let s bring in our leadoff panel for this friday night. franco ordonez, white house correspondent for mcclatchy newspapers, covering immigration and foreign affairs. the new york times katie benner, pulitzer prize-winning reporter who covers the justice department. and yamiche alcindor, white house correspondent for news hour on pbs. thanks to all of you for being with us. katie, let me start with you. we have that reporting tonight about some movement on that issue of reunifying parents with children, at least some of them. you cover the justice department, the legal end of this. it sounded like there was still plenty of confusion when that executive order was issued the other day by the president about what that was actually going to allow in terms of reunification. how clear is that now? absolutely. so as you say, this was another self-inflicted wound by the trump administration not thinking through clearly enough a directive before issuing it. so we saw a lot of confusion
We had a whole news cycle about a state department employee finding what joe biden was doing to be an issue. can i say something about the scif? not only is it a national security breach to bring in electronic devices. we know it happened. bill: we were told they left their phones outside. video of them walking through the doors. sandra: they left their fit bit watches on. it was intentional. they ordered pizza down there, chick-fil-a. it was absurd. it s the rules, judge napolitano was on fox & friends this morning say you can thank john boehner for this who passed the rules in 2015 signed by a republican majority. hold on. we had a special counsel report which we don t have. one thing. i just want to say schiff did claim that nothing in these hearings would be classified. therefore, why have it in a scif unless you are just trying
I m going to keep working. and with the love and support of my family and friends and with the help of your prayers also, i plan to beat the low survival rate statistics for this disease. truth told, i have to because under the terms of my contract, i have to host jeopardy for three more years. so help me. we hope he serves every bit of that contract. trebek has been host of jeopardy since 1984. fellow game show host pat sajak one of the many expressing support for trebek. and the wheel of fortune host says there is no one i know who is stronger and more determined. and i would never bet against him. we and the entire country are pulling for you. a college professor quits her job over chick-fil-a.
Keeps doing it over and over again to make it seem normal. there he is. you can see he s never happier than surrounded by big macs. trump runs the white house like a divorced dad who forgot he had the kids this weekend. we ll just pick up chick-fil-a. it s fine. one of the biggest names being thrown around in the next election comes from one of the smallest men. former new york city mayor and grandpa catching you with his deck of erotic playing cards, michael bloomberg. today he announced he will not run for president in 2020, explaining i have come to realize i am less interested in talking than doing, talked he about not doing. now i don t know what bloomberg will do next. i m concerned for him. other new york mayors who left office have ended up in humiliating, dead end jobs. the playing cards thing. you didn t see it coming. i didn t see it coming. that was a left turn.
when we look back from 1991 to 1993, it interesting, i went back and looked at some of the reporting and his confirmation hearing back in 1991 was, quote, unusually placid, closed quote. i suspect this confirmation hearing will be anything but unusual nally go ahead. but, go ahead. let s ask that. let s say he lets this go all the way to the end. how could attorney general barr undercut mueller s investigation, even if he let it is conclude? could he not decide he s going to hold all the findings and not release it, not let it go public? are there other things he can do
