the reason son-in-laws and daughters don t serve in administrations, because it usually doesn t turn out in banana republics. no matter how closer to the principal, you are not getting invited to thanksgiving, but rarely is the family in the administration. you bring up a great point, you both do, because ultimately the melania trump and the rik d ricardel, you have been doing all kinds of reporting on all this stuff and you make the case that if you just take a step back from this, this white house had a hard enough time staffing up the first time. this is not going to help. i think that s going to be the biggest problem for this
all family members of billy graham, some sons and some son-in-law s. making his way to the tent there. i think one of the things we want to look at today as we watch the services that in a sense it is billy graham s last crusade, having died at the age of 99. he knew this day was going to, and didn t fear it at all. he said he looked forward to meeting god and to dealing with him face-to-face and especially being reunited with his beloved wife ruth. he also planned this funeral, an awful lot of what you are going to see today was part of what billy graham wanted to transmit to the nation as a kind of final crusade. he had been an evangelical leader since the 1940s. back in 1949, an eight week crusade at the canvas cathedral. a tent set up at los angeles,
table and that the president s listening session on guns today will include members of the parkland community. no word yet on exactly who. there will also be others affected by previous school shootings including columbine and sandy hook. tonight jake tapper hosts a cnn town hall on guns, stand up: the students of stoneman douglas demand action. officials including senator marco rubio will take questions. that s tonight at 9:00 eastern only on cnn. the new york times is reporting overnight that jared kushner and white house chief of staff john kelly refeuding over the president s son-in-law s kelly are feuding over the president of the united states s son-in-law s clearance. the times says that kushner is resisting giving up access. he s also concerned he is a specific target of kelly s recent directive which is overhauling the white house clearance system. kelly s order cancels top-level clearances at the end of this week for any staffer whose background investigation
