afternoon that the former fbi director has declined an invitation to appear in a closed session of the senate intelligence committee on tuesday. no reason given as to why he is not going to appear. back to you. thank you so much, john. president trump has salt down for an interview with justice judge jeanine set to air tomorrow night. judge did ask the president about the reports he questioned james comey s loyalty shortly after inauguration. loyalty to the country, loyalty to the united states is important. you know, i mean, it depends on how you define loyalty. number one, number two. i don t know how that got there. because i didn t ask that question. what about the idea in a tweet you said there might be tape recordings. i won t talk about that. all i want is for comey to be honest and i hope he will be. i m sure he will be, i hope. eboni: eric, so much here. was it a threat? was it a statement of fact? what s your take?
just need to understand the way he thinks. and the way he operates and adjust. then he needs to adjust to the fact he will have a miserable presidency in which he was constantly beset by the scandal of this russia business. if cannot come port himself to the idea that one or both of these investigations has to reach their full conclusion before it s over he will have a miserable presidency. otherwise this stuff will dog him until the last day. you know how long investigations take. chuck grassley put this out yesterday on screen now. on tuesday the president s letter said that director comey told him he was not under investigation. do you have it? there we go. senator feinstein and i heard nothing that contradicted the president s statement. now mr. comey is no longer the f.b.i. director but they should still follow my advice and confirm to the public whether it is or is not investigating the president because it has failed to make this clear, speculation has run rampant.
