when jeff sessions as attorney general made that recusal, that made this man, rod rosenstein, the de facto attorney general in charge of overseeing any investigations related to the 2016 campaign including the russia investigation. this is deputy attorney general rod rosenstein. he s the one who appointed the special counsel robert mueller. he s the one who mueller reports to at the justice department. rod rosenstein was appointed by president trump. he s a republican. nobody quite knows what to make of him and his inclinations on the russia investigation, which he has steadfastly refused to discuss in public, other than to say that he believes mueller is doing a good job and that he s the right man for the job. but then today, surprise, whole bunch of reporters, including scott wong from the hill newspaper were staking out paul ryan s office. they were staking out the peopler of the house, his office today, hoping to catch some news about budget negotiations in congress. they re all
and 307 mass shootings. how can that be with the numbers being the way they are? many people ask that because they look and say i did not hear about all of these other ones? it has to do with the methodology, and the archives that have to do behind these numbers. they re saying any time four people, not counting the shooter, wind up being shot, not necessari necessarily killed either, in any kind of event. it could be gang violence and it could be domestic violence and it could be a robbery gone wrong. it doesn t matter. any of those they count a mass shooting as long as it s four peopler more and that may be at odds with what a lot of people consider a mass shooting like columbine or pulse nightclub. if you accept their definition this is what you see in terms of the change you see it moving up from 273 here to 233 and 283, but i will tell you, brooke, the number that probably matters more for people who consider gun violence an important issue in
this is past a police barricade. we were talking to them. they let us through because we were with the press. it s just us and people that live in this area. this is why, because the road has bake allege been washed out. you got sand on both sides, in fact, this is an area dug out by earth movers, but the sand was so bad a little while ago, you see the big truck on the left here with different axle. this was stuck here in some sand. it took an earth mover to push them out. this is the little pathway that they ve created. this is about as far as we can go, though, i want to show you around this corner, it s basically as far as you can see, this is the type of sapped about three-to-four feet in this roadway. it stretches about 4 miles. so this is what people are digging out from here, thomas, back to you. all right. thank you very much. keep us posted on what you are seeing down there. appreciate it i want to take you out to las vegas and update what s happening there. because tonight
but when he gets to europe he ll be dealing with a lot of peopler who are skeptical of trump, come from political cultures that are similar to the united states and criticism of president trump trump is even more intense than it is here. politico had an interesting feature on this where he s basically considered a laughingstock and you have all these instructions to people at the nato meeting about the need to not speak for more than two or four minutes because the president has such a short attention span and you have this acute awareness or sense that maybe he s not going to be president for all that much longer and that he s so weakened domestically by all of his own scandals that his power to do whatever he might do that would be hostile or difficult for the european union is reduced. so i think, you know, the joy that he s going to get from the reception in saudi arabia is going to be short lived. when we think about as you characterize that, you know, impression of being a la
help african-americans if you don t have that meeting because you wonlt go there if steve bannon is there? they re going to have toity side where that line should be drawn. i m sfrfrmt it s not acceptable to have someone like steve bannon in the white house and we re not going to legitimatize him by talking with him. there s new reaction to the president s remarks today denouncing anti-semitism. the presidenting across the united states. peter alexander joins us live from the white house. peopler, there s been a good
