Continues to push this false russian narrative. Why . Y . That is tonights opening monologue. We have been reporting since last week, serious journalists have now debunked the fake news narrative about a connection between President Trump and russia. The alt left propaganda media, they did not do that. F they did not properly vet obama. They did not look at obamas radical ties because they have his agenda. Ct a dereliction of duty that is now bordering on malice and malpractice. By continuing to run around, that actual journalists are reporting is just not true. Take a look at some of the worst examples from propagandaru l pr. We are number one nailing down more direct connections between the Trump Campaign and the russian government. At the time the russian government was influencing our election and number two, at the same time, we are also starting to see what may be signs of continuing influence in our country. Si not just during the campaign but during the administration. Basicall
Read to me again from the list of my accomplishments. Of course, sir. Nominated neil gorsuch. God, i love that list. What a beautiful long list. Now, that may be why President Trump has been tapping down communications. Also one accomplishment, Supreme Court nomination, the sc is what you see there. Today white house aides announcing new policy moves by trump in the week ahead. They say he will release new quoterinciples for tax cut weesday. Sign a new veterans executive der wednesday and potentially meet with the entire Security Council at the white house. Thats a big photo op at the least and potentially platform for more multilateral action for syria. One question were asking is does that busy schedule reflect a rush to get some homework done . Some white house Officials Say yeah, earlier this month, six sources told politico the white house is hosting a tense Planning Session for the hundredday mark as Trumps Communications director discussed thousand package trumps tumultuous days
Grassley actually raised some concerns about him in a letter dating back just a few months ago when he wrote to Homeland Security secretary john kelly, requesting the immigration information about him. And in that letter, senator grassley actually called rinat akhmetshin, he said he was acting as an unregistered agent for russian interests apparently with, quote, ties to russian intelligence. In those news roshts and the interviews hes given to multiple news outlets, akhmetshin says he has no ties to the kremlin, no ties to russian intelligence. He does say that he served as a russian soldier for two years. He was a russian citizen. He is now an american citizen but of course this also concerning because this was not nirnlly disclosed by donald trump jr. So far, we have seen two different statements from donald trump jr. , one on saturday, one on sunday, and in that, he only mentioned his meeting with the russian lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya. Never mentioning another person, of course

I think thats the dumbest thing ive ever heard to keep this madness going for 30 days to go home and everybody in the country start getting beat up for trying to solve a problem. 30 more days is killing the military, if you believe general mattis, this is the biggest thing we want to impose. Thiss no reason to wait 30 days. A number of senators seemed puzzled how we got to the point of nearly a Government Shutdown. The democrat blame game is the go
Them the permission to do in 2002. That is absurd. Thats an insult. This is welcome to our viewers in the United States and all around the world. This is new day. Its thursday, january 9th, 6 00 in new york. We begin with House Democrats moving to limit President Trumps military power if he tries to take action against iran again. Today the house is expected to vote on a war powers resolution to limit further military action. Tensions do appear to have cooled between the u. S. And iran, but democrats fear a lack of strategy and discipline in the white house could escalate the crisis again. Now, lawmakers were briefed on the intelligence that led to that decision to kill irans top general, but that briefing left Senate Democrats and two key republican senators fuming about the lack of evidence they were shown and the white houses decision to bypass congress. This morning cnn has brand new details about what went on behind the scenes during the attack. A senator who spoke to the presiden
