Royal family. But its his answer on gun violence that you must listen to. And invoking a privilege. The Trump Administration instructs two more white house officials to ignore congressional subpoenas. This morning the president is facing the strongest resistance from his own gop senators to date over his threatened tariffs on mexico. Kelly odonnell and cnbc kayla toury join me now. What exactly are the republicans saying . Theyre trying a preemptive strike, steph. Theyre counsel at the white house where there were strong feelings sent to the white house in conversations with republican senators. What theyre hoping is the president will not move forward with this. Thats important because its questionable what method they could use to block it. They could try some legislative action but thats fraught with its own problems because the house would be unlikely to go along where the president has much more support with republicans there. Certainly democrats would have the numbers. But this i

Path today. The New York Times reports on the development this way, secretary of state mike pompeo threw up the first potential roadblock when he told lawmakers in a letter Tuesday Morning that a demand from three house committees for american diplomats to sit for depositions this week amounted to an act of intimidation and did not allow enough time for the state department to properly respond.

Of course, Hillary Clinton subjecting herself to questions from the body in which pompeo once served. A move that pompeo today describes as intimidation.

Well, a person familiar with his thinking told the Associated Press that barr was, quote, surprised and angry to learn that trump had lumped him in with giuliani on that call with the ukrainian president.
