Less than forth right with the president. i admire trump for actually addressing that instead of letting it drag on because, look, obama didnt get rid of the attorney general eric holder when he lied about authorizing the spying on a reporter, james rosen. i think this is good for the trump administration to show that he will address these things right off the bat. >> the thakt that the washington post has aess to classified information is something that we probably should investigate. >> on the...
