Bush administrations foreign policy during the transition phrase, there would be an outcry of anger from the republican party. its a bit hypocritical to suggest that. no, its not illegal. no, it is very unprecedented. we havent seen this before in american politics. >> i want you to situate if you can over what we have heard in the last week. and other cases of attempting the soft reach through the nra, what does that say about the vulnerability of this campaign and the transition of the apparat...

Outgoing director late on friday. a judge will settle all this in court. want to bring in byron york. why is this such a big deal? >> we have seen a number of challenges to the presidents authority in various contexts in some of the executive orders that he has issued. and this challenge is one-to-one of the presidents core constitutional responsibilities. that is, appointing people to positions in the executive branch. and i think it was pretty clear when ms. english said she was going to be th...

Of this climate we are in now largely because something occurred in 2016 and there is so many lives on the record and slowly but surely the onions are being peeled and you are finding the fact that the mueller investigation is starting to reach through. >> do you think the mueller investigation is going to have impact on congressional investigation? ? y . >> yes, they play off each other. they can follow up on those leads. i thing you have to look at crystal clear, there are a lot of contexts wi...

Confidence? >> yes. >> reporter: what makes you say that? >> because authorities that i have been given and policies that we received, it is everything that i asked for. >> reporter: ali, the new troops have arrived in afghanistan and another 3,000 up to 14,000. it is a little misleading though because the kind of troops that they need to really affect the policies that president trump has now signed off on are training trotrai training troops at the local level. that group wont arrive until tim...

Estate tax while doubling the exemption for jewels. the hospital eventually gets rid of that together. theyre finding common ground on the corporate tax rate /enough to 20 percent. but this there was a delay that confined one year. as the state and local tax deductions that chairman brady mentioned, they would be completely scrapped under the senate bill, the hospital modifies them for $10,000. despite the differences, chairman brady says a final deal before the house and the senate is within re...
