because he says he was disturbed about the treatment of ronny jackson, right in the president's doctor, the white house physician formerly who was picked to be the va head. way going to ask you about jackson and where that stands in this new investigation the pentagon is opening. but there's some breaking news i understand coming from you guys in our unit related to the next step forward in the search to lead the va, to replace jackson. fill me in. >> reporter: it was supposed to be dr. ronny jackson. the president wanted his personal physician to be the new head of the va. but that didn't work out and now we have confirmed with a white house official that there are interviews taking place, many of them at least we understand to take place over the course of this week, including at least one with the former representative, the republican from florida, jeff miller. this is a person that was initially vetted for this post as you see on your screen he serveds a republican congressman from florida for about 16 years. has since left congress, said he's a class ally of the president. he serv

he dragged ronny jackson through the mud publicly.ou understand why the president is upset, a lot of people are upset the way he handled that, should he be concerned in montana. >> it's possible. montana is a strange state. montana has ranchers, cowboys. >> it's a lovely state. >> beautiful. >> it has a lot of hippies, environmentalists, strange mix of people and independent minded. >> trump won that state by 24. but they've shown they're willing to vote for liberals and conservatives on the same ballot, strange. tester probably overreached here. he attached a rear admiral and attacked his honor and attacked in ways that were shameful. you have to go home and explain to your children, not just he did this or that. these are personal. the secret service came out and said this isn't a real thing. >> one of them isn't true. >> that's not true, there were two. the car wrecks and the hotel, the secret service said they had no record of either of those. >> here's the challenge for tester. >> that's an issue. if you are going to be the savio

jackson for a second -- >> a bad sign. >> let's talk about ronny jackson. the white house knew last fall about a potential breach of privacy incident involving jackson and the vice president's wife. she directed aides to tell john kelly about her concerns. and yet still the white house is angry at senator jon tester for sharing this information, these allegations against rear admiral jackson when he was up for v.a. secretary. although, apparently, tester did so with the blessing of the republican chairman of the committee, johnny isakson. so it seems like karen pence and vice president pence had issues with this guy, johnny isakson, the senator from georgia and republican had issued and jon tester is getting all the heat. >> i would say substantively, the ha-- the allegation is that ronny jackson violated the hippa -- the privacy law. the health privacy rights and laws of a patient which happens to be mrs. pence. but that is a gross violation for any doctor of any kind. and the fact that it is coming from the pence family and not coming from jon tester himse

ronny jackson about this incident. does that raise any legal complications for ronny jackson?> i have no idea what the letter says, i don't know if it purcha purports to be some kind of an authorization, and if it does contain one, that does change the angle significantly. but an authorization from one doctor to another without the patient's involvement generally will not suffice. so we would need to know the contents of that letter of ronny jackson's before we could pass on it. >> danny, anna, thank you so much for your time today. >>> and now the president strikes back. in a flurry of tweets beginning last night, president trump attacks the media over an nbc story about his chief of staff and a "new york times" report on questions the special counsel wants to ask the president. the "times" reports that mueller has 49 questions for the president. they include five about his fired national security adviser fik and he will fly michael flynn, 21 about jim comey, anyone about jeff sessions and 14 about coordination with russia. we should note that nbc news has not verified this l

it's very apples and oranges to ronny jackson. people said she's the next ronny jackson.his isn't even close to that. there are democrats in tough elections that it's difficult to vote against a national security official, and maybe people aren't paying as much attention to this. people with intel securities or ties are bringing very hard behind the scenes to bring people in favor of her. they believe she is continuity for the agency despite the so-called torture, that she is somebody who should be atop the agency and that should clear her path forward. by no means it will be easy but i think a lot of people have said watch the hearing. how she answers these questions could be the be-all, end-all, but heading into the hearing i think she's in good shape, all things considering. >> you have leon panetta supporting her nomination. >> and those constantly in war with the trump white house with the trump white house on this one. >> i think that will help on the hill, too, and the hill recently in the last few days have ramped up their republican campaign on blaf of je behalf

ronny jackson won't be getting that post. his nomination is withdrawn. people close to kelly have said he won't accept that. sarah sanders from the podium today said also this is a non-starter. let's be clear the president often floats job ideas to people without following through. kelly still has a position in the white house tonight. people around him have suggested that there is still a relationship there, perhaps it's not irrev caably broken. there's no question. president's frustration with kelly has grown considerably in recent weeks and months from his handling of the rob porter affair,. this chief of staff's influence in the west wing has diminished considerably. the reporting the last day or two probably will only shrink it further. as one person in the west wing has told me in the last 24 hours, kelly's days are numbered. it's not a question of if. it's a question of when. >> two guys who do a great job of covering this white house, matthew nussbaum and jonathan lemire, thanks. >>> coming up, is donald trump right to be as optimistic as he is a

chief, ronny jackson. >> mike pence's doctor, the vice president's doctor, tipped off the white houseut potential issues with then president trump's personal physician. joining us now, manu raju with your exclusive reporting what have you learned. >> reporter: president trump has contend that had all the criticism has been nothing but vicious rumors we are learning for the first time there were serious concerns about jackson's conduct that were raised by vice president pence's doctor last september when he wrote detail memos that were provided to the vice president's chief-of-staff and john kelly and cnn has now obtained. pence's doctor accused jackson of violating patient rites for karen pence who had a medical situation in walter reed hospital. after pence's doctor raised alarms about this to senior officials and to mrs. pence, the doctor had a very contentious confrontations tworks of them with jackson, where the physician wrote in those memos that he was, quote, intimidating and was engaging in aggressive behavior that made the physician feel uncomfortable and allegedly jackson di

ronny jackson who has been criticized not just by jon tester and the senate committee staff, includingublican staff on the committee, but by vice president pence's wife and her physician, who say that dr. jackson improperly violated the patient confidentiality of mike pence's wife. john kelly knows all of that and doesn't care about any of it. because john kelly has lied with just as much gusto about a member of the house of representatives. >> the congresswoman stood up. and in the long tradition of empty barrels making the most noise, stood up there in all of that and talked about how she was instrumental in getting the funding for that building, and mao she took care of her constituents because she got the money. and she just called up president obama. and on that phone call, he gave the money, the $20 million to build the building. and she sat down. and we were stunned, stunned that she had done it. even for someone that is that empty a barrel, we were stunned. >> someone whose that empty a barrel. when immediately every word of that was proven to be completely false, outright lie

it was ronny jackson, that was the president's idea, that was it.lly, if that ends up being an option, would he get confirmed? >> you know, it's hard to tell. i think general kelly would be a much safer pick than mr. jackson -- dr. jackson was, obviously, but the president has to be careful. he's talked about draining the swamp. well, at this point he's got a fire hose into the swamp. he's still got problems with zinke and pruitt, mulvaney, mnuchin. i mean i was under my questioning just a week ago with director mulvaney, he was talking about he wasn't going to hold back anything in the investigation of pruitt. well, now we understand in his own words last week that apparently white house policy was for sale. so he's standing in a waist-high swamp and he's loading water into it. i guess my belief is he's tired of general kelly telling him what to do and this is his way of getting rid of him in a way. >> all right, but interesting that you say not even a sure thing. he's got to be one of the best known people that might say yes to this at this point.

"washington post" reports the pentagon will determine whether president trump's former doctor ronny jacksonface an investigation. jackson withdrew his nomination for v.a. secretary last week amid allegations of professional misconduct. he is remaining with the white house medical unit but is not returning to his role as the president's doctor. jackson has denied any wrongdoing. >>> "newsweek" reports on a predator alert. the fbi launched an investigation into more than 50 mysterious packages sent to girls at elementary schools in alabama. the packages contained food and a letter signed by atur bhuck of santa fe, new mexico. he's claims he's 14 years old, mentally disabled, and a target of bullying. he asks the girls to reply to two e-mail addresses. the fbi says one e-mail account appeared to originate from houston. similar packages were ordered from e-mail addresses for girls in south carolina and virginia. >>> "people" reports ashley judd sued harvey weinstein for blacklisting her after she refused his alleged sexual advances. judd came forward last fall claiming sexual misconduct against

ronnie jackson any way you look at it.d republicans saying that she is the right choice. so what's the problem? >> she has democrats and republicans saying she's the wrong choice. while there are no question about her qualifications or, there's a virtual certainty that sort of laying out qualifications is going to be a messier process than it has been for president trump's other nominees to senior position. the basic issue is she was involved in the interrogations during the bush administration that the public has nephew seen in full detail in light of day. to the extent that it will require what her role is in the programs and what the programs looked like operationally, that could get very uncomfortable for her and the agency. that's the other consideration. it's not just can she make it through. like a lot of the president nominations, it could be be ugly but more likely than not to make it through, but is it worth the process. >> from the administration's standpoint, the first woman to run the agency. it's the exact op

ronny jackson, the president's former lead physician.fairs. the second largest department within the federal government. jackson had to withdraw amid all these allegations of misconduct. roughly two dozen or so people came forward and talked to senator jon tester of the senate veterans affairs committee about their allegations and pena was one of them. she wrote three memos last fall detailing significant concerns about ronny jackson. alleging that he, one point, disclosed a private patient information of karen pence. that is mike pence's wife during an incident that occurred last fall at camp david. she was treated at walter reed hospital. the vice president's doctor wrote a memo saying that jackson may have breached the hippa law and asked that john kelly be made aware of this situation. pena wrote a memo detailing this to send it up the food chain. when jackson found out about this, he allegedly intimidated jennifer pena. he acted in aggressive manner according to pena's memos and pena wanted to resign. these concerns also were brough

it makes you wonder if ronny jackson was put up by the president to say that, as well.but this, in all of this, even though the president may have dictated these words, it is about his fitness for the office. mentally, physically, what have you. and what is he trying to hide if he had to dictate this in >> do you want to add anything on that? >> it's one thing in the course of a campaign to lie about something that just makes you look so small. now he's run up against something in this russia investigation where he's not going to be able to lie and get away with it when you're dealing with a special prosecutor and very skillful folks at exposing those lies. so his whole way of doing things, and it just undermines more serious work that the president is up to, and that the administration is up to, and his inability to get out of his own way. >> we'll see what happens. very quickly, marco rubio, the republican senator from florida, he now is suggesting, david, that the low rating of the corporate tax rate, which was in the republican legislation, he says he doesn't see a

>> one person said there was probably a letter who was probably ronnie jackson at the time. bu but we don't have any details on the nature of that letter. the men came in, they were looking through the paper files, they were actually dr. bornstein and his wife to open other cabinets, they didn't want to. dr. bornstein said those records were kept in a sink with a bicycle lock in the examining room. and that there was no reason to barge in that way, that he would have giving them to them if they had asked for them. >> maybe the president didn't like the way he talked about what he revealed publicly, and this was okay, fine, you're not my doctor anymore, or was there something else he suspects was going on here. >> someone with knowledge of this situation says the president probably didn't want this particular individual to have copies of his medical records, given the fact that he had spoken out to the press. >> now that the story is out there, if the proper paper work you're describing wasn't filed, we don't know that that happened, and donald trump now says no, no, no, i wa

of the senate veteran affairs committee is speaking out on "360" over president's criticism of ronny jacksonican has to say. jackson withdrew last week and no longer the president as personal physician, that's after allegations surfaced around him including that he improper dispenses medication. he claims to have done nothing wrong. >> the president wrote, quote, secret service has informed me that john tester's statemnts on dr. jackson are not true. there were no such findings, a horrible thing we in d.c. must live with just like collusion. tester should lose the race in montana. very sick. so, does the republican chairman who works with the senator gary tucker caught up with the senator today and joins us now. >> i did catch up with him where he was speaking in carrollton, georgia this afternoon. i asked him for he agrees with president trump that allegations made or dr. jackson are not true, and he said, he does not agree with that. >> well, fortunately, last night a story broke that made that a false statement. because part of the allegations made in one of the affidavits was verified by

ronny jackson. >> he ignored it. >> yeah. it was utterly ignored. manu's reporting is phenomenal. but that also the vice president's doctor felt intimidated by dr. jackson and almost refused to meet with him anymore. >> there was an angry altercation of some kind. >> jackson apparently owned. >> he wasn't dr. feel-good for him. >> that's the point. there may be a kiss up. >> let's try to put it into the category of what does it mean. i'm of two minds on this. this documentation comes out no reason to believe it's not legit. good. good data point. the white house pushes back and says this was a dispute between doctors. they don't like each other. that's all it is. it doesn't show anything different. okay. fine. then they say, by the way, all the other allegations that came out are false. it's not just the white house that's putting this out. friends of their's, respected guy, ari fliesher who did the job done there with the bush administration, it was in a tweet, right, inherently incomplete and ari would have to speak for himself. he says all the all

in the case of ronny jackson, dr. ronny jackson, nominated to be v.a.ry, that didn't turn out so well. people probably haven't forgotten that one yet. it is a curious case, i think, that we've ii doctors that are both say -- we have two doctors that are both saying this. >> and from the beginning, a new york character. the character in this reality show. >> straight out of central casting. >> let's talk about the chance of a mural sit down as they look like they're getting slimmer between the president and robert mueller whose team is investigating the russians and russian influence in the election. what about the chances this morning of a subpoena to get the president to sit down with robert mueller's team? >> it certainly seems, and cnn has reported, president trump has sort of turned against the idea of wanting to sit down with robert mueller. earlier he did, and then he was vascillating. now i think latest cnn reporting is that he sort of turned against it ever since that raid on michael cohen. and now he doesn't really want to sit down with mueller

ronny jackson, he was a person in good standing as far as i understood as a white house physician.onald trump, gives that bizarre performance with alarmingly similar words used by dr. bornstein who says that the president dictated the letter. we don't know if the president dictated dr. jackson's performance, but there's certainly a lot of words that were used in both. michael cohen, dr. bornstein who in an interview with nbc said he felt raped. ronny jackson, i don't know what he's going to do, he's out as white house doctor, everyone who comes in contact with the president ends up tarnished or worse. >> as soon as you broke it my first thought was michael cohen. there is basically a basket of people who have either worked with the white house or been involved with the trump's lives for years ended up completely chucked out the basket and thrown under the bus. this is what happens. a long-time trump associate who hasn't worked for the president in many years once told me that as soon as donald trump feels like you are no longer useful to him, he will get rid of it and will feel not

ronnie jackson. i think we need to get to the bottom of it. >> melissa: a power struggle in the right house. kind of fighting each other for territory is what it sounds lik like. >> jessica: the 23rd fell nominee at this point. while i have no reason -- i don't know what happened with dr. jackson, but i do know he was a great position for george w. bush and barack obama and both of them chose not to nominate him to become va secretary. which is just that he's not qualified to do it on the basis of his experience. >> melissa: that suggest they wanted bureaucrats more of the same. >> katie: before we go, i want to get back to the politics of those. the president is upset about the va nominee but going after jon tester because it in a red state as a democrat. >> jason: senator tester, what he says are two different things. the two people in montana are figuring out that these are people who unnecessarily attacked an admiral in the united states military, lied about his record, secret service came out an

it's not the vice president going after ronny jackson. it's the left to get ron tester out from underneath an attack on his character. when you were in the white house and i was in the senate if i put a document out with had criminal allegations against somebody without any sort of justification or corroboration, i'd have been fired the next day. this guy feels comfortable enough to go on cable news and brag about it. i think john tester is in a bad place right now. i think the president is absolutely right to criticize him. i hope the people in montana hear it loud and clear. >> dana: let me also take you then while we wait for sarah sanders at the briefing to talk about the issues at the border. chuck, you know, in some ways, i said yesterday on "the five" that the video from the situation down at the border right now in tijuana and san diego is almost like an in-kind contribution to the mid-term election for republicans and president trump himself. do i have it wrong on that? >> let me be clear. i own the largest latino political consu

. >> this is like the perfect reminder for us that before there was ronny jackson, there was harold bornstein. as you said, this was a doctor who really made headlines during the campaign for going to extremes and describing the state of donald trump's health. he said he was unequivocally fit to be president, he would be the healthiest president in the history of the country, he is astonishingly in excellent health. now he's saying there was an incident in february of 2017 where these men came in and raided his doctor's office so they could procure the records of donald trump. remember, this man has been donald trump's doctor for many decades. >> which is also timing-wise, as you heard in the sound bite two days after this doctor had prescribed donald trump some sort of medication for hair growth. >> obviously we would be predicting or speculating that we said it was related to that but it is noteworthy that the time line is such. but he's using pretty strong language in this interview with nbc news and how it made him feel. he said he felt raped, frightened and sad when donald trump's bodygu

ronny jackson had the last position to become secretary of veterans affairs. he's speaking out now that he said he, dr. bornstein, felt raped, frightened and sad when keith shiller, the president's long-time bodyguard who was then working in the office, and another large man -- his words -- came into his office on february 3rd. this was two weeks after the january 20th inauguration and said they were taking everything. bornstein said they were here 25 to 30 minutes. it created a lot of chaos. he was not given a form authorizing the release of records signed by the president, which is known as the hipa release. >> ronny jackson came to public prominence. those of us at the white house knew of him as the white house doctor for years. he came out to the lectern and made a statement about the president's health. he said he's in an extraordinary bill of health and they had been examining him, and they were making disclosures that presidents of many years have made about their physical well-being. but the question was, coming in, was this doctor of president trump's

what did you think of happened through ronny jackson? you went through kind of similar stuff, it shows you how political everything is. it is pretty tragic. you're a guy who has tremendous credentials. who the president wanted on board to help the country. he wanted dr. swabbing son -- jackson as well, but a lot gets in the way. >> first of all thank you. second of all the progressive left wants to stop this president no matter what. they are not afraid he is going to fail. they are afraid he is going to succeed. so they will do anything he can to guarranty his failure f we can have results like we did with ronald reagan, where the economy came back, people had jobs, it will take another 20 years before the democrat progressives can convince the american people these big government programs are in their best interests because president trump will prove they're not by his performance on the economy. they want him to fail. they will do whatever they can to deprive him whatever he wants, mike pompeo, embarrassing. trish: he had already been

just one week after that scandal that brought down the white house physician ronny jackson, trump's previous doctor, his name is dr. harold bornstein, remember him? he has resurfaced. he tells cnn that glowing letter he wrote about then candidate trump calling him the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency was actually dictated by trump himself. i know, surprise, right? and then dr. bornstein also tells cnn he was, his words, robbed when trump's former bodyguard and two other men came to his office to get the president's medical records more than a year ago. >>> and then there is kanye west, doubling down on his support for his new bff. >> i just love trump. that's my boy. >> and making what may be his most shocking claim of all. >> you hear about slavery for 400 years. for 400 years? that sounds like a choice. like, you were there for 400 years and it's all of y'all? you know, like, it's like we're mentally imprisoned. >> so, to be clear, and i can't believe that i actually need to say this, black and brown people who were enslaved for centuries had absolutely no choice. they

pena about ronny jackson and his leadership, office environment, things of that nature. she was told from the political side here that those had to be addressed through the military. again, these doctors are active duty military and they serve not only the president and vice president and their families but staff more broadly here at the white house. she is stepping away from this position. where she will head next, she's been a part of the white house medical unit a number of years pre-dating the current trump administration. this is another change from a department we so rarely talk about in terms of anything beyond an annual physical for a president or vice president. so it is a, another shake-up here when we're trying to get more details about what was really behind it. chris? >> kelly o'donnell, thank you for that breaking news. michael steele, doug parnell, thank you as well. >>> president trump, as we said, just arriving, and bringing the stairs over to air force one. getting ready to address that friendly audience at the nra annual convention. >>> we'll squeeze i
