where hillary clinton was going to beat donald trump and if i hide this from the american people, she will be illegitimate the moment she is elected. >> that's right. >> i'm michael cohen, attorney-at-law. also sometimes not at law. i'm donald trump's lawyer! i got a whole hard drive that is just labeled, yikes! >> announcer: this is "new day weekend" with victor blackwell and christi paul. >> good sunday morning to you. hours after launch ago military strike on syria, american british and french leaders are calling for a new investigation into the suspected chemical weapons attacks by the al assad regime. >> the allies it's going to help to dismantle the program verifiable and irreversible way.

syria's most powerful ally russia has called on the newest to condemn the action but members of the security council overwhelmingly voted down that resolution. syria says most of the missiles were intercepted. and that some of the targets were left unscathed. look at the satellite images. they appear to dispute that showing some sites just leveled. the pentagon says the strikes on syria's chemical weapon sites sets back the programs for years and some capability left, the trump administration issued a stern warning against a future attack. >> cnn politics reporter dan merica is in the washington bureau for that locked and loaded we hear from the u.s. ambassador. >> tough talk after the strikes. important as you note some of the syria's capabilities remain and why the trump administration, days after the strikes, are saying they will continue to do this if president bashar al aside uses chemical weapons again. it's important to note that the pentagon wasn't exactly clear to

what the red line is with the trump administration. they weren't able to say whether it was chlorine or sarin gas which u.s. officials are confident was used in the attack that spurred the u.s., french, and british response. all of this is happening in a political context. democrats were initially very supportive of these strikes, including some up for re-election in 2018 but they are now calling on president trump to come to congress to brief them on his plans in syria and his long-term strategy for the reason and also go to the united nations and use the united nations as a venue to brief and to find an end to the conflict in syria. now that is significant because the u.n. ambassador for the united states nikki haley is probably more hawkish than some members of the trump administration. take a listen to what she said yesterday about the strikes in syria. >> if the syrian regime uses this attack, we are locked and loaded.

when our president draws a red line, our president enforces the red line. >> reporter: president trump's response to the strikes has been kind of mixed. he said in a tweet yesterday the mi mission was accomplished. a message that harkened back to what george w. bush said in the iraq war where he thought the iraq war was over and he says he has come to regret that statement. it's unclear whether he is referring to the friday night or the broader u.s. mission in syria and seems unlikely that is the case. president trump has been motivated throughout his presidency to do things that president obama was unable to do. you'll remember that president obama set a red line during his administration during the use of chemical weapons in syria and found a peaceful solution to that and did not resort to military action but it seems that president trump is trying to step in and doing something where president obama was unable. >> dan merica in washington,

thank you. syrian president al assad is claiming at least partial victory. >> in a meeting with russians lawmakers, he says defense weapons supplied by moscow knocked down nik paton walsh joins us from syria. >> reporter: you have to bear in mind it's a messy picture of exactly what happened in terms of syria's air defenses. they are claiming in that meeting that it was soviet era technology that took out top of the guided missiles launched from b-1 bombers. i find it a complicated sell and complicated to believe the russia state of the affairs which means 70 of the 105 missiles fire were taken out of the sky by air missile defense.

complicated but even if it was top of the end russian technology will be remarkable for most modern missile defenses. there is certainly a message being given out. a victory to some degree they have survived but they believe they intercepted much of this and woefully contradicted by the pentagon's own satellite image. particular buildings taken off the map. put that aside. this is a conflict and everyone is going to sell you their own particular side even though the russians and syrians aren't able to provide much evidence of that effect. the message from the syrians is still the same. we are still here. we are still going about our normal daily business. they say will beef up their air defenses. okay, fine. quite clearly enough technology in the mix to bring it in to take out the cruise missiles but i think frankly because neither washington want to be in a shooting war here they may have

chosen not to deploy those and something the pentagon has better knowledge of than myself. still al assad putting out pictures of him strolling into work yesterday, pristine marble reception floor and, today, talking about the need of $14 billion to rebuild the country that many say frankly has been his forces reduced to rubble in trying to crush the insurgency. they are sending out a message we are still here and we have brushed off the last 72 hours and the civil war continues in their favor as frankly we have known before. the outstanding question, though, as dan pointed towards there is what force in that gas used last week can? they talk about analysis u.s. and uk and france but not clear who has important and plus some have shown the opcw on the ground now doing that kind of work and it's important in the future, i think, that people understand whether it was sarin juice that caused this intervention or the use of chlorine. chlorine is part of a majority of the 50 cases of so nikki haley said the saen regime is

behind the chemical weapons since the war began. if chlorine is a new line it opens up a new willwhole new is. joining me now is julian zeleny, cnn political analyst and historian and professor at princeton university. good morning. >> good morning. >> let's listen to general kenneth mckenzie on the possibility or potential for chemical weapons that still existing there in syria. watch. >> i would say there is still a residual element of the syrian program out there and not say they will able to have a chemical attack in the future but i still think they will think long and hard about it. >> reporter: let's just assume for the conversation here that the u.s. took out as much as they knew about the storage and the production facilities there. syria would have to know after the 2017 military strikes and certainly after the ones just a

couple of days ago, that there will be some proportionate military response so they have to factor that in to the potential to use them, right? >> absolutely. and the hope is that this kind of attack acts as a deterrent but it's not clear that it will. that is a good reminder that we already had a strike and, yet, we are in the same place a year later. and so the severity of the civil war and the interests of the assad regime with the continued backing of russia might mitigate some of the threat that president trump is trying to make through this one strike. >> so we heard the rhetoric of locked and loaded from ambassador nikki haley and we heard that the president say that the u.s. is prepared to sustain this response, militarily, economically, diplomat diplomatically. how does that correspond for the people who voted for him the

u.s. stay out of syria and not involved in the wars around the world. >> it contradicts what donald trump, the candidate, had said. this is a bigger commitment than one strike. it's not a war film. this requires a sustained commitment and it also contradicts not just what he said on the campaign trail, but what he said a few weeks ago that he was withdrawing forces from syria. so i don't think many people have clarity about what he is going to do or what the long-term plan is and i think this might rub a lot of his constituents the wrong way if this gets deeper rather than him moving past syria. >> more than his constituents, here is a member of his own party in congress. congressman mike hoffman. watch this. >> well, i think that is the frustration. certainly this was in response to use of chemical weapons but in terms of what is the overall policy that the united states has towards syria, i think the president blurted out in a

campaign style -- what? gathering that he wanted to withdrawal all forces from syria. the united states needs to have a coherent policy when it comes to it syria. certainly beyond deterring assad from using chemical weapons and i think that important for the stability of the region, important for the security of israeli, and this administration doesn't have one right now. >> julian, you got the lack of a coherent strategy there. you got the president saying that it's time to come out of syria. you've got congress that will not vote on a new authorization of use of military force specifically for syria. is it your perspective here that the u.s. has resigned itself to understand that it will not be part of this new political solution moving forward? syria that it will be up to russia and iran and turkey to have some role there and u.s. will be off the table there? >> i don't know if the u.s. has

resigned itself to that. i do think that is where the trump administration is going and i'm not sure that this strike really indicates some shift in long-term policy. so i think that is exactly the direction this moves. and that might not be a very sustainable future because as we see, it's a very dangerous situation there and it's not clear you can just allow it to resolve itself nor can we trust syria and iran to work this out. and so i don't think this is a sustainable strategy that the administration has and saying mission accomplished should be a good reminder of what happens when presidents don't think long term. it turns into a big mess. >> there was the important line between the read-out between the president of france and they agree they have to reinvigorate military stable efforts in syria to determine the long-term defeat of isis.

what happens after this war for isis to get a foothold. julian zeleny, thank you for being with us. >> thank you. some of president trump's die-hard supporters, some of his base are not happy about these syria air strikes. we will talk about why some see it as a betrayal of his campaign promises. send or do not send. former fbi director james comey had a decision to make just days before the 2016 election. he tells abc what he was thinking when he sent congress a letter about new clinton emails. >> that she is going to be elected president and if i hide this from the american people, she will be illegitimate the moment she is elected, the moment this comes out. on't relieve nasal congestion. flonase allergy relief is different. flonase relieves sneezing, itchy, watery eyes

let's talk more the

political element we saw this weekend. >> there is a refugee who said i've been in syria and i want to buy the president a beer. he is happy about what happened with this air strikes. take a look. >> i just want to tell mr. trump, like, directly, i'm a syrian refuge who survived chemical weapons attacks own what lived under two years of bombardment and siege bit government. i would like to buy you a beer and just sit in front of you and tell you how bad it is in syria, how you should listen to your heart, not listen to your generals. you proved, once again, yesterday that you have a big heart, at least a lot more bigger than obama. >> it's interesting is that some of president trump's base and the people that support him do not see it that way. they say it as a betrayal of

trump's campaign promises. brian steallter has something t say about this. what do you make of all of this? >> the reacttions are fascinating. many of the president's saun staunchist allies and biggest supporters are not with him on the topic of syria. they are deeply concerned by the prospect of another war, about the u.s. getting entangled even more deeply in another middle east conflict. here is an example from anne coulter who is a columnist and she tweeted when the syria strikes were announced on friday, this is good for boeing. boeing is happy, meaning makers of weapons, makers of missiles and things, but trump voters like the brexit voters continue to wait. she is trying to say there is a difference between -- we have also seen this from others like tucker carlson and laura

ingraham. and even alex jones who was crying or pretended to cry on his radio show when the strikes were announced. i think this all relates to the president's tweet yesterday where he said mission accomplished. we have all seen this and talking about this tweet from the president there, whether he intended to refer back to 2003 or not, those two words, mission accomplished, and the idea that, you know, war in iraq and then raged on for many years after. there is such an aftermath, such a reaction to iraq, to what happened in iraq and afghanistan. it's a big part of the reason why trump's biggest staunchest supporters in the media don't want to see another escalation in another country because of what the lessons were from iraq and so why now we see many of his base breaking with him at this moment in time. >> what does this mean for the midterm elections? the president is not on the

ballot. we have seen a couple of republicans. i just played mike coffman talking about a larger discussion kneeleded about strategy. what does this mean for the members of congress who are running? >> i think too early to say the same way the government shutdown was not affecting the midterms for sure. i am seeing this ongoing trend where trump's staunchest supporters, his allies are only with him up until the border. at the border and outside the u.s., albuquerqhis allies are n necessarily with him. disappointment of lack of border wall funding a big topic last monday. the decision to strike in syria is another area his big supporters or some members of his base are not with him. i think they are with him here in the united states but not necessarily with him outside of the united states and that may be an ongoing trend which would discourage people necessarily from voting in the fall. but look. if you have only two choices a democrat or a republican, i

would think that the tucker carlson and lauwye laura ingram somebody to sport the president. i think there is ongoing discussion about what the right answer is when it comes to syria. normally they kind of view this if you lean right or conservative you support the president you're supporting syria strikes. it's actually not that simple. it's a lot more complicated and i think it's a good thing we are seeing debate on the right and on the left about the legality of the action, about the ethics of the action and about the end game. we didn't necessarily always see this debate in 2002 or 2003, for example. i think it's a positive we are seeing this argument, seeing this discussion happening online and on tv. >> also will there be a vote in more than a discussion. there will be an actual vote on that use? brian stelter, thank you. that will be a part of the discussion continuing throughout the day and brian will be back on "reliable sources" at 11:00

a.m. eastern here on cnn. james comey says even if sending his 2016 letter to congress helped elect donald trump, he would do it again. next, he'll explain why. here's the story of green mountain coffee roasters sumatra reserve told in the time it takes to brew your cup. let's go to sumatra. where's sumatra? good question. this is win. and that's win's goat, adi. the coffee here is amazing. because the volcanic soil is amazing. making the coffee erupt with flavor. so we give farmers like win more plants. to grow more delicious coffee. that erupts with even more flavor. which helps provide for win's family. and adi the goat's family too. because his kids eat a lot. all, for a smoother tasting cup of coffee. green mountain coffee roasters. packed with goodness.

former fbi director james comey said if he had to do it all over again he would still send out that letter >> here is comey speaking with abc's george stephanopoulos. he explains why finding new hillary clinton emails days before the 2016 election. >> wasn't the decision to reveal influenced by your assumption that hillary clinton was going to win and your concern that if she wins this comes out several weeks letter and taken that she is an illegitimate president. >> it must have been. i don't remember consciously thinking about that but it must have been. i was operating in a world where hillary clinton was going to beat donald trump. i'm sure it was a factor. like i said i don't remember spelling it out, but it had to have been, that she is going to be elected president and if i hide this from the american people, she will be illegitimate the moment this comes out.

>> if you knew that letter would elect donald trump, you would still send it? >> i would. >> hillary clinton is convinced that that letter defeated her. what do you say to her? >> i hope not. i don't know. i honestly don't know. i sure hope not, but the honest answer is it wouldn't change the way i think about it. my hope -- i didn't write the book for this reason -- but talking about leadership, it was important to tell the email story because it's me trying to figure out how to lead well, that people will read that story and try to put themselves in my shoes, try to realize that i'm not trying to help a candidate or hurt a candidate. i'm trying to do the right thing and you can come up with different conclusions, reasonable people would have chosen a different door for reasonable reasons, but it's just not fair to say we were doing it for some illegitimate reason. kelly jane torrance, is a deputy managing editor of "the weekly standard" with us now. what do you make of this

realization he seemed to have? >> i think the only man in washington whose ego might rival of donald trump is james comey and they have a lack of self-awareness. i watched that and to me incredible politics clearly should play no role in than sort of fbi investigation and here he is talking about how politics informed his decision. it's incredible. i mean, he should be making those decisions -- he talks about leadership. the head of the fbi should be making his decisions based solely on the evidence before him. he should not be thinking about the political context. we rely on the fbi as everyone in washington has been talking about lately, to make such decisions without a look at the politics. looking at some of the excerpts from the book he talks about, well, all of the polls had hillary clinton ahead. why is he looking at polls? it's incredible. >> it's something he has been criticized for. i want to look ahead to michael cohen tomorrow.

he is under deadline right now. as of 10:00 a.m. tomorrow morning, he is supposed to go to court in new york and produce or disclose his client list. there are people that know him that have said he's told us he only has one client, that one client being donald trump. if he has one client, how pivotal then is what happens in court because would that not lead to president trump? >> yeah. this is big. as you say, sources have said that michael cohen has told them i have one client and it's donald trump. of course, prosecutors have noted that they searched his email and they found no emails with president trump because, of course, president trump famously does not use email. we are hearing that donald trump is far more worried about michael cohen now than he is about the mueller investigation. it's about time he took his focus away from that. but, you know, when you look at what they were looking for in the search warrant he is under

investigation, they said, for wire fraud, bank fraud, campaign finance violations. he get the impression what they are looking at is whether michael cohen was part of a conspiracy to silence women before the election through fraudulent means. and was it that they told these women things that were not the case? because he wanted to buy their silence. and this could be very big. i think donald trump should be worried. >> yeah, there is actually a new abc poll says 68% of women like dislike president trump personally but his new numbers are 47 approval for his job performance, so that is a bit telling there as well. one other thing i wanted to get to that was out today and that is sarah sanders, she tweeted this. i want to show it to you.

here is the thing. you see the guy there at the very end of the table right next to president trump there on the left? it looks like it's mike pence. we have not confirmed that to be. however, former director of the office of government ethics walter schaub noticed it and he tweeted fascinating tweet. he is saying that because friday, i think it was friday morning, vice president pence left side for peru and been there since then. what do you make of this? >> it's pretty strange. we all know that mike pence was on peru. quite famously he was on his way to a meeting the motorcade turned around and he went back to his hotel because he found out the strikes are about to happen and he was the one who actually called people in congress. a lot of people were surprised the president, himself, didn't call. let's face it.

mike pence is more of a personable guy. i think if you want anyone calling nancy pelosi or chuck schumer, mike pence is probably the guy. it's always strange whenever there is a big situation like this, they always seem important to tweet you or send out a picture of people looking serious making the decisions. you know what? i'm less interested in those images than in hearing what evidence, what went through their minds, what was the reason they made this decision, and, you know, pictures like this, everything is visual these days, i guess. people want to see things but i'd rather hear about the reasons behind it and hear about the debate. but this is the new washington we get a picture tweeted out instead. >> surely, we will hear at some point more of the details you were talking about. kelly jane core totorrance, tha

>> thank you. we will talk more about the u.s. military strategy in syria with our experts next. >> jack and jackie's daughter caroline became the u.s. ambassador to japan. >> i'm also proud to carry forward my father's legacy of public service. >> you have joseph kennedy ii who served a number of terms in congress along with his cousin patrick. kathleen kennedy townsend was a lieutenant governor of maryland. you have christopher kennedy, son of robert kennedy, launching his political career in illinois. >> it would not be possible to write a complete history of modern america without talking about the kennedys and the contribution that they have made. at a comfort inn with a glow taround them, so people watching will be like, "wow, maybe i'll glow too if i book direct at choicehotels.com." who glows? just say, badda book. badda boom. book now at choicehotels.com.

are you sure you're describing the coffee and not me? new this morning, russia says that syrian president is praising russian defense weapons using during the u.s. led air strikes and viewing them as an aggression. >> the uk and france and usa are pushing for an end. >> let's bring in major general spider marks a have been military analyst and smaj vi vinograd. general, off the top, the credence you give to the potential or the claim at least by assad that the russian

defense weapons were pivotal in the strikes in protecting some of these sites across syria. >> yeah, i think what we know now is that russia chose not to engage directly militarily in this attack. in fact, i'm sure what happens is the syrians, when the president announced that something was about to happen, the syrians did the very, very best they could to try to intermingle their forces with the russian forces knowing the united states would try to desperate russian forces from targets the syrians would present, and i guaranteed you the russians, wait, wade, wadit. hold on. you have problems and we don't and the russians chose not to directly engage. >> i want to listen here to representative will hurd who is talking about what it will take to clean up syria. >> you still have bashar al

assad in power being able to kill many of his own countrymen. so that part of -- that is not a success and i think until bashar al asooed leaves, i would say the broader goals in the region have not been accomplished. >> sam, diplomacy, people are calling for it, but this has been going on for seven years, at least. it has not worked. what are the options here when it comes to bashar al assad in syria? >> to your point, this conflict started when i was in the white house and we looked at every avenue possible to mitigate the suffering of the syrian people and putting this in a very strict u.s. national security perspective to limit the ricks to the homeland and i think part of the reason the focus to counterisis. they striked t we have a specific focus on countering isis in syria. in terms of what options we

have, i think that we have to look at who syria's patron is. the road to damascus, to me at least, leads through moscow and tehran. absent russian backing for assad, i don't think that he would feel as empowered to use chemical weapons and to use efficient other type of terrorist tool in his tool kit to kill the syrian people. i think in the briefing that president trump gave on friday evening he mentioned diplomatic and financial pressure. if we are serious about getting russia to step back their support for assad, we have to levy costs that russia is not willing to bear like potentially additional sanctions for their support for assad. >> general, u.n. diplomats shared with cnn a french resolution we know is supported by the united states and united kingdom that calls for an independent investigation into the suspected chemical weapons attacks. explain the virtue of the investigation now. the u.s., the united kingdom, the french did not wait for the

opw to do their work before they struck two days ago. they said, the country said they had the evidence that they needed. why now are they calling for this investigation after the strikes? >> well, clearly the united states doesn't have to rely on an external body to act in its own interests and the security council made the decision that a strike from the chemical weapons and to destroy or mentally degrade and another discussion we could have, their capabilities going forward, was not relying upon an international body or determination. i think after the fact it's absolutely fine to open the door and say, look, let's have this investigation which really gets to the heart of assad's efforts rip large to try to sustain this effort. the united states had made the determination, based on the attack in douma, the good intelligence on that attack in douma to act and act very

quickly. now if the international community wants to have a follow on investigation, let's do that. but there has been a effort to degrade these capabilities. look. the chemical weapons that assad has will never be completely eliminated or taken off the table. they certainly have been degraded and reduce in their capabilities and i said i don't think is an idiot and not an irrational individual. he understands now that he probably should be a little more measured if he wants to try to butcher his people, he should use some other type of weapon system. i'm not trying to be flip or crude, but i assad has other means to destroy his population and he has demonstrated that but when he uses chemical weapons it's in our interest, both in our national interest and internationally to be a leader to eliminate that as best we can. >> there also a history here in that the united nations issued a report and conduct an investigation and saying the

regime was involved in using chemical weapons. we have that history and nothing happened. and so i think in this case, we probably had intelligence. obviously, our partners shared the conclusion that there was proof and that the regime is responsible for this attack and we were not willing to just get this information, sit on our hands and let it happen again. so i do think that we have to give the administration credit for taking action against something when there is clear evidence that there was wrong doing. >> general mark and samantha vinograd, we thank you. >> thank you. >> we will be right back. -looks great, honey. -right?

e-mail probe in other words making decisions based on the fact that she was going to win and he wanted a job. slime ball. >> that is the president this morning. just a reminder of how tables have turned for both parties let's go back to october 31 days before the election in grand rapids, michigan when the president, then candidate donald trump said this about the letter that former fbi director james comey sent to congress about the e-mails. >> it took guts for director comey to make the move that he made in light of the kind of opposition he had trying to protect her from criminal prosecution. you know that. it took a lot of guts. i really disagreed with him. what he did he brought back his
