what else are you hearing from sources close to the defense
Sandra these sources say that the mana port side believes they are in the game
now that the jury is asking questions about what reasonable doubt means and
that is the only question out of four they asked late yesterday that the judge
gave a detailed answer to the judge brought the jurors in and he said this
the government is not required to prove the defendant guilty beyond all possible
doubt but beyond all reasonable doubt the jury also asked for help
understanding two terms they heard dozens if not hundreds of times from the
mauler team shelf companies and F barbed short for foreign bank account reports
the judge said the jurors have to rely on their memory to figure those out this
judge also denied a request from the jury for help organizing the exhibits by
count because there are 18 counts and thousands of pages of evidence one of
the things the judge chided the mauler team four throughout the arguments was
the amount of evidence that he seemed to suggest was sometimes overkill and now
he is leaving it up to the jury to figure out how to digest it remember
last week when the judge gave the jury an unusual set of instructions and then
there was a several hours long delay there was speculation that there might
be a problem with the juror but now it seems like the only problem for the jury
is all the evidence and trying to figure out how to get through it yes so all of
this gets underway about 25 minutes from now Peter do we know yet if jurors plan
to explain their deliberations once this is all done
the judge said they can't stop anybody from talking to the press but that he
wants the deliberation process to remain sacred because if it doesn't whatever
the jurors tell reporters about what's happening in the room right now is quote
grist for the media mill Sandra Teeter do see a lot of activity expected there
today thank you very much thank you Peter meanwhile President Trump said
take off for New York in about 90 minutes from now as he weighs a decision
to revoke the possibility of more security clearances for Obama era
officials now 12 former senior Intel fischels releasing a statement late
yesterday slamming the move as he'll considered in unprecedented Jeff Mason
White House correspondent for Reuters from the Northland how are you doing
Jeff good morning to you morning bill who is next if anyone's
next well that's the question that he did what was senator Sanders when she
read the president's statement just a couple days ago revoking the clearance
for John Brennan mentioned a whole list of other people who he was considering
among them Susan Rice President Obama's former national security adviser and the
former DNI for Obama James clapper are both of whom along with the others on
that list have been big critics of President Trump well here is part of
that letter on-screen as individuals who have cherished and who preserve the
right of Americans to free speech even when that ride has been used to
criticize us that signal is inappropriate and deeply regrettable
decisions on security clearances should be based on national security concerns
and not political views David Petraeus is one of the many who signed that you
can make a case that John Brennan's been the biggest critic of this
administration he's on TV almost every day and what the White House would argue
is that you can go ahead and talk but your access to the information will be
no longer what did Sarah Stander's tell you about that well and I asked her
about that when she made that announcement on Wednesday I asked if
this was something that would could be sitt considered or construed as an
effort to block free speech and she said no the president has a constitutional
right to protect the access to the classified information and
that's what he was doing was exercising that right however the the note that you
mentioned at the top of this segment signed by people including Petraeus who
was someone who president Trump considered as a potential candidate for
Secretary of State says look you don't have to like what they say but you
shouldn't be taking action to strip their security clearance just because
you don't agree with their criticism you know there might be another way of
looking at this let's turn it around 180 degrees Eli Lake Bloomberg News here's
the headline Trump is not trying to silence Brennan that's the headline all
right the president's strategy is the opposite to make the former CIA director
more prominent and use him as a foil in other words you make Brennan the face of
the resistance is that what's going on here well I read that and I think it's
an interesting take look the President does like to have a foil he has often
used the media as a foil and the democratic party he's used Maxine Waters
is a foil he certainly elevated her by continuing to talk about her and rallies
and on Twitter certainly Nancy Pelosi as well so it's possible though that's part
of this strategy it is it would not be unprecedented for him to choose somebody
who he thinks will rile up the base by by elevating him or her and and extra
emphasizing what he or she has said that has been critical of the president do
you know of any moves expected for today well as you said before the president is
traveling today and so we'll be watching it we'll be watching that trip and also
just watching to see whether and when he makes another decision to strip other
people of these security clearances I don't think this story is going away
Jeff Mason thank you for your time from the North Lawn later at the White House
thank you sir Sandra busy morning there we'll keep this conversation going with
today's headliner White House deputy press secretary
Hogan giggly he will join us live at the top of the ten o'clock hour about 50
minutes from now down look forward to that yeah right we've got a long list of
things to talk about right our list is long has not slowed down on President
Trump up and tweeting still slamming Governor Andrew Cuomo over this comment
from this week we're not gonna make America great again
it was never that great well about an hour from now the president comes here
to the empire state of New York and congressman Lee Zeldin will be there to
greet him his reaction coming up on that in a moment also the search for a
missing mother and her two daughters may now be over following a disturbing
discovery yesterday also president Trump's Veterans Day military parade
apparently it's on hold for now when it could finally happen as defense
secretary James Madison disputes the claims about that big fat price tag
listen Ellen's got it made the final decision Dillon plan I whoever told you
that is probably smoking something that's legal in my state but not most
okay what do you think about Jim mattis this response I think he said someone
smoking something somewhere he apparently mattes their meantime
president Trump said to take off on the White House about an hour from now amid
his budding feud with the state's Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo the two
going back and forth after Cuomo took a swipe at the president during a speech
this week New York's Republican Party weighed in tweeting a picture of a bus
ticket saying taxpayers chipped in to buy Cuomo a $55 one-way bus ticket to
Canada offed a month free all he goes to Springer New York congressman Lee Zeldin
sir good morning to you tongue-in-cheek there a little bit of humor good morning
here is what the governor said two days ago listen here we'll get your reaction
we're not gonna make America great again it was never that great but we heard the
reaction with a grab with your reaction sir America is the greatest most
exceptional nation in the history of this world I could think of all
different kinds of reasons why over the course of time from the founding of our
country the putting a man on the moon the liberation of Jews from
concentration camps the advancements of science and medicine we have the
greatest military in the world the largest economy and the freedoms and
liberties that make people come to our country poring over our borders trying
to get here to live and be part of what is American greatness and pursue the
American dream for this Gov dime een I'll take you would have to torture me
to get me to say what this governor said and he said it so easily I would say
this there's a lot of hypocrisy out there of people who always like to take
president Trump's words and cast them in the worst possible light who are now
tripping over themselves saying what he meant to say well let's just take what
he said literally and the reality that that his reaction afterwards wasn't to
clarify his own remarks he actually doubled down and went on offense and
made some ridiculous comment about how you know Donald Trump wants America to
beat great with the KKK like it's it's insane and this guy is a governor who
wants to be President but I think he wants to be president of the wrong
country because we're not electing him he's running for re-election guys skip
forward once to get the Cuomo tweet here's what you're
- okay then I'll show you the tweet from the west wing I have real Donald Trump
he said what you say would be great again would not be great at all we would
not go back to discrimination segregation sexism isolation racism of
the KKK that's what you're referring to here's what the president said he said
how does a politician cuomo known for pushing people and businesses out of the
state not to mention having the highest taxes in the u.s. survive making the
statement we're not going to make America great again it was never that
great which section of the sentence is worse you pick it there's you know I had
nothing wrong with that what Donald Trump will president Trump is saying is
absolutely true because up in Albany Andrew Cuomo feels like his work is done
here as far as making our government operate more efficiently with our taxes
our spending we spent over 1 billion dollars a week just on Medicaid alone
and you're what you're seeing now with people leaving our state go to North
Carolina South Carolina and Florida and we need people who are representing us
I'm in New York are representing us up in Albany who feel like that their work
if their toughest work is still ahead to make our state operate more efficiently
to improve the business climate to make easier for young families to start their
families here to make it easier for families seniors to be able to afford to
stay for Andrew Cuomo to instead of using that opportunity with a clarifying
tweet to say on his own what he meant to say instead he goes on offense no one is
saying that we should make America great again by you know ridiculousness with
like supporting the KKK that's insane and what we want to do is continue to
see our economy improve right now we're seeing that there are more available
jobs than people to fill them unemployment at historic lows markets
and 401ks at historic highs the president's coming to my district here
in an hour - I'm looking forward to seeing him and saying thank you for all
of your help to defeat ms-13 to help grow our economy to better secure our
borders to strengthen our military improve our foreign policy and to make
countries respect us again adversaries understanding that they do not respect
weakness they only respect strength so I'm looking forward for the president
coming to my district you're ready for the hundreds we'll see
what happens at Cuomo's reelection based on this this comment here but you
mentioned it you gave a long pitch there your message to the president's pretty
obvious how is the economy doing in your district you've got a reelection in less
than three months and about twenty seconds on that got a roll I lived in
Suffolk County our unemployment rates are hitting historic lows in our home
county so we're seeing it all across the country we're feeling good there's more
work to do but but we want to work together across party lines to try to
get further progress and and fight past this obstruction those who want to
impeach oppose obstruct that's not the path forward the best path forward for
