The president , himself, has intentionally misinformed, read that, lied, to the American People in the aftermath of this tragedy. This is not simply a coverup of a third rate burglary. We

Top of the hour, im don lemon. The northeast bracing for another round of severe weather. From ohio to maine today with some areas of eastern massachusetts getting blasted with more than 8 inches. D.
