Job as trying to adhere to the statute and the rules that have been put in place to deliver on those concepts. Purchase thank the gentleman. As i recognize mr. Walker here i want to respond to what you just said and highlight, again, under the rules you did have the discretion to make it public and you elected not to. I think what congress should consider is compelling you to make that open and transparent rather than just simply makes it discretionary. Recognize the gentleman from North Carolina mr. Walker for five minutes. Thank you mr. Chairman. Being a relatively new member in congress, im learning things every day. In fact, i had already known that al gore had invented the internet, but today i found out, according to miss maloney that the president has saved the internet. Just to be curious, do you think thats a statement thats fair . Do you think his involvement has saved the internet for the future . I think this is a much bigger issue, congressman. I think the internet is the
Mueller apparently intended for all of us to read as his summary that it was ready for public dissemination. Thats right. The New York Times and the Washington Post reported that summaries were prepared by muellers investigators. These stories came out around the same time they reported that some of the folks involved in the Mueller Investigation were unhappy with how their 22 month probe was being represented by barr and others. These were summaries that were ready weeks ago when barr first made his first run through pulling i think just 44 words or sentence fragments. We have never seen a complete sentence as crafted by Robert Muellers team. Its been 22 months of an investigation and now i think more than three weeks of barrs spin on that investigation without a single complete sentence. As you said, there were summaries ready to go. Theres also im told to look for around the known flashpoints in the obstruction of justice
investigation. Some sort of narrative representation or depic
You. For going on three years innocent people have been accused of very serious crimes, including treason. Accusations made even here today. They have had their lives disrupted and in some cases destroyed by false accusations for which there is absolutely no basis other than some people desperately wish that it was so. But your report is clear. No evidence of conspiracy, no evidence of coordination. I believe we owe it to these people, who have been falsely accused, including the president and his family, to make that very clear. Mr. Mueller, the credibility of your report is based on integrity of how it is handled. Theres something that i think bothers me and other americans. Im holding a binder of 25 examples of leaks that occurred from the Special Counsels office and those associated with you dating back to a few weeks after your inception and beginning of your work and continuing up to just a few months ago. All of these, all of them, have
one thing in common. They were designed to
Cruise ship. The cdc now working with officials in california after discovering another cruise ship with confirmed case ts of the virus. That ship called the grand princess now getting ready to dock in San Francisco. Coronavirus cases were traced back to the ships previous voyage. All right. Now, this comes as the number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the United States stands at 157. It has been rising through the day. Its up 54 in the past two days, increased in part due to more testing. We are seeing growing numbers around the world. In france, the number of cases spiked from 73 to 285 in one day. Now, officials in california are also tonight confirming another death which brings the death toll in the United States to 11. It is serious, and yet President Trump continues to have people question his credibility when it comes to his response. Heres something he said today. The Obama Administration made a decision on testing that turned out to be very detrimental to what were doing. A
And he was on the job less than two years. It waged a difficult war and we learned just this past weekend an administration rethinking that drawdown. We have live updates from the pentagon and the white house. We will also speak to a Defense Department former insider rosa brooks who has a firsthand take on one of the names topping that list for secretary hagel. Lets start with jim miklaszewski. Jim, defense and told you that the white house lot of confidence in hagel. Tell us about that. This didnt come as a shock to many here in the pentagon. Many thought it was only a matter of timing. Because they felt that it was an uneasy fit from the time that secretary hagel came here into the pentagon. Many thought he was way too compliant and did not challenge the white house strongly enough on many Foreign Policy issues. They thought it was inevitable that at sometime, the white house would replace hagel. Some believed that the timing after the midterm elections was to avoid any political fal
