seen statements come out throughout the day has been very focussed on the recusal. it is more like some of them have said like tom cotton for example put out a statement saying he s going the right thing at the justice department. he s fighting crime, dealing with the immigration. he should stay there. but the notion, erin, that these senators are being asked and i asked two senators say this to me in the hallways, are being asked to walk the plank and do what the president wants them to do on health care and at the same time they re seeing the president go after in a really unprecedented way his own attorney general, their former colleague after they believe he was unbelievable loyal to donald trump, they re saying, wait a second, how do i know he s going to have my back. there is a very real dynamic connecting the health care and the legislative priorities of
for months, it s been joined in the hacking, going back to september of last year, until the u.s. presidential election in the direction of donald trump by fellow hacker fancy bear, the one connected to russian military intelligence. so why didn t the fbi tell the country this was going on last september? and why does donald trump keep denying that russians were doing the hacking? and why didn t the white house blow the whistle on the russian hacking in the first place? cozy bear was, after all, going after the white house, as well. so we begin tonight with the news about secretary of state. after weeks of public auditions that took on the air of reality tv, donald trump has made his pick. in the end, it wasn t rudy giuliani, his loyal defender, or moi mitt romney or general petraeus or john bolton, thank god. the rose ultimately went to rex tillerson. tillerson s ties to vladimir putin have raised alarms among democrats and top republicans. senator marco rubio said today, i have serio
move on it. and your guy, donald trump s denial that it was, in fact, the case. is he going to keep up that denial after the look, i the top floor tomorrow? well, with look, i m with him all day. it s not that he s denying it, he s just waiting for more evidence to come out. listen, we stand alongside of everybody else that thinks that hacking the dnc or hacking any american organization, corporations like sony or the american government, is not something that we want happening. we denounce all hackers out there. i just think, i said this to you last week and i ll say it again today, even john clapper today said that there s some conflicting information that s come out between the cia and the fbi. so conflicting about whether now, just a minute there. we ve got cozy bear and we ve got fancy bear. we ve got fancy bear associated with defense intelligence in russia, we ve known about those babies for years. and we know about cozy bear, which apparently was active as long
