2/9 - Sen. Bill Hagerty, Rep. Ilhan Omar, Rep. Mike McCaul

Anthony Salvanto, CBS News director of elections and surveys, tells "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" that President Trump has a 53% approval rating in his first weeks in office."He's doing, in the eyes of the public, what he said he would do in the campaign," Salvanto said. Republican Rep. Michael McCaul of Texas, the former chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee who had once been a big supporter of USAID, tells "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" that the organization "needs to return to the core mission principles." But McCaul said he would urge the administration to "move more expeditiously" on implementing waivers for humanitarian aid that had been paused. Republican Sen. Bill Hagerty of Tennessee, an ally of President Trump, tells "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" that he believes there is a "tremendous appetite" for Mr. Trump to dismantle and consolidate USAID. Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota tells "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" that as the Trump administration has steamrolled forward with executive orders to dismantle USAID and the Department of Education as well accessing the Treasury Department records because the president doesn't "have the support" among Republicans in Congress. USAID was founded in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy as a way to exert American strength abroad and had only accounted for less than 1% of the federal budget before the Trump administration began its campaign to dismantle it. It isn't clear why this sliver of spending is the first focus of the so-called efficiency project, but it feels like a demolition — and perhaps a preview of the future for other public servants. Amid the Trump administration's bureaucratic overhaul, CBS News Justice Department correspondent Scott MacFarlane, chief legal correspondent Jan Crawford, CBS News homeland security contributor Sam Vinograd and CBS News cybersecurity expert and analyst Chris Krebs join "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" to discuss the impact.
