be a very bad mistake. if they do anything. i m hearing little stories about iran. if they do anything, they will suffer greatly. we ll see what happens with iran. all right, so, let s get right to cecilia vega, here with us in new york tonight. and i understand iran s supreme leader is now weighing in tonight? reporter: david, the ayatollah says that neither side wants a war. he says, in fact, there is not going to be a war. you just saw that exchange that i had there with the president today. he said he doesn t want to have to send a large deployment of troops into that region, but he says he will if he has to. all right, cecilia vega, always great to have you in new york, by the way. we move onto other news tonight, and a chilling investigation. a man who worked as a traveling carnival worker is now accused of being a possible serial killer. authorities in virginia tonight say the suspect has now confessed to killing two women and a teenage girl. and this question, could the
and hard to report on is that literally no one in the white house knows what the president is thinking. well, there you have it right. they have no idea. they have no idea. i have senior people who are calling reporters to ask us what we ve heard and got our read on whose in and out. you go with them with a tip or piece of reporting. their response is that sounds crazy but that sound entirely plausible. until the president says or tweet something his own staffers that are helping him manage the government in the white house knows just as little as the media and the public. there is so much playing catch up it s john bleechbl. ashley and katy thank you. the scope of the mueller i want investigation widening further. what the white house is saying and not saying about the investigation, and whether mueller has crossed a line but
