To wake them back up again and thats the report from the 20some people who got a hold of us, and we have a problem and this doctor has a problem with handing out prescriptions and they call him the candy man. Kaitlan, what are you hearing from the white house today . Reporter the white house is pushing back against that line there specifically saying it is unfair. We just heard from the White House Legislative Affairs director who is gaggling with reporters on the north lawn and he was asked about that name specifically from senator tester and heres what he had to say about that. It was absolutely to drop that line. I think there have been multiple, every year they come in and they do a review of the White House Physicians Office on prescriptions and every year they said hes totally in compliance with what hes been prescribing. The white house is rallying behind dr. Ronny jackson as you saw there from one official and citing president Barack Obamas words yesterday, sending that out to
The republican par. Party. If party was paired if he didnt get the nomination for president , they were worried he might still keep running anyway. He might become a spoiler the conventional wisdom if republican politics at that time, september 2015 if trump couldnt win the nomination or presidency, his stint as a candidate for president thus far was going well enough that it was really good for his celebrity status. It was probably good for his business. So he would keep going with his candidacy regardless. So republicans are worried about this worst case scenario, where trump would not win the republican primary but hed stay in the race and hed run as a third party or independent candidate. From that position he could definitely never win the presidency but seifen off republican votes to screw up the general election chances for whoever did become the republican nominee. That was the worry. That was what was going on in that moment in republican electoral conventional wisdom. Now, lo
Said no. Yes, we know that special counsel mueller removed him from the case, but what did special counsel mueller do to determine whether or how the actions taken, the decisions made and the evidence gathered by a donald trumphating lead investigator, how that may have influenced donald trump as a subject. It wasunequivocally stated by the council and became evidence that was used by the special counsel team. If special counsel mueller was here, i know what i would ask him. Hes not, but his supervisor is. So mr. Deputy attorney general, what, if anything, has special counsel mueller done to determine whether the actions taken, the decisions made and the evidence collected by special agent peter strzok was impacted by his very clear hatred and bias of President Trump . As i know youre aware, director mueller has vast experience both as a prosecutor and a supervisor of the fbi, so i can assure you that he understands the importance of considering any credibility issues in determining wh
More short conversations that occur over the next few days as the president makes his final decision. But that he has wrapped up the formal interview process interviewing six judges monday and tuesday of this week. He spoke with one of them twice which accounts for the seven conversations that the white house was talking about earlier in the week. It was throwing us off a little bit. We didnt know if he had seven candidates or conversations. He had six candidates and seven conversations. Im told that judge Raymond Kethledges stock is rising, an appellate judge appointed by president bush in 2000 , 51 years old. He could sit on the bench for three decades, a district constitutionalist. Got his law degree at the university of michigan. Not the typical harvard or yale pedigree. Im told by some there is a bit of concern his judicial record is a little light but he does appear to be a reliable conservative judge. Also still in the running is Bret Kavanaugh from the d. C. Circuit court of ap
Expectation was that no one would care. It turns out people cared. The country cares. And amid the public outcry against this policy, on june 20th, President Trump formally ended his administrations policy to continue to take parents away from their kids. Today it is supposedly not the policy anymore. Because of the haphazard way they implemented it in the first place, because they literally developed no plan while they were ripping kids out of their parents arms, to keep track of where they were sending those parents and the kids, the court has ordered the president to give the kids back, 500 of them still havent been given back and the advocacy organizations, like the aclu, fighting the administration in court, tell us that theres no real sign the administration is working all that hard to fix that and to get the kids back, even though now they are under court order. So this scandal, it wears on day after day. Week after week when we do hear about rare belated reunions between parent
