Only last night did the public learn that in fact it was far worse or at least somewhat worse on september 19th. Only recently has it been revealed and you said you wanted to correct the record.

Protecting the first family in the white house. He has full confidence in the professionals to do their job. April. Josh, i want to ask you a question.
