He was facing an uphill battle. A lot of people, including the republicans do not believe he has the experience of Veterans Affair and though he does have credentials as a doctor, he does not have the credentials to run something that brig. Its still a very fluid situation. Right now the president says hes standing by dr. Ronnie johnson and hes going to leave whether he steps aside up to Ronny Jackson. I heard the line where you have trump saying we wish to work on this new deal with iran. Can you tell me what it is the president of the United States wants and what is it about this deal that macron that hed being to change . Reporter look, all we know is the line you just cited. Theres no more information coming from the president what
this deal might be. The french president went into much more detail. He said dont rip up the current deal until you have something else. So keep the deal this is the french president laying out his argumen arguments, he said keep the deal and we need ano
In an investigation that implicates either me or my campaign because youre my Attorney General. Its my Justice Department and whats more, you can be a hero to conservatives if youll investigate my vanquished rival. When we meet with parliamentarians from emerging democracies we always urge them when you win an election, you dote seek to jail the losing side. Here our own president of the United States is trying to do exactly that. How big a deal is it fundamentally . Well, its a big deal in this respect. Its further evidence of a corrupt intent on the president s part. Further evidence that he may have violated the law by obstructing justice in the firing of comey. But in other efforts, as well. One of the other disturbing signs we saw just today is the president s announcement that hes going to pardon someone who had violated Campaign Finance laws by surreptitiously exceeding limits. It looks a lot like a message to Michael Cohen who may also be
implicated in exceeding Campaign Limits
They say that created an unknown factor. Other climates talk about the tax cuts for a sugar rush. They say its not clear if people will spend in the if youture as they did during the Second Quarter. President trump addressed the issue of sustainability. He predicted growth of 3 or better. Emphasis on better. Here is the president. In the Second Quarter of this year the United States economy grew at the amazing rate of 4. 1 . Ill say this right now and ill say it strongly. As the trade deals come in one by one well go higher than these numbers. So, neil, most economist if you look at on average what they expect they expect 2. 5 through the end of 2019. That eye higher than the 2 they have been tracking. These are the same economist. Yes, indeed. All right, thank you very much. Now to the remark the president made to sean. He thinks if you think this is off the charts how about eight or nine percent. He said he could do that by have the Trade Deficit that will have a benefit to the couns
And other countries are taking advantage of that. What do you think about the scope of our presence at some of these Rule Setting Meetings . What are your plans for the future . Senator, we need to be there. We need to be active. We need to be capable. We need to be value added. We need to come prepared to engage and work for americas interests in these multilateral discussions. I think you described wto in this article. Sounds like we share that sentiment. I couldnt tell you why we werent there. I dont know if it was an absence of people or the absence of focus. I view those as important to get the International Rule of law thats in accord with our view and not the chinese view in that particular instance. You have concerns and i will do my best to make sure were there and were capable. Appreciate it, that answer. I want to get a little bit of clarification with respect to an answer that you gave Senator Menendez at the outset coming back to that meeting with the president on march 22
Coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. Coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. Stories here, who has more perceived credibility at this point . Its a tough call. What do you think . Well, thats a good question, i dont think either one of them does. President trump says things that are untrue all the time. He has about this very anecdote because the New York Times reported a year ago he helped create a false statement about this meeting. Don jr. Most likely told his father about this meeting, its not plausible that he wouldnt have. Michael cohen doesnt have credibility. Rudy giuliani doesnt have credibility. I think what this does, we dont know again if this is collusion, if collusion is a crime. If this is actually an impeachable offense. Well wait for mueller to figure this out. Whether or not there was a direct act that could be
translated from collusion to conspiracy. But i think what this does is, with Michael Cohen
