Will they tradein sults instead of jokes. Ivanka trump back on the campaign trail defending her father. Can she save the brand . I am wolf blitzer. Youre in the situation room. Donald trump now says he will accept the results of the election if he wins. But the republican nominee today still reserving his right to contest what he calls a questionable result. Trump has been drawing scathing criticism since last nights debate when he refused to pledge to accept the election outcome. Yet again, key republicans are being forced to distance themselves from trumps comments. Trump spoke today in ohio where a new poll shows him tied with Hillary Clinton. Clinton is off the campaign trail today, but she and trump will both appear later tonight at a Charity Dinner in new york city where its traditional for candidates to crack jokes about each other. After the exchange of insults in last nights debate, any jokes could have a knife edge to them. Clinton is represented on the campaign trail today b
Ever given in Lawrence Odonnell teases ever. Thats what youre going to see tonight. All right. Youre going to see that thing that President Trump did today that i agree with word for word. It finally happened on is this day 97 . Dreaming. Get home and watch, that rachel. I will. Thank you, lawrence. Also, as the clock ticks down on the president s first 100 days, if they cant have legislative achievements, at least, at least they can have legislative announcements. And so today was all about taxes, which in the Trump White House always comes back to trump tax returns. This is going to be the biggest tax cut. This is not a plan. This is a piece of paper. Im surprised it didnt come on a napkin at this point. We will let you know the specific details at the appropriate moment. One could argue the rollout of the plan was supposed to be the appropriate moment that you would have some of these details. Its a great plan. Its going to put people back to work. I find it fascinating that blowing
Tradition o one president at a time. Reporter e does like to weigh in and thats something hes been doing. While there are events unfolding around him, which means there is risk in weighing in. He has talked about israel. He has talked about job situations. He has been critical of the administration. Hes tweeted against president obama and then as we know, he has also indicated they have a good relationship. So one tweet says the transition is not so smooth. His Public Comments which we should point out are rare since the election, this was perhaps the only interaction i can recall since the election where donald trump took unexpected questions from members of the media and there tried to repair it and say, there is, in fact, a relationship with president obama that is working. So, chris, as you know, this is an unusual pattern that has continued from candidate to president elect and then, of course, to see even our own fellow clevelander don king who was pictured will and you and i rem
The intelligence agencies, specifically director brennan and other leaders and also the workforce by implication and also with the Obama White House, what started so smoothly is certainly going off the tracks. Reporter thats right, andrea. This is an issue that continues to get under his skin, questioning the results of the election and so you continue to have mounting tensions between the president elect and the Intelligence Community, as you mentioned john brennan was blistering in his comments to the wall street surgeon dismi dismissing the fact he leaked information about president elect donald trump and e excoriating for him comparing the links to naltsie, germany, pointing to the men and women who have given their lives for the sake of serving in the cia. For him its clearly personal and clear this clash continues to escalate, but it does from the perspective the president elect trump because anything that potentially casts a cloud over his victory is something that roils him.

Although my friend and league Jeff Sessions is well known to the members of this committee, its my distinct privilege to introduce him as president elect Donald Trumps nominee to serve as our next United States attorney general. Before joining the senate, Jeff Sessions began his distinguished career as a practicing attorney and then served as the United States attorney for alabamas Southern District before ultimately becoming the attorney general of the state of alabama. During the past 20 years here in the u. S. Senate, that i have served with Jeff Sessions, ive had the opportunity to know him well, not just as a skilled attorney with an accomplished record as a prosecutor and as a legislator, but as a man of extraordinary character. I have the highest regard, not only for his intellect but for his integrity. Unfortunately, since the announcement of his nomination, jeffs political opoentss have attacked his character with baseless and tired allegations. But in reality, Jeff Sessions e
