Across the globe. The now, the question is, whether the president will make good on that Campaign Promise here or could he change his mind like he changed his mind on nafta, not repudiating more like fixing it, a few moments ago saying he doesnt want to reestablish the israel in jerusalem, more like the present location in tel aviv. He is open to being flexible on this subject. And the devil is in the details. Whether he will find a middle ground on all of this. He is being pressured on both sides. Well devote next two hours on what is at stake. There is a twigs within the administration, the president is known to string people along, make them think one way, boom go the other way, like varney with the citizenship thing but that is another story. We have former Goldman Sachs senior partner, peter keirnen and democratic gift david bernstein. Lets pick what we have here. Right now the president could opt to say im out of this. Ive been promising during the campaign. It is damaging u. S.
Youve heard all the news. This next hour, watere going t focus on the implications. Kevin corke with more. Hi, kevin. What an interesting last 22 hours. It was about this time yesterday that we learned that the president fired the fbi director. In part because of what he had done and what he hadnt done some would say. One thing we can agree on, he was in part responsible for the investigation into russian ties to the trump campaign. As if on cue, the russians were in fact here in washington today. Sergey lavrov making his way to the white house where a conversation with the president to talk about syria and you cane and iran among other bilateral differences that the two sides need to iron out. The president said the meeting was good, very good. He was asked why did you fire james comey . Why did you fire director comey . Because hes doing a good job. Very simply. Not doing a good job. If case you didnt get a chance to hear earlier today if you were busy working, one of the other peopl
Kevin corke at the white house with the latest. Hey, kevin. Its interesting you mentioned the dinosaur out of thinking rotary phones, pagers. Its going to be around but may be more difficult to see them take place. The president obviously frustrated, making that known on twitter today that he just feels like hes trying to get the message out but because of the socalled fake news and the gotya game, maybe its time to say so long for the daily press briefings. Theres been inconsistencies from his own team and he says some of that is his fault because hes moving so quickly. We got that from our conversation with judge pinero. He maybe he talking about scrapping the press briefing and holding a press briefing of his own every couple weeks. That would be interesting. Something else we got out of that con very sayings, he was asked by judge janine and the tick tok in firing james comey and whether or not he was asking him to be loyal specifically to him. Heres what he said to say. People sug
Here we go. We will speak to jim jordan, a key member of the house judiciary in a moment. And how it might change the landscape for a book and an investigation and maybe the view in washington where the scandal is going. But firth to Catherine Herridge with the very latest on this. Hello, catherine. The inspector gender general, found that Andrew Mccabe lied four times, three times he was under oath. In the last few minutes, the president has sent out this tweet. Recommending the mccabe report to his readers to take a look. He calls it a disaster. He says that he lied, lied, lied. And then points out in his view, was totally controlled by the former director james comey who has a book out next week. No collusion, all of this was made up in his words by a den of thieves and lowlifes. Andrew mccabes section of the general report is being released now. But this is not the entire Inspector Generals report. Its going to look more broadly at the fbi and justice departments handling of the em
