white house chief of staff and it's a reasonable question. he has had two white house chiefs of staff and neither one of them managed to get a single day's work done by the trump white house that was not chaotic every minute of the day. so as we saw in the nixon white house as the prosecutor gets closer to the president, the president ges more and more desperate and unhinged. that means in the trump white house we get days like today. the other thing we got today amid the big shakeup of personnel, is the guarantee that things will get worse in the trump white house on april 9th. and that guarantee comes in the person of john bolton, who will be the president's closest adviser on national security issues. the national security advisor has an advantage over the secretary of state, secretary of defense, director of the cia, that is that the national security advisor's office is located in the west wing of the white house, always steps away from the president. the national security advisor always gets the last word with the president after the cabinet members have left a meeting and are in their cars on the way back to their departments, the national security advi

has no discipline himself and imposes no discipline on anyone else working in the chaos white house. the trump white house has staffers who break the law and get caught and nothing happens to them. it has a communications director who cowrote hugely complimentary white house statements about her boyfriend after her boyfriend was exposed as having been accused of domestic violence by both of his previous wives. it has a chief of staff who bombastically and angrily lied about a black woman member of congress, got caught in those lies, and refused to apologize for those lies. and after lying about congresswoman frederica wilson, said he had nothing to apologize for, and no member of the white house staff has ever been caught publicly lying more wildly, more recklessly than john kelly did in that case. but it's the trump white house, and working in the trump white house means never having to say you're sorry. not for lying. not for lying about a woman. not for lying about a black woman member of congress. and so from the top down, from donald trump through john kelly and his predecessor reince pri

my own personal experience with her dates back to president-elect trump's visit to the white house two days after the election in november of 2016. she was one of the few staffers to travel with mr. trump to the white house at that time. she met with our staff in the white house to begin planning the transition process and she engaged in that process seriously. so she is somebody who i think did understand -- she's one of the few in the trump administration who i do think understands how important and how special of an opportunity it is to serve in the white house, but i do think it's fair to describe her as somebody who is loyal to a fault. >> barbara mcquad, she was testifying under oath when she said she told lies for the president. so she was faced with committing a crime in that answer or telling her version of that truth. i want to get your lawyer view of what you're seeing here. if you're representing hope hicks, if you're her lawyer, is this the point or might it even be sooner where you're advising her to quit that job? that it is actually legally dangerous for her to remain i

white house. the frenzy associated with the first few weeks of covering the trump white house, we are blasting every tweet onto the air without really knowing what was happening. even building new software to make sure the tweets were on tv faster. really crazy. we are starting to stabilize a little bit in the white house. we realized a lot of this is newness and inexperience. not a deliberate plot to destabilize the entire country. on the congress front, i was talking to our professional correspondent the other day and she was talking about how frustrating it is covering congress right now because republican leadership is so president, athis least in more public forums. it comes back to the tweeting, too. in a very strange way, the easiest thing is to say, i did not see the tweet. at their presidential statement the end every third one does have a policy implication. you're hearing that from the speaker of the house. that is challenging. in the terms of the rest of washington, one of the most interesting places right now is that judiciary. for the people who cover the supreme court, it sort of feel

donald trump is who he is and he was going to run the white house like the 26th floor of trump tower. he was not going to empower anyone in the traditional way as white house chief. host: at that lunch with the former chief when rights previous was given advice -- reince priebus was given advice come he was also paid a visit by barack obama. what did the president tell him? guest: barack obama walked in the middle of this meeting. everybody stood up and he greeted them. obama looked up at his former chiefs who were all there. and said,to priebus you know, everyone of these guys told me things that pissed me off. they weren't always right and sometimes i was right. that's the most important thing that a chief of staff can do. tell a president not what he wants to hear but needs to hear. i hope you will do that for president trump he said. and then he departed. over the next six months, i'm afraid that priebus did not really distinguish himself at speaking hard truce to donald trump. earlier said if i was donald trump's chief of staff i would've smashed his phone. i would've prevented h

the greatest use, and ithink you is true not just of the trump white house buts theobama white house when i would go to press briefings. the greatest use is to create a public record what the white house is position is on a given subject. i think it is actually incrediblyimportant because when everything distill and we find out ether what the real truth is or we are at the point where there is a decision that needs to be made. we can compare that to what was said when we asked the question. i think it is important.there have been i loft ties in the white house where it hasturned out that statements that are made from that podium arejust simply not true based on facts we have learned. it is important for the public to know we are doing that kind of due diligence. think it is in dy and age pes shall willing now whether there are questions about what is truth, what is true, what is false. it is easier to show our work when it comings to the truthby saying here is whats with said on this day. here is what we know now. and think when we can show readers and viewers that record it really m

>> it has been an exhausting time for most people inside of the trump white house. reas reince priebus, on and on of names that haven't lasted. hope hicks working at candidate trump's side. there has been so much controversy, so much scandal in this white house, it's the least surprising news of the week in some respects. >> all right, i want to read you part of a politico article where this leaves the president, quote with hope hicks leaving the white house, there's no metaphorical family, no core group of aides who have brought the ringer together, come out beat and bound forever, trusting each other, trusting the president and having him trust them. without hope hicks, he really is among strangers. >> he is. and, you know -- >> he has said he looks at hope like a daughter. she also fits the role, the mold that president trump loves. >> she does. the problem with this is, generalized white house chaos, not that it wasn't chaotic before, but it's going to be more so. i think we're getting an indication of this just today. we're expecting president trump later today

white houses. some of this changed when john kelly came in and implemented new discipline, but -- and i never covered the obama white house in the way i'm covering president trump's white house. but you could be in the west wing or you could be in the upper press having a meeting, and it would not be uncommon for hope hicks to see you and say oh, hi, ashley, hi, phil. i think the president is free in the oval office if you want to stop in and say hello. and that happened to a number of people. i was talking to someone and they said outside of the oval you're likely to see a preacher, an elephant and like a republican member of congress waiting to see the president. in the obama white house i remember any little story i was doing, you know, they had to know what sorts of questions do you think you'll be asking, and what is the topic, and do you have an understanding if this will run on the front page. it's very managed, and the trump white house is not like that. you also have a sense of what the president is thinking, because his tweets are what he's thinking in that moment. i don't buy the theory he's sort of strategically turning everyone's attention away, cove

ronnie jackson, who trump has nominated to replace shulkin is a u.s. navy admiral who was appointed white house physician back in 2013. he briefed reporters on trump's first physical exam has president. the president's overall health is excellent. the president is currently very healthy and he will remain so for the duration of his presidency. he's very ar particular ewe a lat when he speaks to me. i've never known himself to repeat himself around me. >> how a guy who eats mcdonald's and all those diet cokes and never exercises is in as good of shape as you say he's in. >> it's called genetics. i don't know. some people have great genes. i tell the president if he had a healthier diet over the last 20 years, he could live to be 200 years old. >> according to the associated press, jackson's name was not among the roughly two dozen candidates the white house has been reviewing. some on capitol hill are concerned about jackson's qualifications, given his lack of experience running large organizations. national political reporter for axis jonathan swan tweeted last night, one immediate point, it's

donald trump -- it also points to the turmoil in this white house, donald trump wants -- oversaw a reality show, where a key cast member left every week. that's happening again in the west wing it appears. it's a never ending stream of departures. moral has never been lower, it's seen as another adult in the room leaving, and a sense that a west wing in disarray and always under the shadow of the mueller probe. >> ashley, you and i both know people directly and anecdotally, who do not want to serve in this white house, who have taken a pass on this white house, and yet there was the president today saying that everyone wants a piece of the oval office. how do you reconcile those two? >> well, i think you can sort of look at that if you want to try to reconcile them, in theory and in practice, everyone does want a piece of the oval office. it's normally a great line on your resume to work in the white house, it's an honor to serve your country. does everyone want a piece of this oval office? this west wing? not necessarily. as you mentioned, there's a number of people who have sort of been

>> yes. >> always appreciate you being part of our broadcast. >>> the trump white house offered mixednals today about whether v.a. secretary dr. david shulkin has a future in this administration. this comes after the ceo of news >>> the trump white house offered mixed signals today about whether v.a. secretary dr. david shulkin has a future in this administration. this comes after the ceo of news max and trump confidante christopher ruddy cast doubt about shulkin's long-term status with the administration. >> he did say that he's expecting to make one or two major changes to his government very soon, and that's going to be it. now, other white house sources, not the president, tell me the veterans affairs secretary david shulkin is likely to depart the cabinet very soon. >> fast forward to the briefing this afternoon, deputy press secretary said he had no person el -- personnel announcements to make. >> earlier on this very network, drina mitchell spoke with olsen about the high turnover in the administration. >> i think everyone would agree there is chaos and confusion. government is

we start with the new tough talk and action from the trump white house on russia. on announcing just a few hours ago it's imposing new

white house is to separate the interesting from the important. i think we are starting to figure out how to do that at the white house. the first few weeks of covering the trump white house -- we were blasting every tweet onto the air without knowing what is happening. even building new software to make sure that the tweets are on tv faster. it is crazy. we are starting to stabilize a little bit in the white house, and we realized that there is this eunice and inexperience and to some deliberate plot destabilize the entire country. on the congress front, i was --king to our correspondent and she was talking about how frustrating it is covering congress right now because republican leadership is so hamstrung by the president, at least in more public forums. it comes back to the tweeting. way, it is easy to say i did not see the tweet, but there are presidential statements and every third one has a policy implication and your hearing that from the speaker of the house. that is a big challenge. as a think in terms of the rest of washington, one of the most interesting places is the judiciary. i'm of the people who cover the supreme court for us feel like it is y

been watching i believe this statement is an attempt to gloss over the fact that donald trump came into the white house completely unprepared for the job this has been a year mainly of chaos and trial and error of course there were some successes for trump from the wrist public and perspective such as the new tax law but generally this white house resembles more a giant reality t.v. show than the government of the most powerful nation on earth let's remember when trump came into office he said he knew the best people he would have the best people he didn't have the best people and apparently he still doesn't have the best people and i think the bottom line is most of the chaos that we've seen is not even caused by the people around trump it's the man in the oval office office who's causing most of the chaos and it doesn't you know throw the curveball at you the condition of the state department foggy bottom as it's known in washington i mean we've we've we've heard that there have been senior level diplomats leaving in droves since mr tillerson became secretary of state so i mean his tenure there you k

don't know what they were and she was a very valuable person to president trump she was known to be the one in the white house who understood him best and who was able she was called trump's translator namely she understood what he wanted better than anyone else and she could explain that to the white house staff she will be missed and it said that you know trump wasn't happy about the white lies comment and that during that hearing and if that wasn't you know enough drama and one day was within the president's administration and his in a circle we have him once again insulting attorney general jeff sessions on twitter calling him disgraceful. that is a very damaging charge this is not the first time he's gone after mr sessions it turns out that this president turns on a dime he can be your best friend one minute and the next day he wants to dump you want to get rid of you that's why those positions in the white house circulate so much they're not very secure and the staff doesn't stay very long he's a very temperamental person one day he loves you the next they want to get rid of you it's a very difficult pe

white house press corp. seems to methologize hope hicks as an anchor in the rough sea of the trump white house. >> that's a good question. i don't have an answer. she's young, glamorous, relatively friendly. the couple times i've spoken to her, she was more pleasant than other people in the trump administration. i think it's possible, lawrence, to some extent, she did mitigate, at least temporarily some of trump's worst instincts but we see a tendency towards methology in the trump administration. we saw it with john kelly. so i think there's a tenancy in the press corp. that covers the white house to see the people in the white house as, you know, these heroic figures in various ways when there's very little evidence to confirm that at all. >> in your experience with the people at the white house, do people like hope hicks realize before the age of 30 she has written the first line of her obituary and it is not a good one? >> i don't know if that's true. i think she has time to make a name for herself in some more flattering light. but it's very possible this will be what she's remembered for p it's not a good

until then, what is it like to run the communications wings of the trump white house. joining me, anthony scaramucci is back. >> i didn't think i was going to get a picture up there, then you showed me at the end. i don't know what it's luke's to run's communications department. i was only there for 11 days. i don't have regrets abouting leaving, i was fired. i put a whole communications plan together that was released -- somebody leaked it and put it up on the internet it was a nine-page plan. i hope that a lot of stuff i had in that plan -- the number one thing is to keep the president on message. kennedy: why have there been so many communications directors in a short period of time. sca>> in my case i was caught oa story i thought was off the record. and i used a couple of poor words, curse word, so general kelly decided he was going to exercise some level of authority by firing me instantaneously over talking a few curls words. kennedy: was that unfair? >> i think most of people know it's unfair. i took it like a gentleman and i took it like a je gentleman. but wh

kushner and his wife, the president's daughter, ivanka trump, have remain at the white house despite at times saying they never should have come to the white house and should leave. yet aides also noted that mr. trump has told the couple that they should keep serving in their roles even as he has privately asked mr. kelly for his help in moving them out. it's like hunger games. >> it's a little like the "hunger games". i don't even know what the right analogy is. it's "the hunger games" with cannibalism involved in it. i was thinking more reptiles. it's like scorpions in a really wet sock. the thing is, these -- brian, you've covered washington for a long time and you know personnel is policy. to some extent there's a feedback loop. when personnel is working right, you get good feedback. this presidency, the person and he will the policy have always been kind of messed up. so most of these, of the existing white house staff, the senior ones who are still there, there have been simmering grievances against them since the very beginning and no two more so that jared kushner and ivanka t

report on trump losing hope perhaps no one else was as close to president trump her departure came as a surprise to most in the white house hope akes had a seemingly untouchable role in the west wing as trump's communications director and one of his longest serving advisers she was well known to have the ear of the president he never publicly criticized her as he's been known to do with other advisers as the news broke trumpet her a fun farewell hope is outstanding and has done great work for the last three years she is a smart and thoughtful as they come a truly great person i will miss having her by my side. the twenty nine year old former fashion model worked with a trump on her clothing line six years ago but she had no experience in politics when donald trump tapped her to serve on his campaign higgs was trump's fourth communications director but unlike her predecessors she kept a very low profile her sudden exit comes just a day after she testified before a congressional panel probing russian meddling in the twenty six thousand presidential election during the nine hour testimony hicks refused to answer certain ques

these are the darkest days, as you report, of the trump white house but only the darkest days house butnly the darkest days so far and we've seen the days there can always get darker. >> well, that's what what was so striking. in our story we outline sort of a tremendous level of chaos and tumult but in talking to these aides, one of them said to us, i don't think this has bottomed out yet, we think it's going to get worse before it starts to stabilize. >> for jessica chambers, what do we expect the donald trump reaction to be to sam nunberg ears turn in the spotlight tonight? >> already we heard the white house reacting with a little bit of shock considering how long he's been outside of trump world and the trump circle. but to speak to ashley's point about this, it seems like there's been pendulum swings with president trump. you'll see him swing very far to the left and see him swing very far to the right with these mood swings. you're also hearing from people close to the president that there's a method to this madness, right, that he likes this kind of competition and he likes the

it is now easy to imagine some of the titles of the books that will be written about the trump white house days of donald trump will surely be one of those titles. and that's what "the washington post" is calling the days we are living through right now. the most commonly used word to describe the trump white house in the responsible news media is chaos. "the washington post" has called it pure madness. after tiring of doing something that no president before him has ever done, threatening nuclear war with north korea, president trump has chosen to threaten a trade war instead, but not a trade war with north korea. a trade war with canada, our most reliable ally in history and our most important and honest trading partner in history. the president has also threatened a trade war with every other country that produces steel or aluminum. those countries have threatened their own retaliations against their exports, especially the exports that come from paul ryan and mitch mcconnell's states, which caused paul ryan to beg the president not to go through with his plan for a trade war. ashley pa

trump, yore wrong on something. and by the way, what happened in the white house with the various departures and most recently cohn isald trump is keeping no one around who does not align themselves with his ideas and rhetoric, and thathe problem, cohn disagreed th the tariffs and he is sort of the last moderate voice that was in the white house. now that he's gone, you can expect everyone else to stay in line. and when they stop, they will also disappear. so, you know, as part of this chaotic white house, they've had an awfully difficult time attracting experienced good people and keeping them, and this is the reason you see all these relatively y and inexperienced people in these key positions. 31-year-olds and 25-year-olds, you know, running the show, because they say, years -- yes s sir, whatever you. say i don't think trump can do anything to alienate his base. it's what happened with the -- happens with the rest that matters. ieni agree with cath line l on one thing. two people not involved in thecine decision kim mattis and the joint chiefs. if you can make the decision not relying on the judgment of these two

trump's efforts. jared kushner's ties to banks under scrutiny. the white house denies trump berated hope hicks. ll those headlines on the screen there. that's just from the last few hours. how can this white house get anything done? >> it's dizzying, don, and as you know, this isn't just today, this is every day. and i talked to your producers this morning. we talk about what we're talking about tonight. by late afternoon, it's a completely different set of issues. you know, working in the white house, i call it the human microwave under normal circumstances. and so i just want to echo something maggie tweeted out, the surprise should not be that anyone's leaving, the surprise is that anyone's staying. but in this case, hope hicks, it is a big deal for everybody. because for a lot of reasons, i mean, one is that she's so close to trump. two, everyone assumed she would be there for most of the ride, anyway. and she and his former personal assistant keith schiller were such security blankets for him, that people are worried what's going to happen in a pretty chaotic white house and executive with

future in the future what we hear a lot of people hope james how do you explain the why the white house the trump white house is so we've been cutting programs white before well you know my first thought would be that they're trying to cut costs but then you look at other issues in other initiatives that they have passed on opportunities to cut costs and so that explanation kind of falls away. i think it kind of goes back to president drum's own words in saying that he wants to focus on america first and when you think about that kind of inward looking mentality i think that doesn't really make america stronger i think in many ways it actually makes as we what you isn't a. first to have a program like this where not only are your sitting americans out to the world but you're also inviting non americans to come to the u.s. right absolutely but it's soft power i mean could you imagine it christine spending a year abroad like this if you didn't get a fulbright i mean would it be something that you could just you know plan and do easily so i could definitely not imagine going to the u.s. and pursuing

trade organization rules that was because she said they weren't buying the reason given by the trump white house that essentially this was an issue of national security given relationships with the u.s. when it comes to security itself. the second element of the approach would be to try and otect european steel producers from steel products that might be diverted from the.s. into europe by trying to erect their own safeguard measures and the third, targeting specific u.s. products. therwas a detailed list that was sent around to european heads of state and government earlier this week. maelstrom would not comment on the specific details but they do include food and drink, agricultural sels specific steel products. that totals around 2.8 billion euros, around $3.5 billion and she said that was equivalent to the economic damage she eected the europeans to absorb from these steel and aluminum tariff none of it concrete yet but she did say that any response the europeans did make would be firm and proportionate and indeed unlike the u.s. she said, by the book. for "nightly business report" i'm bill
