On a series of big ifs. It depends on all of us, the entire country, to follow the advice, observe social distancing and keep that r down. And, to prevent reinfection from abroad, iam and, to prevent reinfection from abroad, i am serving notice that it will soon be the time, with transmission significantly lower, to impose quarantine on people coming into this country by air. It is because of your efforts to get the r down, the number of infections down here, that this measure will now be effective. And, of course, we will be monitoring our progress, locally, regionally and nationally. And if there are outbreaks, if there are problems, we will not hesitate to put on the brakes. We have been through the initial peak, but it is coming down the mountain that is often more dangerous. We have a root and we have a plan, and everyone in government has the all consuming pressure and challenge to save lives, restore livelihoods and, gradually, restore the freedoms that we need. In the end, this
Good evening. Thanks for joining us. The president believes what he believes. Thats what sean spicer, the White House Press secretary said about the president s claim millions of illegally documented immigrants voted illegally for hillary clinton. Lets be clear before we go further. There is no evidence that happened. If it did, it would be an great voter fraud of our times and extraordinary fraud. If it happened you would think there would be calls for a congressional investigation and Justice Department hearings. If the president really believed it happens you would think he himself would be calling for those investigations. Now, either the president believes something for which there is no evidence and is false or he doesnt really believe it and is just using this as an excuse to explain why he did not win the popular vote. Either way, the president is spreading a falsehood and is the subject of our keeping them honest segment tonight. Jeff zeleny begins it. Reporter the white house
Either way, the president is spreading a falsehood and is the subject of our keeping them honest segment tonight. Jeff zeleny begins it. Reporter the white house is standing by president Donald Trumps unsubstantiated claim that millions voted illegally in the november election. The president believes that, hz has stated it before, stated his concern of voter fraud and people voting illegally during the campaign. He continues to maintain that belief based on studies and evidence that people have presented to him. Reporter press Secretary Sean Spicer doubling down on the president s claim. But repeatedly unable to point to evidence that backs up the charge that has been debunked by republicans and democrats alike. You said the president believes there was voter fraud. I wonder if you believe that. You were with the Republican National committee at the time and Reince Priebus was the chairman of the rnc at the time. Do you believe there was widespread voter fraud . My job is not how can h

It will be reimbursed from whatever tractinsaction. Mexicos president says we absolutely will not pay for the wall.

When does construction begin . As soon as we can. As soon as we can physically do it. In months . I would say certainly in months. I would say planning immediately certainly. We all heard it there with cbs news. We have layla and jeff zeleny, we are waiting to hear from trump at the department of Homeland Security, but walk us through the de
What the president of the United States could be facing tonight. President trump knew flynn misled the fbi weeks before he actually fired flynn. Don mcgann told trump in january that flynn misled pence and investigators. The president did not act on that recommendation for weeks many this is a Bombshell Development and it creates huge problems for the president. Who even today tried to defend his ex National Security adviser. I feel badly for general flynn. Hes led a strong life. And i feel badly. I will say this, Hillary Clinton lied many times to the fbi and Nothing Happened to her. Flynn lied and they destroyed his life. I think its a shame. Trump leaving unanswered this key question about general flynn. Thank you very much. Did you lie to the fbi . Trumps problems garn when he fired off a series of angry tweets this weekend in the wake of flynns guilty plea to lying to the fbi. Among them, i had to fire general flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the fbi. Remember, back
