In todays press briefing sar asanders asked over and over again how the president justifies support of moore. You have the choice between two individuals and the president s chosen to support moore. Again, weve said that the allegations are concerning. And if true, he should step aside. But we dont have a way to validate that, and thats something for the people of alabama to decide, which weve also said. And we maine that. And ultimately it will come down to the people of alabama to make that decision. How can that vote in the senate be that important that you would take a gamble on somebody thats been accused of molesting kids, of harming someone whos underage . As ive said thats something for the people of alabama to decide. Im not a voter in alabama and cant make that decision. Why endorse him, beside youre influencing the decision by endorsing him. And secondly are you saying that no matter who runs as a member of the gop, its okay as long as you are in lock step with the president

We can tell you thats what bob muellers trying to figure out. The when, like when donald trump learned of the russian email hack. Thats what mueller is now asking.

President s own party have repeatedly said he should not cross. Our jim acosta is traveling with the president. Well get to the details of the speech in just a moment. What can you tell us on this front . Poppy, as you said, the president is geding ready to depart davos. He laid out what he believes to be a pretty spoton economic record over the last year since he came into office. As you were mentioning a few moments ago, the president did respond to the Robert Mueller story in the New York Times that he tried to fire the special counsel in june of last year prompting his own white House Counsel, don mcgann, to threaten to resign.

Standing by its assuretion the order for daca that was put in by president obama was a circumvention of the powers of the United States congress and they say they will continue to litigate over this issue. Very interesting also that the executive branch in this case is advocating for the powers of the legislative branch, and thats where we are.
