Until january 20th. But its already happened. Breaking news from the only place we get breaking news anymore, Donald Trumps twitter. Tweeting he is going to be separating himself and leaving my great business to fully focus on running the country. Him not actively running the country is the minimum step. So who will run his companies once that process is complete . That will all be worked out. Having your family involved or step in for you is not removing a conflict. Many people would argue its a greater conflict. Is it fair to ask the question at this point whatever happened to populist donald trump . He is choosing washington, d. C. And wall street insiders to stack his team. Steve mnuchin for treasury secretary and devos. Is this draining the swamp . Theyre basically defending the very stuff that trump riled against. We are going to drain the swamp. This is probably the greatest bait and switch since trump university. Well, it is happening. And its happening way, way faster than we
Serious enough to recommend a neighborhood nearby evacuate. From sky eyes perspective, the area of the refinery where the explosion and then fire happened, an operator in the area was injured. That was coverage from the local abc station in houston at the time of this refinery explosion in march. Thankfully it was only one person who was hurt in this blast but it was big enough, scary enough, you can see it from this local coverage. It was scary enough that it put a spotlight on that plant and not in a good way. Part of what turned up in the local coverage of the aftermath of that explosion and fire was the bad record at that plant. They had a bafety record. In 2015, 17 ants in and around pasadena, texas, reported on their workplace injuries for the year, almost a third of all the workplace injuries for that year came from that one plant. Out of 17 plants who were reporting. After that explosion and that fire in march, the Houston Chronicle further dug in. They found that on the day th
Happening before, we believe, at the white house with israels leader. And that question of whether Jared Kushner, what can he do . And the other controversial issue of the embassy that i just brought up. The question is, will he be that right person . Trump has made it very clear that he is giving this issue to Jared Kushner to lead the way on. Jared kushner is taking a formal role in the administration where he is going to be looking specifically at trade policy, at policy by the middle east. I think on the night before the inauguration at one of the balls, trump addressed Jared Kushner and said if jared cant fix peace in the middle east, nobody can. But, again, jareds role, Senior Administration officials think it is even though thats the stated areas he will have a role in, its sort of like his role in the campaign. Overseeing the social media accounts and it grew. This is an administration where the job titles dont necessarily tell you what role people are playing. I think that jar

In a moment were going to update you on Donald Trumps latest attack, this time on a civil rights icon, representative john lewis. But first, harry reid calling fbi director james comey to resign last month on this show. At the time senator reid alleged that the footbabi deliberately withheld information to help donald trump win. Prohibiting partisan politicking when the fbi disclosed the Anthony Weiner related development in the Hillary Clinton email probe 11 days before the election. Now months later the Justice Department Inspector General says that he will review the fbis email investigation, especially during those vital days leading up to novem
