This picture taken in march of 2016. The man circled in this photo is george papadopoulos, who pled guilty to lying about the fbi and his interactions with russians during the campaign. Also in this picture, if you widen it a little bit you see the Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who previously said he did not remember that meeting, but today. I do now recall that the march 2016 meeting at the trump hotel and mr. Papadopoulos attended, but have no clear recollection of the details of what he said at that meeting.

Quote, i had to Fire General Flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the fbi. The white house has made it very clear, President Trumps tweets are, quote, official statements by the president of the United States. No matter who might draft, tweak, or actually type them. In this case, lawyer john dowd, the first person ever to take the blame for a president ial tweet. Trumps tweet and Sarah Sanders explanation simply are not the same. They contradict each other. They also dont match cnns reporting. A s
Leslie stahl. Shes a cohost of 60 minutes. Also tonight we have new photos that have been uncovered. They show Franken Groping Huffington during a 2000 photo shoot. Here you can see franken grabbing her breath. The second photo shows are behind and shes rushing to her defense saying they were just having fun in that people shouldnt be offended by the photos. The rest of the Mainstream Media wont tell you this, but this kind of gross behavior is part of a pattern when it comes to al franken. Take a look at this photo from 2000. Franken is seen right there inappropriately touching joy behar while they are on the red carpet together. Just like huffington, she shares his politics and is downplaying the photo and defended his actions. Look, ive known arianna for a long time. She and joy behar, if they dont think anything is wrong with that, that is their choice. But from the outside, it looks kind of creepy. Its probably something most
