maggie. no. and he said some version whaef said befo of what he has said before, i was running for president, why would i shut out any option? he s right there is nothing legally problematic with tipping to run yocontinuing to run your business as you re running for president, but appearance going to raise questions when you re dealing with a foreign entity and nation that s been hostile to the u.s. if you are dhog oin this in the middle of an election, especially if it comes out that country tried to influence the election in your favor. the president also i think offered more clarity on where he sees this wall debate and the shutdown discussions going. the bipartisan group of congress people are meeting behind closed deals trying to work out a deal. president made clear he didn t think this is going to happen. in all of this it seemed to me to be declaring some kind of new
