What it was like to be in the White House when the first Mueller indictments came down - Duration: 3:49.JUDY WOODRUFF: We return now to yesterday's legal developments.
With the unsealing of criminal charges and pleas, Robert Mueller's Russia investigation
may have entered a new phase.
In public, the White House has distanced itself from Paul Manafort, Rick Gates and George
Papadopoulos, but how are the president and White House officials reacting behind the
scenes?
Ashley Parker of The Washington Post has been reporting on al this.
And she joins me now.
So, Ashley, I think you and your colleagues said in your story that you talked to 20-some
White House aides.
What is the sense you're getting from them of their handling -- how they're handling
this, how they react to this?
ASHLEY PARKER, The Washington Post: One thing that was striking was that the West Wing aides
and the president himself were finding out the way sort of we were and the rest of America
was, which was basically from news reports.
So we sort of got to see the president processing that as it happened.
So, for instance, after the first pair of indictments came down for Manafort and Gates,
there were two feelings.
One was, the president kind of felt vindicated.
He felt, you know, look, these guys are being looked into for alleged behavior that largely
predates my campaign.
The indictment didn't mention his name.
It didn't mention any possible collusion between his campaign and Russia.
So, he sort of tweets out a kind of frustrated, but "this isn't my issue, there's no collusion"
tweet.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Right.
ASHLEY PARKER: And then that next indictment comes down for George Papadopoulos, which
is potentially more problematic.
And, again, he uses the, as the White House has said, as you just said, he's someone who
was an unpaid volunteer.
He wasn't super senior.
But that -- he definitely touches Russia in a way that those people in the first indictment
didn't.
JUDY WOODRUFF: I noticed that the story quoted some in the White House -- I think it -- well,
it was the president's attorney Ty Cobb, saying that the president is just continuing his
business as usual.
He's not getting distracted by this.
But then the White House chief of staff, John Kelly, said in an interview last night on
FOX News that the president is distracted.
So, which is it do you think?
ASHLEY PARKER: I think you can argue that it's business as usual, only in the sense
that Russia has dogged this president and this White House since almost the very first
day.
But, look, I think he was frustrated.
We were told that he is frustrated not because he thinks he did anything wrong, but for precisely
the opposite reason.
He feels like he did absolutely nothing wrong and he doesn't understand why this just won't
go away and he keeps on getting dragged down.
We reported that this is a guy who lives above the shop, so to speak.
He stayed up in his residence longer than usual watching kind of TV, talking to his
lawyers, growing frustrated, but also sort of thinking in terms of like a crisis communications
manager, a legal analyst, before coming down to work in the Oval Office.
But then, by all accounts, while he was there during the day, I heard from people that there
were a number of meetings, and this didn't come up at all in the sort of pre- or post-meeting
chatter.
So I think the answer is, the truth lies in the middle somewhere.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Just very quickly, Ashley, what are you hearing about any potential presidential
pardon?
ASHLEY PARKER: So, the White House and the president's lawyers have said recently that
this is something that is not at all on his mind.
It's not something he's planning to do.
But our reporting from several weeks ago showed that the president had asked about precisely
this.
So, we know the president is sort of interested in understanding the full range of his pardon
powers.
That doesn't mean that, as of today, he's prepared to use them, but we know, with President
Trump, that could change in a second.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Ashley Parker, reporting to on the White House for The Washington Post,
thank you.
ASHLEY PARKER: Thank you.

What Zinedine Zidane Was Doing On His Phone After Girona Defeat Is Brilliant - Duration: 3:31.What Zinedine Zidane Was Doing On His Phone After Girona Defeat Is Brilliant
He may have been awarded The Best FIFA Mens Coach award last week, but many have criticised Zinedine Zidane after Real Madrid slumped to their second defeat of the La Liga season against Girona at the weekend.
Sky Sports journalist Guillem Balague said in his recent column that Zidane depends far too much on individual quality rather than the collective team.
He goes onto state that when things start to go wrong you need less of the man-manager and more of the coach. Is he right?.
Eight points behind Barcelona at this stage of the season will concern Los Blancos fans, but what we can guarantee is that Zidane will learn from his mistakes.

On the way out of the Montilivi stadium, Spanish TV cameras caught Zidane on his phone after the defeat and now it has been confirmed what the Real Madrid manager was watching.
Zidane was looking at highlights from Madrids 2-1 defeat to Girona - proof of his meticulous ways when it comes to analysing and improving his team.
As you see in the footage below, the 45-year-old was looking at clips on the team bus:.

Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos confirmed that Zidane was watching parts of the game on his phone after the game, saying: we do not ignore the situation in Girona but it is true that it was a bittersweet feeling because we can not leave more points.
On the bus we are going to his world, making self-criticism with his films.
Zidane is watching the game.
The usual thing in this team is to analyse everything the next day..

Zidanes incredible will to win is quite clear.
He wants to learn from his mistakes and quickly find a solution - a quality that will make him a bigger and better manager in the coming years.
The former Real Madrid midfielders determination is certainly admirable.
