he s leading it s not just people in washington. americans are kind of flabbergasted i think at what s coming out of white house and it didn t seem like it s going to change. zachary wolf and david thanks for talking it over with us. still to come, tail of the take. the president and his aids refuse and deny whether there are tapes recording of talks with james comey. you re live in the cnn newsroom. intelligent technology can help protect it. the all-new audi q5 is here.
his secretary of state. he took romney for dinner and went with the head of the oil company. it ll be interesting if we don t see any of the theater creep up here at some point. david do you want to add something? and not loyal to him but trump guy running the fbi i think that s a real serious problem because the fbi doesn t serve the president, the fbi serves the people of the united states, and we ve seen through our history that sometimes that mean that the fbi has to be able to take a hard look at other at members of the administration all the way up to and including the president. about the firing and how it all went down david, you write the messenger and the moment were all wrong. could president trump have fired comey at any time without prominenti prominent prompting the kind of blow back weave seen? i think if he had gone before the american people and kind of prepared us for this and said
