Honored that recusal with regard to matters pending the Department Of Justice, but i just want to comment on what may have been on anybody elses mind or offer any opinion about that because its not for me to make those decisions. Well, it is exactly, i think, why Senator Schatz asked a whole series of questions about the scope of recusal, because i am a lawyer. Senator schatz may not be. He asked better questions than i did, but i also am having real difficulty understanding the scope of the recusal, its contours in definition, and i have an unresolved question about whether or not thats why the Attorney General failed to appear before us today, is to avoid having to answer direct questions about the scope of his recusal. I do appreciate and respect your appointment of a highly talented Special Counsel, and there have been questions from both sides that imply strong support for his independence and his conduct, and i appreciate the care with which you are answering my questions, but im
Middle income people and for jobs. It will also benefit lots of other things. I mean, were looking to if you look at the whole thing, everybodys going to benefit. But i think the greatest benefit is going to be for jobs and for the middle class, middle income. All right, cnns Boris Sanchez joining us from the white house. The president sounding really confident going into this week as he heads off to camp david. But, you know, hes not quite doing a victory lap just yet. Thats right, fred. Hes still kind of selling this bill as you just heard him do before he departs for camp david. Right now the white house is cautiously optimistic that barring any kind of procedural snafu this will be their first major legislative victory, the passing of the first major Tax Reform Bill in more than 30 years. Theyre confident, in part, because weve seen some republican senators that were previously in the no Column Switching over to yes, including florida senator marco rubio who drew a red line on thur
The latest news from around the world with host Brooke Baldwin. Needed for a long time. I think these are people who cant speak publicly and they depend on their leadership to speak out. Fbi director Christopher Wray pushed back a little while ago. A few months ago. I think that its great that this message has been sent and remember, ana, that every time the president talks about how much he hates the fact that Jeff Sessions recused himself, this is an angle that is being investigated by the Special Counsel in terms of the obstruction of Justice Charges for firing james comey. So each of these tweets is yet another piece of evidence that goes to this longstanding resentment and grudge that he has that as david kris said, he has not been protected and had an expectation that this investigation would go away. David, what does trump do now . Because sessions just made pretty clear loyalty isnt on the table. Yes, well, i would have loved to have been a fly on the wall

whitaker was telling the truth and maybe he knows there will be no charges of collusion or kpirs conspiracy. is that possible? whatever else you can say about whitaker is he has access to information that none of us in the press do. he is the supervisor of the mueller investigation. so the fact that he says it s wrapping up is deeply significant. that s why we are putting so much focus on it. there have been questions about donald trump, jr., questions about actual charges of some sort of conspiracy between the trump campaign and russian interests. none of the charges have come to fruition. and they may not. i would say the chances of their not coming to fruition increased with whitaker s announcement today. is that how you see it, laura?
gets left up to bill barr, the president s permanent nominee for attorney general. if he s confirmed that might be an issue that s punted for a little bit. maybe whitaker has nothing to do with it. there is the issue before the supreme court of this mysterious company that s owned by some foreign government not wanting to cooperate. that s unresolved. does it have to be resolved before mueller releases a report? mueller can release a report whenever he wants. presumably the fact that it s gone to the supreme court must be pretty important to mueller. good point. but i certainly don t have enough information to say that it s indispensable to his filing a report. but he obviously wants the information. jeffrey, jennifer, laura, thank you very much. in about an hour the nation s top intelligence and law enforcement officials will testify before a senate panel on worldwide threats. lauren fox is live on capitol hill with a preview. what do we expect? reporter: good morning.
