they allege porter abused them. the scandal and how the white house has mishandled it with conflicting explanations has some staffers facing some awkward changes. take a look at this exchange today. it was between my colleague, jeff zeleny, and press secretary, sarah sanders. in an op-ed this morning in the washington post, the first wife of rob porter said specifically of you, i expected a woman to do better. based on what you know, do you believe you were personally misled and do you have any regret for how you have explained this to the american people? look, as i said, we do the very best job we can, every single day. i would never presume to understand anything going on with that individual, nor would i think that she could presume what s going on with me or the way that i m responding. look, we ve condemned domestic violence in every way possible. so i want to bring in now, cnn s senior political commentator, jennifer granholm,
united nations to be involved? it wouldn t hurt. it wouldn t hurt to have another set of eyes on this. we have had four different stories in four days. i think general campbell today was forthright with us. he in a secured meeting will be able to go into more detail with us. what you heard today is he s come forth, said a mistake was made. the responsibility of the united states. find out how that mistake was made and then make sure we verify that the information we receive is verified. you had an exchange today, senator, with general campbell about troops in afghanistan and withdrawing from afghanistan. i want to play that exchange. just goes on and on and on as you know. the bottom line is, do you think that afghanistan is more stable and better prepared to take care of itself and with our help or without our help and how much of our help than iraq was? sir, afghanistan is not iraq. i got you. as we talked about. you have government that wants to have either you have a
one of the commandos shouted yes, we ve been looking for you for a long time. bergdahl realized he was safe and then broke into tears. the terms which began last week were negotiated with the help of the qatari government. and five guantanamo bay detainees detainee s released in exchange today, they were obtained by wikileaks and that matched the names released by the department of defense. the department of defense will not confirm nor deny the accuracy but qatari officials are assuring the u.s. that these five men you re looking at will not become a terror threat and they will not even travel out of qatar for a year. cnn correspondent richard quest joins us on the phone from doha. richard, you were just at a meeting of the officials. what did they say? what is the latest there?
