arguments are being made in the courtroom, who technically is the administrator and what this white house official was arguing. this white house lawyer was essentially saying that he does not have the decision making authority that he simply has as much influence as any other senior advisor to president trump does. but it could matter when it comes to accountability and lawsuits and also ethics claims as well. for these special government employees or senior advisers to the president and how they operate. and so a lot of confusion here, but also just on a political note, you heard elon musk saying time and time again that doge is being the most transparent, and they are letting everyone know everything that they are doing. but this clearly is not a sign of transparency, since they're not saying technically a simple question who the administrator actually is. >> i mean, if they really want. >> it to be transparent, which they say they are being transparent, but if they really wanted to, i mean, they could have cameras with the doge team as they're, you know, running the wood chipper and dismantling

but look, i do want to tell you what one white house official told me about all of this, just to kind of emphasize my point here. they said, quote, it's a frustration. there is a strong and legitimate feeling that this brutal war has to stop, and that this pathway is being diminished. through zelenskyy's public statements. i'd also just point your attention to what we saw. vice president jd vance tell a series of outlets yesterday, which was essentially that this is not the way to negotiate with the president. the idea that badmouthing donald trump is going to help your negotiations, that is not really the way to deal with this president. he's not president joe biden, something vance tried to emphasize in a couple media interviews. but look, one of the key things here as well is how the president feels like the united states shouldn't be giving as much funding to ukraine. we heard him talk about that yesterday as well. all to say, this is something that has been building for a long time. and also, if you look at his past comments, even before he was president, he has shown skepticism

. >> in exchange for getting marc fogel home, white house officials say the u.s. is releasing a russian criminal alexander vinik. he was arrested for cryptocurrency fraud and convicted of money laundering as marc fogel stepped back on american soil. feel like the luckiest man on earth right now. the white house says his release is a step forward in ending the russia-ukraine war. and it's a sign, as i just said, that we are moving in the right direction. president trump greeted the american teacher at the white house late tuesday after fogle spent about 3 years jailed in russia for having medical marijuana. it could be a big, important part of getting the war with ukraine. the prisoner swap comes amid new talks to end the russia-ukraine war. >> president trump said he had a phone call with russian president vladimir putin today saying on truth, social quote, we agreed to work together very closely, including visiting each other's nations. the president also spoke to ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky who posted on x that the 2 talked about, quote, opportunities

and it's clear in my conversations with white house officials that the president is very serious about this. now, i do also just want to point your attention to some of that reaction that you were referencing. we heard from marco rubio, the secretary of state, trying to defend donald trump on this. this is what he posted overnight. he said gaza must be free from hamas. as potus shared today, the united states stands ready to lead and make gaza beautiful again. our pursuit is one of lasting peace in the region for all people, so we'll certainly be getting, of course, more reaction. and as you mentioned, we are going to continue to see prime minister netanyahu today in washington. he's meeting with defense secretary pete hegseth and has more meetings later this week. john. >> we'll be watching all of that very closely. alayna treene at the white house, thank you very much, sarah. >> all right. to continue the conversation. joining us now is cnn political and national security analyst david sanger. david, thank you so much for joining us. look, this president is the person who said that t

he said that it was very solid, and i know that going into today, when i did talk to white house officials and trump administration officials, they said really that they wanted it to be, as rubio put it, a first step in what they knew would be a longer process, but also to make sure that they weren't leaving anything off the table, that everything would be on the table as they walked in to these discussions and broader talks. one thing that really was striking to me in listening to both or all of, you know, rubio, witkoff and walts was as, as alex put it, which is, you know, this is going to be a broader conversation. but the goal is not only to find a lasting end to this war, but also to establish better relations moving forward. walt's put it like this, he said, unlike what could be a better relationship with moscow moving forward. um, but another thing as well, that was very clear. and alex brought this up as well, is that, you know, we heard rubio specifically talk about the importance of the european union. talk about the importance of ukraine and having a seat at the table moving for

white house officials walking back.dent trump's remarks about the united states taking over gaza. here's trump's secretary of state, marco rubio, today versus trump yesterday. >> the only thing president trump has done very generously, in my view, is offer the united states willingness to step in and clear the debris, clean the place up from all the destruction that's on the ground, clean it up of all these unexploded munitions. seriously, it was not meant as a hostile move. it was meant as a, i think, a very generous move. >> given what you've said about gaza. did the u.s. send troops to help secure the security vacuum? >> we'll do what is necessary. if it's necessary, we'll do that. we're going to take over that piece that we're going to develop it. >> and there's more. white house press secretary karoline leavitt today versus trump yesterday the president has made it clear that they need to be temporarily relocated out of gaza for the rebuilding of this effort. >> i do see a long term ownership position, and i see it

now, all of us up here today, we had to take an oath, just like every senior white house official, like every senior federal official out there, to support and defend the constitution of the united states. you know who never took that oath? elon musk. the white house time just yesterday elon musk is a special governmental employee. and there's no evidence that he was ever put in that role, but let's be clear, he is special, very special. but not in that kind of way. special governmental employees do not have the right to delete agencies, fire federal employees, shut off access to their accounts. but let's step back and ask, why did elon musk want to take control of the payment system? that's the 64 true good dollar question. and we know why, because he made clear he wants to cut $2 trillion from her budget. if you look at our budget, there's not $2 trillion to cut unless you massively cut social security and medicare, and that is what he is after. and he has the ability to shut off your social security and medicare, any payments he wants, with the flip of a switch. obviously he has cont

yesterday white house officials said if any country tried to retaliate, the u.s.ld increase tariffs even more. so this trade war could just be getting started. hallie? >> yamiche alcindor, thank you. let's bring in senior business correspondent christine romansns. all right, christine, translate the politics into the everyday budget of it all, because there is a lot of stuff we import from these companies, and a lot of it will probably get more expensive. >> you know, that's right, hallie. if you look at the tariffs, they hit america's three biggest trading partners, mexico, canada and china exported more than $1.2 trillion of goods into the u.s. just in first 11 months of 2024. let's start with energy. canadian crude exports will have a smaller 10% tariff. but experts say even that is enough to add 15 to 25 cents a gallon to the cost of gasoline for u.s. drivers. now let's look at autos. this trade war could add an estimated $3,000 to the cost of a new car in the u.s. why? because 42% of auto parts are imported from mexico. 13% from canada. all of those are about
