Something isnt to happen. Thats all true about this white house but none of that apparently applies when it comes to trump talking to russia. In that case, notification comes from moscow. The last time trump talked to putin, which well, at least as far as i know, was november 21st. The first notification there was of that in the english language that trump would be speaking to putin that day, first english language notification is when reuters translated a notice from a russian based news agency that reported trump and putin would be speaking that day and it was the first any of us in this country heard of it. Two weeks before that the Big Asia Trip where the people of United States of america learned the president would be meeting on the sidelines of the asian summit with vladamir putin, and we learned that from a kremlin staffer and american reporters took that information and asked and before that the Oval Office Meeting with President Trump and Russian Foreign minister and Russian
Were going to start with the Cuban Missile Crisis. Cuban missile crisis was 1962. It took place over 13 very, very stressful days in october 1962. The United States at that point had long been flying High Altitude surveillance flights over the nation of cuba, but on october 14th, 1962 a u2 surveillance flight picked up imagery in cuba of something that started that whole crisis, started that whole standoff. Its interesting. The Cuban Missile Crisis is very precisely identified in all the history books as having started on october 16th. Two days after that u2 spy plane captured those images in cuba. But the crisis didnt start on october 16th because something happened that day, because there was some overt act by cuba, there was some provocation there or some announcement by them, it didnt start because on october 16th there was some act by the
soviet union or some announcement by the soviets that kicked off this crisis. The reason we can be so specific about when the Cuban Missile Cris
The White House Press corps have had for him all week about this. He also left for bedminster this afternoon, ignoring questions once again. Its just a pattern of this white house refusing to answer for why statements made both from the president and also from his senior aides at the White House Press podium have not turned out to be true, or at least they are now under question based on what we now are hearing from what Michael Cohen might have to say to special counsel mueller. It wouldnt be the first time that Sarah Sanders has had to correct herself after making statements about what the president knew and didnt know, but this time Sarah Sanders hasnt even been available to answer questions about this. The white house has been virtually silent. Yeah. Is there reporting on how the president is feeling about the latest news . Reporter well, the president has been very angry. Thats what were hearing from an Administration Official this week. Hes been watching the coverage on televisio
Case of the white house making statements about what the president did and did not know. Senior Trump Officials have said the president didnt know anything about these payments. That turned out to be completely untrue based on the audiotape of the president himself talking about that payment were Michael Cohen before the election. But, again, here the white house refusing to talk about it. White house aides are now referring questions about this issue to the president s outside lawyers even though some of these issues involve the statements made by people who worked in the white house now or very recently. So, anderson, theyre hoping that we dont continue asking questions about this. There hasnt been a White House Press briefing in several days. There have only been three this month at all. They are clamping down on the opportunities that reporters get to ask both the president and also senior white house officials questions about all of these matters. Abby phillip, thanks very much. N
This sunday, turning against trump. The president s longtime personal attorney, Michael Cohen, is apparently prepared to say the president knew in advance about the Infamous Trump tower meeting with russians. It appears the president s former attorney and confidant is ready to talk. And cohen releases a tape discussing buying the story of a former playmate who says she had an affair with trump. What financing . Well have to pay something. And well pay with cash. No, no, no, no, no. Rudy giuliani attacks cohen. The man is a liar, a proven liar. Not long after praising him. The man is an honest, honorable lawyer. Just how big a threat does cohen pose to President Trump . My guests this morning, former trump political advisor sam nunberg and republican senator rob portman of ohio. Plus guns and poses. Maria butina loves guns, cultivated conservatives and is
now in jail, arrested as a russian agent. Does she hold the key to an nra russia connection . And base politics. Today marks 100 days
