Jr. or don jr. to hope hicks? i didnt read about any law degrees between the three of them. >> in terms of your main question, what did we learn? it depends on who you ask. republicans are saying he was fully cooperative. democrats on the other hand are saying he had a big case of amnesia and didnt remember key details about that trump tower meeting and other really important matters. and theyre very unsatisfied. the thing you eluded to is when you asked about the conversations with the presiden...
