Dying. The latest mixed message unlikely to tamp down the concerns of allies and fellow republicans. Kaitlan collins is live at the white house. Any clarity from officials over there about the president s latest tweets . Reporter not yet. Another twitter post, another proposal made here with very few details. And this is certainly something that would be very significant, especially for canada, one of the number one exporters of steel and aluminum to the United States. And a few mixed messages coming with this tweet because around the same time that the president posted this tweet, his trade adviser, one of the chief architects of the tariff proposals was on another network saying something a little different. I understand if we get a great nafta agreement, and ambassador light heiser is trying to do that. That would be a great thing for the american people. At this point in time, 25 on steel, 10 on aluminum, no country exclusions, firm line in the sand. So there you see Peter Navarro
Firestorm over rob porter, the top aide who resigned amid allegations that he physically abused his two exwives. The president goes off script, praising porter and seemingly casting doubt on the entire me too movement. We have a lot to cover with all ofa Kaitlan Collins is at the white house for us. What are you hearing . Reporter it has been six days now since rob porter first resigned over the allegations. And the white house has still been unable to give us a consistent explanation as to who knew what and when about these allegations. And now another source of confusion is coming from inside the own white house with the president s own staffers questioning why he is expressing two very different sentiments over rob porter.

The president with a major new hire tonight. President trump adding former federal prosecutor, Joseph Digenova to his russia legal team. And if that name st. Familiar to you, what comes out of his mouth should be. Digenova is a mini me to President Trump. In fact, perhaps his greatest asset to the president is his embrace of a trumpian conspiracy theory.
