dealing with this issue day-by-day. one of the most important things that we can continue to say, which really matters to the president, is that when it comes to the governor justice they are independent. we are very different from the last administration. we want to make sure that their independence has brought back to the department of justice. so we just do not comment on the need destinations that are currently happening. there s no other water is just one or any other investigation. we ve been very consistent about that. i will leave it there not comment about and let the department of justice do their job. fine, but i was still asked this next question. what is the white house s reaction to abc news reporting that last month, trump s legal counsel recently found yet another classified document that his mar-a-lago residents, and that this one may have been duplicated onto an eight s computer? come on. department of justice. i m gonna give it to, them let them do their independ
