joining me from west palm beach. kelly, that was one piece of the president's saez time. when asked about ivanka, who served not only as first daughter, in her house of a private e-mail account in 2017, the earlier part when she became a federal official and the president was offensive. this stands out starkly because of how critical he's been about hillary clinton. there was a specific server in the clinton home that had been set up for president clinton when he left office and hillary clinton according to the fbi had some classified e-mails that were transmitted. we don't have information that suggest ivanka trump was using her e-mail to transmit anything that was classified. if you're a government official using a personal or private e-mail accounts, the red flag has been during that time counciled the area. the president was defensive about his daughter. here's what the president said about ivanka and her e-mail use. okay, i'm told we don't have the sound bite. he made the distinction she didn't dleelete and it wasn't classified. those were the issues there. that will

we are told he just arrived at the trump international golf course here in west palm beach. he has a clear schedule. ron makes a smart point. there is no lessons learned or a do-over going forward. it is full steam ahead, but with many different equations. the first is the make up of congress. the president is about to enter into a new political order in washington. you do not get the sense that he knows what is coming or know what is to expect, but he is trying to make that immigration argument again by wrapping the judiciary into it. i was struck that he is saying that judges on the appellate and federal bench are making military lives unsafe, making law enforcement unsafe. the president sent down the military officials to the border. the president is drawing in the judiciary more than he has before. one thing he has not done is near the halftime mark of his presidency, he never tried to create a congressional solution or a law, if you will. the president can certainly do and persuade both sides to get an immigration law or a fix in the works. republicans have controlled b

he's playing a round of golf here in west palm beach with jack nicholas and some family members. but they have not responded at all to this report, which is now almost 24 hours old about the fact that the president indeed wanted to prosecute his former rivals. this is something that of course if the president does not like a story or agree with it, they often push back. so the reality is they know it's true because the president has been talking about this throughout. as pamela knows as well, this was not just a one-off asking don mcgahn for a legal opinion and then moving on when he said, no, that's a bad idea, he has in fact been fixated, the president has, on the idea of prosecuting or going after his rivalsseve. l several times an anchor from fox news has suggested a special counsel looking into something of the clinton organization or campaign. the president seized upon that. brooke, what this is all about is this -- it's about having more investigations, more special counsels involved, which could obfuscate the actual special counsel's investigation and the russia investiga

let's bring in cnn senior white house correspondent jeff zeleny in west palm beach, near where presidenthe holiday weekend. jeff, has the white house responded to the report? this is one that is congressionally backed, federally mandated to have the report, it has happened before in years past, but now how is the white house responding to this one? >> reporter: well, good morning, fredricka. this is a product of the trump administration. some 13 federal agencies come together to produce the report. in effect, it is a product of the white house, of the trump administration, but of course it is at odds with the president's policies as you said. the president has been utterly silent about this report. whenever he wants to speak about something, he certainly finds a way to do it, but he has been quiet about this entirely. there was a statement from the white house yesterday that said it is largely based on a scenario, worst case scenario, and it started under the obama administration, so they want to give some more time if you will to have a better sense of this. the reality is the evidence

president trump is spending this thanksgiving eve on the lakes in west palm beach but not before thanking saudi arabia for lower oil prices. his thanks are misplaced, not factual and politically more fuel for a fiery bipartisan back lash for his refusal to hold the saudi royals to account for the brutal murder and disappearance of jamal khashoggi. >> it really is just stunning. also, this morning, a significant new report on a campaign promise that the president's own people had to stop him from keeping. we'll explain. cnn and the "new york times" are reporting that the president tried to order the justice department multiple times to investigate and prosecute his opponent in the 2016 election. hillary clinton -- that is where we begin. let's go to the justice department. it's not just stunning, it is just really unprecedented. you don't do that. you don't tell the justice department to go after your political foes. >> according to our reporting, his then white house counsel was really the one who stopped him saying this is not a good idea according to the "new york times." mcgahn had a m

sarah westwood, cnn, west palm beach, florida. >> let's talk more about this now with peter matthews via skype with us this hour. peter, pleasure to have you. >> it's a pleasure to be here, george. >> let's start with what an incoming mexico president is now saying, keeping in mind this new administration doesn't take control until december 1st. so do you see this denial at face value for what it is or could this simply be a way of kicking the can until that government officially takes control? >> i think it's a way of delaying a bit until the government takes control. and the issue is really critical because until now the united states had no questions about following our own law, which allows asylum seekers to apply for it when they arrive at the united states border. and a designated port of entry could be anywhere on the border and the government has to accept an application or interview. eventually only 10% are given the actual right to have asylum, so it's quite a rigorous process that's been working, and now trump wants to put it on the mexican government to keep the asylum se

correspondent kevin corke reports from west palm beach with the president just touched down on why venezuelaow? >> it would be the strongest signal yet that the trump administration is willing to target the oil rich but faltering south american countr country. "the washington post" citing unnamed sources assess the trump administration is prepared to add venezuela to its list of state sponsors of terrorism, a designation reserved for governments accused of repeatedly providing support of international terrorism and includes iran, north korea, sudan, and syria. if to hit the renegade nicolas maduro regime with one of its most powerful tools. in a letter, secretary of state mike pompeo is urged to protect the american homeland and our people from the venezuelan dictatorship's egregious support for terrorism and narco trafficking. citing the ongoing nature of the discussion white house officials refused to say whether or not the designation was a foregone conclusion. a spokesman noted the administration will consider it scalable options to pressure the maduro regime to restore democracy in vene

phil keating has been tracking all this in west palm beach, florida. senator nelson saying he is -- it's not a defeat but a passing of the baton if you will. >> yeah, he still has a couple months to serve out his term in washington and he will do that as well. after nearly two weeks of counting and recounting of votes by machine and by hand, it is all now finally over for the state of florida. it is done. all the left is tuesday morning in tallahassee and the numbers are actually made truly official when are certified. another lesson of senator nelson's statement. this is the first video taped confession of his long political career. >> i was not at tory sms race, but i still wish to strongly reaffirm the cause for which we fought a public office is a public trust. >> republican governor rick scott will now be headed to washington. he released this statement appeared a couple hours ago i just spoke with senator bill nelson who graciously conceded in a thank tim for his years of public service. the victory would not be possible without the hard work of

now, the president returned this evening from west palm beach, florida, to the white house and has notthis forthcoming book, but as we know, ana, the president typically tweet about the, books that are written about him. >> joining us now patrick healy and david drucker. as sara just mentioned, up west quotes that we've learned coming out of the book saying the mueller probe makes his base stronger. is he right? >> i think he is right, and i don't know that it really matters. if you look at what happens in the mid-term elections, the president owes base was as strong as ever, we saw elevated turnout in part because of the president's base and republicans generally responded to his call to turn out because it was such a crucial election, to treat it as though he was on the ballot and it still wasn't enough. 2020 is going to be a whole different ball game the turnout universe will still be bigger than the mid-term election, but president is so focused on his base, ana, that's not where he needs to be heading into what is going to be a tough re-election when he may not have the luxury of

since then he's been spending time at his golf course here in west palm beach, florida, the trump international golf club. he's playing some golf presumably on a pretty nice day here in florida. it's a little overcast and cloudy. all of his family will gather at the mar-a-lago. they'll have dinner there this evening, meeting with family and donors and friends who are also members of his club. >> jeff zeleny, thank you. let's get some perspective of what some of what jeff was just rath reporter. joining me, bob baer, a senior national intelligence analyst. thanks for joining me on this holiday. let me begin with the saudi foreign minister using the report. >> i can't assess it. what we've heard is that the cia report is not what people say it is. >> reporter: that's a pretty extraordinary breach of authority, murdering somebody inside a saudi consulate. >> absolutely, yes. but unfortunately these things -- mistakes like this happen with other governments. >> trump says that this, despite the cia's high confidence that mbs was indeed involved. bob, your reaction to that. >> well, the central inte

arthel: bryan llenas following all of this from west palm beach, florida, near the president's mar-a-lagoestate where he's spending the holiday weekend. hi, bryan. >> remain in mÉxico, now, look, nothing has been finalized, nothing has been signed but according to washington post under the new plan, immigrants traveling through mÉxico to the united states seeking asylum will have to remain in mÉxico until their applications are processed. on average, arthel, asylum application takes about 2 to 5 years to be processed and you had human rights activists who were saying 2 to 5 years with potential refugees staying in cartel-owned territory along the border. both mexican and u.s. officials hope this will deter people and future caravans, this reported agreement between mÉxico's president elect andrÉs manuel lopez obrador and trump provides solution to the so-called catch and release policy that the president has continuously railed against. according to this policy, those who come into the united states seeking asylum are let go into the united states until their applications are processed, n

. >> kevin corke is live in west palm beach. critics say when it comes to saudi arabia and khashoggi, the white house is choosing to look the other way. what are they saying about that? >> well, i have to say this, julie, i'm glad you ran that clip there of the sound. it underscores the white house's thinking on this. they say on the record it's complicated. they note the sanctions that they've put on those individuals that they believe were involved in this circumstance and talk about the strong diplomatic outreach on background they'll tell you listen, this is about a big picture view versus maybe looking at a very specific incident. it is that thought process that seems to be guiding the white house's thinking on this. now, as i've also pointed out the president laid it out during the thanksgiving chat with u.s. service personnel yesterday also talking to the reporters in the room and explaining his mindset that this is a clear idea for him. >> president trump: saudi arabia has been a long-time strategic partner. they are inv

joining us now is kaitlyn collins in west palm beach, florida. now the president's answers will be checked against the answers of the many cooperating witnesses in this investigation close to the president. is the white house concerned that the president might be contradicted by other witnesses in this investigation? >> well, right now the stance of his legal team s hey, we cooperated. the president submitted these written answers after months of negotiations. now it is time for the special counsel to wrap up their probe. whether or not that actually happens is another question, though, jim. we compared it to a take-home test and rudy giuliani did something similar this morning saying there are long questions, multiple questions that followed up, and that is what the president has answered. we know these questions only pertain to russian interference in the election. and what about russian contact with russians from the president's associates and not anything about the president's time as president. no questions of obstruction of justice or any o
