The White House Press corps have had for him all week about this. He also left for bedminster this afternoon, ignoring questions once again. Its just a pattern of this white house refusing to answer for why statements made both from the president and also from his senior aides at the White House Press podium have not turned out to be true, or at least they are now under question based on what we now are hearing from what Michael Cohen might have to say to special counsel mueller. It wouldnt be the first time that Sarah Sanders has had to correct herself after making statements about what the president knew and didnt know, but this time Sarah Sanders hasnt even been available to answer questions about this. The white house has been virtually silent. Yeah. Is there reporting on how the president is feeling about the latest news . Reporter well, the president has been very angry. Thats what were hearing from an Administration Official this week. Hes been watching the coverage on televisio
Case of the white house making statements about what the president did and did not know. Senior Trump Officials have said the president didnt know anything about these payments. That turned out to be completely untrue based on the audiotape of the president himself talking about that payment were Michael Cohen before the election. But, again, here the white house refusing to talk about it. White house aides are now referring questions about this issue to the president s outside lawyers even though some of these issues involve the statements made by people who worked in the white house now or very recently. So, anderson, theyre hoping that we dont continue asking questions about this. There hasnt been a White House Press briefing in several days. There have only been three this month at all. They are clamping down on the opportunities that reporters get to ask both the president and also senior white house officials questions about all of these matters. Abby phillip, thanks very much. N

He couldnt take it and if you do smile, theyll say, what was he smiling about . Theres no win. Good morning and welcome to a. M. Joy. For the second year in a row, donald trump skipped the white house Correspondents Dinner. His last visit there apparently wasnt enjoyable. Remember those jokes barack obama told about him in 2011. But he didnt skip a beat when it came to attacking the media. Instead of going to washington, d. C. To do it in a hilarious monologue, trump went to washington township, michigan, rallying his base with his usual free willing rants. Perhaps its best that trump wasnt at the dinner because he probably would have been even angier than he was in 2011. After comedian Michelle Wolf unleashed 20 minutes of scorching riske comedy, sparing no one, mike pence, not members of trump cabinet and not the media either. Prompti
