But with great concerns about exactly whose side theyre on and that should be a matter of concern again you look at the mood of the congress.

The attorney general faced questions about controversial decisions made by the Justice Department we have Jessica Schneider now with a closer look. Made from bill barr standing his ground the president has not attempted to interfere in these decisions in the longawaited showdown between the attorney general and House Democrats years old and from that he is not using his position to do the president s bidding on the contrary he has told me from the start he expects me to exercise my independent judgment to make whatever call i think is right and that is precisely what ive done ive democrats laid into him shame on you mister barak accusing him of politicizing protests around the country by sending in federal agents in appropriately stepping in to investigate the origins of the russia probe and protecting the president s allies like Michael Flynn and roger stone but barr pushed back. You say i helped the president s friends. Cases that are cited the stone case and the flynn case, both cases where i determined. That some intervention was necessary to rectify the rule of law to make sure people are treated the same i agree the president s friends dont deserve special breaks but they also dont deserve to be treated more harshly than other people.

And reach the goals and aspirations of our late iconic john boehner and republicans went on the attack accusing democrats of targeting the attorney general because he has ordered a probe into the origins of the russia investigation and because of the agees previous assertion, the Trump Campaign was spied on. Spying on a Political Campaign is a big deal it sure is. And since that day. Since that day. When you had the courage estate, the truth they attack you theyve been attacking you every cent. Well i was just night of reporting this is bars or was his first appearance before the House Judiciary Committee as President Trumps attorney general.

Its everywhere doctor julie way, shun pie and says covid19 is spreading all over stanislas county with the highest rate of new infections in the state last week but as the Public Health officer she was still surprised to see the spike in cases among children ages 5 to 18. Because we do know that kids get infected less and that they spread last the receptor that the virus binds to in the respiratory tract isnt as well developed in children. But kids are far from a new across the county 204 children ages 5 to 18 were diagnosed with the virus over a nineday period thats nearly a 3rd of the 670 children who have tested positive since the pandemic began its just kind of mirror.

Im Jessica Mensch fox 40 news. Well President Trump is reiterating his support for the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine and hes doing it. Despite Health Experts continuing to caution people against taking that drug and several studies suggest it provides no benefit for coronavirus patients. The president also retweeted a video featuring a doctor who claims that masks dont work and that there is a cure for covid19. Both of which are not true. Now the video was deleted by twitter for containing false information and when asked about that video the president said he knew nothing about the doctor that it featured but that he thought it was important for people to hear what was said. She was on air along with many other doctors. There were big fans of hydroxychloroquinn and i thought she was very impressive in the sense that from where she came i dont know which country she comes from, but she said that shes had tremendous success with hundreds of different patients. And i thought her voice was an important voice, but i know nothing about her. Again that clip fluid flies in the face of the very guidance.
