pamela: absolutely. host: how do you find someone -- do you stay with them so that you can trust their skill level and interpretation, and also that they know the nuances of what they are translating? pamela: in many cases, there is already somebody there. there are a number of cities i've worked in where they had a full-time, one or even two, interpreters assigned, who live there, work there, know the languages. and you went out with them as a matter of course. that helps a great deal. if it is a crisis, a place you have never been, then you are really stuck. one of the things i've done over the years when i was in that situation, i would land at the airport and ask the taxidriver to bring me to the nearest newspaper. i would serve myself at the mercy of the editor and ask for someone to help me out. sometimes they would want to go with me. that was one obvious thing to try. it didn't always work. generally, i was able to find somebody at least for the first few days i could help me out and see what hap

pamela brown is back with us from the white house. what more do you know about the president's trip to walter reid. >> reporter: the president's visit had a series of anomalies. for context, erin, the president had his annual physical this past february during the workweek and it was announced a hi owed time that was going to be happening. by contrast, erin, the president went to walter reid went by mode tore cade, not marine one as is standard practice weather permitting. medical staff at walter reid didn't even get any advanced notice about this visit. typically medical staff would get notice about a vip visit to the center, notifying some closures at the facilities for security protocols. trump can get lab work done here at the white house, but a walter reid visit may indicate he needed certain testing like images. white house press secretary stephanie grisham is denying that this has anything to do more than just getting a partial physical exam out of the way. he was there for a couple of hours. she said he had a free day and so t

again thank you pamela. it's all great points. my dad was a fundraiser for the civil rights movement. and he travels the country. but the whole point of them going down south was to help bring visibility to the civil rights movement. the only way we have achieved change. it was the children's march. the activities in birmingham. that was after outrage from people all over the country. they had watched dog speed unleashed and threatened with those children. and tumbling into each other. they needed visibility. they tried to get celebrities so that he could actually had change in this country.o all of the marches. there had to be bill built money raised. people like my dad they would host things to raise money. i was apprehensive about my dad going down south. they did what they have to do in order to change laws and bring equality and justice to american citizens. >> according to your book again, i was invested in the children that were marching i understood why kids have to go to jail. and how that raised the biz visibility of the

pamela brown, cnn, the white house. >> steve v laddic, a cnn contributor. good to see you. what do you make of the strategy getting infollow guidance from a few republican members of congress? >> in one sense i think it's not at all surprising. in another sense, i think it's a pretty telling and sober reflex of where we are. we're supposed to have the separation of powers, not parties. yet here we have members of the house who ar supposed to be playing the role of grand jurors helping the puttative defense. it's not as pamela said, not against the rules as long as they're not divulgetion the contents. but it still doesn't help the appearance that there are two sides here and no one is trying to necessarily convince people on the other side they're right. >> it almost sends a message of a conflict of interest. your role is oversight, you know, as a member of congress, and then to i guess split up the team on whether you're going to, you know, live up to, you know, your sworn duty, you know, of protecting democracy, or not. >> well again, what's your role? the founders when t

he's the only one who is saying it's perfect. >> pamela, you're our white house correspondent. he was act about mick mulvaney and asked if he was happy with the yob he's doing for him and trump, according to the interview demur, happy, question mark, mulling the question. i don't want to comment on it. >> not exactly confidence inspiring but it's hard to read too much into that because the president has praised official and the next minute they are let go. it's tough to say but through my reporting, it doesn't appear that mulvaney will be fired any time soon, at least until after the impeachment inquiry. the very at least the president did you want want the lose someone from the white house who knows a lot about this ukraine situation and could be a liability to the white house. ever since that press conference that mick mulvaney held where he confirmed there was quid pro quo and walked it back, the president was irritate bid that. >> let's what toobin says. go ahead. >> i don't know. the white house merry go round of people. what difference does it make? there's only one perso

pamela brown, it's going to the supreme court. >> this is a huge development with the president's personal lawyers asking the supreme court to block the subpoena looking for the president's tax returns and financial records over several years. this is a subpoena from the manhattan d.a.'s office. the lawyers for the president are arguing he is am mun. they're making a broad immunity argument he is immann from such a subpoena and from criminal prosecution while he is in office. if the supreme court decides to take this up and makes a decision it would be a landmark ruling that dogged the president since the day he took office and his campaign, about releasing his tax returns. >> what do you think? you went to law school. >> i think immunity is the weaker argument. i think this is a fishing expedition this is politically motivated. even if the state say this state of new york can't get it they have to pass the way and means committee, there is a statute that says the house ways and means chair and senate finance chair can get those. if you make one argument, it will make it harder to make the

we have pamela brown and michael warren. thank you, both, for joining us with your reporting. mike, i want to start with you. as late as october, trump and giuliani were talking about once a day? sdp sdp >> that's right, and giuliani has told cnn that any conversations he has with trump are privileged because trump still retains him as counsel. we know they have a close relationship. the president sees him as a peer as they're close in age. the president is talking to giuliani not only about impeachment issues but also about politics as well. that's a conversation that is apparently still going on between them, even though, as we're learning this week with the release of these transcripts, that giuliani is really a central person in all of these events that are leading now, we can see, to the president very close to being -- advantage impeachment vote against him in the house. >> so, pamela, if giuliani could be a potential vulnerability and maybe even a liability to the president, why is he staying so close with giuliani? sdp >> that's a big question and i'm told by a source

i am pamela brown, in for erin burnett this friday. tonight, the president's chief of staff orchestrated the quid pro quo, according to two white house officials whose closed door depositions were released today. fiona hill, president trump's former adviser on russia and the top ukraine expert on the national security council both testified under oath in the impeachment inquiry, and both said it all came back to mick mulvaney. the president's right-hand man. a man you would be hard pressed to imagine was acting on his own. according to hill and vinman that testified separately behind closed doors, they were told mulvaney was directing quid pro quo in coordination with the ambassador of the eu, gordon sundland. gordon was asked how he came to believe this deliverable was necessary? >> this was coordinate with chief of staff, mick mulvaney. what did he say? he said he had a conversation with mr. mulvaney, this is what was required in order to get a meeting. here's how hill rekounltd thcou. he talked about how he had an agreement with chi

we have a prosecutor as well and cnn's pamela brown as well. what is mulvaney doing here, pamela? >> that's a good question. in court on friday he said, look, he didn't want to be held in contempt of congress. this is something the court should decide, this dispute over the house subpoena and the white house assertion of privilege and immunity. if you take a step back, it certainly is an interesting move. because if the court does rule that they don't have standing, that basically if they lose this lawsuit, then that puts the white house in a difficult spot because mulvaney is a current top official in the white house. kupperman and bolton are former officia officials, so it's going to make it harder for the white house to block other testimony against current officials, too, who have defied the house subpoena. it also raises the question just given the developments recently where it becomes more and more clear about testimony of mulvaney and reporting out there that maybe republicans would put the blame on him to deflect from the president, whether he realizes he's going to be th

we have pamela brown with us. she's here with her reporting. and elliott williams has the legal angle on this. pamela, some people would say, what? robert miller is so this summer. what's going on, what's this about and why now? >> there was a court filing from the democrat's house lawyer telling the judge that basically, look, we really need to see this grand jury information that was given to robert mueller, because there is growing concern that the president lied in his written answers to mueller's investigators. and they point to information that has come out during the roger stone testimony, who we know efhe was just recently convicted and an associate of trump. as you know, rick gates had testified the president had just gotten off the phone with roger stone and told him more information would be coming. he also said that paul manafort, the campaign chairman, had been briefing the president about efforts to get the wikileaks emails. what is interesting about that is in light of what the president said in his written answers to mueller, as

they are so in bed with the fossil fuel industry that there's nothing that even pamela anderson could get out of donald trump. there's no point. but i feel bad. you know, that behavior is the behavior, it's the language of people who have been traumatized, and you have to hate the behavior but don't hate the person. you know, i don't hate him. i feel sad for him and what he's doing to the world is just criminal. it's just criminal. it's terrible. but we -- we have -- there's more of us and we can make a difference. >> well, listen -- you know, i want to -- and i wouldn't give up and i wouldn't rule it out. >> i'm not giving up. >> in terms of even moving the trump white house. i got a chance to work with them on criminal justice reform and a beautiful woman, kim kardashian went in there, and he moved. it will take wisdom. you have been doing this for a long time. what did you learn in the '60s and the '70s as an activist. you became very controversial. you had a big comeback. what did you learn in those days that you want these young people to know about being an activist for change.

jake. >> pamela brown thank you. john dean, let me go to you. it occurs to me as we hear about the white house talking about how everything is going even though witness after witness is painting a picture as what gordon sondland called a continuum of insidiousness of what they were pushing the ukraine team to do. what happened during watergate? did the white house continually say that everything was great and the witnesses were not hitting their mark at all? >> not really. they constantly had talking points they put out. nixon locked in on a defense very early. that he knew nothing about the cover-up until i had told him in march of 1973 and said before that i knew nothing. it was an outrageous lie and when tape came out showing he was in on week one, that blew all of his defense. so they stuck with that defense. more importantly, during the clinton impeachment, the republicans were incredibly well-organized. i happened to be sitting on a panel like this with barbara olson on one side, the late barbara olson and she would constantly pick up her

cnn's pamela brown joins us with the latest. how concerned is the white house? >> reporter: sources say the white house views bill taylor's testimony on this explicit quid pro quo you just laid out as the most damaging so far for the president's case. there was heightened concern among aides, anderson, ahead of his public testimony next week. one reason why is his credibility. he's a former west point grad, vietnam grad. he was handpicked by one of the president's favorite cabinet members, mike pompeo. and the white house has been told by republican allies that he could be the hardest witness to discount. in fact, white house officials were under the impression that democrats would wait until the end to have bill taylor testify. instead he's first up in a week from today. and the white house realizes that the public testimony will bring to life, make more real what has so far been conveyed through these written statements, transcripts, and reporting from private testimony. and for bill taylor, that means sound bites of him describing president trump wanting pres

our senior white house correspondent pamela brown is on the scene for us. how does the administration see the testimony at least so far? >> you know, wolf, president trump has got this break today from the public impeachment hearings, but he is tweeting about yesterday's hearing from two key witnesses, focusing on the gop lawmakers' questioning, praising congressman ratcliffe who asked about what the impeachable offense was in the president's call. but even as the white house aides brief president trump, they believe the hearing was a win for them it is clear the president is not out of the woods yet. particularly in the wake of that new revelation you were just discussing from bill taylor about one of his aides heard the president on the phone with ambassador gordon sondland pressing about the investigations at the center of this impeachment probe that sondland characterized as the president caring more about the biden investigation than ukraine. this new information caught the white house off guard, and the president as well. he claimed that he didn't rec

our senior white house correspondent pamela brown is getting new information at the white house. the president has been busy tweeting already. >> he has been very busy tweeting already. he is gearing up to watch the morning portion of these hear,s before his meetings begin with turkish president erdogan. in the tweets this morning, he's going after the democrats involved in this and even the witnesses, wolf, calling them never trumpers. these two witnesses are still in this administration. they're career diplomats. they've worked for administrations on both sides of the aisle. but the president's tweets give you a glimpse of the white house strategy today. focusing on these witnesses, they are going to be quick to point out they were not on the call in july with president zelensky of ukraine. that they never spoke to the president directly about ukraine. so part of the strategy here is to really undermine the witnesses' credibility. as one official i spoke to here at the white house said, they are expecting these witnesses to say things about this president, about the white house
