Huge change of tone from the Presumptive Republican nominee. Listen to what he told lester holt just last week and then his comments from the past 48 hours. Id like to see a very high level, policyoriented campaign, if they treat me properly, im going to treat them properly. It would be a beautiful thing to see. Shes married to a man who hurt many women, and hillary, if you look and see, hillary hurt many women, the women that he abused. Do you remember the famous, i did not have sex with that woman and then a couple of months later, im guilty. And shes taking negative ads on me. Trump has been all over the map on tax rates for the highest earners, the rich. Now hes doing his best, i guess to clarify, sort of. Well tell you more about that. Plus his feud with House Speaker paul ryan and the new role for new jersey governor and trump endorser Chris Christie coming up in a bit. But right now, Loretta Lynch is at the podium. Lets listen in. Thank you all for being here. Im joined the head
Pursuant to the order of the house of june 8, 2016, the Unfinished Business is further consideration of the veto message of the president on house joint resolution 88. Republicans finally voted to adjourn around 3 00 a. M. But thats not stopping democrats. Lets get right to Kelly Odonnell on capitol hill this morning. How significant is what were seeing right now . Its so highly unusual and takes an issue like guns when there has been so much violence in urban places and shootings on the scale of what we saw in orlando and the sort of compilation effect of so many tragedies that this is coming at a point where the passion is taking hold and democrats who i think we were talking yesterday, when they were visiting with Hillary Clinton who made a stop on hill went from that meeting to begin this sitin. This is a case where onto the house rules longstanding and all parties know it and abide by it. Republicans in the majority get to control the rules. They didnt cut the feed in the sense of
Grimm case on gender bathroom issues. Any minute well have details on the new immigration order. Also, Trump Administration staff is standing by the president and his highly charged claim without offering any evidence whatsoever that president obama illegally wire tapped phones at trump tower during the 2016 election. The president s representatives Standing Firm on the morning shows today, even though a spokesman for president obama, his National Intelligence director and fbi director james comey had all rejected the president s allegation. Nbc news confirming that director comey is asking the Justice Department to issue a public rejection. The fbi director has said this did not happen. Does the president accept that or not . Reporter the president wants the truth to come out to the American People and he is asking that it be done through the House Intelligence Committee and that that be the process that we go through. He didnt say this is something we ought to look into. He said it h
Purger himself when he said he had not had any contacts with the russian. She said normal people would face jail time for such a thing. Her colleague on the senate side, chuck schumer, he wouldnt go that far. He did not say he believed Jeff Sessions had purgered himself before the committee. He did say he misled congress and that that was enough to call for his resignation. Other democrats following suit.

And there are fissures. You have a trail of senators out there saying Jeff Sessions needs to recuse himself from any investigation into russia and the Trump Campaign that may be going on. Senator Lindsey Graham is one of them. Senator susan collins. Senator dean heller. Senator rob portman, all kind of considered to be some of the more moderate voices in the republican party, people
Unlike that speech seen here there was no appearance by the. The today nor any by the Vice President and secretary of defense. Not even video of the signing.

Chris, why did we not see the president today rolling out this new executive order with the same sort of fanfare hes done almost every other executive order . Reporter thats the key question. We asked it when they did that almost hourlong call with seor administration fici anthe answer was ask the white house. So far the white hse isnt talking about that but there is the briefing off camera with sean spicer that is coming up at 1 30. Look, we both know that this is a central part of the campaign that President Trump waged, talking about making america safer, and that there was a lot of fanfare when he signed it the first time. This time, he did it without any cameras there, except a picture tweeted by sean spicer, no
