Reporter confusion reins, the 2400 limit, it remains in the views, heres the other thing, liz, gop leaders are discussing scaling back the Small Business tax cut. Initially it was a 25 going down from 39. 5 to 25, thats going to be scaled back and heres the one thing, liz, before she gets up there, we have to tell everybody the state and local taxes, major fights over that. Peter king, the new york congressman from long island is leading an effort, from what i understand, rallying representatives from hightax states to oppose this bill unless the deduction is in there or major compromise is in there. These are big issues. The salt deduction is considered a major Sticking Point for the conclusion of the plan. If you think about it, the 2400 limit is still in the plan as they announced yesterday, a contradicti
Whatever the case, that special election called for december 12th. The feeling seems to be that mr. Moore, judge moore is in a heap of trouble. And that he would likely lose, even if theres a writein vote for the man he defeated, luther strange. If that happens, the vote is divided, democrat wins. After that point, you have close a margin as you want, 5149 favoring republicans down from 5248. You dont want to risk losing republicans anymore that you can. To politico capital hill reporter, and rachel, to you first, the prospect this moore stuff is beginning to complicate, maybe actually speed up this process. What do you think . I think republicans decided he is more after liability than an asset. There is of course, you mentioned the tax bill. There is a fear that he will lose a seat that should have been the safest seat on the map for republicans, red state, alabama. That would mean one less vote for tax reform. This was already going to be close. So they do want to move as fast as po
Reporter jim, this was an incident back in 2016, april of 2016, that occurred in a girls bathroom at a local high school. A student died. The judge ruled today that what happened was not a fight. This was not two students squaring off but a onesided attack. Now, the attorney for the girl that was found delinquent of homicide said it was out of character for her. She a good child. This was the first fight that shes ever gotten into in her life. Reporter john deckers is talking about his now 17yearold client found delinquent in the death of amy y joynerfrancis at Howard High School in wilmington last year. Joynerfrancis had an undiagnosed heart condition. It was ruled she died from stress after being beaten by the 17yearold who attacked her. Deckers says his client comes from a solid home but anybody who knows children understands that sometimes teens are pressured into engaging in activity which is contrary to what mother and father teach every day. Reporter two other girls had been cha
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
Tariffs against china. Initially they were going to target with a 10 tariff, but sources say the president wants to increase that tax to 25 . There is a growing belief that china is a bad actor on trade and needs to be handled as such. China cannot fight titfortat trade war for very long, it will quickly run out of bullets. We also expect questions on a tweet a president sent out this morning that many people saw as him telling Attorney General Jeff Sessions to shut down the Robert Mueller investigation. Tweeting Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop this which onto right now. Democrats started shouting about Obstruction Of Justice that the president was pretty overt and telling Jeff Sessions to shut the investigation down. Investigation, so we will see where it goes. I laugh because theres never been a natural end to a Special Counsel investigation. Harris there are very few natural ends to anything so we will see what happens.
