security of any american at risk is a flat out lie. meantime, the white house trying to discredit the article from buzz feed that reports that president trump directed michael cohen to lie to congress about the negotiations to build a trump tower, potentially in moscow. buzz feed said cohen told as much to bob mueller s special counsel. here s sarah sanders a little while ago. that s absolutely ridiculous. i think that the president s outside counsel addressed this best and said in a statement earlier today that it s categorically false. even with the shut down, it s been a busy day here at if white house. president trump met with north korea s top negotiator and the white house says that president trump and kim jong-un of north korea are set for a second meeting at some point toward the end of next month. neil? neil: thanks, blake burman. a lot going on and this weekend not only in the political storm variety but more nature variety.
