Surprise moved into a pr conversation about how the trump team would position this and what they could say about this that no one to my recollection asked. So whats coming next from the russians, how might we stop it, whats the future look like. Good morning and welcome to a. M. Joy. In a move that has donald trump rage tweeting all morning, former fbi director james comey is spilling all the tea with a new book and media blitz starting tonight. Telling his version of events surrounding the 2016 election in the early days of the Trump Administration. While it may be seen as an attempt to clear his name, comey is after all the man the clinton camp blames for their loss. He pulls no punches when it comes to donald trump.

Including wrecking that car. He said he was still moving ahead as planned with his nomination. Earlier in the day, White House Press secretary Sarah Sanders defended the vetting process. Dr. Jacksons record as a white house physician has been impeccable. Dr. Jackson has had at least four independent background investigations conducted during his time at the white house including an fbi investigation conducted as part of the standard nomination vetting process. Is the white house going to look into the allegations that have been made against him about drinking on the job. Certainly something we would look at, absolutely. The democratic report quotes colleagues can calling jackson flat out unethical. Toxic. Abusive. And volatile. Senator jon tester of montana, ranking democrat on the committee discussed his findings on msnbc earlier today. Starting about a week ago, chuck, weve got claims, accusations that were made. And were following up talking to some 23 different people. Theres more
