when ivanka trump does it. but the white house press secretary wouldn't dare say anything like that today. she wouldn't dare disagree with the president who says that the news media is the enemy of the people. ivanka trump also said this today. >> i am very vehemently against family separation. and the separation of parents and children. >> very vehemently. not vehemently enough to resign from her job working for a president who would do such a thing. not vehemently enough to actually go to the southern border when her father was ripping those children away from their parents and witness it all up close and report back to him on what his cruelty actually looks like. not vehemently enough to visit the children in their cages in texas. not vehemently enough to try to find the infant babies when no one knew where they were, infant babies in her father's custody. she didn't feel it vehemently enough to go down there and see how the girls were being treated to make sure that the boys and the girls were safe from abu

>> there aren't that many opportunities for ivanka trump to be publicly asked questions like this. it's not as though she's on the talk circuit. she's not sitting down with magazines and newspapers all the time. she has a very controlled public persona. this is a pretty rare thing to see her in a setting like this being questioned by journalists rather than from someone like dr. oz. that's why i think we haven't gotten a response from her like this before. i don't know if we should thank her. i don't think the bar should be that low where people get praised for something that's obvious. but i do think this is probably a reason why she is not typically out there being questioned by journalists. when she's asked questions like this with an obvious answer for a sane human being she does sometimes, i guess, believe things that are in opposition to what her father believes and what the administration believes. but i don't think that she really did stand in opposition to what trump has said about the child separation policy. she said that she opposed it. as you know in the previous conve

so that line of questioning came after white house adviser and first daughter ivanka trump told axios co-founder michael len yesterday that tlen -- mike allen is not the enemy of the people, breaking with her father on that. >> do you think the word the enemy of the people -- >> sorry? >> is the enemy of the people? >> no, i do not. >> president trump though later tweeted this. they asked my daughter ivanka whether or not the media is the enemy of the people. she correctly said no. it is the fake news, which is a large percentage of the media, that is the enemy of the people. >> all right. so white house senior adviser ivanka trump also broke with her father's administration yesterday on its decision to separate hundreds of migrant children from their parents. take a listen. >> that was a low point for me as well. i feel very strongly about that, and -- and i am very vehemently against family separation and the separation of parents and children. >> so meanwhile ivanka, who has also been an outspoken supporter of paid family leave, says the issue will need the support of both republic

ivanka trump describing what she says was a, quote, low point in the white house. and answering questions about the meeting in trump tower after russians promised dirt on hillary clinton. did ivanka know about it? the president tonight responding to his own daughter's words, and abc's kyra phillips leading us off. >> reporter: they were the pictures that stunned the nation. migrant children in detention centers, thousands of them separated from their parents by the trump administration. today, ivanka trump speaking out for the first time, describing it as low point for her. >> a low point in the white house for a number of your colleagues was the kids at the border issue. what is your view of that? >> yes. that was a low point for me, as well. i feel very strongly about that, and i am very vehemently against family separation. i am a daughter of an immigrant. my mother grew up in communist czech republic, but we are a country of laws. >> reporter: at an axios forum today, the president's daughter, and senior white house adviser, also asked about the president's rep

ivanka trump's reaction was baffling in that regard. she effectively suggested that the question was ridiculous. in fact, her family seems to believe the press is the enemy of the people. >> ivanka also told michake all that they are not responsible for the separation of the families at the border. why isn't ivanka trump applauded for breaking with her father? she wasn't applauded for it at home. should she be applauded for showing break here and showing she is willing to stand up and have her own voice? >> i think a lot of people may be with you on that. she did break with her father. that is difficult of itself. the other end of the spectrum will say how is she doing when she asked about breaking with her father. what is she doing to help shift policies? i think that is one of the big criticisms of her with the family separation thing. she has been opposed to it. did she do -- what did she do to help shift her father? that is what people are saying. speaking is one thing. >> i understand that. what we have seen from the presidency is

i would just like to say to ivanka trump. the thing for her to do if she opposes family separation, there are children today, tonight, who will still go to sleep not knowing where their parents are because of donald trump's policies. my suggestion to ivanka trump is maybe she should do something about that. we are talking months where children have been separated from their parents and white house advisers should actually do something and not just talk about it. >> there was another issue from which she separated from her president. we cover contradictions. here is another issue where she separated from her father and had to do with whether or not reporters are the enemy of the american people. >> a few days ago i called the fake news the enemy of the people and they are. they are the enemy of the people. >> i do not feel that the media is the enemy of the people. >> trump followed that up with a tweet saying she said no. it is the fake news which is a large percentage of the media that is the enemy of the people. how do you

at the end of the day, president trump is the president, ivanka is not. i think what is interesting, we have seen over the course of the past year and a half that trump has been president, ivanka inserts herself in the public, providing that contrast. at the same time, during key issues, she does not. for example, family separations at the border. we heard from ivanka after the fact that the president reversed that, in that executive order and she has said that was a low moment of the presidency, i'm paraphrasing, but she expressed that. she did not come forward in that time. you have the question of ivanka's influence. at the end of the day, when you look at the president's behavior, the way he tweets and talks about situations, it really does raise the question of what is her influence? i don't think it's apparent in terms of his public statements. >> what is her end game? it's not just pr for her, is it? >> she is a business person. she is a brand in her own right and someone who is rumored to have aspirations beyond this role in the white house. i wor

so this is an occasion where ivanka trump did a lot less. i guess what doesn't add up is the low point for something she was a part of, she works there. she has the most senior rank in the white house, on the white house staff there's nobody higher than an assistant to the president. she is either a totally impotent, ineffectual assistant to the president who suffered a low point i guess by watching what her father did that she had no ability to influence or she feels bad -- i just don't understand what she's trying to say. >> it's the same problem with ivanka and the family members serving as senior officials that has been plaguing her since day one when she joined the information. either she's an ineffectual adviser who has no power to influence her father, or she's, you know, doing pr and damage control for herself when she says now that she's vehement my opposed because, as you said, she didn't actually visit the southern border as melania trump did. neither of those are great options for her and i don't see a third way to interpret this

. >> and ivanka trump breaking with her father on two issues, calling the separation of families at the border a low point of the presidency so far. are her words enough? let's start with kaitlyn collins. good morning. >> it was such a rare day yesterday. they gathered, they were candid, they were blunt, yes, the threat from russia is real, but there was one thing michiganing, the president, it came among a very awkward backdrop. we asked everything. we got along really well. we're being ind hindered by the hoax. >> down playing it once again after he briefed reporters about interfering in the upcoming elections. >> we continue to see a pervasive messaging campaign by russia to try to weaken and divide the united states. >> our democracy itself is in the cross hairs. >> they attempted to interfere in the last election and continues to engage in operations to this day. >> the show of force stating in stark contrast to the messages from the president. >> russia's meddling in the 2016 election took place. could be other people also. but they insist he takes it seriously. he instructed his

daughter ivanka trump said earlier this morning with mike allen. that is not only the president's daughter disagreeing with the president of the united states, it is an employee who works under the president. the president doesn't usually take too kindly to his subordinates going in another direction. so when ivanka trump says, no, the media are not the enemy of the people, i think that's very interesting. i suppose sarah sanders will be asked about that. at the same time, there are all kinds of other weighty issues about what rudy giuliani said yesterday with respect to the president and these legal options that they're apparently weighing behind the scenes, as to whether or not the president will sit down with robert mueller's team and answer questions about some of these areas they want to cover as we've been reporting. the mueller team is floating the possibility of whittling down some of these questions in order to entice the president's cooperation. i can tell you from talking to my own sources, sources that are familiar with these discussion

ivanka trump is right, the press is not the enemy of the american people. sarah sanders was less inclined to do that because she has been hurt by the correspondent's dinner. putting personal feelings aside and stating what's true, it is tough for them. they have to defend their boss that says the press is the enemy of the people, the media is the enemy of the people. having worked for george h.w. bush was the best for america and the media is not the enemy of the people. >> is sarah sanders obliged to avoid contradicting the president on this? >> every great press secretary that i've worked with or that i've known in democratic and republican administrations has permission from the president himself to often disagree but more importantly more often to make fun, to use humor to diffuse. what we're seeing today is a concentrated effort to create physical fear among journalists that they fear for their safety, to destroy credibility, even though ironically the people that disseminate fake news is fox news, national inquire remember, am radio, and worst of all

when he ran his business, the trump organization, he ran it with don jr., ivanka and eric trump. their offices were one floor blow h-- below his and they wer involved in the projects. that has transferred into his political life. they were major surrogates on the -- during the campaign. a little less tiffany trump as well. and then, you know, now in the white house we have ivanka trump and her husband, jared kushner, being involved. ivanka and jared have tried to -- and ivanka in particular -- walk this fine line where they publicly break with the president on certain things and then not with others. it's become a washington cliche. the president will make a perhaps unpopular decision or decision perhaps unpopular with the manhattan liberals that ivanka trump and jared kushner used to live among and we would have leaks and whispers after the fact saying, well, ivanka and jared tried to rein him in. this would be more conservative if they didn't play that role to the point where it's a tired cliche in washington and jared and ivanka have had their influence diminish for a while. i

how effective ivanka trump really is in her white house role. >>> but we have new this hour, a leading house intel committee member with pretty sharp words for the republican party on the president as he escalates his attack on special counsel robert mueller and the investigation. here's what democratic congressman eric swalwell told my colleague joy reid in the last hour. >> this issue is on top of the mind, not so much what they're going to do with the russians, they're going to let bob mueller find out but what is the president going to do with the rule of law and who is willing to stand up to him as he is a wrecking ball. i think republicans are going to pay the price this november. >> meanwhile, the president is right on the heels of his pennsylvania campaign foray on thursday. and troy balderson is in a title race with democrat danny o'connor. >>> also now today, another wrinkle in the russia saga. "the washington post" reporting that maria butina, quote, cozied up to the ex-aide near the end of the race. that ex-aide is j.d. gordon who served as trump's director of national secu

that was ivanka trump yesterday acknowledging the impact of her father's policy on herself. the policy that tore children from their parents at the u.s. border. ivanka has never talked about the topic, other than congratulating her father over twitter after he stopped the policy that he created. yet hundreds, possibly thousands, of children's lives still hang in the balance, but that was a low point for her. so these kids are sitting in detention facilities. they're at "summer camp" some would say, facing potentially never seeing their seeing their again. >> but also a low point for the administration, as into suggest that it's not like -- it's something that happened to the administration as opposed to something that the administration inflicted on these children. a low point for the administration. like the weather. >> a low point for her. i just want to say that because ivanka trump has her own political aspirations you're going to have to do this a little better. you'll have to try and act like you care. you have to try and act like people are not merchandise products. y
