Pedophilia allegations against moore but criticizes al franken lecturing sexual assault. The allegations against moore and franken and trump are each quite different. Though trumps decision to selectively address allegations against others did raise a barrage of questions about these new attacks as well as his past today. Is it also fair to investigate this president and the allegations of Sexual Misconduct made against him by more than a dozen women . Look, i think this was covered pretty extensively during the campaign. How is this different . I think in one case specifically senator franken has admitted wrongdoing and the president hasnt. I think thats a clear distinction. Some critics said it was hypocritical of the president to tweet about al franken and not weigh in on roy moore. He did it while he was on a foreign trip in asia. Is it still the White House Position that all the women who accused the president of Sexual Misconduct are lying . The president has spoken about this mu
Blame. Two exwives ended up working side by side with the president and right hand of the chief of staff. The story magically, conveniently changed hours after the fbi director testified about a time line that directly contradicted what the white house had said just yesterday. The white house tried to make a case that you shouldnt believe your own eyes and ears you should believe each version of the white houses shifting narrative and you should believe the white house when you hear the president cares about victims of Domestic Violence. Again, this centers around porter who resigned last week after news broke had accused him of abuse. The picture showing his first wife with the black eye, the white house has been scrambling to come up with a consistent story when they learned about the allegations. They still have not been able to do that. Cnn reported that don mcgahn new a year ago and learned more details over the past year. Yesterday the white house said it learned of the extent of
Director Christopher Wray contradicted the white houses timeline on when it found out about abuse allegations against a senior aide, rob porter. So was the white house informed that this could affect his security clearance . Thats a yes or no. I cant get into the content of what was briefed to the white house. Were they informed . I can tell you is that the fbi submitted a partial report on the investigation in question in march. And then a completed Background Investigation in late july that soon thereafter, we received requests for followup inquiry. And we did the followup and provided that information in november. And then we add administratively closed the file in january. And then earlier this month, we received some Additional Information and we passed that on, as well. That testimony given under oath is at odds with the white house spin. Heres what raj shah and Sarah Huckabee sanders told reporters in recent days. His Background Investigation was ongoing. He was operating on and
Do it by speaking in contradictions and denying the reality you know to be true. Thats how the white house is gaslighting the American People daily in an effort to cover up how it handled the case of rob porter. Today, the white house changed its story and tried again to shift the blame for how a man who had been accused by Domestic Abuse by at least three women ended up working sidebyside with the president hand at the right hand of the chief of staff. The story, magically, changed hours after the fbi director testified about a timeline that directly contradicted what the white house had said just yesterday. The white house tried to make a case that you shouldnt believe your own eyes and your ears, you should, instead, believe each version of the white houses shifting narrative. And you should believe the white house when it says that the president really cares about victims of Domestic Violence, even though the president has never actually said that publicly. Again, this center s aro
Before cohns announcement. Let me bring in our senior White House Correspondent jeff zeleny with the why, the when and Gloria Borger to sort of go through some of this. First, jeff zeleny, to you. When did kudlow accept and why did the president pick him . Brooke, were told that the president offered a job in a phone call formally last evening and was accepted at the time. It could be announced as early as tomorrow. The president is flying from los angeles to st. Louis. He will be holding an event on the economy this afternoon and wants to draw attention to the economy. Look, he is trying to reshape his circle of advisers and is turning to loyal and trusted friends in many respects. Of course, larry k can udlow fits that directly. He has not always been on the same page but has always been on the president s side. He is a key adviser back during the president ial campaign, back when many republicans and conservatives were keeping at arms length, larry kudlow has been supportive. He has
