South, mexico, over a dispute about mr. Trumps border wall. Chief White House Correspondent john roberts is keeping up with all of this, he is live on the north laundry now. Just fielding some phone calls. There is so much happening today, and basically all week with his white house, and any one of those things that you mentioned wouldve been a full day of news, but covering this place, particularly in this first week has been kind of like trying to soak up the ocean with a sponge.

One of the things he said was that the trump team had not needed to seek security clearance for retired general flynn because he already had it. He had a fiveyear security clearance that carried with him so he didnt need to put a whole new list of things for that process. That means it was under the Obama Administration. The implication was that somehow the trump team of today was saying the Obama Administration should have looked more carefully about flynn and his financial dealings and any contacts or conflicts we had the rules with respect to his russia visit. So heres how sean spicer tried to explain the fact flynn had clearance and didnt need a new one. General flynn was a
