that? it is hard to say who the sources are for the new y times. once the documents start floating around d.c., it is a case of a trump lawyer who wrote that passed it an lolong to a fd for review and the friend gives it up to the new york times. leaves a couple months to a trail tied back to them. when i get a good tip from someone. they say wait a couple days. once the information starts circulating, it will not look like it came from me. that s a standard journalism practice. in the letter, the president acknowledged dictating the response of the don junior meeting with the russians. we will talk about that in the next segment. bill clinton says impeachment proceedings could have already begun if a democrat was president.
and so, jonathan, you know, there is some history, right? there s significant history between the white house press corps in particular and the president, how a bond, a relationship is built. sometimes, it s also ten wouous. we saw that with george w. bush. we saw that on occasion with president clinton. but what is your expectation of how the relationship will begin and perhaps how it will continue? i m willing myself to be hopeful, but i m afraid that that hope will turn out to be misplaced. i think that all early signs point to a trump administration that would be hostile to the press, perhaps uniquely so, and i think there s a lot of noise here, but what sprinterests me a singular question, and that would be, what can he as president do to change u.s. media law or restrict journalism practice. and if you break that question down into a couple of component parts, you know, could president trump open up our libel laws?
