In february, he asked comey to drop the investigation of Michael Flynn, directly contradicting what the president had said. Comey also confirmed, like the president has said, that donald trump was not personally under investigation by the fbi even as comey made clear to the country that Trumps Campaign and individuals associated with it were under investigation. Were going to go point by point tonight through comeys testimony. Joining me are ken dilanian, michael schmidt, joy reid, and dan rather, host of the big interview on access tv. And heres what comey writes about that private dinner he had with President Trump on january 27th. I assumed there would be others. It turned out to be just the two of us seated at a small oval table in the center of the green room. The president began by asking me whher i wanted t stay on as fbi director, which i found strange because he had already told me twice in earlier conversations that he hoped i would stay, and i had assured him that i intended
And on the clock. With time running out to avoid a partial Government Shutdown, the white house signals flexibility on its wall demands. At the end of the day, we dont want to shut down the government. We want to shut down the border. Today with the president probably hoping his christmas break would hurry up and get started. He just suffered through a pretty rough 24 hours. He will have to fold, it looks like, on his border wall funding demands. He watched his former National Security adviser get smacked down by a d. C. Judge. Oh, by the way, his Charitable Foundation forced to close its doors after trump was accused as using it as a personal piggy bank. And hes still got two more days before hes expected to head to maralago. I have a great team to help me break it down but first i want to take a step back and explain exactly what were looking at here. Right now President Trump is on the cusp of a 16day vacation. When he gets back, democrats will be in the control of the house and wit
Here in washington. Welcome to mpt daily. Its a busy show and all seems to relate to various ways of shutting things down. Trumps charity, trump foundation, its being shut down. The white house is backing off threats of a Government Shutdown, and the federal judge just shut down Michael Flynns attacks on the fbi. And that is where we begin tonight with a question of who is going to stand up to these trumpfueled attacks on the fbi . And how much of a strategy and orchestrated strategy is this . It was a dramatic day at the white house where a federal judge threw the book at the former National Security adviser Michael Flynn in part because he did admit to lying to the fbi and then suggested somehow the agents were trying to ensnare him. Its an argument the president has used to amplify his own attacks on the fbis Russian Investigation but its also an argument that district judge sullivan wanted no part of. He put flynn under oath and asked him pointblank if he wanted to contest the fbi
Joint media release with Member for Flynn Ken O’Dowd
The Morrison Government is funding a study that will investigate the feasibility of using renewable hydrogen instead of natural gas to process alumina, helping to reduce emissions across the aluminium supply chain.
The Government will provide up to $579,786 through the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) to support a trial being undertaken by Rio Tinto.
Rio Tinto’s study will explore the viability of hydrogen-fuelled calcination technology for use at its Yarwun alumina refinery in Gladstone, Queensland, in a move that could help decarbonise its alumina refining operations. The site currently relies on natural gas to generate the high temperatures needed to turn bauxite into alumina in the calcination process.
