Nbcs casey hunt is on capitol hill. And stephanie rule is in our washington bureau. Lets say yet again Halle Jackson something comes out of nowhere. Its been 20 hours since we learned about puzder. What are we expecting is this going to be a News Conference where he will take questions. During the campaign what we saw was the Campaign Calling for a press conference but he does not take questions. The times this week he has taken questions from members of conservative learning outlets, there are still questions that linger about russia and, et cetera. Im not sure if he will make a east room statement or open it up to questions or frankly if Alexander Acosta is going to be there to be brought out. As he did with the Supreme Court justice. It was a dramatic unveiling. Im hearing from a source close to senator marco rubio. Im being told by this particular source just now that this was not part of the discussion, at least to this persons knowledge who heard about the meeting with President
Standpoint most people would have taken that meeting. And his soninlaw, Jared Kushner, under serious fire. New calls for the president s soninlaw to lose his security clearance. Jared kushner should be fired or he should resign. Plus, no margin for error. The new Republican Health care plan officially out with numerous senators still on the fence and they cannot afford to lose one more. This bill doesnt repeal obamacare. Im very disappointed because ive been very vocal about my concerns. All right. You know what we are going to start with, that nbc news exclusive, a former soviet counterintelligence officer with alleged ongoing ties to russian intelligence also happened to be in that controversial meeting last june with don junior, Paul Manafort and Jared Kushner. I want you to stay here because we have an amazing team of reporters and guests to break all of it down, but taking you first to Nbcs Kristen Welker live in paris where President Trump attended that high profile parade this m
It is completely out there in the open, but you look at the other senators, too, that find themselves in that position, whether its john mccain or jeff flake or Lisa Murkowski at times, heller at times, you can go down the list. Two things are really significant. One, people really do believe this guy may be setting himself up to be, the not named, but in reality, an independent president a. Guy thats completely plane up, his voting coalition. Thats the second most significant thing, willie, how does he get 50 votes on tax reform . How does he get 50 votes on infrastructure . Right now, nobody even inside the white house knows, because these wars actually upend his majority, his governing mo jaert. Thats the frustration we heard from Mitch Mcconnells office yesterday, they are trying to get things done this certainly doesnt help. With us to talk about it all, president on the Foreign Relations, author of the book a world in disarray. National political reporter carol lee, senior politi
Investigations, i was not expecting the secretary to talk about facebook in those terms and i think thats interesting and important and deserves some reflection. I think that facebook should answer to what she said. So thats kind of top line. I guess overall im probably still too much in the middle of it. I have to say at a personal level, im happy to see her doing well. When you see someone a lifetime public servant, been the wringer shes been through, we all imagine the personal toll that takes and so i was happy to read the book and think that its a good book and recognize her voice in it and doing this good work to produce this thing. Also happy to see her in person and she she is well. She is definitely still in the arena, though. Combative on the Trump Administration in without mincing words at all and very, very straightforward and very not aggressive is the right word but assertive and well informed on the russia stuff. So, shes this is not a retired politician. I know she said
That discussion is. Well, i mean, the facebook thing that i was just discussing right there, i think just as a as a point of focus in terms as a point of focus in terms of whats likely to happen next about the Russian Investigations, i was not expecting the secretary to talk about facebook in those terms and i think thats interesting and important and deserves some reflection. I think that facebook should answer to what she said. So thats kind of top line. I guess overall im probably still too much in the middle of it.
