Has worked with men going off the reservation, good evening, im erin burnett. Outfront tonight, breaking news, donald trump reaching a major milestone, officially he has more than a thousand delegates, he is 235 away from clinching the nomination outright. This comes as protesters greet him in california as he arrives to make a speech today. Demonstrators clashing with police, at times breaking through the police line. Some arrested, one young woman arrested. As police use the batons to keep them away. The trump group was delayed more than an hour. There his motorcade had to stop, he got out, led to his suv into the hall by a back entrance to escape the mayhem. That was not the easiest entrance i have ever made. My wife called and said there are helicopters following you. And then we did, and went under a fence and through a fence. Oh, boy, felt like i was crossing the border, actually. You know . The riot gear and protests coming after a night of violence outside a california trump ra
Delegates . Bern moment. Since Hillary Clinton swept the early voting south, Bernie Sanders claims the election calendar, quote, distorts reality while his wife tells cnn the process isnt democratic at all.

Live at our roundtable. Hello im jake tapper in washington where the state of our union is a bit hungover. This towns Biggest Party the White House Correspondents Association dinner which critics find appalling selfcongratulatory symbol with all thats going on in washington stretched into the wee hours of the morning. President obama cracking jokes at the expense of the media, congress, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and of course donald trump. Im a little hurt hes not here tonight. We had so much fun the last time. And it is surprising. You got a room full of supporters, celebrities, cameras, and he says no. Is this dinner too tacky for the donald . What could he possibly be doing instead . Is he at home eating a trump steak, tweeting out insults to Angela Merkel . Whats he doing . The president s also anticipated what that dinner might look like in 2017. Next year at this time someone else will be standing here in this very spot and its anyones guess who she will be, but a general e

Does he carry on . They actually suggest that he disguise himself, that he wear different kinds of clothing. He doesnt want to do that. What president wants to arrive in the National Capital for his inauguration as though he was afraid . Reluctantly, lincoln agrees. For additional security, he travels on an unmarked train. Still, hes taking a huge risk. He has to go through baltimore where known confederate sympathizers are lying in wait. The threat to his life is very real at that moment. Lincoln makes it to the capital. He escapes the assassins plot, for now. Inauguration day dawns on a chilly washington. And its a chill that comes not so much from the weather as from the anxiety that something desperate is going to be attempted. The army is lined up along pennsylvania avenue in case of attac
