I think he is tieback to the rain athe uranium at one scandal. And the dossier which is allegedly filled with fraud and misstatements, is that relied upon by the fbi to initiate the investigation which they do have an indictment which coincidentally seems to be diverting attention from this massive fusion scandal that brought bedtime this week. Now click back at how we got here. The Justice Department appointed mueller on 17 may. After james comey was fired. A month later we learned that he was investigating President Trump for obstruction of justice. A week after that emerge that the investigation had turned to the president s finances. On july 26, the fbi raided the home of former trump chairman Paul Manifort. On 5 August Mueller had a grand jury in the present csa with the first charges were reportedly filed. We have Team Coverage on this. Kristin fisher is live at the white house. But we can with Garrett Tenney in washington. We do not know exactly is being charged him and also ind
Not a hostage to a dictators twisted fantasies of violent conquest and Nuclear Black map youre welcome to the journal editorial report. Im paul gigot. That was the president on his trip to asia. It stops in China Vietnam and the philippines. The white house is selling many goals for the trip this includes the denuclearization of north korea. An expanding American Economic and trade interest in the pacific. Joining me now we have former Us Ambassador to the united nations, john bolton. Welcome ambassadors. You have seen involve the president s speech and what i was struck with and particularly in china, was the kind of the grandeur of it, the mutual flattery, the bonhomie, you are great man, no you are a great man. And it is good feeling okay great but what do we see substantively out of this us and china deal . I do not think that we have really seen anything.

The white house is pushing to cut the Corporate Tax rate. It claims thats going to raise wages. Right now the Corporate Tax rate, the statutory rate, is at 35 . Often you hear people say highest in the world. Thats because it is, at least one of. Not the highest, one of the highest in the industrialized world except most dont pay that. Pay a different rate depending how many loopholes. We calculate to be about 18. 5 . They want to bring it down to 25 insisting those cuts will stimulate growth and increase the annual Household Income by an average of about 4,000. They were saying 4,000 to 9,000, now were hearing 4,000. Ill ask about that in a moment.

If it is a one off kind of there could be false statements made to the fbi. It could be obstruction of justice that someone destroyed documents. Those things could have an effect in terms of telling the other witnesses out there you better cooperate or else we will go after you. We do know over the last six months spec
But there is already concern inside of the Democratic Party that those promises arent enough. Here is how it all played out today. The white house refused to engage in negotiations over the weekend. The great dealmaking president sat on the sidelines. The strategy to shout to shut down the government over the issue of illegal immigration is something the American People didnt understand. And would not have understood in the future. So im glad weve gotten past that. To all of the d. R. E. A. M. Ers who are watching today, dont give up. I know that your lives are hanging in the balance on what we do here on capitol hill and with the white house.
