New york republican Chris Collins was just indicted for Insider Trading and today, in a story we dont have time for tonight, the Second Congress to endorse him, California Republican Duncan Hunter was also indicted for Campaign Finance violations. Noticeably did not mention Michael Cohen by name. I feel badly for both. I must tell you that Paul Manafort is a good man. He was with ronald reagan. He was with a lot of different people over the years and i feel very sad about that. It doesnt involve me, but i still feel, you know, it is a very sad thing that happened. Nothing to do with russian collusion. Had nothing to do with russian collusion. We continue the witch hunt. Thank you very much. Mr. President , what about
