Lies. It is ashame because his actions during the transition were lawful. There was nothing to hide. Ger Garrett Tenney in the white house, how is he responding . A bit of the change in how the white house is portraying Michael Flynn. Everyone that has followed President Trump will remember for more than a year he praised former security adviser, a good man who he wish he didnt have to fire. Yesterday the tone from the white house shifted a bit. As they try to diminished flynn s official and former obama official who served for 25 days before getting fired. The attorney ty down played flynn pleading guilty while adding nothing about the guilty plea or charge implicates anyone other than mr. Flynn. In this morning before leaving the white house, the president said he is not concerned about it either. No, im not. And what has been shown is no collusion, no collusion. Theres been absolutely, theres been absolutely no collusion so we are very happy, we will see what happens, thank you all
Coast. Around the world. Good day to you. A tweet from the u. S. President s personal account raises a stubborn and haunting question, what did the president know and when did he know it . The focus is on his fired National Security adviser Michael Flynn. The tweet reads, i had to fire general flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the fbi. He has pled guilty to those lies, it is a shame because his actions during the transition were lawful. There was nothing to hide, explanation point, from u. S. President donald trump. If true this tweet is explosive. It means mr. Trump knew Michael Flynn had broken the law when he asked the then fbi director james comey in february to drop the investigation into flynn. Heres what the president said saturday. What has been shown is no collusion, no collusion. There has been absolutely there has been absolutely no collusion. So were very happy. And frankly, last night was one of the big nights. Well see what happens. Thank you, all, very much
Great to be with you, and great to be with you at home. Im leland vittert. The senate literally burped the midnight oil last night and republicans did not need the vicepresident to get the reform through the senate, though he was there. Were halfway there the. The republicans got this through with vote to spare even though democrats did everything they could to block it. I would be glad to gut and destroy this legislation. How high the stench is rising in this chamber as we debate the bill tonight. In my long career in politics i have not seen a more aggressive piece of legislation. They also took to twitter showing the last minute changes that were handwritten on the bill, complaining there was no way anyone had time to read the entire piece of legislation, much less study it and figure out how it would effect the economy. Here is senator john tester of montana. Can you tell me what that word is . You have better eyes than me, this is unbelievable. In the end, the republicans were abl
Security. Bill our chief legal correspondent, shannon bream, good morning to you on the steps. What does this decision mean right now for the administration . Start there with the protests in the background. We have protests. Talk about those coming up. This couldnt have been a better decision for the white house after various reports that it blocked all the forms of the travel ban in full or part.

R. Mcmaster about Michael Flynn pleading guilty of lying to the fbi in the russia probe. We begin there with correspondent kevin cork live at the white house and how the president s inner circle is handling the flynn news. A twitter storm with the president tweeting several tweets about the fbi calling them unfit and unfair in russia probe but the white house also found itself trying to save another inflicted twitter wound this time not on the about the substance but rather over style and lack of nuance in social media which is raising all sorts of serious questions. The president tweeted i had to fire general flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the fbi. Hes pled guilty to those lies, its ashame because his actions during the transition were
