it has been suggested maybe rudy giuliani would be good for that job or ted cruz. but my question is this: if you brought in anybody from the campaign, wouldn't they face the same problems that jeff sessions has regarding,you know, whether or not there was any contact with any russians in the campaign where we are right now. ed: recusal. >> i'm not an attorney, i can't get into the legalities of it what i can say every member of the campaign as well as the president have been very clear that there was no inappropriate action and certainly in collusion of any kind. and i think that anybody that came on from the campaign shouldn't have any conflict given that fact. ainsley: what about rudy giuliani? would he be somebody that the president would consider? >> you know i know he is somebody that he respects. but right now attorney general sessions is the attorney general. and i haven't been part of any conversations disgusting potential replacements and so i can't comment on that. ed: sarah, we want to take up your challenge and focus as steve says, we have been talking

and rudy giuliani says that's not true. another big question, as chris says, who could take the job in i mean, who could get confirmed? >> well, the big problem is that jeff sessions leaves, there would be an acting attorney general and donald trump could appoint someone else from the justice department to be acting attorney general. rachel brand or someone else and then pressure that person to turn around and fire bob mueller. that's what richard nixon did. cox got fired and that's exactly what is going to happen here. people are not going to tolerate this and the president insisting on loyalty and talking about loyalty at the boy scouts meeting today, that's not going to solve the problem either. they have on their uniform an american flag, not a picture of donald trump. when people want to stop the investigation, we're not going to tolerate that from the president or anyone else. >> chris, abby, richard, thank you so much. >>> "outfront" next, jared kushner says that he never colluded with the russians. >>> and john mcca

. >> and rudy giuliani's name has been band yesterday about as a replacement.d about it. >> reporter: rudy giuliani was talked about being the secretary of state or a variety of things. but there's been a rumor who would replace jeff session it is he stepped down? rudy giuliani was flying to washington today and cnn caught up with him and he said there's no truth to this rumor. i'm not going to be named the next attorney general. he also said i believe that jeff sessions did the right thing by recusing himself from this russian investigation. and should the president, if the president would appoint him, there's a good reason to believe he would have to recuse himself as well, because rudy giuliani was also involved in the campaign at the same time period. but it points out how difficult it would be in this environment in washington to confirm a new attorney general. it's one of the reasons a lot of smart minds think that the attorney general will stay. but again, of course that's all up to the president. we'll see if they ever have that meeting. >> jeff zeleny,

the man who did that was rudy giuliani by getting tough with criminals. i can't imagine rudy giuliani the day after a police officer is shot as this was leaving town. >> absolutely not along with bill brennan, the police commissioner, they made this place feel safe. it is like we are going to back in time as you mentioned where on every street corner there are people, homeless people coming up to the windows, people sleeping in the street, traffic is insane. these are the priorities of new york city. david: look where he is going. new york city is the representation of capitalism, on wall street, tiffany's, it is kept alive by the free market system, these protesters are anti-capitalists, they represent the opposite of what new york celebrates. >> back to family. people fight with each other but never talk about family outside the family. and going to germany trash talking the president of the united states. david: trash talking capitalist system on which new york commerce is based. >> as we look at other countries like venezuela, socialism is imploding t

there's discussions about maybe rudy giuliani although he shut those down today. and perhaps you coming into a more -- and outside role, integral, will you take a bigger role in this administration in any way? >> i'm going to try to be helpful in ways that the president finds useful. i'm focused very much on trying to get a tax cut bill passed and signed into law by thanksgiving it i think that's the most important project for republicans in the next few months. and it's key to the 2018 election. let me say, i think scaramucci is a good choice for a reason that may surprise you. scaramucci is a new yorker, he's a businessman, he's a millionaire. he's a natural fighter. he will take some of the pressure off trump. i think trump is felt, the president has felt, very beleaguered. he talked about the beleaguered attorney general, i think the president has felt beleaguered because frankly this thing is so totally screwed up, it is so one-sided, and it is such a witch hunt that i'm totally sympathetic to the trump position. i think it's absurd that the republicans in co

>> i will say this about ag, if you think way back -- you should remember this, rudy giuliani was onethe first people that the president wanted for ag, another person that he favors. but then jeff sessions, one of the first people to campaign form, beloved in the south, he has really tried to do a good job for the president. it's a complex situation, but i agree with dana. if you are upset and you don't like someone in the position like that, you have to have somebody to step up and stop you merely industry. >> do incorporated he doesn't want to fire because he already asked him to get rid of mueller, and if he fires him then -- >> i think he is waiting for the resignation. >> you have to have a replacement ready to go, and i don't think he has one. >> who is widely respected. >> he doesn't like rosenstein, so that's out the window. >> i say waters, he knows a lot of people in washington. >> thank you so much. the new white house to medication's director has a bold plan for plugging leaks to the press. we will tell you what it is coming up next. stay with us. you won't see these folks

i think rudy giuliani said it he did the proper things by the rules of justice.on't know what the reason would be. but i will say this. the president or the chief executive -- i was governor of my state and i wanted to put my staff and have people around me. the president has that prerogative to do. that's part of the job and he has to have a team that he believes in. and he will make that decision. i don't think what jeff did by recusing himself he did exactly what he should have done. >> joe manchin thank you for being with us. >> thank you sir. >> the late headline for the "washington post" on the man whose friends call him mooch. also known to the rest of us as anthony scaramucci. the new white house communications director. this includes what new changes may come. we'll have the writer of the piece on with us next. >> it is a complete bogus and nonsensical thing. the kid took a nothing meeting. reince priebus called it a nothing burger. since that's been overused. would "i" taken that meeting? i'm not sure. >> white house communications director anthony scar

. >> rudy giuliani is an adviser to the president on cyber security. he was asked in poland this week why the u.s. hasn't punished russia for interfering in the election. listen to how he answered. >> i do think we have taken action. i just don't think we've announced it. >> so he's suggesting that the u.s. has taken some covert action already to punish russia. can you confirm whether that's true? >> no, i can't. i don't know what the context of his comment was and i can't confirm that. >> you can't confirm that because you're not sure about it or you can't confirm it because it's covert and you don't want to talk about it? >> i don't know what he's talking about. i don't know what it's in reference to. no, i can't talk about a conversation he had in a different forum where i just heard a sound bite. >> ambassador haley, north korea tested an intercouldn't ballistic missile that could reach the state of alaska. this is how the president responded. take a listen. >> as far as north korea is concerned, i don't know. we'll see what happens. i don't like t

it raises a lot of questions of what they were talking about. >> if someone floated the idea of rudy giulianiim, a white house official told me that's not the case, but rudy was caught by a cnn reporter at the airport, and he said he thought what sessions did in terms of recusing himself was perfectly in keeping with justice department guidelines. >> if he hadn't, he would not have been following the guidelines he was given by the officer at the justice department. how would that have looked? but what happens if sessions quits or gets fired? i guess rod rosenstein becomes the acting attorney general -- >> trump hates him, too. >> -- trump hates him, but who can he appoint? he can't get a partisan republican at this point. he almost has to appoint someone like a rod rosenstein or robert mueller, not that he would appoint either. sessions leaving replaces someone, who whatever his problems with him, is a trusted republican senator, someone who agrees with trump on a lot of issues, and will be replaced by someone who is more a career law enforcement guy. this does not seem to be a case where tru

rudy giuliani's name is often bandied about for this. but the reality is, wolf, interestingly today, he said he thinks jeff sessions did the right thing. >> interesting, if jeff sessions were to resign, rod rosen stein the deputy attorney general would be acting attorney general until the new candidate could be confirmed. jeff zeleny, thanks very much. >>> let's get to the other breaking news we are following on health care and the president's 11th hour bid to get his republican party in line. with a crucial procedural vote just hours away, mr. trump is urging senate republicans to, quote, do the right thing. let's go to you aour congressio correspondent phil mattingly. what are you hearing? >> reporter: there will be a vote tomorrow, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell making that very clear. what we don't know is the final product senators will be entering to debate on tomorrow and perhaps more importantly whether they have the votes at all and that is exactly why you saw the president today give his best effort to turn the screws o

especially if he brings in rudy giuliani.derstand what trump's thinking is because he feels exposed but people feel that he needs to stick with jeff sessions. >> i don't understand the goal. the president tweeted yesterday that his attorney general was beleaguered. he was beleaguered because of the of the undermining him. today he said in an interview with the "wall street journal," sessions different like him as much as the crowd size in alabama. jeff sessions run by 95% of the valley. maybe he can't do a rally like president trump. what is the goal? >> you know what this is? this is the president being transparent. telling you i am having a hard time with this. i am frustrated. i am feeling disappointed. yes, jeff was with me from the begin and he appreciated that. i think the frustration comes from the mueller investigation. instead of us wondering what the president thinks about it, it's all playing out in real time here. i think it's a problem for the president. if he were to fire jeff sessions or if jeff sessions were t

you have people like rudy giuliani and newt gingrich, they're all saying it. does it matter to him at all? >> i don't know. we're going to see. this is a big one here for the president. we have been wondering about when the dam is going to break for a year and a half. he won the primary. he tore through all these other republican candidates without any help from senate republicans other than jeff sessions, of course. so, you know, i don't think their criticism of him is going to mean a whole lot. but there are -- but sessions represents something different here, right? sessions is the core of the trump base. i will say, you know, he went after steve bannon about a month ago, couple of months ago. bannon didn't quit and survived that and we're sort of in a similar situation. if that was true for bannon, it's certainly true for sessions and it will be interesting in the next few hours year, next 12 to 24 hours to see if any of these crucial voices in the arch conservative media in trump world start pushing back on this. >> thank you all. next, you're the preside
