Weve got a team of reporters covering this story from south korea to the president s winter white house in florida. Lets begin there, where cnns Jessica Snyder is live in nearby west palm beach. Jessica, what more are we learning about the Vice President s trip and what the white house hopes to achieve with this . Well, you know, martin, this 11day trip by Vice President mike pence, it does come at the that critical time with tensions escalating over north korea. We do know that Vice President pences en route to seoul, south korea, where he will arrive tomorrow around 3 55 in the afternoon. He has a long list of things he will be doing, among meeting with world leaders, while he is on this 11day journey. Tomorrow the itinerary in seoul, south korea, includes visit Seoul National cemetery and attending Easter Church service with u. S. And Korean Service members, also Vice President pence will attend a fellowship meal with military families where he will be making remarks. Of course Vice
President was firing him. What we dont know is what exactly has changed in these intervening months because as bharara say, he was told in november at truch tower, that he could stay and the president told him to go up to the cameras and tell him that was the case. But now, we know something has changed and he has been fired. Now, a career prosecutor in the Southern District Attorneys Office will take his place. June kim. Will be the one who will and in his jus now, but we are not hearing much from the white house about how all of this transpired. Sean spicer today referreded us to the Justice Department and they didnt have to say other than he is no longer u. S. Attorney. Thank you. Preet bharara was one of just 46 u. S. Attorneys asked to step down, but his rule specifically as the u. S. U attorney in manhattan is one, if not the most high profile law jobs in the u. S. Want to talk about that with sarah gannon, shes been following this story all day for us. When you look at all the a
Of rifle heritage. Cnn political analyst, april ryan and political commentator mike shields. Good to have all of you on this evening. Heres a president talking about health care today. Health care is working along very well. We could have a big surprise with a Great Health Care package. So now theyre happy. A great, great surprise. Bob, whats he talking about . I dont know, don. He is a master marketer and obviously this bill is not popular. It didnt get the votes this week. Remember, trump had some momentum this week. He, in george 6 district, republicans won. He got a big win at the supreme court. So if it was going to pass, maybe it was going to pass this week. However, the votes are just not there. I dont know how they get there because i think Susan Collins is a firm no. I think rand paul is a firm no and then you got to get dean heller who is up for reelection. I think maybe if they had one more republican senator, they could get this done. Its awfully hard right now. But you kno
Great friends this week, good people. Americas very blessed with a lot of great diplomats and i have to say this as she just walks over here. I dont think the United States could possibly have a better emissary than our magnificent and our wonderful person, our first lady, melania. Thank you. [ applause ] the country of the world have a large number of disgreagreeme but they all agree with me on that one. That i can tell you. We have been gone for a long time. Everywhere i go we have been gone close to nine days. This will benign days. I think we hit a home run no matter where we are. We are thrilled to be here right now and we are getting on that big plane and heading back to washington, the United States. To be with you at our great Naval Air Station is wonderful. I can think of no better way to conclude our first foreign trip than to spend the time with you right here with the incredible men and women of the United States navy and with all of our brave soldiers, airmen and marines a
Go on, bakari. They lied already. And ana has a good point. My question to scott is, lets play the what if game. An what if this was barack obama or Hillary Clinton . You would be hollering from high heaven how this was treason and ready to start impeachment hearings. Because they have an r beside his name which is a problem in the country today, youre willing to give them excuses. George bush said it best, this is soft bigotry of low expectations. Strip the gop from it and lets make it an average, ordinary american, period. And what donald trump is doing, what donald trump jr. Is doing, what ivanka is doing, what the family is doing, Paul Manafort, michael flynn, the list goes on and on and on. Its unethical at best, treasonous at worst and they sold the United States down stream. Whether or not they knew it, ask the question that we asked nixon, when did the president know it. Thats the question. Kevin madden, im going let you respond to that. Last word. No, i think bakari has some p
