On the subject of robert menendez, you reappointed him to Senate National security working group, why was it appropriate to reappoint him . As i said, the senate has certain standards that every senator must live up to. Senator menendez has not, im deeply disappointeâ– d in him. Thank you, everybody.

Ethis committee will come t order. To help us understand what china is doing. We spend a lot of time on this committee debating whether xi jinping will make a move. This is a question that people continue to debate.
