Years. does the president find that troubling? does he plan to say anything? >> did john give you this question? >> im sorry. >> i dont have any updates on that particular case. i would ask you to check with the state department. >> i just want to affirm a point. this is a yes or no question. is the president confirming meetings taking place in the oval office? >> i think i indicated that the president has no further comment on this. >> you gave me a blanket answer saying at the time it was all ...

You think thats actually the reason? >> im not able to read the minds of attorney general jeff sessions or president donald trump or the others that may have been involved in this decision-making process. im in a position where i accept at face value that was written in the explanation was to why comey needed to be fired. if theres more evidence that surfaces that suggests that there was a different reason, then we need to examine that at the time that we get that information. but right now all ...

Then on may 8th, thats monday of this week, where he met here at the white house with the attorney general jeff sessions and his deputy attorney general the man rod rosenstein who oversees the fbi to discuss comeys dismissal and that conversation the president said he wanted to talk about the fact that he had concerns that comey should be fired. in that conversation, rosenstein said he had reached the same conclusion and said he would basically put his thoughts on paper, that it was the next day...

Somebody said if donald trump had worked in a publicly traded company his decision-making process would have been different. he could be destroying everything and nobody there to do anything but pick up after his mess. >> this is going to unravel. >> it is going to unravel. i feel badly for people like sarah sanders who are charged with an impossible pass k. >> yes. >> she was just on our show -- >> yeah, in the last ur.

Comey to be fired. if hillary clinton had won the election, which thank god she didnt, but if she had and she had been in the same position, she would have fired comey immediately. the very democrats that are criticizing the president today would be dancing in the streets celebrating. so its skwrufrbgt i theurbg a purist form of hypocrisy. >> theres a report in israel that indicates the president has made a decision not to move the u.s. embassy from tel aviv. can you confirm that? >> the preside...
