white house. we wonder if sarah polk didn't adopt that style after mrs. madison. san: conover hunt is the author of this cover story in the white house history magazine which is published by the white house historical association, showing that you've done a lot of work on sarah polk's approach to fashion and what that symbolized for her. what can you tell us about it? conover: she had a well-established sense of style from her childhood. she grew up with silks and satins. during the white house years, of course she dressed elegantly for evenings and receptions. but in the summer of 1847, they sent an order to paris for some gowns for the first lady, which was not the usual style, and all of the invoices survived, and so do the gowns, which is amazing. sort of the top designers in paris were asked to make some gowns for mrs. -- for the first lady. this was usually done by a commercial agent that they had. jacob l. martin was the agent in paris. and so, he got the order and immediately found his good friend, madam moulton, quote "good friend", who went around the par

she reorganized the staffing at the white house. saraholk was a very did was she hired a sort of a steward. they brought in their own servants and got rid of some of the paid staff at the white house. she got her steward to cut deals with the various vendors, grocers and so on in the washington area. and if they gave them significant discounts, they would give them the royal seal, as it were. and so they -- >> so, the first endorsement by the white house, right? >> by her majesty's whatever, the american version of that. but, you know, if you want us to buy all of your rolls for all of our white house dinners which were a lot then by god you're going to have to give us a discount. and it worked. and they were very, very frugal in that way, always during the entire time they were married. >> just to clarify, when she brought in servants, these were slaves. >> i was about to say she owned those servants. that's important to understand, that the polk's come from very wealthy circumstances and they are slave owners and they bring a lot of ass

white house. was sara polk more in touch with the times? >> sarah polk was an imperial presidency, meaning that the couple thought the office of the presidency and the white house as the official executive residents needed to be highly respected. so there is more formal protocol and so on. it was a very liberal approach. you could come with an introduction to any of their receptions because koch was a democrat. but at the same time, people were well dressed. there were more formal dinners. there were multiple courses. and it was considered an honor to be at the white house. she basically said dancing at the white house is not dignified. >> and she was known for her frugality. does the president still making a 25,000 dollar salary and expenses for the white house events have to be paid out of that salary? how was her frugality seen by washington and the american public? >> she reorganized the staffing at the white house. sarah polk was a wearable organized woman. what she did was she hired a steward. they brought in their own servants and got rid of

cnn's sarah westwood is at the white house. h, what steps are we learning are being taken to make sure the president doesn't contract the virus? >> yeah, fred, the protective bubble around president trump is getting thicker, and sources tell cnn that privately president trump is increasingly expressing concerns about personally contracting the virus, that he is well aware of the public perception it would create both about his ability to lead and also about the urgency of the crisis, one that as you mentioned he is trying to down play. there's a sharp disconnect between the strict measures being taken to protect the president and this attitude that trump has about the country being ready for reopening. those measures include, for example, scouring the venues the president will travel to for potential areas of contagion, setting aside bathrooms for his use and scrubbing them, sanitizing them carefully before hills arrival. also, staff are keeping very close tabs on who is going to interact with the president to make sure all of t

cnn's sarah westwood is at the white house for us. arah, what are the steps being taken to make sure he is protected and safe? >> reporter: fred, that protective bubble around president trump is certainly tightening. sources tell cnn privately trump is expressing more concern that he could personally contract the virus. he is well aware of the effect it would have on the public perception, not just of his ability to lead but also the urgency of this crisis. it is one he has obviously been trying to down play in recent days as he turns his focus to his reelection effort. some of the measures that his team is taking to keep him safe include having advance medical teams scour the venues he will be traveling for potential areas of contagion. they've been scrubbing and sanitizing the bathrooms designated for his use and they've been keeping careful tabs on the staff members and others who will be interacting with president trump at any point during his day, and all of those people have to be test. but there's a really sharp disconnect betwe

go to our white house reporter here at cnn sarah westwood. is the white house saying about this spike in cases? >> reporter: brooke, the white house is not actually had much to say at all about the troubling numbers seen in the u.s. since memorial day weekend. the public health experts who more or less have become household names since the height of the pandemic. dr. barbara birx and anthony fauci hardly visible recently. americans are looking to the government for advice how to safely transition back to normal lives, their public appearances are few and far between. that coronavirus task force meeting every day in march and april are meeting today, they've tapered off, second this week, but falling in frequency to once a week in recent days as they've bin increasingly sidelined in terms of their public presence. sources tell cnn the task force members are engaging directly with president trump less and less often. all coming as infections are on the rides in at least 18 states. something the white house press secretary sort of downplayed yest

is self-determination to actually break free from the bonds of institutional racism and whites here immediately sarah yeah he he absolutely actually did but he was stating upon itself that we're going to rise as a political activist and as a political mobilize there to gain enough power to transform these institutions so this idea of just focusing somehow which which in a bipartisan way at times liberals and conservatives to black be a viewer misses misses the point because it's institutions that are structuring that be. havior black people have never had equal access to institutions and opportunity and outcomes in us society and that's why we're seeing these demonstrations and these protests and these these rebellions and the interesting things that you're seeing multiracial multigenerational rebellion happening in the united states most of it has been peaceful but they're really resisting this this this politics and practice of institutional racism now present just one last question i have when i was a student and in that case you sound bite i was or i was growing up from a very poor family but one

first, i want to talk with former white house press secretary and fox news contributor, sarah sanders it's great to see you today. let's unpack this just a little bit, because we've seen about 50% so far of the interview. we watch the rest throughout the show. "law & order," the president making it clear what that means. how does it resonate, a do you think, with his base and a wider range of voters across america? >> i think it should resonate with everyone in a positive way. i think the point the president is making, and i've heard him do it many times before, is come as a country, we must have law and order. that doesn't mean we also don't have compassion. i don't think there is a single person that i know or in this country that wasn't appalled by what happened to george floyd, including the president. that should never happen in this country. i think the president made that very clear, but that doesn't mean that every police officer in the country acts that way, or is a bad person or a bad officer. in fact, most police officers in this country are doing the best they can to prote

those behaviors and not the states that opened too early because that came at the urging of the white house. sarah westwood, cnn, washington. >>> dr. ann ramoyne is a professor of epidemiology at ucla and she joins me now from los angeles. always good to have you with us. >> it's nice to be here. >> so white house coronavirus task force coordinator dr. deborah birx said sunday that scientific evidence shows that wearing a mask protects both yourself and others, but many americans are not wearing masks so with cases skyrocketing, is it time to mandate their use? >> rosemary, everybody should be wearing a mask. there is no reason not to wear a mask. we've now seen with data to back up the fact that wearing a mask works, and not only is it important to wear a mask because it protects other people from you but it does provide some level of protection as well to the wearer. all of these masks do. you know, i think the thing here is that when politics gets inside of these issues, all of a sudden science gets thrown out the door. what we really need to be focusing on is the science. we're asking people t

. >>> the white house is pushing back on that misclarification error today. sarahestwood is at the white house with the latest statement coming from the white house on this. >> -- about this discrepancy that we just heard cristina walk us through. this misclassification error was a factor in previous jobs reports and this person notes that the drop in the unemployment rate from april to may was still significant, even if you are accounting for that error. so that is the white house's defense of what could be a much higher unemployment rate in the month of may. nonetheless, yesterday we did see president trump take a victory lap off that top line unemployment rate, that 13.3% number, even though the economic picture may not nearly be as rosy as the one trump was describing yesterday. in that appearance in the rose garden, the president had very little to say about the issues of systemic racism, of police brutality, the kinds of issues animating the protests that we have seen around the country over the past 12 days. the president also came under scrutiny for invokin

cnn's sarah westwood at the white house. what are the realities? what happened at the rally for them to have empty seat when they were expecting, some say, a million people. >> good morning to you both. the fact that this pandemic is still continuing to race throughout this country and that people are wary about returning to normal life sort of collided with the president's hopes that he can start to move on from the coronavirus pandemic and start to focus on his re-election efforts. the campaign, as you know, has billed this as a sort of reboot of his election effort that had been on old for three months plus as the president has been focused on dealing with the coronavirus response. this was going to be his triumphant return to the campaign trail. it's not a exactly what we saw last night. the campaign had been promising that 100,000 people or more could have gathered in that area. they planned to have 20,000 people inside that arena. more than 40,000 people in a massive overflow area with a stage set up where the vice president and the president

lafayette park which is directly in front of the white house there is actually the barricade keep shifting back and back and back farther and farther back sarah now today what's going on actually is that you know we had crowds young and old black and white all saying that they want to peaceful protest not as much as that we saw yesterday but again it's this big photo op that did in front of this 200 year old st john's church near the white house the day after it was set on fire by protesters just before his big photo op actually spoke in the rose garden condemning that the rioting in the looting in the cities across the country that have seen. and he's been threatening that he would actually deploy the u.s. military to major cities if he didn't stop now overnight protesters they took to the streets in washington with all things dying down around 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning stores and businesses they were broken into when you start roughly the same amount of violence that you saw on sunday night except now you have more and more businesses boarding up their windows it's almost looking like the town is getting ready to prepare for a hurricane

actions to contain the pandemic as rigorous and effective its defense was made in a government white paper sarah clarke has more on that. united and on message 6 months after it officially reported its 1st case of covert 19 china's state council says it has won the coronavirus war and its efforts to contain the outbreak have been a success wacom time is and he has a democrat battle fully demonstrates his governance capacity and national strength the 37000 word white paper was split into 4 chapters with a detailed timeline of china's actions the state council described it as the biggest public health emergency since the founding of the people's republic of china it said more than 94 percent of infected people had recovered and rebuked international critics accusing beijing of concealing information and it called the accusations completely unreasonable so. the response is not a war of words but an effort to restore the truth we have no interest in the so-called information war in the battle against covert 19 but we must respond when placing smears against china the national health commission says

made the pledge while presenting a white paper on china's fight against covert 19 critics have accused beijing of failing to fully disclose information about the virus sarah clarke is in hong kong she says the white paper condemns those whose who've criticized china's handling of the pandemic. this is the white paper on china's handling of the covert 19 crisis they describe it as the biggest public health emergency since the founding of the people's republic of china and now the government said it took it very seriously and put in place the most rigorous measures it also said it's made some major strategic gains fighting the virus now it delivered a recovery rate of 94.3 percent in this white paper and it also documented a very detailed timeline of china's handling of the infections and its containment now there are 5 clinical trials currently underway in china but it didn't shed any light as to which stage those clinical trials are at but they did say once that vaccine has been approved that they will share that vaccine internationally now this was a commitment made earlier in the year by xi jinping now they also were asked a question about china's inter

. >>> cnn's sarah whitewood is at the white house.president yesterday called these numbers the greatest come back in america history but a deeper look at the numbers show there are m some real disparities and differences. >> that's right. president trump yesterday was taking a victory lap off of those out ttouting the unemployment rate being as low as 13% but that could be as high as 16%. we asked the white house to respond to that apparent discrepan discrepancy, have not heard back yet. but we heard the president focussing on the unemployment numbers and law and order and little to say on racism and police brutality, the issues animating the protests we're seeing around the country. and president trump is coming under scrutiny for invoking george floyd's name when talking about the unemployment numbers. >> hopefully george is looking down right now saying this is a great thing happening for our country. it's a great day for him. it's a great day for everybody. >> reporter: not only has president trump been largely silent on the issue

let's bring in the cast of the five want williams and fox news contributor and former white house press secretary sarah sanders, thank you for being with us. >> good evening. >> good night. daymac mister bolton says your assessment of him is all wrong. how do you respond? >> what i am saying is very consistent with what i have been saying since i took the job, john bolton does not have a lot of credibility, he champions what the president was doing and went out and sold that agenda and now that he no longer works for the white house he has changed his tune. he's a complete disgrace, that's not how a national security adviser should operate and i think he should be held accountable for the actions he is taken. this is not an opinion i'm the only one that shares it. if you look at most of the people that have worked with john bolton not just in the trump white house but back to the bush white house, they have the same feelings, this is a person purely driven by their own agenda. when he didn't get his way he stormed off, he acts like a 4-year-old, that is evident in everything that has taken place since

former white house press secretary sarah sanders says bolton was "drunk on power." i thought i had my moderate to severe ulcerative colitis... ...under control. turns out, it was controlling me. seemed like my symptoms were... ...taking over our time together. think he'll make it? so i talked to my doctor and learned humira can help get and keep uc... ... under control when other medications haven't worked well enough.

. >>> let's go to the white house now. cnn's sarahestwood is there. >> talk to us about the president, the declaration he made of victory. obviously for the jobs report that came out, but also i think confusing a lot of people when he talks about victory over the unrest in this country right now. >> reporter: that's right. president trump yesterday taking a victory lap on the economy but also on coronavirus and to a certain extent on the protests themselves. he was touting the jobs numbers, the encouraging jobs numbers we did see yesterday, saying that those were a sign that the u.s. is currently in the greatest recovery in american history. those are his words. of course in doing so, he risks creating something of a mission accomplished moment for himself, declaring victory over economic hardships that continue to affect millions of people and over a pandemic that continues to ravage this country as it starts to reopen. the president is also facing scrutiny of his decision to invoke george floyd's name while talking about a response

sanders former white house press secretary and fox news contributor. good morning, sarahmorning. thanks for having me on. ainsley: i know you are living in arkansas now. you were jewels where mark was a few years ago serving at the white house a year and a half ago when you left. we wanted to ask you about the protest and then peaceful protests which have turned into riots and then looting people's stores. >> i think what is happening right now is truly tragic. and i think george floyd's family calling on and asking the violence and the rioting and looting to stop is something that everybody should be listening to this all started because of the horrific incident of what happened to their family member. to george floyd. and for them to come out and publicly call on people to stop, i think should give everyone some pause and hopefully people will start to listen. no one is talking about the fact of what happened was horrible nobody disagrees with that everyone agrees that should have never happened and certainly never happen in this country. but, at the same time, allowing

clarke she joins us live from hong kong sarah was there just talk us through what are the key elements of china's white paper. well as you mention this is the white paper on china's handling of the covert 19 crosses that describe it is the biggest public health emergency since the founding of the people's republic of china now the government said it took it very seriously and put in place the most rigorous measures it also said it's made some major strategic gains fighting the virus now it delivered a recovery rate of 94.3 percent in this white paper and it also documented a very detailed timeline of china's handling of the infections and its containment it said from light to december to mid january china immediately reported the situation from january to february said when the situation escalated 346 medical teams were deployed to the epicenter of the crown a virus outbreak being the who by province set from march infections are filled to single digit status or overall the white paper declared china's response as well performed well coordinated in prevention and control and treatment it rejected accus

the president will depart for tulsa later this afternoon from the white house, victor and christi. >> sarahestwood, thank you so much. appreciate it. >> let's go to martin savidge now. he is in tulsa. martin, good morning to you. tulsa county has the most confirmed covid-19 cases in oklahoma. the worry is that this could be a super spreader event. what are the people behind you, are they planning to do at this rally? will they wear the mask? will they try to create some distance? >> good morning, victor. good morning, christi. pictures probably can tell you the answer to that maybe more than my words. this is the crowd right at the front of the line. by the way. of people waiting to get in through the security gates and eventually they hope to get in to the rally itself. some of these people have been in line for a week now. that's right. since last saturday. you may notice not a whole lot of masks being worn by anybody. and you may also notice that there's really not a whole lot of social distancing that's taking place. so, this line gives you an indication maybe of what to anticipate for

maybe a faster timeline than what the white house allowed prior to this. >> sarah westwood, for us ington. thank you very much. jake tapper is going to continue this conversation with larry kudlow and they have senator langford, representative clyburn and representative omar on state of the union. watch that at 9:00 eastern right here on cnn. >>> the question is, are black members of the military at greater risk of death or injury than white service members? what cnn found using data from the pentagon. at mercedes-benz, nothing less than world-class service will do. that's why we're expanding your range of choices. many dealers now offer optional pick-up & delivery and at-home maintenance, as well as online shopping with home delivery and special finance arrangements. so, whether you visit your local dealer or prefer the comfort of home you can count on the very highest level of service. get 0% apr financing up to 36 months on most models, and 90-day first-payment deferral on any model. can i find an investment firm with a truly long-term view that's been through multiple market cycle

sarah westwood again. they waited 24 hours for the white house to issue a response saying the president and vice president were never briefed on this intelligence. that alone is a stunning statement. many experts aren't buying it. >> that's right. as was mentioned, the white house not choosing to deal with the actual root of the allegation there. they're not dealing with the subject matter but denying that the specific reporting that the president and the vice president were briefed on that intelligence. the white house statement even clearly said that it does not speak to the merit of the alleged intelligence. they're not denying that the bribes from the russians did take place and the office of the director of national intelligence sided with the white house and said no briefing took place. the intelligence director not denying the underlying allegations. the criticism is more that the white house has been silent on the allegations themselves even though they've spoken out in response to the news stories. by an a and victor. >> nothing from the president who spent the day golfing and tweeting out about
