more republican voices over the next coming days questioning whether this is exactly the right way for republicans to go. all right. dave and julie grace, please stay with me for a moment. i want to bring in nbc s mike viqueira at the white house with new developments surrounding the u.n. ambassador position. what can you tell us this morning? reporter: good morning to you. and this is a good old-fashioned nanny problem that heather nauert, the state department spokeswoman for the last couple of years for the trump administration, she was going to be nominated. she hadn t been formally nominated to be ambassador to the united states for the united nations. we learned yesterday a statement from the state department that she is now withdrawing her nomination and reporting from the washington post early this morning would indicate that it centers around the nanny that she employed to take care of her children. her family in new york. right now she had hoped to join them as u.n. amba
taken with a massive grain of salt. the steps by rudy giuliani are not helping his client accepting the political base eating this up everyday. trump continues the attack on sessions if we had a real attorney general, this witch hunt never would have been started. the fact that he has not fired jeff sessions. so listen to rudy giuliani, he talks about sessions, listen. so clinton went to two people, he got two of them. and donald trump put sessions in there who was supposedly his best friend. it would be better jeff sessions. pete sessions is congressman in texas. remember the first two clinton people had new eastern span a nanny problem. i don t know what the hell
