Lets bring in our leadoff panel for this friday night. Franco ordonez, White House Correspondent for mcclatchy newspapers, covering immigration and foreign affairs. The New York Times katie benner, pulitzer prizewinning reporter who covers the Justice Department. And yamiche alcindor, White House Correspondent for news hour on pbs. Thanks to all of you for being with us. Katie, let me start with you. We have that reporting tonight about some movement on that issue of reunifying parents with children, at least some of them. You cover the Justice Department, the legal end of this. It sounded like there was still plenty of confusion when that Executive Order was issued the other day by the president about what that was actually going to allow in terms of reunification. How clear is that now . Absolutely. So as you say, this was another selfinflicted wound by the Trump Administration not thinking through clearly enough a directive before issuing it. So we saw a lot of confusion last night.
East coast, President Donald Trump has a busy week ahead of him. On monday hes expected to take questions from reporters in a joint News Conference with the visiting Prime Minister of italy. Mr. Trump will likely be asked about his latest twitter rant against the Special Counsel, Robert Mueller. The president now claiming mueller has multiple Conflicts Of Interest in the russia investigation. In addition to that, there are still questions about the tapes the president s former attorney just released as well as mr. Trumps threat to shut down the government to get funding for his border wall that he said mexico would pay for but in fact he means the taxpayers will pay for.

Wolf Blitzer looks at politics, breaking news and international stories. Investigation. Let me read between sure. I want to read the tweet. The words the president used in the statement on twitter that he released earlier this morning. This is a terrible situation. And Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop this rigged witch hunt right now before it continues to stain our country any further. Bob mueller is totally conflicted and his 17 angry democrats that are doing his dirty work are a disgrace to usa. I just want to be specific what the president has said because, dana, this is the most bombastic statement hes made yet on this entire russia probe. And it comes as mueller is now engaged in the first trial thats actually started yesterday. No question. And, look, when and this goes to the heart of part of the Mueller Investigation. When a boss, or when the president , says makes a suggestion to a subordinate, is it really a suggestion . Like David Chalian was saying earlier, when
Federal agency is out to get him. Or is trump simply saying he, the countrys good leader is simply expressing his opinion on the matter. Under investigation for Obstruction Of Justice, donald trump demanded that the Attorney General end the Mueller Probe all together. Quote this is a terrible situation and Attorney General that is trump tweeting. The president knows he is the subject of the investigation. That means the president s tweet could be further evidence that he is out trying to obstruct justice. Trumps lawyers immediately attempted to control the damage. Telling the Washington Post that the president was merely expressing his opinion. Here is Rudy Giuliani defending his tweet today. He used a medium that he uses for opinions sort of.
