The president now . No. I dont, no i dont have nothing to say to him. Lets remember, general john kelly deployed his considerable stature to back trump and frame this as fight between a serious president and loud, lying member of congress. Then the tape surfaced showing it was kelly who had his facts wrong and today miss johnsons remarks it show you you can take congresswoman out of the picture and still have word of grieving mother contradicting the word of president. A president who has broken records for his misleading and false statements in office. General kelly, it is not too late for you. You can correct this record so we can all move on. But asking people to move on without correcting the record isnt moving on at all. In fact it is contrary to the

and that is exactly why this white house is a hard time staying on message and getting anything done. no one is sure of their future. no one is sure of who s in charge. and no one is sure what the president wants. sarah huckabee sanders will brief reporters in a moment. so our big question today is, what does the president want? the best people or just a bunch of sycophants? peter alexander is at the white house, betsy wood rough is a politics report for the daily beast and msnbc contributor and michael crowley from politico. peter, let s start with you. how is the white house responding to all these rumors? i ask that because in the past when they said nobody is leaving or so-and-so is not leaving, that person has left, be it, i don t know, flynn or reince
