our senior white house correspondent cecilia vega is tracking it all. morning, cecilia. >> reporter: good morning to you. an investigation into the investigation is exactly what this is. and that seems to have pleased president trump enough to avoid a showdown with his justice department, at least for now. he may be in the president's crosshairs but deputy attorney rod rosenstein was all smiles as he left a meeting in the oval office. the president summoned his top law enforcement officials, including fbi director christopher wray to talk about his latest demand, a tweet sunday ordering a new investigation into whether or not the fbi/doj infiltrated or surveilled the trump campaign for political purposes. and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the obama administration. the edict sending shock waves through washington. >> that he would issue such an absurd and abusive demand based on no evidence shows just how little regard the president has for the rule of law. >> clearly this is designed to undermine the investigation. it's desi

our white house correspondent cecilia vega has more on this. orning, cecilia. >> reporter: robin, good morning to you. you know, we don't often hear publicly from john kelly but these reports have him so angry that he is pushing back calling them, quote, another pathetic attempt to smear people close to the president and distract from the administration's many successes. amid reports that his own chief of staff had been bad-mouthing him, president trump took to twitter to blast the media writing, the fake news is going crazy making up false stories and using only unnamed sources who don't exist. they are totally unhinged. according to one report, that is the same word john kelly used to describe his boss. cnn citing an anonymous source says kelly called the president unhinged after he made an off-the-cuff remark about wanting to pull troops out of syria, and that's not all. nbc also citing anonymous sources reported that kelly repeatedly called the president an idiot. one saying he doesn't even understand what daca is. he's an idiot. we've got t

let's go to our senior white house correspondent cecilia vega in washington with the latest. >> reportere president is the one who actually broke this news with those tweets and within the last few minutes we received an official statement from the white house. i want to read you what they're saying. their words are interesting. quote, president trump appreciates leader kim jong-un's action to release these american citizens and views this as a positive gesture of goodwill. the white house thanking kim jong-un for this. again, the president is saying that these three americans appear to be in good health, they walked on to this airplane that's now in japan without any assistance. the reaction in washington is down right kel bcelebratory. as terry just said, this comes ahead of that summit that the white house is now working with north korea to plan but all of this, on top of the other big international head line, the president pulling out of the iran deal angering some of our closest allies in europe. overnight iranian lawmakers burning a paper american flag after president trump declare

our senior white house correspondent cecilia vega is tracking all of this for us. morning, cecilia. >> reporter: hi, robin, good morning to you. the president called this deal insane, ridiculous, said it's something that never should have been even signed in the first place so these are his concerns. there's a clause in this deal that allows iran to resume part of its nuclear program after 2025. that is one of the president's main issues with this and he's also here looking to make good on a campaign promise. this is something he told his base he would tear up on day one. european allies have lobbied him hard, fearful that if the u.s. pulls out it might give iran the incentive to leave this deal too. emmanuel macron for that bro fest making the pitch in person. the brits made a last-ditch effort recently, even sending someone onto fox news to make the case in hopes that president trump might hear them. now the president this morning appears all -- appears all but ready to pull out of this deal and, robin, iran has threatened grave consequences for anyone who, quote

. >> cecilia vega here as well and let's stay on the theme. as martha pointed out in her piece, the president had pretty high expectations for this summit. any initial white house reaction? >> they released a watered down statement saying they'll continue to coordinate with allies, that they're looking into the reports from the south korean media and as far as we know the summit from the white house's perspective is still being planned. this caught the administration off guard. there is this now push to find out as robin said whether this is a negotiating ploy by kim jong-un or whether this is actually something they need to take seriously. for now it's still going to happen. this is a setback, unclear exactly how big it is. >> what the president said when he talks about it always talks about, yes, they're agreeing to denuclearize. it's clear that both have different definitions. >> completely but remember the president has also carried through with everything he said, left this window open that things could fall apart on this. he has always s
