Including against its oil industry which has helped fund its military activities and those of its proxies across the middle east. Data from Energy Analytics firm, vortexa, suggests that in the first three months of this year, iran exported more oil than at any time in the last six years, with most of it going to china. Iran currently produces about 3 of the worlds oil supplies. Earlier i spoke to Philip Worman who is a senior Managing Director we have heard about new sanctions from the us and uk, targeting executives of an Engine Manufacturer that supplied the drones iran used in that attack on israel. Companies also linked to irans Steel Industry are being targeted. Earlier i spoke to Philip Worman who is a senior Managing Director at Risk Consultanchs held. Philip advises on sanctions risk. Well, its interesting. Even with the recent Missile Attacks on israel, the price of crude really hasnt gone up in the same way that you saw with previous geopolitical shocks. So crude is kind of p
Time youre not aware of him actually taking any calls . No. Hes not taken any calls at this time since june 1st. Secretary shulkin, thank you for being with me tonight. Thank you. Obviously not taking the place of twitter yet. Dont forget, you can watch outfront any time anywhere on cnn go. Anderson is next. Thanks for joining us tonight. The last man in the room before the president spoke alone with fbi director james comey testified under oath, Attorney General Jeff Sessions is seen and heard a lot as one of Donald Trumps closest complain advisers and is accused of being untruthful and went before the Senate Intelligence committee in part he said to set the record straight about a number of things, including in his words, secret innuendo being leaked about himself, the president and his whole affair. He had plenty to say about that. He had less to say to the considerable irritation of some
committee members. Well talk about this over the next two hours and hear from a senator who was
Honored that recusal with regard to matters pending the Department Of Justice, but i just want to comment on what may have been on anybody elses mind or offer any opinion about that because its not for me to make those decisions. Well, it is exactly, i think, why Senator Schatz asked a whole series of questions about the scope of recusal, because i am a lawyer. Senator schatz may not be. He asked better questions than i did, but i also am having real difficulty understanding the scope of the recusal, its contours in definition, and i have an unresolved question about whether or not thats why the Attorney General failed to appear before us today, is to avoid having to answer direct questions about the scope of his recusal. I do appreciate and respect your appointment of a highly talented Special Counsel, and there have been questions from both sides that imply strong support for his independence and his conduct, and i appreciate the care with which you are answering my questions, but im
But when you compare director comeys Testimony Yesterday, which was quite compelling, believable and composed to the ways the president conducted himself today at the rose garden, i think james comey is going to win any credibility contest. What is your problem with how the president conducted himself today at the rose garden . This is a serious investigation, he was standing in quite a prestigious place, the rose garden and was asked if there were tapings, he sort of swintimated there were and said that investigation could be coming soon. There is not a reality show. This is the president of the United States with allegations of Obstruction Of Justice taking place. The president did say he was 100 willing to testify under oath. Will you call on the special counsel bob mueller to depose the president of the united
his side will be more believable . Jeff sessions apparently was in the room, Jared Kushner was in the room. And apparently theres more to hear from Admiral Rogers and coats.
Mcgahn. He says that sessions made a huge error, hes very frustrated. A couple people have said one of the few times theyve seen him get genuinely angry as opposed to the blufter that we know the president is prone to was about Jeff Sessions. Hes upset about the russia recusal situation and feels angry and hamstrung about the fact that the Executive Order that the president himself signed related to a Ban On Travel a temporary ban, quote unquote, from muslim majority nations was struck down by the court. This was within the first week of the administration and set the tone Going Forward and in the president s mind, Jeff Sessions is tied to everything. Lastly, your colleagues just broke some news which is fascinating about jim comey asking Jeff Sessions not to be left alone again with the president or that he didnt want to be left alone with the president. Its quite striking. Essentially you have the fbi director concerned about the position apparently that the president might put him i
