York times. The other is from a Public University of washington model often cited by the white house. First, the government projections show the daily death toll there nearly double, from about 1,750 deaths currently to about 3,000 a day on june 1st. This is pretty dramatically different than where people were thinking. New cases are projected to go from about 25,000 a day to 200,000. The president was asked about the report in an interview with the New York Post. He said, quote, i know nothing about it. I dont know anything about it. Nobody told me that. I think its false. I think its fake news. The white house put out the following statement. This is not a white house document nor has it been presented to the Coronavirus Task force or gone through interagency vetting. This data is not reflective of any modeling, any of the modeling done by the task force or data that the task force has analyzed. The other set of data from the institute for health, metrics, and evaluation at the unive

List of 17 known investigations that targeted either the president or those in trumps orbit. Everything from the Trump Campaign to the trump organization, even the trump foundation. The president s charity has come under scrutiny, and its not just the special counsel or the sdny. Attorney generals in new york city and new york state have launched their own investigations, and there are also inquiries led by the Eastern District of virginia and the district of columbia. And while separate and unrelated to the Mueller Investigation, at least as of now, this probe into the inaugural committee could be just as damaging. Ive always thought the Southern District of new york investigation was much more concerning than the Mueller Investigation for a simple reason. They have tour guides and no restrictions. So the tour guides are Michael Cohen, who was a longtime lawyer for the president , and rick gates, who is particularly important to the subpoena that was issued yesterday. Rick gates was t
Down the border next week, as Homeland Security Officials Say conditions are dire, and resources are strained. Cnn correspondent leyla santiago is in el paso. It was a pretty good turnout there in his hometown. And his message was that of inclusion. Reporter right, he actually said that hes not going to use what he says President Trump uses, which is the effort to divide the country, with rhetoric that he does not believe in. He talked a lot about the need to not let differences define us. But to your point, he really did focus a bit on immigration, as one of his top issues and thats again where we are right now, just half a mile from the southern border. U. S. And mexico, where they meet, talking about what has really become a big headline over the last few days, a lot of families who are now being housed under an international bridge, saying they are humans, too, and we must treat them as human beings. So immigration certainly a big part of his speech, talking about his hometown, whe
Taking aim at him. Kevin corke is at the white house with more. Great to be with you, my friend. We dont expect the president to ask the Commerce Department to come up with a specific Citizenship Question for the census. We expect some other mechanism by which they will get at that answer. Obviously this is a very important issue for this white house. They want to know how many citizens are here legally and perhaps how many are here not legally. The democrats on capitol hill are fighting mad about this. They say theyre concerned that such a question could lead to and undercount of people that they represent, many n noncitizens. The true rationale is political and selfserving. The president wants the Citizenship Question to intimidate minorities particularly latinos so it undercounts those communities and republicans can redraw congressional districts to their advantage. Republicans reject that notion. Reminding us that asking a Citizenship Question on the census has never been an issue
