sexual assault under title nine is unconstitutional. devos said the accused also deserves due process. one student survivor says she s the one now being denied her rights. administrators have told me more than once that my case just isn t a priority. prior to betsy devos rescinding the title nine protections for survivors, complaints like mine had to be handled promptly. now the trump administration has removed any timelines for completing investigations to allow schools like johns hopkins to continue delaying the process endlessly until one of us graduates or gives up. survivors should not have to spend their college years sharing a campus with their abusers. up next, a trump-appointed department of justice official picks a fight with the republican-led house intelligence committee. we ll tell you why.
spokeswoman right here, a trump appointee who works for jeff sessions. she is a conservative saying, everybody, just take a breath. i think a lot of americans who saw the initial release of text messages were disturbed by what they saw and understandably so. the inspector general s investigating it and i look forward to their report, at which point we can discuss that further. we wait for an inspector general report, who s investigating this. let the inspector general do their job. that s good advice. i should also just note for the record that in the case of peter stroke, when bob mueller found out about these texts, which show, whether they show bias or not, we don t know. they do show bad judgment, but he immediately removed him from the investigation. one fast last point. it is not just us talking about how this is a distraction for the gop. this morning the top house gop super pac issued a memo saying to incumbents, please, talk about the tax cut bill. we could not hold the
be an american embassy in jerusalem. that is for his scisraeli audiee and for netanyahu, that s good news. that s what they want to hear. the average american might say, israel, palestinians, this isn t a priority for me. we know, you know as a foreign affairs specialist, this infuriated palestinians. they are protesting in the streets. why should americans care this is the palestinian response? this basically throwes a spanner in the webs for any kind of negotiation between israel and palestine. what trump administration is trying to do here is create new reality on the ground. that part of the discussion, that part of the conflict between israel and palestine, which is raised for six decades over the future of jerusalem, that off the table. now the palestinians have indicated and the arab allies, friend of the united states have said this won t do. this is uncool, this is not the
republicans and democrats together who agree on some of the repair or replace concepts, but this isn t a priority. why be in a majority party or controlling anything if you can t get these things done. that may come down the pike but it is they are not going to be happy about it. thank you jarrett. minutes ago kasie hunt spoke to senator lindsey graham. here s what he had to say about this legislation that has his name on it. is this a tough day? not really. i understand why people are concerned. it is not that they don t like the idea of block granting health care back to their states. it s not like they are sold on obamacare. one thing i can tell you, nobody in our conference believes obamacare is going to work. it must be replaced. until now we didn t know how to do it. i think we have an idea that people can rally around, the block grant makes sense. it worked for welfare reform. i understand the concerns.
getting girls in school and keeping them there usually isn t a priority and school can be dangerous for girls here. sexual assaults are a big problem. i really hope i can help them tell their stories because i understand what they re up against. i m a child from this continent. i m an african child whose parents came from very humble beginnings. whose grandparents weren t educated. my mother sold ginger beer to help pay her school fee like some of these girls. through force of will, a supportive mother and a lot of luck i ve got to here. for me, this is not just a big news story. the lives of my loved ones are at risk. i think if i fail to convey to them that they can walk the same path i ve walked, then i haven t done a good job. that would be heartbreaking for me.
