>> well, anderson, the white house has started to prepare for the likelihood that this mueller investigation is going to wrap up pretty soon. theyve brought in some help from -- on the communications side. moving some of the staffers who have been working on this behind the scenes to help coordinate the press conversation about the report when it does come out. but as always, with this white house, the true communications director is the president himself, and he has often taken the lead in resp...

You shouldnt get all positive press. you should be judges fairly. but if you go back and look at the presidents we remember teddy roosevelt and john kennedy and ron reagan, all of them had very, very positive relationships with the press. and they were respectful and that is possible to do. look, i work for reagan on the communications side. people say hes never going to get a fair break from the press because the press is too liberal. he is too conservative. theyre always going to beat him up. ...
