. >>> for more on robert mueller's russia probe, let's bring in steven nelson, a white house reporter for the washington examiner. thank you very much for talking to us. so pretty powerful words coming from a federal judge. i mean, does mueller have unfettered power the way that judge ellis describes it? >> well, it would appear to an outsider, yes, but this judge is a bit of a character. i've been in his courtroom before. and what he says isn't always -- when he uses exciting words to describe a case, it doesn't always result in an exciting ruling. i was in his courtroom for a hearing about the nsa over internet surveillance, he lectured the attorneys on both sides, he questioned the seriousness of the secret foreign intelligence surveillance court saying there was no one arguing the counterpoint but then his ultimate ruling was less excited. we don't know yet how this will factor in how he decides various things in the case. julie: sounds like he should have a tv show. judge ellis goes as far as accusing mueller of using criminal cases to pressure trump's allies to turn against him.

. >> elizabeth: let's bring in steven nelson, white house correspondent for the washington examiner,ines coming out of the white house saturday. certainly not a boring saturday. i want to start with north korea. we had greg's report there and we saw the president tweeting in part, which allison barber has, i don't need to repeat it entirely. he talked even if the meeting were reinstated, holding it on june 12th would be impossible given the amount of time and amount of planning needed, wrong again. essaying stand back, -- he's saying stand back, let me do what i need to do. i'm curious what you're hearing about the possibility of the june 12th summit and is the white house prepared? >> the quote that president trump said was fake apparently was real. there's so many twists and turns to this thing, it's hard to keep up. apparently there's a pre-advanced team going over to prepare for the june 12th summit, should it actually happen. the white house officials last week said that the last time we did this, the week previously, the north koreans never showed up. we don't know how this wil

ryan noble, cnn at the white house. >> and steven erlanger joins us now from brussels. he is "the new york times" chief diplomatic correspondent in europe. good to have you with us. >> thanks, rosemary. >> so as we saw in president trump's tweet sunday, he is demanding his own justice department examine whether it or perhaps the fbi spied on the trump campaign for political reasons. what does that signal to you? and what will likely come of all this, do you think? >> well, it signals to me a coming constitutional clash or crisis, which is what a lot of people have worried about for some time which is that the president is opening himself up again to charges that he is trying to obstruct justice or pressure the justice department into ending its inquiry into the behavior of his campaign, and that has now been broadened to according to a story in our newspaper. there were officials from the middle east, qatar and saudi arabia who also approached mr. trump's son during the campaign, offering various kinds of help. now help from a foreign country is illegal, and paethat's p

steven, i want to start with you tonight. this comment from kelly sadler, a white house official on a conference call with congressional press secretaries, he's dying anyway, about senator john mccain, someone who served this country for so very long. it's indefensible. i've had policy disagreements with john mccain. but this guy is one of the true great american heroes of our time. it's too bad this got out. i'm sure kelly didn't mean what she said. it is true that john mccain did cast the vote that would have led to the repeal of obamacare. i think he was mistaken in doing that. there are some hard feelings about that. one or two republicans voted no. he's a great american hero, and his -- the truth is, his opinion on these issues of -- interrogation are important because he went through that in vietnam. >> so should the white house just say, i'm sorry? >> absolutely. >> they haven't. >> they should. >> yeah. >> i agree with parts of what steven just said, they -- yes, they should apologize as you just said, but it is -- it is beyond disgraceful, john mccain is a

both are white house aides there they are right now as well as treasury secretary steven can. a lot of tweeting about this from his really official saying what a great day for israel but of course there's been a lot of opposition to this move from the global community not to mention the palestinians who have been in force all day. but we have got reporters covering developments across the region first we can go to our tease middle east correspondent paul this leader who's our it side that's building the new u.s. embassy in. paul it's all going on there we just saw some pictures of the opening ceremony what do we expect what is happening there today. and i'm standing just in front of the new science of the american embassy and as you can well imagine the atmosphere is that any historic event is taking place but where i'm standing too there are mixed reactions we have protesters who have gathered in front of the embassy and tromp they shouting slogans and holding up posters calling. on trying to resign and criticizing the occupation at the same time that many israelis have turne

white house economic adviser larry kudlow is denying any rift between treasury secretary steven mnuchinresident trump's trade advisor peter navarro. kudlow told reporters that the president is "involved in every decision." prime minister benjamin netanyahu said israel's security services havece prevented terrorist attacks in more than 30 countries, including a plot to shoot down an aircraft. he spoke in jerusalem today alongside panama's secretary. a commonahu: we have battle to fight the sponsors, and we are doing it in the middle east, but it encompasses today the entire world, and we stand ready to cooperate. mark: israel has warned it will not tolerate iran establishing a military presence on its doorstep. iran is fighting alongside syrian president bashar al-assad in that country's civil war. secretary of state michael pompeo met

steven mnuchin? >> that is an excellent point. you are getting inherent conflict within the white house.here are different views on trade in general within the white house. the seven people who went to china representing the united states, a couple are on one extreme in terms of their hawkishness towards china whereas secretary mnuchin is the opposite. who is meeting and who is controlling what will be important. secretary mnuchin and the treasury department oversees the investment restrictions, he will likely have some say about that and how those look. shery: if you zoom out of the u.s. and china relationship, we have nafta and the steel and aluminum tariffs against u.s. allies. bank of america merrill lynch, someone said nafta could be a good guideline on how to negotiate with the chinese. take a listen. >> once donald trump it's a deal with canada and mexico, i think that would increase his leverage. with china. given he has a deal with australia and japan, south korea, he has an agreement with half of the tpp countries. that could pave the way for u.s.. sense, there has been an over

ever trade war with china, it is now to onelly over according white house hardliner who went on npr to undercut the treasury secretary stevennuchin. he called his earlier comments about putting the trade war on hold an unfortunate soundbite. clarifying, there is still a dispute. >> what we are having with china is a trade dispute plain and simple. a whole range of unfair trade practices, they run up $370 billion trade surplus with us which cost us over one million factory jobs in the year. we lost a long time ago. >> 20 us now is marty. cringe. we know a lot of people have different decisions. the question is what to the chinese think of this and who ultimately should they be listening to? >> there is every indication the chinese are none too pleased about the peter navarro comment and scaling back steve mnuchin's comments. frankly, i do not think anyone really knows what to expect. they are on their way to china and there is a team already setting the stage for the talks. the wall street journal reported that these talks may not even happen because the chinese are .old set with his comments >> give us the lay of the land i

white house trade advisor peter navarro told national public radio that treasury secretary steven mnuchineen the us and china as a "trade war" was an "unfortunate soundbite." infighting, and it seems disagreement with the house over this issue of china and trade. the dispute may not just this issue of china and trade. the dispute may notjust be on the international level what with the white house as well. we seen these back and forth contradictory kind of claims coming from the white house and the trump administration which has left a lot of people wondering, are we heading towards a trade war orare are we heading towards a trade war or are we not? the most concrete development on thatcher mckim on tuesday with the white house announced that it was moving ahead with plans to impose new tariffs or to at least draw up plans to impose new tariffs on chinese goods. that is prompting the chinese to say, if those, document we will retaliate and to call the us credibility into question, which may be of some concern to wilbur ross as he heads to china this weekend to conduct trading initiations t

on iran, the white house says the president, quote, underscored his commit ton to ensure that iran never acquires a nuclear weapon. joining me is stevenent headlines about gina haspel. your thoughts on what this might mean? >> gina haspel has requested on seeking to have her name withdrawn, and it is likely to be a blow to the cia's efforts to be the premier intelligence agency and to work on these issues specifically. she is an insider. obviously has had had some problems in the past, her allegations of overseeing torture in indonesia, but the professionals in the intelligence community and specifically at the cia, would prefer one of their own, as opposed to somebody else who might politicize the intelligence. that's something that i think everybody is concerned about with this administration, and the politicization of bowl gens, especially when it comes to the iran nuclear deal. >> as we move to that in earnest now, that's in question, because the president has said consistently that it's a bad deal. as you know, the british foreign secretary boris johnson is flying to washington for fo four days, as well as the national security d
