Same wave length. The relationship has been very good and thats what i need as secretary of state. I wish Rex Tillerson well. Gina, by the way, who i know very well, who i worked very closely with, will be the first woman director of the cia. Shes an outstanding person who also i have gotten to know very well. Ive gotten to know a lot of people very well over the last year and im really at a point where were getting very close to having the cabinet and other things that i want. But i think mike pompeo will be a truly great secretary of state. I have total confidence in him. And as far as Rex Tillerson is concerned, i very much appreciate his commitment to his service and i wish him well. We got along actually quite well, but we disagreed on things. When you look at the iran deal, i think it is terrible, i guess he thought it was okay. I wanted to either break it or do something, and he felt a little bit differently. So we were not really thinking the same. You heard it right there. Kai
Exactly the president is thinking. White house lawyer ty cobb had to issue a statement over the weekend and he said media speculation, saying the white house yet again confirms that President Trump is not considering or discussing the firing of the special counsel Robert Mueller. But the only reason the media was speculating about the president potentially firing the special counsel is because of the president himself directly attacking Robert Mueller, first time hes done so by name on twitter.

Publicly, we saw the president going after Robert Mueller and t
Mccains service to our nation and he and his family are in our prayers during this difficult time. Now, we know that this is causing quite a bit of blowback here to the administration. There are many members of congress including senator lindsey graham, very close with senator mccain who said there is no one on capitol hill who is laughing about these comments. And we know that sadler herself did reach out to Meghan Mccain, the daughter of john mccain, to apologize for her comments and try to mend the fences. But at this point, the mccain family is still very upset over this. Let me read for you the tweet put out by cindy mccain directed at kelly sadler. I remind you my husband has a family, seven children and five grandchildren. John mccain is still recovering from that brain tumor and the subsequent treatment as a result of it. Lindsey graham said yesterday that he visited with mccain recently and that he is improving, hes continuing to fight and he still hopes to be back in the sena

Did he lie when he said he didnt know about the payments to Michael Cohen. Questions about that. Also questions about what Rudy Giuliani says about the issue of obstruction of justice and why the president fired james comey. Much more on that in a minute. First, m. J. Lee following every detail of these new arguments on the Stormy Daniels case. For months the white house has been trying to wave everyone away from the Stormy Daniels story, saying the affair never happened, they didnt know about this payment, and that donald trump denies all of the allegations related to Stormy Daniels. Rudy giuliani changed all of that last night in just one interview.
