Taking up legislation that will require congressional review of the nuclear deal with iran. This is White House Press secretary josh ernest said president obama wouldnt necessarily reject the bill proposed by bob corker which would require greater congressional review of a potential deal to curb Irans Nuclear program.

And so you can tell me, well this was 2003 and 2004, but i tell you if i was there, id want to know exactly what happened then so id make sure it wasnt happening now.

Mr. Meadows so why, if you were concerned about the culture, would instnt it have gone out immediately or is it that the press has started to rep
