this is the lone wolf attacker. he has been inspired by a terrorist organization, and many scholars today, question the fact that he is alone -- a lone wolf altogether, because almost always there is a connection to terrorist organization, or at least inspiration which has been done by a terrorism organization. i would use the term lone wolf, because the lone wolf, being inspired doesn't have any operation with the organization to rid meaning that a terrorist organization is not necessarily involved in the initiation, landing, preparation and execution of the attack altogether. the second group of attackers is the independent network. usually a bunch of lone wolf, a group of them. this group, usually, a small of 5,up -- a small group of 4, people together, usually friends or family members in some cases, for example the san bernardino husband and wife -- an independent network. -- it is an inspiration effect, not without the involvement of -- the operational involvement of a terrorist organization. by the way, if yo

wolf there. again, as david chalian and others were saying here, of all the staff changes in the white house -- and there is likely to be more of them coming -- the -- one person will not change in the oval office, wolf. the new chief of staff can certainly direct leadership, but the president, of course, is staying the same, and all the challenges of the russia organization remain the same. so this chief of staff who we believe will start next week, wolf, certainly has his work cut out for him. >> the president will need a new secretary of homeland security now. we know now why the president deplaned, walked back to speak to a group of reporters. we'll hear that town reportedly from the secretary of the united states. gloria bori gloria borger is with us as well. >> last night we began to get wind something was going on -- >> this was following the anthony scaramucci attack, the interview he granted liz of the new yorker, which he really leveled -- >> right, and reince priebus had not been getti

>> well, wolf, this is a striking development. it first shows that the president has very little in the way of personal loyalty to attorney general sessions who was the first senator to endorse him and campaigned with him all over the country. it's striking that he keeps making these threat nippiening statements about how disappointed he is in his attorney general. i'll remind you the reason he's disappointed the attorney general appropriately recused himself from an ongoing investigation into the potential collusion between the russians and the trump campaign. something which many republican and democratic senators and commentators outside the administration have said was the right thing for attorney general sessions to do. >> do you think sessions should resign amidst all the criticism he's getting from the president himself? >> he's not the president's lawyer. he took an oath to the constitution, not to the president personally. and i think as long as he's able to be an effective attorney general, he should continue doing so. i

many questions being asked today, wolf.uld the president have shown more leadership on this issue? should he -- have exerted more pressure on members? so as all of this is decided here there are new questions that will be, you know, seeing in the coming days's will there be more new faces here at the would us? many think it's time for a reboot. wolf? >> a lot more on that part of the story coming up as well. jeff zeleny at the white house, thanks very much. the drama of the health care vote left us with several memorable moments, including this one. watch this. >> when i was diagnosed with kidney cancer and facing my first surgery, i heard from so many of my colleagues, including so many of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle who wrote me wonderful notes, sharing with me their own experience. with major illness in their families or with their loved ones. you showed me your care. you showed me your compassion. where is that tonight? >> i want to bring back senator mazy has rhone i ha roe ma mazie hirono. discussed t

there could be a curve ball thrown here, wolf. there could be something where both lindsey graham and some of these conservatives say that they've agreed on an alternative plan to push forward. keep in mind that graham himself has been pushing a plan that would give more power back to the states as it relates to health care spending. so perhaps that's what they're ready to unveil. at this point, we don't know. and wolf, frankly, there's a lot we haven't known about this health care process, much of it been done behind closed doors. >> ryan, republican senator, lisa murkowski of alaska was reportedly sent a rather troubling message by the president's interior secretary, ryan zinke over her position on the bill. what do we know about that? >> reporter: that's right, she got a phone call from zinke where he warned murkowski if she did not get on board, there would be trouble from the interior department. and of course the interior department plays a big role in alaska there. that's one of the department's central responsibilities, bu

i'm wolf blitzer. you're in "the situation room." >>> following escalating outrage that jared kushner still has a security clearance as the president's senior advisor and son-in-law faces intensifying scrutiny in the russia investigation. some top democrats are demanding kushner's clearance be revoked immediately, suggesting that america's security is at risk every day that kushner has access to the nation's secrets. this as lawmakers press for more information about that 2016 meeting with the russian lawyer arranged by donald trump, jr. and attended by kushner and former trump campaign chairman paul manafort. the president is ramping up his defense of his son tweeting today that most politicians would agree to meet with someone promising damaging information about an opponent, even if it was supposedly coming from the kremlin. but even members of his own party dispute that. tonight the senate judiciary committee chairman tells cnn he is pushing for trump junior and manafort to testify under oath withi

clearly not enough. >> they have to keep working, wolf. they have to roll up their sleeves and keep working. they have to come up with another amendment. i think lindsey graham has an amendment. they have to work on lisa merkowski. i don't think this is done and obviously coming together as a party is something i think we've had too much difficulty doing and having a governing majority is something that's been problematic. you can have a majority, but if you don't have a governing majority, you can't get things done. >> why not work with the democrats and come up with a compromised work with some moderate democrats, work to try to fix, improve the problems of the affordable care act, obamacare and not necessarily completely repeal it? >> look. i don't think the democrats want to work with us on anything. >> they say they want to work with you. >> you look at the delays of the cabinet appointments, they're e debating our cabinet secretaries for 40 hours and voting for them 90-10. this is not a party. fortunately senator schumer hasn't been

one, wolf. to be precise. if they succeeded to getting a vote to simply repeal, forget the replacement for now. simply repeal, only a partial repealment of the affordable care act, obamacare, because a lot of it would have stayed in place, because you need 60 votes to repeal certain regulations as opposed to other aspects of the affordable care act. explain that to viewers. >> reporter: exactly right. worth noting. again, most senators et voed on this in the last congress. most republican senators. president obama vetoed the bill. a lot of conservatives, including president trump of late calling to just do the repeal-only bill. this is not a repeal-all bill. because of the reconciliation and budget process the senate using to pass something with just a simple majority only 51 votes as opposed to 60, there are limits to what they can actually pass. essentially has to deal with revenue or taxes. and because of that, what this would essentially do, this repeal-only bill, repeal the insurance subsidies, repeal tax

i'm wolf blitzer. you're in "the situation room." >> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. >> breaking this hour, president trump is about to speak live in west virginia, looking at live pictures on a day when the russia investigation may have hit closer to home than ever. his son-in-law and senior advisor jared kushner becoming the first member of mr. trump's inner circle to be questioned in the senate's russia investigation. kushner declaring he did not collude with any foreign government or know of anyone else in the trumped campaign who did. he spoke publicly after his two-hour session with the senate intelligence committee staffers, and he released the lengthy written statement offering new details about his russia meetings and insisting he did nothing improper. >>> also breaking, the president warns senate republicans there is still time to, quote, do the right thing and support the party's promise to repeal and replace obamacare. mr. trump delivering prepared remarks on the eve of a senate vote

wolf? >> stand by for that. meantime, the president also responding to the new job approval numbers just released. a new "washington post" abc news poll pegs the approving number at only 36%. down from 42% in april. what are you hearing? what's the reaction from the white house? >> reporter: well, the reaction fairly mute and as you know, whenever the president tweets about an issue, people here are loathed to try to explain or respond to that. the president tweeted on saturday that he thought just below 40% wasn't too bad, and he also talked in that tweet just a little bit about the abc news poll, that indicated among other things what he essentially was saying, more or less, is that the poll that had been taken this week was very wrong during the election. one of the most inaccuratal positives, he said, which we're told is not true. simply because that poll that was taken in the final days of the election did not indicate the right person to win the election, but it was very close in terms of the popular vote.

wolf? >> i'm told john kelly went even further in that phone call? >> that's right. he expressed his anger and he even at one point said he was contemplating resigning from his position as secretary of homeland security in a showing of solidarity in the wake of comey being fired. we're told during this phone conversation that comey responded by telling him not to resign, not to do anything. now, both sources caution that it was unclear how serious kelly was about resigning, and of course, that never happened. fast forward a few months later, now he is the white house chief of staff. for context, though, the sources said that comey and kelly are not particularly close friends, but they had a professional relationship and a deep mutual respect for each other. bottom line, kelly was upset by the way that comey was treated by the president in this case, wolf. >> pamela brown reporting for us. pamela, thanks very much. lots to discuss. let's get a lot more on all of this. democratic congressman

i'm wolf blitzer. you're in "the situation room." >> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. >>> breaking news. a bombshell revelation today draws the most direct line yet between the trump campaign and russia and it comes in the form of e-mails released by none other than donald trump jr. the e-mails set up the june 2016 meeting between a russian lawyer with trump jr., a trump campaign manager, paul manafort, and trump's son-in-law jared kushner. in the first e-mail an intermediary relayed a message that russia's state prosecutor, quote, offered to provide the trump campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate hillary. closed quote, the e-mail said the information, once again quoting, would be very useful to your father. this is obviously very high level and sensitive information, but it's part of russia and its government support for mr. trump, closed quote. trump jr. replied, quote, i love it. the russian lawyer who met with trump and his colleagues said they want the i

wolf? >> fascinating. laura, the attack on the attorney general by the president in this tweet early this morning involved hillary clinton. tell viewers why that is significant. >> wolf, this is really significant because the president is attacking his own attorney general for not investigating a political rival. but it's also interesting, because the president knew session's position on this months ago. back in january jeff sessions was asked how he'd approach the clinton matter given his role on trump the campaign and all the rhetoric and sessions made clear he would step aside. way before this broader recusal in march, from all things related to the president's campaigns. take a listen to what sessions said back then. >> with regard to secretary clinton and some of the comments i made, i do believe that that could place my objectivity in question. i've given that thought. i believe the proper thing for me to do would be to recuse myself from any questions involving those kind of investigations that -- i
