None of that is true as you can tell by the eyewitness events. none of that is true. that you have a situation where its, you know, not just myself, but its an audio recording, its the three fox news employees who were there, the buzzfeed employee reporting standing outside the door, versus the statement that the campaign put out, which is, you know, they got my name right and they got my employer right. other than that, i think there was -- it was not factually accurate. >> said it was an aggre...

Bun punching the man as he moved on top the reporter and began yelling something to the effect of i am sick and tired of this. jacob scrambled to his knees and said something about his glasses being broken. he asked faith, keith, and myself for our names in shock, we did not answer. he said he wanted the police called and went to leave. gianforte looked to the three of us and repeatedly apologized and that point i told him and scanlan who was now present that we needed a moment and then the men ...

Director and the director of the national security agency to give them a heads-up on what trump had just told the russians? >> so, the report that the president shared this highly secret information with the russians in the oval office, that report has been matched, confirmed by "the new york times," the "wall street journal," reuters, and buzzfeed. but in the hours after the "post" report, the white house response was mostly confused. before mcmaster even spoke, the administration issued severa...
