Now. John, what are the options that are being looked at currently . Reporter sandra, good afternoon. I want to point out that within the last hour the wall street journal is quoting john kelly, the chief of staff here as saying, whoa, theres no plan to remove Rex Tillerson as secretary of state. We should point out thereofnt a plan to remove him, only to replace him if and when he decides he wants to remove himself. So lets go back to where we started. That is plans to replace secretary of state rex tiller son, whom im told is expected to leave. This could all change. But, its kind of an open secret around here that he probably wants to step down at some point. Im told late january might be the timing. Mike pompeo, leading candidate to replace tillerson as secretary of state. If pompeo leaves the cia to go to the state department, the plan here would be, and this could also change as well, because this is still a long way off politically, for the president to get arkansas senator tom
Mostambitious rewrite of the tax code in over three decades. And nobody, and i mean nobody, knows precisely whats in the bill. Or what exactly it would do. In a session on the floor, lawmakers scrambling to get legislation passed before it can see the light of day, before anyone can figure out whats in it. Adding to the urgency is the increasingly unhinged behavior of the president of the United States, whose pen they still need to sign a tax bill into law. This bill that theyre debating right now, that they plan to vote on tomorrow, is why, for the past year and a half, republicans have chosen to tolerate Donald Trumps destabilizing, dangerous conduct. Nothing hes done has outweighed the singular goal of getting this thing passed. Not his bragging about committing Sexual Assault backed up by accusations from over a dozen women on record, Nick Collison his attacks on the u. S. Intelligence committee or deference to Vladimir Putin or mounting evidence his campaign tried to collude with
About. You think roy moore has bigger things to do than to square off with jimmy kimmel but thats exactly what he did, and as you can hear there, kimmel fighting back. Square off in the state department as Rex Tillerson good morning. Im christine romans. It is friday, the very first day of december. Make your list and check them twice. Sometimes you shock me by telling me the date. Up early up and at them. Stunning verdict as Dunkin Donuts used to launch the populous movement. A San Francisco murder acquitting the man in the 2016 shooting death of kate steinle. Prosecutors arguing he shot her intentionally by the lawyer said the gun went off accidentally and the bullet ricochetted off the ground. He had been deported five times and released from cuss today in San Francisco before the shooting. Sanctuary city propone nepts argued that immigrants are more likely to cooperate if they dont feel it would lead to deportation his public defender gave this blunt warning. There are a number of
all of the allegations against him. but as you can see, the pressure in the end, given that this national moment was just too much for him to survive. he is 88 years old. he said today on the radio that he wants his son, john conyers iii, to be the person who eventually runs for and wins his seat. we also have heard from ian conyers, another relative of the conyers family, who s also said he s interested in running. so potentially some family drama going on in this detroit area district. this is a safe democratic seat in the detroit area. there s some leeway for the governor on how this elect might unfold. so we re not quite sure yet when a replacement election might take place. but, craig, it s worth noting, congressman conyers isn t the only member of congress under pressure or facing a challenge about what to do to deal with sexual harassment allegations. a republican congressman from texas paid $84,000 in a
against individuals that were children. and he s now saying these are attacks because of transsexuals or transgender or socialists or gays. i think there should be outrage about that and i m outraged about it. equally, the president of the united states sits in the white house and spews out anti-muslim hatred videos and as well has 16 women who cry every day about being hurt. i want to have those people heard. i ve said publicly if we have hearings, let us hear from the women who have been engaged in a number of these issues, including the president, mr. moore and others. so i don t take a back seat to that. i don t think today is the end. i don t think tomorrow s the end. i said i m praying for mr. conyers family. he is with his family. and i believe that as we move forward, they will have to make that decision. okay. that doesn t mean of course that the women will not have remedy and that the issues you have just said will not be vigorously investigated.
