Executive order on immigration. Administration seeming to push back and say this is all about safety and what happened over the weekend, not a huge deal. O. Reporter that has been the line the administration has been putting out, and the background briefing late sunday. It was not particularly surprising to hear sean spicer pick that up. Listen to one part of the executive order and then well talk about it on the other side. The people that needed to be kept in the loop, were kept in the loop. The people that needed to be briefed were. Again, i think that this is largely overblown. When you look at the context of how big this was and the number of people that caught up, its relatively minor as a percentage of the overall total. So, when you look at how this worked on a saturday, 109 people out of 325,000 were slowed down going in. I truly believe that it is being blown out of proportion. Reporte two quick points to make on this. That sound bite from sean spicer largely encapsulates the
Paid Christopher Steele, and if so, how much, and also who paid them . Was it republicans, donors, republican or democratic donors, both. Were they on the payroll of any Russian Companies . This is all very pertinent information to the ongoing russia investigation. Melissa peter doocy is live on capitol hill. What new details do you have . Melissa, the former british spy who compiled 35 pages of unverified intel alleging collusion was gathering that information, the sensational claims on behalf of the Clinton Campaign. A Clinton Campaign lawyer hired a firm called fusion gps who hired this former british spy, Christopher Steele and put him on the case. This newly disclosed money trail means that the tables have turned on the russia story line according to republican allies of President Trump. What amazes me for a year the democrats have been whining and whining and whining and saying they lost because of the russians. Now it looks like it is really their subterfuge and their ideas, the
The Homeland Security secretary Kirstjen Nielsen speaking at the White House Briefing momentarily. Well have live coverage. President trump continues to falsely blame democrats where this new policy. The First Lady Melania Trump is among those speaking out against it and all four former first ladies have now also condemned what is happening along the border. Lets go to our senior White House Correspondent jeff zeleny standing by for the briefing. This is a significant moment were about to see. It certainly is. The white house has struggled throughout the day and the last several days and certainly the last hours explaining and defending this immigration policy. We heard the president earlier today essentially act as his best spokesperson, essentially defending and doubling down on what he believes is the right policy. But again of course blaming democrats for this. Take a listen to what he said earlier today. The United States will not be a migrant camp and it will not be a refugee hol
No to turning over his taxes, but what does the law say . What is his ability to say no . A brand new interview and were going to test it with a very capable guest, a former attorney general who knows the law. Who knows the current attorney general very well. What does he make of all of this . What do you say. Lets get after it. To impeach or not to impeach, that is a question. Why all the waffling . The handwringing. Some democrats all in. Other democrats all over the map. Why . Take a listen. Accountability has to come from the congress and the tools that we are given for that accountability is the impeachment process. I believe congress should take the steps towards impeachment. If for the next year, year and a half going right into the heart of the election all the congress is talking about is impeaching trump and trump, trump, trump, and mueller, mueller, i worry that works to trumps advantage. The impeachment proceedings are up to the house. Theyll have to make the decision. Ill
Fully see that Mueller Report. And many other things. Weve been showing you whats been going on with the president and the last little while. We are continuing to follow him as he heads to lima, ohio. Chief White House Correspondent john roberts was there for all of this. Hes on the north lawn. John, we went everywhere from the Mueller Report to pakistan, to a map that the president showed on defeating isis in syria. First of all, lets talk about the Mueller Report. This is interesting. We have heard for the last two days almost every day that todays the day the Mueller Report was going to drop. We thought it was going to be last thursday, then friday. Then we heard it might be today. Now we are hearing it might be tomorrow. Who knows . And then we have also been wondering what the president s position on the Mueller Report would be. We found out today that he does want the public to see it. He said, let it come out. Though he is still miffed about the fact that Jeff Sessions recused h
