First in the security counsel and now in the full General Assembly, critics accuse the white house in taking sides in a dispute that has been central to the conflict. Nikki haley insists thats not the case, but also said this is bigger than that. She said believe votes with the clear goal of whacking the United States, whatever the issue will have consequences. The United States will remember this day in which it was singled out for attack in the General Assembly for the very act of exercising our right as a sovereign nation. We will remember it when we were called upon to once again make the Worlds Largest contribution to the United Nations and we will remember when so many countries come calling on us as they so often do to pay even more and to use our influence for their benefit. Ambassador haleys remarks come a day after President Trump suggested nations could lose their foreign aid for the vote. We are watching those votes. Let them vote against us. We will save a lot.

Out Prescription Drugs. I understand he had a nickname in the white house among the white house staff. It was the candy man because he handed out Prescription Drugs like they were candy. It really is important to note that right now these are just allegations, albeit from multiple sources but it is not clear if they are true. What is it appear clear is that this white house did not know about any of these allegations when the president announced dr. Jacksons nomination on twitter .

Thats a significant number. Thats more than many here in the u. S. Expected. It is more than britain expected, which has been hoping that the u. S. Would come out with a robust response after the uk kicked out 23 Russian Diplomats following this attack. So when you think about over the summer, when there was a tit for tat of expulsions and closing of diplomatic facilities between the u. S. And russia, Vladimir Putin said that the number was now equal of diplomats in the u. S. And russia at 455. So when the u. S. Is kicking out 60 of them, thats 13 of Russian Diplomats that are in the u. S. The state department now tells us that 12 of them are in new york, 48 of them are spread throughout the United States, and the u. S. Is closing its consulate in seattle because they say it is located so close to a u. S. Submarine base there.

The question is, will he address his new demand for the Justice Department to investigate the investigation into him. He promised that today. He would officially demand, he said i hereby demand that the Justice Department investigate whether his campaign was infiltrated or surveilled for political purposes and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the obama administration. Our Kaitlan Collins live for us at the white house with the very latest. Here the president is making good on that threat he may have to get involved with the Justice Department. This tweet, this demand came in a series of tweets where the president was venting about his political enemies, the department of justice and so forth, but what was different about this one, what made this one stand out is that it wasnt just the president airing his political grievances online. He went a step further instructing the department of justice essentially to do his bidding here, to find out if the department o
