Folks here . Reporter i can tell you directly, kris, marcus, good morning to you both. We spoke to someone 10 or 15 minutes ago. It was a dual citizen, dual russianamerican citizen who just came out here to get his passport renewed. He was here with his grandparents and now he told me, he is completely blind sided by this. He has no idea where it leaves him in terms of his travel or any other sorts of services. Thats how a lot of people are feel nothing doubt. Let me set the stage and tell you whats going on behind me. You see the van here, that has consulate plates on it. Not sure if its taking anyone away today. People have been coming in and out of the consulate building. Folks coming down the stairs. Earlier, a couple minutes ago, women with suitcases walking right out of there. They didnt offer any sort of comment. This has just been a remarkable turn of events.

With regard to those you have talked in Republican Party circles, not necessarily directly involved in the Trump Campaign, deleting these changes will make a difference . Do they think these changes will make a difference . Is a mixed reception. There is a belief nearly among all my sources that this decision was driven by trump himself.

Bannon will be more naturally inclined to luttrell do as he wishes when it comes to media appearances. Its going to be in emphasis more on what weve seen as a trump as an agent of change. They expect bannon to have that as a strategy. Its very it seems accurate that many top aides of donald trump grew angry with his stronger refusals to adopt
