incredibly careful in sort of steering clear of commenting on the details given that the doj is currently looking into the matter, so we ll have to see whether the president is a little bit more willing to dive into the details and share anything more that we don t know but again, you know, earlier today just sort of exemplifying this, the white house counsel spokesperson said they re just s simply limited in what they can say because the doj is looking into the matter but they want to handle things correctly and they may be able to share further details at a later time. we ll see what question the president gets and also, just more broadly speaking of course, how he addresses the various issues that he has been discd discussing over the last 48 hours with the leaders of canada and mexico as we ve been talking about for the last couple days. migration and immigration is going to be a top issue that the three leaders have been talking about at this meeting, jake. m.j. lee st
the white house is insisting that the president is cooperating with the doj probe and unclear whether they will do with congressional investigators also taking a look at security breach. lucas tomlinson joins us again from the north lawn of the white house. what are you learning this hour. some republicans are accusing the white house of a cover-up and sitting on classified material ahead of midterm elections and with your interview crawford, here is what he s accusing the president of. not bringing the information forward potentially affects the outcome of the election. we have seen this happen time and time again on different issues. this is one that certainly was rose to the level of being reported and so i think they deliberately quashed that to make sure that it wasn t out in the public s sphere before election day. lucas: two days ago our colleague peter doocy asked what he was thinking keeping classified documents next to stingray and the president fired back that
you have been back and forth with karine jean-pierre. they will have to answer why they knew about documents thursday night but said nothing about it during press conference yesterday to your point as they claim they are cooperating and they are being transparent. i believe it was you who asked the other day what is the white house hiding. what do you think is happening in the pr room right now? well, i think that there s probably a lot of four letter words that would not be suitable for broadcast in the press room right now. but the people in the press shop and karine jean-pierre was kind of alluding to this yesterday, they are being put in a tough spot by the president s personal attorneys and by the special counsel s office because karine jean-pierre said that she was not involved in the decision to wait and wait and wait to
