Everybody on Devin Dwyer live at ABC news headquarters in New York happy Wednesday morning to you were following all the biggest stories today here at ABC news. Including a number of storms that are popping across the middle part of the country this morning warrants or watch they check in up the radar. Started a fire up a little bit in the plains there were eighteen tornadoes last night over three states. Arguably needed is live out wall not Iowa where some of that you can from the damage behind him articulate geo in just a second but first. Wanna start at the White House a lot of big headlines pop in overnight our Karen Travers is there good morning Karen. Obviously the biggest headline of the morning as the Washington Post reporting confirmed by ABC. That Robert Wallerstein special counsel has threatened a possible subpoena. The president answer their questions. Karen is the pro with the president's team saying about this. Yet his came in a meeting with Robert Mueller and the president's lawyers in early march DeVon and Mueller himself said that he could compel the president to testify if he. Declined an interview request he could do that through a grand jury subpoena. The president's former attorney John Dowd confirmed on the record. That that request of that statement from Mahler did happen. And that they could push back very strongly saying that this is not a gain that's what Dowd said he told Robert Mueller. He said you are screwing with the work the president. Of the United States now DeVon the key question of course it. What the president's. Thinking right now on what he wants to do you about an interview with Robert Mueller because of course he has said. Many times over the last few months he wants to do it he's willing to do you do it under he's eager to do it. Does this change the calculation. And and where is his thinking right now yesterday stairs enters the white house Press Secretary would not answer. Any questions related to the. The Russia probe referring everything to the outside lawyers that's right of course those lawyers have been poring over precedent. Presidential subpoenas. Legal minds greater than ours have looked at this and at but the bottom line is historical precedent indicates the president would have a really hard time. Getting out of the subpoena in former to come but. If you were to appear Karen before grand jury he could do do take a couple of of options right he could refuse to answer questions. Because he could plead and you know I think you're right when you say that. Supreme Court has looked at this forum whether or not the president is above the loss actually outside the initial system it. They have ruled no the president could be compelled to do this. I think here is that he ongoing negotiations about what an interview with president trump and Robert Mueller could even look like. Have been taking place for several months and on the table are the potential of it in person interview president trump and Robert Mueller and his team. Doing a face to face it Downey answering questions or perhaps a written questionnaire and a third option could be some combination of the two. We were told that these negotiations stalled between John Dowd quit abruptly in March but they have been picked back up in earnest in recent weeks. Rudy Giuliani of course doing the president's legal team that started the conversation once. That's right and they're looking staring down that list of 49. Topics that mullet once asked which came out in the. In the headlines yesterday of course the presence team. Wanted to keep him from that interview Karen obviously that's going to be a big headline to watch it and they should. Tell everybody we are interviewing ABC news has an exclusive interview today with White House lawyer Ty Cobb to respond to all of this. That's what our White House correspondent John Carlson stay tuned for more here at ABC news. On that want to turn to another series of headlines sort of a bizarre had stretcher headline involving the president's personal doctor. Prior to taking the White House Karen his name is doctor Harold Bornstein you may remember on with that funny hair. I but he's making some pretty wild claims the past couple of days. Data first claim from doctor Bornstein that last November. There were a couple representatives of trump world first and of the president's longtime body guard and at that time. A key official here in the west wing. As a Trump Organization lawyer who showed his office in New York last February and took all of the president's medical records act Bornstein had been treating president for several decades so obviously has an extensive history there. And he said it was a week that they came in they took it and not very violated yesterday the White House asked about this and Sarah Sander said. It's standard operating procedure that when somebody is sworn in as president their personal doctor would turn over at the medical records to the White House medical unit makes sense but. The way Dr. dean is describing it doesn't sound like standard operating procedure now of course everybody will remember him as you mention for his hair but also that statement. He put outdoor campaign about the president's house when he said that if elected he'd be healthy it's individual to you ever served as president. He is now saying according to report cost now it's that. Heat right back that he was dictated to him by Donald Trump and DeVon I got a thing anybody that's read the president's tweets or paid attention to what he's been saying over the last couple years. Would not be surprised to know that is with the president's words. Not his doctor's words that's right I was actually re reading it's fascinating to read read that letter he said that the president's physical strength and stamina. Or extraordinary on and on over the top hyperbole about the president's health. Certainly a wild story the White House we should stay though Karen. Hasn't refuted the notion that the president dictated that thing. That is her act and you know it's interesting given. That at the time you had Donald Trump blasting his rivals Hillary Clinton for her health talking about transparency and disclosure and now it says that really we have. Very little to no about the president's medical his. Hurry from before he took office all right we'll finish up at the president on the move this morning he is leaving the White House he is on its way to the State Department. For the very first time visiting his new secretary of state Mike Pompeo. David Pompeo their carriers promising to bring some swagger back to the American diplomatic corps. At the great word for Donald Trump yours for sure the president really likes Mike Pompeo and the fact that this is his first ever visit to the State Department away. Rex Tillerson was over there is going for the swearing in ceremony and the press yesterday singled out Mike Pompeo at an event here at the White House seats and he's doing a great job but he also said. He's getting a lot more publicity lately that he is which as we know Devens advocates of that around here you don't get to payment you know get more Amos and president trump but. But I'm his seems to be safe president likes. And our editor terrific ABC's Karen Travers at the White House Karen thank you so much all over the headlines. Of course the other big stories of the day involved whether these scary look and tornadoes take a look at the pictures here out in the plains eighteen last night over three states.
