Incredibly sobering piece, anybody could be subject to retribution. Dont forget, you can watch outfront, any time any where, just go to cnn go. Acc 360 with Anderson Cooper begins right now. Good evening, thank you for joining us, a busy day at the white house, the president announcing his tax plan but what will it mean for you and who will pay for it . And about the president s unusual statement that hes looking at options to break up the Appeals Court where judges have blocked some of his kb executive action. But we begin with a meeting at the white house that was so unusual that not even President Trump all but summoned them there for a briefing on the increasing tensions with north korea. Some said on leaving that they thought it was just a photo op
for the white house. Just today north korea conducted an artillery drill, designed to annihilate the u. S. Imperialists bases of aggression, their termology. What more are you learning about this briefing at the white house . Well, ande
