She is with the Cherokee Nation and serves as a delegate to the house of representatives and is the principal chief here good morning. Can you talk about the history of the nation. How we get a delegate to congress . The treaty contains a specific provision, it states we should have a delegate in the house of representatives. Treaty two speaks about a deputy.

Hopkins. The president tweeting out the following. Quote, because we have done so well with energy over the last few years, thank you, mr.

What is the status of that, what exactly are they looking at, will you submit to an interview even though youre no longer with the Justice Department and if they find any misconduct, will you resign . First, i dont know what the status of that is. I would refer that to the office of professional responsibility. I dont speak for them.
