Duelling emails came out about 90 minutes apart. Ill set the scene. Leeann dhra english welcomed them back from the thanksgiving holiday and signing that email as acting director. We know about 90 minutes after that around 9 30 this morning, mick mulvanie, whos taken the helm here at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has been seen in his office working. He assumed the office of the director. Also receiving full cooperation from his staff, we understand. He sent a reply email, quite lengthy, where he told his staff to ignore any emails from leeann dhra english and going a step further.

That fight playing out in the courts. And also a political fight as

Happy wednesday to you. Hump day. And its 11 00 a. M. I always find that funny. 11 00 a. M. Out west and 2 00 p. M. On capitol hill. Where despite his budding bromance with President Trump, french president Emmanuel Macron called the american president out on his isolationist agenda. In a rare address to congress, the socalled trump whisperer spoke pretty loud and pretty clearly on the need for the u. S. To reject the politics of fear and anger. Also on capitol hill, dr. Ronny jackson was supposed to appear today for his confirmation hearing to be the next secretary of veterans affairs. Instead this afternoon the white house physician is facing questions about his ability to lead whether he overprescribed pills, and whether he drank on the job. Thats a big, big problem to the point where some of the white house call him the candy man, he passed out in the room, that there was some folks that needed some help and another person got what they needed out of the medical kit and took care o

Killer who terrorized an entire state. The original night stalker. Lets get to it. First from the fox news desk, the white house is standing by President Trumps pick to lead the Veterans Affairs department as accusations of misconduct pile up. The top democrat on the senate v. A. Committee says white house staffers nicknamed dr. Ronny jackson the candy man. Thats the report we got from 20 some people that said we have a problem, this doctor has a problem. He hands out prescriptions like candy. The democratic senator john tester from cnn last night, hes from montana. He says more that 20 members of the military came to the committee with claims against the rear admiral Ronny Jackson drinking on the job while with president obama.
