Administration. 131 days to go until the president ial election. Today donald trump was politicking in the state of wisconsin. As the director of the cdc reported that the number of americans who have been infected with coronavirus is likely ten times higher than reported. That would put the number well north of 20 million americans. Over 123,000 people have lost their lives thus far. Tonight trump was asked about the impact of the pandemic during a town hall on fox news, and he once again made the erroneous connection between the rate of testing and the surge in cases. We have more cases because we do the greatest testing. If we didnt do testing, wed have no cases. When you do 30 million, youre going to have a kid with the sniffles and theyll say its coronavirus, whatever you want to call it. If we didnt do tests, wed look great. But you know what . Its not the right thing to do. Treatment, vaccine, where are we . Were going to have an answer very soon, very soon indeed. I think it wi

Its not the right thing to do. Treatment, vaccine, where are we . Were going to have an answer very soon, very soon indeed. I think it will be even before the end of the year well have a vaccine. This virus, of course, is not done with us, and as many Health Experts and even some officials now note, the numbers in a majority of the states are going in the wrong direction. Right now over half the states are s
Michael cohen case which, oh, by the way, includes individual one, donald trump, who is accused in all of those documents of directing the crimes Michael Cohen was committing, and thats the case, that we discovered tonight that william barr has been trying to interfere with as soon as he got the job. And if there is a systemic effort inside Prosecutors Office to let the president s tendrils to extend to prosecutorial decisions for there to be political pressure or on how cases are resolved and brought or not brought, among other things, the judiciary should know about that because in some cases judges may want to correct for that or investigate that or figure that out if prosecutors are being importuned in that way.

Spite of the fact President Trump is quote unquote mad as hell over being in impeachment limbo insisting on an immediate impeachment trial in the senate. Speaker pelosi so far withholding the articles of impeachment from the senate. Go to kaitlan collins. White house correspondent. We know the president lets to florida tonight for the holidays and you have new reporting that some white house officials are worried about his time away . What are you hearing . Reporter yes. Already they made a little noise, irksome when the president has these trips, at marge lo maralago surrounded by friends. That drives them crazy. The concern this time is because, of course, this vacation comes at a critics time ahead of that senate trial and as its looming over him, whenever its going to be. Something he certainly wants to know according to leindsey grahm who described is him as mad agency he agenas speaking to him last night.
