your government and the united states government seems to be miles apart on the syria issue, ukraine and other issues. did you feel that you ve cleared up any of those issues you mentioned earlier today since you ve had those discussions with secretary tillerson? we did discuss at length the future role for assad, whether it be in a future political process or not. clearly our view is that the reign of the assad family is coming to an end. and they have, again, brought this on themselves with their conduct and war these past few years. we discussed our view that russia, as their closest ally in the conflict, perhaps has the best means of helping assad recognize this reality. we do think it s important that assad s departure is done in an orderly way, an orderly way, so

we will not talk about numbers of troops. that is new for the american presidency. at no point tonight did the president clarify anything about what would actually change militarily for the united states in afghanistan. if this speech is meant to be interpreted as an increase in troop strength in afghanistan, it s the first time a president has announced an increase in troop strength without actually announcing an increase in troop strength. as commander in chief, i have determined that it is in our vital national interest to send an additional 30,000 u.s. troops to afghanistan. after 18 months, our troops will begin to come home. these are the resources that we need to seize the initiative while building the afghan capacity that can allow for a responsible transition of our forces out of afghanistan. and here is how president george w. bush described the military surge that he ordered in iraq. so uch committed more than 20,000 additional american troops to iraq. the vast ma

opinion, it s ridiculous the corruption and dishonesty with the witch hunt, the president has watched this process play out but he also wants to see it come to an end as he stated many times. we look forward to that happening. dana: i understand why she would want to answer it that way, last week we found out that mueller s team is looking at the president s tweets to see if there was a pattern of obstruction. this is just his opinion, just fighting back, it s not obstruction. amazing when you have the white house under siege like this one, much as with the nixon white house or the clinton white house, the way in which the team there comes to reflect the attitude, the language, the perspective of the boss. and you can hear it there, and the loaded words and the hard language. this is a white house under siege and this is an administration that is ready to fight, fight, fight. the problem for trump is the same as it is with, you know, a
Wolf Blitzer looks at politics, breaking news and international stories.
january of this year, the president s lawyers tell the special counsel robert mueller in a letter that mr. trump dictated the statement himself. fast forward to late last month, cnn reporting that michael cohen is willing to tell the special counsel that the president did know about the 2016 trump tower meeting in advance despite numerous denials from president trump and his team. and that brings us up to speed. the president now admitting the meeting was designed to get information on an opponent, but once again claiming he did not know about it. now jay sekulow admits he was wrong when he denied the president was involved in that first misleading statement. listen. i had bad information at that point. i made a mistake in my statement. i talked about that before. that happens when you have cases like this. i think it s very important to point out that in a situation like this, you have, over time, facts deve
