Request from the former Trump Campaign chairmans defense lawyers to delay his criminal trial which was supposed to start later this week. Manafort will be the first person to go to trial under Robert Muellers investigation. The president was focused all morning, and, surprise, it is surrounding the russia probe. Trumps false claim that his campaign was vindicated by the release of a highly secretive government document he declassified. This weekend breaking decades of secretive protocol, the doj released a previously classified warrant that was used to request government surveillance of former Trump Campaign aide carter page. Page at the time was under suspicion of acting as an agent for the russian government. The president has been tweeting about it all morning. We are going to spare you the dramatic reading of those tweets. Suffice it to say trump is incorrectly using the released information to confuse the public and to try to claim the investigation into his campaign is a witch hu
Including several career officers. He said, let me be clear.

Youre looking at video that was released of those missiles on launch. A key point. Early reports suggested that these missiles may have been launched locally, by iranian proxies. That would have been a less extreme step. But no, that is not the case. Defense Department Officials say it is clear they were launched from iran. In retaliation to the air strike that killed a top iranian general last week. That means at a minimum, those missiles traveled about 800 miles from here in erbil to the closest border in iran, if thats where they came from, and at the second base, a little bit more about 900 miles. Now, distance was greater, obviously, than what would happen if you shot them locally, but these were more sophisticated missiles. That means that they had better targeting systems. That means they could be more precise. And that leads us to an interesting question in a moment. But here is more information about what we know. Two missiles hit in erbil. One in the airport, the Internationa
