Story here in a moment. President trump was asked about these horrific condition at the border and the new border aid bill that was just passed by the house. Here is what he said. Im not happy with it. Theres no money for protection. Its like were running hospitals over there now. People are coming up. Had an people dont understand is you have separation. Separation is a terrible thing of the families and i said im going to put people together but thats going to mean more people coming up. Ellie johnson, first off, we need to fact check. He said hes putting people together. Thats not at all what happened. The president often likes to point the finger to his predecessor for things going wrong. While its true that some family separations occurred under president obama, President Trump explicitly revised this policy under the advice and guidance of his immigration adviser and steven miller. It happened under President Trump and weve often seen immigration policies become controversial whe
President trump weighing in on the debates, gearing up for the g20 summit. Sandra back at home, the 2020 hopefuls heading on everything from medicare for all, taxing the rich, and immigration. Its it is just not a human right, it should be an american right, and i believe that the best way to get there is medicare for all. It is a basic human right, and i will fight for basic human rights. Abolish their private Health Insurance in favor of a government run plan. Just a show of hands. All right. I think the choice is fundamental. Private insurance is not working for tens of millions of americans. They deserve a president who will put your interest ahead of the rich and powerful. Pharma thinks they own washington. Well, they dont. It is not right that the ceo of mcdonalds makes 2,100 more times than the people serving at mcdonalds. Im talking about everybody else. I am still talking about everybody else. Just one small part of this. Im talking about a comprehensive rewrite of our immigra
Suggesting that Kamala Harris is not a black american and thus should not be an authority on issues of race. Here was the reaction from her fellow 2020 democrats. From joe biden, the same forces of hatred rooted in birtherism that questioned Barack Obamas american citizenship and even his racial identity are now being used against senator Kamala Harris. Its disgusting and we have to call it out when we see it. Racism has no place in america. From amy klobuchar, these trollfueled racist attacks on senator Kamala Harris are not acceptable. We are better than this. From Bernie Sanders, donald trump jr. Is a racist too, shocker. Scott jennings is a former special assistant to president bush, and scott bolden, d. C. Democratic party chair. Scott bolden first. The family of trump hate to be considered racists yet they seem to involve themselves, whether its ignorance or otherwise, in what is racially offensive and its so unnecessary. Kamala harris has jamaicanborn parents. She was born in am

California senator taking command of the debate stage more than once.

Tonight. Were just hours away from the first democratic debate of the 2020 president ial race with senator Elizabeth Warren coming in hot and with a target on her podium. Welcome to the lead, im jake tapper. We begin with the politics lead, quote, does it ever stop . That question coming from President Trump after finding out that special Counsel Robert Mueller is being forced by congress to testify publicly on july 17th in what may be the most anticipated testimony of the Trump Presidency so far. Mueller will answer questions from the members of the house judiciary and Intelligence Committee after being slapped with a subpoena. Now mueller made clear in his view his 448page report was his official statement and the only one he wants to give but House Democrats are eager to question the special counsel about the evidence he uncovered and whether he would have charged the president with obstruction of justice but for Justice Department precedent that a sitting president cannot be indict
