Jeff bennett, our white house correspondent, joins us now. We were speaking with your good colleague, monica alba, just moments ago.

On the trump team talk to Michael Cohen about his congressional testimony before before he gave congressional testimony or after he gave congressional testimony . I can tell you first of all, i wasnt the lawyer at the time. Right. Michael cohens lawyers reviewed his testimony with him. Yeah, but did President Trump no, no. Let me answer the question okay.

White house officials have prepared a range of options for President Trump to consider. Hes been briefed on those options, but theres no clear timetable for rolling out those gun control proposals, although white house officials do say that they aim to have something ready to go by the Time Congress comes back from their august recess. That of course is fast approaching. President trump as you mentioned, hes been all over the map when it comes to gun control measures in the wake of thebacktoback mass shootings. Behind closed doors, hes been cooling to the idea of tougher background checks, because lawmakers and the nra and allies have been telling him he could actively hurt himself with his base and score few political points where he were to back the expansive background checks.
