demand that the department hand over the report and that they intend to make it public. the white house may counter by asserting you guessed it executive privilege to prevent key findings from being turned over. president trump s attorney rudy giuliani spoke to fox news after the bloomberg piece was published this morning. he said, we prefer that as much of the report as possible is public. we believe a selective release would be problematic, but giuliani did not rule out the white house invoking executive privilege. saying further, and we quote we will enter that review process with no preconceptions about blocking material but until our team reviews the report, we cannot waive executive privilege. well, here to talk about all of it, our friend, maya wiley. these days a professor at the news school. counselor, i have a number of questions for you. first of all, the calendar, when you hear that month, february, in a report, do you put much stock in that? there s a lot you and i
bursting dam. this young girl was 2 years old. that is another one of these stories that we are documenting as we understand where this policy is going. i m joined now as mentioned by i thought trump backed down, which he partly did, and i thought america as a country with safeguards, no matter who is president, why is this happening to children this young in court right now? yeah, i mean, the trump administration is doing anything they can to put fear in immigrants to do everything they can to stop them from crossing the border and so even in the face of the american public and law, they won t stop the policy. they will just give it makeover. we played before the break donald trump, asserting,
