Flynn. Never before in the history of our country has a National Security adviser been fired after 24 days in office. Michael flynn made that history, he didnt make it to the end of his fourth week in office but he made it to the history books. When h was fired there were things about it that didnt make sense that still dont make sense and are starting to become untenable. He was fired ostensibly because he had contacts with the russian government during the transition. The transition between the Obama Administration and the Trump Administration Michael Flynn was talking to the russian government and he lied about the content of his communications with the russian government thereby a couple mysteries that remain about the russian government contact. One is why do we know about it . Why do we the people, we the press, we the citizens of the United States know about the content of communications with the russian government . Michael flynn was reportedly exposed as having lied about the
First ballot, before capturing the nomination on the second ballot. But he understood that this is a fractured party. And that he needed to welcome in those progressives that didnt necessarily support him. Thats why he brought up the man who came in second, minnesota congressman, Keith Ellison, and made him his deputy chairman. Take a look at that moment. I would like to begin by making a motion. Its a motion that i have discussed with a good friend. And his name is Keith Ellison. And the motion i would like to make to the body is a motion suspending the rules, if i may, to appoint Keith Ellison deputy chair of the Democratic National committe committee. [ cheers and applause ] now, im not im not im not sure [ cheers and applause ] tell me the phrase im supposed to utter. That was fine . Okay. Im not sure did i hear a second . All for . Aye opposed .

We begin with president donald trump. Also, this week, the white house is expected to roll out a revised executive order banning travelers from seven mostly muslim nations. It does promise to be a busy week. There is one event on his calendar coming up in april that President Trump is declining. He tweeted without explanation, i will not be attending the White House Correspondence Association dinner this year. Please wish everyone well and have a great evening. The head of the Correspondents Association spoke with Brianna Keilar about it.
