote, opened, managed, and supervised numerous domestic-related cases, but republicans have more questions. richard berg told us earlier today that he wasn't going to comment, but the committee would investigate it once that formal nomination comes forward. >> 116 democrats in the house of representatives now publicly support an impeachment inquiry. that's two more. if we get two more, that's half of the democratic majority in the house of representatives. so what happens then? >> well, pressure is going to grow. already, house democrats on the house judiciary committee have said their current course of action is essentially the same thing as an impeachment inquiry in the aftermath of a court filing last week, said they were actively considering articles of impeachment. that language in that court filing endorsed by speaker pelosi. but pelosi has put the brakes on moving forward with formal impeachment proceedings. and when i asked her just this summer whether or not a majority of the caucus could convince her to move forward with an impeachment inquiry, she pushed back. >> if the majority of the c
