A recap of the days news. A recap of the days news. A recap of the days news. Through the Revolving Door down here, theres a word that became a word i never heard of until this presidency when people were sort of struggling with how to describe this government of sort of fringe characters, people with resumes that did not usually enter into government service. And that word is chacistocracy. It points in this presidency, its been an apt way to describe it. To paraphrase donald trump, theyre not sending their best. And i think the evidence that you its not a partisan point, you laid out the evidence there of an administration that is just filled with people who have either crossed ethical
lines or challenged norms that we have all upheld for decades in this country. And all being led by the president at the top who sets that tone. Lets talk more about the swamp here, Rudy Giuliani says they have responded to muellers latest proposal regarding an interview. These allegations should be ov
This country what it is. Im proud of you and your family. Dont ever forget where you came from, boy. Yes, maam, absolutely right. Amen to that. Thank you, chris. See you soon. This is cnn tonight, im don lemon, Chris Collins of new york stands indicted in an alleged Insider Trading scheme. Accused of multiple counts of fraud. It is rare for prosecutors to indict a sitting elected official, particularly in an election year. The u. S. Attorney in new york says that collins acted as if laws, well, they didnt apply to him. Donald trump has accomplished in this primary, is unprecedented. Donald trump is absolutely brilliant, and Donald Trumps a
swamp of washington, were going to have fun doing it, were all doing it together. When it comes to washington, d. C. , it is time to drain the swamp.
