Today another spokesman said the president lost confidence in him and considered firing him from the day he was elected president. The change, according to the white house, President Trump questioned comeys reasoning for staying at the fbi.

The noreaster 6 million to 15 Million People could possibly lose coverage under the republican repeal and replace health care plan. The white house is downplaying now.
