I have not relied on russian funds for my businesses. And i have been fully transparent in providing all requested information. Donald trump had a better message and ran a smarter campaign and this is why he won. Suggesting otherwise ridicules those who voted for him. For his part, President Trump is engaged in a social Media Campaign against his own beleaguered attorney general and the gop. That has many people scratching their heads today. Here was a president this morning when asked a question about Jeff Sessions. Mr. President , should Jeff Sessions resign . Its unclear if the president was rolling his eyes at the question or at being asked a question at which was clearly a photoop not a press conference. This came after the Early Morning tweet storm from President Trump who wrote this today. Quote so why arent the committees and investigators and of course our beleaguered ag looking into crooked hillarys crimes answer russians and russians relations . Schiff spends all his time on
Attending the concert. Although she was unarmed, as soon as the shooting began, she threw on a Yellow Police vest and began evacuating victims. And aaron stocker, a veteran, rushed to the scene to search for his loved ones. When he couldnt find them, he began helping every person he could. As he recounts, we used the plastic barriers as gurneys to carry the injured to transportation. I made splints out of whatever i could find and used anything to stop the horrible bleeding. Among the wounded was the mother of aarons girlfriend. She is still in the hospital, and we are all pulling for her. To every hero we helped, every hero saved so many lives. And believe me, a grateful nation thanks you. The example of those whose final act was to sacrifice themselves for those they loved should inspire all of us to show more love every day for the people who grace our lives. In the months ahead, we will all have to wrestle with the horror of what has unfolded this week. But we will struggle through
Entirely up to the department of justice. Brian . Going back to russia just a bit. When he says he spoke with putin, and he believed he meant what he did. In other words there was no collusion with the government. He actually says he believed that putin believed what he says and he wasnt going to get into an argument with that when they had bigger things like north korea and the issues in syria they needed to deal with. So the question being, hes always maintained it was the democrats who colluded with russia. Is he saying putin exonerated the democrats . The president still firmly believes there was collusion with the democrats during this election process. But hes not going to get into the back and forth with a world leader that he needs to work with and wants to work with in order to deal with some of the big and serious things facing our country right now. As a new yorker, is President Trump concerned that the potential tax increases for hardworking new yorkers who can no longer de
We have reports from capitol hill, the pentagon and the white house, but i want to start with nbcs kasie hunt on capitol hill. It seems what weve seen over the last 12 hours have been increasing questions from lawmakers from both parties about what went on during this raid and when were going to get more information about it. Reporter hallly, thats right. And i think really at this point there are more questions than answers from a lot of lawmakers up here on capitol hill. And you are seeing this kind of bubbling under the surface and ready to come out into the open. And i think right now, you know, the question is going to be, okay, how does the white house respond to this pressure . Are they going to send people up from the pentagon to brief on this . But as you and your white house colleagues have come to find out the last 12 hours, its been very difficult to get information out of the white house about the backstory on this raid. I think we have a little bit of sound that we can sh
I feel very badly, john. I will say this. Hillary clinton lied many times to the fbi. Nothing happened to her. Flynn lied, and they destroyed his life. I think its a shame. Hillary clinton on the 4th of july weekend went to the fbi, not under oath, it was the most incredible thing anyones ever seen. She lied many times. Nothing happened to her. Flynn lied, and its like they ruined his life. Its very unfair. That came after a weekend of controversy for the president because he was so boisterous and verbose over twitter, including what read to a lot of people like an accidental confirmation of obstruction of justice. Quote, i had to fire general flynn because he lied to the vicepresident and the fbi. He has pled guilty to those lies. It is a shame because his actions during the transition were lawful. There was nothing to hide. Thats a problem for the president on a number of levels, but the very next day the white house told the press that tweet was dictated by the president s lawyer, j
