inaudible question ]. we are working in close coordination with the united kingdom. so the united states hasn t done its own investigation. we have a position. i ve clearly stated that we re working in conjunction with the united kingdom on this. and a cabinet member, we ve heard by now that hud secretary carson and his wife picked out a $31,000 dining room set for his office and they only canceled the order when it came out in the press. is this an appropriate use of taxpayer dollars and has the president spoken with secretary carson about it. this is something we re looking into. i don t have any updates on that front at this point. sarah. so the new york times reported today that the white house has created a working group on north korea. to prepare for the upcoming summit between president trump and kim jong-un. can you tell us what agencies are involved in the working group and who is chairing it and how often they are meeting and any information you could give us. w
something that they re building and it is not built correctly and why would you continue building something when there is traffic moving under you. that is not correct they did a horrible job because of their their stupidity and there are lost lives right now because they did not close down the street like they did five days ago when they start to build the bridge and they should have locked the street down so that incident wouldn t have happened. and maybe the bridge would have fell and there would be nobody and since they did do that, there are lives lost and families broken. they did a horrible job and thank god that wasn t under us. but it was a horrible experience and i can t it is traumatizing. let s go to mia rodriguez on the scene. what do you know? reporter: you heard that concern right there in that sound bite. why wasn t traffic stopped when they were working on this pedestrian bridge. this is the pedestrian bridge, you could see it right behind me. it is sort of f

satisfaction out of a question to sarah huckabee-sanders. what were you trying to get at with her. we ll play that exchange in a minute. but now robert mueller is subpoenaing the information as it relates to russia and other topics from the trump organize, the first time we know they ve been going to the heart and the headquarters of donald trump s own businesses, the trump organization itself, the white house was trying to puff out his chest and say, look at all that we are doing in terms of sanctions against russia. first for the meddling in the election, something that congress had mandated months ago. now today announcing sanctions against 19 individuals and five entities and more broadly the dhs, department of homeland security and fbi today announced the fact that they now know russia has been troying to infiltrate systems, trying to meddle in the united states outside of the election. but in the course of the last year, including into the united states energy system. as it exi
