We are all in this together. We must put politics aside, stop the partisanship and unify together as one nation and one family. Trump made the announcement in a National Address on wednesday, saying the u. S. Will suspend all passenger travel from most of europe for the next 30 days from the end of friday. American citizens and their families are not included. The United Kingdom is also exempt from the suspension, although trump did not explain why. He said the European Union had failed to take the same precautions as the u. S. To combat the virus.

came out an hour ago and there is say lot of data here and how the former president is responding. so as as you said, we have team combing through hundreds of pages but trump paid a very low amount of income tax in the first and last year of presidency. we re talking about 2017 he paid $750. 2018 and 2019, it was combined $1.1 million in income tax and in 2020 it was $0 and that is important and here is why. we hope the tax returns will show the raw data of the numbers but it is looking at the detailed documents that were providing to give us insight into his businesses. are they really as successful as he has said. and i talked to a number of tax experts who say that $0, that indicates that there might be been some faltering business. he said in 2016 it was smart not to pay taxes when he was talking with hillary clinton about why he wouldn t release them. but is it actually business losses? which is important when you think about the political ramifications of a man who ra

hello, everyone. at this hour departure boards bringing post-christmas misery to travelers everywhere. one major u.s. carrier is the big source of a nationwide headache. plus, incoming congressman george santos says he should get a pass for lying about virtually every single detail of his resume because not telling the truth is not a crime. and new cnn exclusive reporting about why you ll pay less at the pump now, but should be preparing for more pain in the spring. this is what we re watching at this hour. we begin this hour with the blame game playing out at southwest airlines. thousands of stranded travelers just want to get where they are going but bad weather, bad planning and bad systems mean more than 25 hundred southwest flights grounded today so far. that s around 90% of all flights canceled in the u.s. southwest passengers can t get through to customer service and its employees are struggling to speak to the people in charge. it s just it s frustrating for pil
