he told the president it was debunked. the president is surrounded by people who are helping him carry these things out and they ll have to answer a lot of questions. i don t understand why pompeo hasn t come out and volunteered he was on the call and defend the president. why did he have to be outed he was on the call? why? you tell me. if you had nothing to hide and it was a perfect call. say i was there. the president is right. cnn is learning president trump pressed australia s prime minister to help with barr to look into the origin of the russia investigation. at barr s suggestion. barr is fully enganled in under mining the public s understanding of what happened in 2016. why do you say that? he s going around meeting with our allies encouraging them to participate in the
