A he said, he said type of thing. You see the pictures at the top when you come on the air, holding a Martin Luther king day event citing the population to declare monday the Martin Luther king holiday. Again changing the Historic Site in atlanta to a National Park which will make it bigger and allow more people to see its prey to the president in a series of tweets denying that he used the word swhole. Saying, the language used by me at the daca meeting was tough, this was not the language used. Saying, never said anything derogatory about haitians other than haiti is obviously a very poor and troubled country. Probably should read keyboard future meetings. Unfortunately, no trust. But dick durbin put together with South Carolina Lindsey Graham invited by the president to come up to the oval office and talk about daca says definitively he knows where the president said and he used the word shole. He said, haitians, do we need more haitians . Then he went to describe the immigration fr
His campaign, his inaugural activities and his presidency itself. These are operating at the federal, state and even local level. And those are just the ones with eknow about. Sometimes the biggest investigations remain confidential in the early stages. Now the Mueller Report revealed more than a dozen active criminal probes that were referred to other offices. Most of those remain secret, totally redacted from public view. And in congress, the New York Times also has the count of 11 separate probes into trump in the administration. Lawmakers want information about secret communications with Vladimir Putin about the tax returns, a battle that is now in court, and also whether donald trump has misrepresented his net worth in potentially criminal ways or ways with National Security implications. This also is a bit of a family affair. Lawmakers investigating vaie ii trump and Jared Kushner for alleged abuses in the security clearances and use of private emails for government business. I w
And mike emanuel on capitol hill. We begin with john. John . Neil, good afternoon to you. The president tried for 35 days to break the democrats and could not break them. They held together and so the president was the one that had to back down today and say that were going to open government, but he did get a negotiation over the last 24 hours from the democrats a pledge to negotiate on Border Security. But strikes me that nancy pelosi had been offering that for weeks. I dont know if the president got more of a commitment from the democrats to include funding for a border wall. The white house officials told me that there are a number of democrats that do seem inclined to give the president money for a border barrier, much of which off of the rio grande in the state of texas. The president theres threatening that if the democrats dont give him what he wants, he has options to use. Listen here. We really have no choice but to build a powerful wall or steel barrier.

President zulinsky to pressure him to more aggressively pursue an investigation trump believed would deliver potential political dirt against one of the president s political adversaries, joe biden. Again, just to reiterate a president who spent three years colluding with a foreign power to get dirt on his political enemies has been caught redhanded doing just that. And this comes today after the president declined to say whether he discussed the former Vice President joe bidens family in that phone call with the ukrainian president , a call he insists was appropriate. Did you discuss joe biden, his son or his family with the leader of ukraine . It doesnt matter what i discussed did you talk i dont want to talk about any conversation other than to say great conversation, totally appropriate conversation, couldnt have been better and keep asking questions and build it up as big as possible so you can have a bigger downfall. Well, separately the wall street journal reports that in that p
