There was more bad news on that front. A new poll found that 38 of americans approve of the way donald trump is handling his job as president. 56 disapprove. It also found that just 24 trust almost all or most of what they hear from the white house. 73 say they trust some or nothing at all of what they hear from the white house. Hours before that poll was released the president wrote on twitter the trump basis is stronger and bigger than ever before. He saved his toughest criticism from a sitting u. S. Senator.

blumenthal. He told about his conquests, how brave he was and it was all a lie. He cries like a baby and begged for forgiveness like a child. Now he judges collusion. More than eight and a half hours later he finished with this. I think senator Blumenthal Shauld should take a long vacation in vietnam so he could at least say h
Speaking on behalf of the administration on the message of that day. So in those instances, they feel like they dont need to have a press briefing. But as you and i both know, there have been many occasions where the president has a spray or something in the oval office, talks to reporters a little bit and they still have a press briefing.

That is why its no mystery, i guess, that he was defending Sinclair Broadcasting early this morning and going after news outlets like our own which, of course, like to ask those questions they dont want to answer at the press briefing. All right, jim, thank you. Jim acosta reporting from the white house. Were also following the progress of that caravan. The caravan, as its Accident Call as its being called, seek

Republicans. There will be survivors of the parkland massacre, meaning the kids who hid in a closet and watched their best friends die. And there will be the National Rife a Rifle Association all in one room. Youve covered these after a horrible tragedy, they retreat and dig in and dont engage with each other. But tonight thats not going to be possible. Everybody is going to be on this one stage together. They have to confront the students who are demanding answers.

Former u. S. Attorney. Julia, this is your reporting. Youre part of the team at nbc news that discovered this approach. What more do we know about it . Lawrence, on the one hand it seems obvious. We know two weeks ago special Counsel Robert Mueller delivered a scathing indictment of 13 Russian Hackers not just hackers but influencers. Those were people able to get into social media and influence the way the election was being talked about to sow some distrust in the process. But what we have thats significant here is that a lot of information has recently been turned over to Robert Mueller from the Intelligence Community. This is information that includes the electronic signatures, malware the methods i dont think so. Theres never been a precedent for the United States indicting an elected foreign leader, even a country we dislike like russia. So i dont think were going to see that.
