Cutting it by nearly half is not good enough for the president. Obstruction in any form is Something Team trump has been very clear is a nonstarter.

The white house wants to show the Administration Takes Election Interference very seriously despite doubt the president continues to cast. Update our viewers. Reporter thats right. The white house tried to show The World Today that its serious about stopping russian interference in u. S. Elections. But the Top Administration officials on display today insisting they are on the case had to grapple with one very key question, whether the president himself takes the threat to american democracy seriously. The president has made it clear reporter it was a show of force as the white house and Top Administration officials from the director of National Intelligence to the National Security advisor to the fbi director to assure the American People they are determined to combat russian interference in the u.

Analysis of Media Coverage of news stories. Ive said that to Sarah Huckabee sanders. Ill continue saying that. The war started when steve bannon at cpac said the press was an Opposition Party and the enemy. Its wrong. I support the president. You dont have to be on side on every single issue.
