that is not a great way to do a staff shakeup.'d rather him see a war room, let's have a war room on the opioid crisis, let's have a war room on creating jobs in america in a global economy. such a waste of human resources to have a war room focuses on yourself. >> with all due respect, let me say this. >> go ahead. >> it's just not accurate that there say war room. full disclosure. i talked to this white house pretty regularly and several others regularly. the idea there's been some war room that's been set up to deal with his communications or his staff or to figure this out, that is just not accurate. the people that are saying there's a war room are not connected to this white house. they do not know what's going on in the inside. this white house has been running pretty smoothly the last couple of weeks. >> because he's been out of the country. >> that's not true. i have' been talking to them before then. one thing you recognize, it's okay to bring in new voices. it's okay to bring in older voices i used to have around me and

nbc news confirmed a major staff shakeup.s out, and who might be in again after being out before? the white house setting up a so-called war room with jared kushner advised to lay low after reports he wanted a secret line of communication with the kremlin. all that happening behind us on this cloudy d.c. day. around the world, different storm is brewing. european allies are not thrilled with president trump after his trip abroad and they are not happy he hasn't made a call on a critical climate agreement yet. we have a lot to talk about on this tuesday morning. our team is here covering all of this. kristen welker is down the driveway at the white house. kasie hunt is on capitol hill. the former director of the fbi's office in counter intelligence, frank montoya is also with us. on the set. white house bureau chief for the "washington post," phillip rucker and white house reporter for the associated press, jill colvin. we know the communications director mike dubke is leaving. is this the start of the so-called summer shakeup

what is going on with staff shakeups right now and what's the feeling having just come back from this big foreign trip? >> sure. i would say that the white house does want to be talking about the republican agenda specifically health care, tax reform, things that you've seen the president tweet about. you had just this morning, the ped of the head of the v.a. talking about reform. that said, there is politics behind the scenes. this administration in particular, it is the continued swirl of speculations about staff shakeups, who might be in or out. we can talk about the president actively seeking advice, looking for advice about who to put into position in a staff shakeup that could involve reince priebus. his top economic adviser, other names have been out there. there are si-- these are things that continues to dog the white house. just given the way the president has run this particular administration, factions, divides, it's how he ran his campaign. and it's similar to how he did business, as well. >> i want to get back to voters again. we talk so infrequently about what it's goin

the fact that there is a shakeup coming is not a bad idea.he fact that they're about to make everything worse is the problem. >> how much of a shakeup is it just a perceptions game? even if the messiah himself descended from heaven and became chief of staff if the president doesn't listen what good does it do? >> the problem is donald trump. 70-year-old man not going to change, surround himself with different people does not change the central dynamic of the administration. in a lot of ways the thing that is wrong is about to be magnified by what is about to happen. >> jonathan, i do want to ask you about this tweet from the president apparently wants to do away with the legislative filibuster, what he put out on social media a short time ago, the u.s. senate should switch to 51 swroetvotes immediately and health care and tax cuts approved immediately. dems would do it. both potentially subject to the 51 vote threshold under reconciliation. regardless what's the reaction, jonathan swan, to these problems? >> well, it shows his ignorance of th

guest: that has been the thing about white house shakeups in general. they keep getting leak out that they're going to happen. and then really nothing happens. but i do think they're going to have to do something different in terms of their communications strategy as this russia probe expands and becomes more serious. and they're going to have to have a better and more fine communication strategy in dealing with that. and the news on that front is -- host: robert mueller who is going to be leading that communication staffing up his russia probe. a report from the "wall street journal" noting he's bringing over two of those folks that he's been working with in his current job at a law firm. the team has been assigned office space and a non-script building in washington, home to the justice department, civil rights and requirement and natural resources divisions. their job is to come up with a budget and start that investigation process. but certainly, something that's going to take a very long time. guest: it is. at one point, they didn't have a press co

i want to talk more about the shakeup. what more can you tell us about the departure of white house communications director dubke and what this signals of a further shakeup? he left the president know, he put in his letter of resignation, back on may 18th, but he said he'd stay through this foreign afactory air ffair. though we were talking shakeup before the trip, it's back on, and it's not like dubke woke up this morning and said, hey, i'm out. >> right. the inference is that he is going to train whoever is coming in. based on my reporting, he submitted his letter of resignation on may 18th, before the foreign trip was gei iwas g underway. why did he do it? was it at the request of the president? that remains unanswered at this point in time. we do know that the president is considering some new roles for some people, expanding some profiles here behind the scenes, and he's looking to potentially bring in outsiders, some former campaign staffers, including corey lewandowski and dave bossie. based on my reporting, it is m

that's a shakeup of a kind.one that my sources are actually welcome because they think a more muscular approach on that issue would be helpful, and they also want to compartmentalize that issue from the other activities of the white house. so, that could lead to some people who are currently not within the inner circle in the building being brought back, as well as these kind of fluctuations in people's fortunes that erin has already mentioned. >> as we talk about that war room, erin, one of the other points is lawyers may be coming in to help vet tweets that the president sends out, but the latest one three hours ago, "british prime minister may was very angry the info the uk gave the u.s. about manchester was leaked. gave me full details." so talks about the anger of may, basically also confirming the leaked information was accurate, the accuracy of this leaked information really upset our best ally. so do you really think that lawyers are going to be brought in to vet tweets? >> that is another thing i will b

the one senior administration official is told "fox news" reports of a massive shakeup are overblownne thing that is clear the president is considering big changes in the white house press room. watch this. >> we don't have press conferences. >> you don't mean that. >> we just don't have them unless i have one every two weeks that i do myself, we don't have them. i think it's a good idea. kennedy: such a good idea. the staffers may be staying that the press briefings may be going through that may bring in ed henry "fox news" correspondent and author of the fantastic look on jackie robinson called 42 fates one of the greatest bruins to ever live. >> still is. kennedy: thank you i appreciate it. >> the presence of the ratings for the briefings are huge. kennedy: they are. the only time in modern memory i remember people gathering around the screen for white house press briefing. you have been through many demonstrations do you really think he's going to sacrifice the daily briefing? >> no, i don't in the end. makes him feel good and it makes a space feel good because let me say this. i

but the shadow of that investigation and nearly daily staff shakeup rumors loom large.e begin tonight with hans nichols at the white house. >> president donald trump returning home late last night and raising no time to go on offense this morning. it is my opinion that many of the leaks, he says, coming out of the white house are fabricated lies made up by the fake news media. the white house is preparing a war room to push back on the russia investigations which have his son-in-law and senior adviser as a focus as first reported by nbc news. "the washington post" on friday saying kushner asked the russian ambassador for a secret communications channel in december. kushner's lawyers saying he's willing to talk with investigators. homeland security secretary john kelly insisting kushner did nothing wrong with russia. >> i don't see any big issue here relative to jared. i think any time you can open lines of communication with anyone, whether they're good friends or not so good friends, is a smart thing to do. >> reporter: former director of national intelligence james cl

is there a sense that the president needs to have a shakeup inside the white house?orking well? >> it's hard to tell on any given day. you saw the press conference today with sean spicer. that did not go well. especially on the russia stuff, on the russia front, there's this avalanche of you can't come home from europe to this kind of news and think things are going well. i mean maggie knows these guys incredibly well and i think we're all finding they're having difficulty managing this and difficulty absorbing these developments that seem to happen aev other day now. >> within the last hour said this is the personality of the president. this is how he ran his company. it's obviously a very different thing when you're the most powerful person on the planet. what do you hear? >> i thinking there are a kuchel of things. i think there are people who are there and are in a tough spot and are there because they believe in the president and want to work for him. i think someone like hicks had essentially killed herself throughout the campaign and did a very good job for hi

and rumors of staff shakeups. the assumption should be that the staff is going to remain as it is now, whether or not sean spicer might be out as press secretary has been floated for weeks and weeks. it has not happened. i think that this is sort of reflective of the environment that he likes to work in. he likes the chaotic uncertainty in the workplace, and these rumors are going to continue. is that my expectation the white house is going to stay the way it has been until something changes. you have to take each rumor with a grain of salt, given that none of them have led to a staff shakeup so far. virginia. lorton, go ahead, greg. caller: just a couple of quick points. -- ifing is, with comey the president does not like him, he can fire him. that is the way it is. the way he responded to the hillary clinton investigation, he should have been fired. secondly, the president has the power to decide -- that is part of the constitution. as thesefar investigations go with russian collusion, can we really say this cam

. >> i have been told repeatedly, chris, there's not going to be a staff shakeup this week. having said that, there has been so much scrutiny and speculation surrounding sean spicer's job and what we know was this. we know he wasn't happy about the messaging around the announcement he was fired and the fbi director. he felt like it was botched. sean spicer and other communication officials were a part of that process. we know that there has been some internal blow back, but, again, chris, i keep going back to this trip. at the end of the week, this is a chance from the perspective of the president to reset a little bit potentially. is he blowing off. we have heard this line before from the white house, that he's looking at his staff and taking a hard look whether or not he wants noouf some of the chess pieces around he continues to fume behind the scenes and move on. the question is, will it be the same case this time around. but, again, i continue to be told by officials here that it is very unlikely that you're going to see a big shakeup, particularly among one of his top
