Interviews with political figures and news updates. Theyre speaking from the same playbook. But this is a tough line to walk, andrea. Ken dilanian, you had dan coats, head of national intelligence, questioned about the dissonance there. Lets watch. In the runup to the helsinki summit, u. S. Officials, ambassadors to nato, ambassadors to russia, said that the president would raise the issue of malign activity with the president. Im not in a position to either understand fully or talk about what happened at helsinki. Ken, it does seem that dan coats and the rest of the team have still not been briefed on what happened during that private one on one. And thats remarkable, andrea. Dan coats is the nations top intelligence official. He needs to know these things, he needs to understand where the russians are coming from, and what potential negotiations took place between the president and the russian leader. This News Conference was such a fascinating mixture of cynical
meddling. Thats not
and it seems like he s really trying to incite the crowd against the media. the anger levels are hard to predict. it raises the question, first of all, how safe it is for the media. sarah sanders yesterday under intensive questioning from jim acosta, a frequent target and antagonist back and forth with the president, raising the question about the enemy of the people quote after ivanka trump said she disagreed with that, sarah sanders wouldn t say she disagrees. she said she works for the president. mike murphy, a republican strategist, last night had a modest proposal as to what the media should do going forward. cover it with a pool reporter. i don t think there s any need to put on the show that frankly the president uses for his base supporters. it s good box office for trump. the question is the journalistic
there s new cedar plank seafood bake. tender maine lobster and shrimp, cedar roasted to perfection. or new caribbean lobster and shrimp. sweet pineapple salsa on grilled rock lobster, paired with jumbo coconut shrimp. and wait. there s lobster & shrimp overboard! it s a seafood party on a plate. so hurry in. cause lobster & shrimp summerfest won t last. breaking news, you re looking at live pictures out of tennessee. moments away from seeing president trump. he is about to speak at that rally. it could be the first time the first comments coming from the president about abc canceling roseanne barr s show over offensive tweets. it s a show president trump has praised in the past saying the show was about his supporters and him. but earlier today press secretary sarah sanders wouldn t comment about the comments on twitter.
court for the many reasons we ve talk about so far. he s here hosting the prime minister of japan for a week. they re going to talk about north korea, about trade. one imagines this might have been an intentional scheduling distraction, given that the white house knew that this week was also going to be the expected book tour blitz by james comey. but to jonathan s earlier point about michael cohen, white house officials choose their words very care from i when asked about all of this. you remember on friday, sarah sanders wouldn t even say for sure whether michael cohen even still represents the president given now that we know he is still the subject of a criminal investigation, according to the justice department. this is the thing the president s been seething over. this is the real inflection point causing the president to erupt and the talks ongoing by his team and the special counsel team broke down all over this. it s just one indication of the president s anger and fury over t
describe him as seething. as being furious and indignant over these raids that targeted michael cohen, his longtime lawyer, his longtime friend and fixer. and i think there s one part of the white house response to all of this that is notable. yesterday during that eight-minute rant you pointed out that the president gave us from the cabinet room, he would not rule out getting rid of robert mueller. now, in the past when the president has talked like that, the white house has oftentimes put out a statement pledging full cooperation with the special counsel. in this case, sarah sanders wouldn t do that. she said the president s comments stand on their own. so at the moment we also thought, by the way, that the president would weigh in when reporters were brought into the oval office. the president s hosting the emir of qatar. usually at the end the president might take a question or two. in this instance, he was uncharacteristically disciplined. and not taking any questions. so at the
