He criticized the Trump Administration for not adhering to ethical norms that previous administrations have observed and what it might mean for the future. Jamie thank you. I want to thank everyone coming out today and those joining us this morning via cspan. My name is jamie horowitz, im on the Headliners Committee here at the National Press club. On behalf of our president , jeff, and our 3,000 members, were honored today to have mr. Walter shaub jr. With us. I want to say that yesterday as i was driving perhaps more accurately, stuck in washington traffic listening to radio news and despite all the drama going on about health care, i was taken by the fact that so many of the news stories had words like, emoluments clause, ethics, rich peoples problems, legal precedent, those kinds of phrases in story after story after story.

Historians hosted this 90minute discussion at their annual meeting in st. Louis. We will go ahead and get started since the moment has arrived and others may trickle in after lunch.

Now, those hackers are accused of stealing data from. 500 million yahoo users. You may be one of them. Nbc bay area sharon is live at the offices of the fbi in San Francisco.
