These are unanswerables, but as it stands now, the other question is, who did the president come into contact with . Who did hope hicks come into contact with . And who did those contacts come into contact with . These are things we simply do not know and were expecting more information from the white house. A ton of questions about, for example, why the White House Press secretary held a News Conference yesterday not wearing a mask. And did she know, in fact, that hope hicks had tested positive . And a slew of other questions. But for now, the white house remains open, walk through with no problem, no clear indication that anything much has changed. We do know this is a serious situation and were waiting to hear more from the administration. Back to you. Joe, please keep us posted. Please keepposted, what you show happening behind you. Curious to see if people do show up behind you. Several people fwh, including t president and hope hicks have tested positive, im not sure its going to
Maybe youve got the same thing, tweets and comments, that because of the president crying wolf so many times and the distruths, they dont necessarily believe that this is true. They think this may be some sort of a ploy. I do believe its true and we have a chance here of learning many lessons that could save tens of thousands of lives. We always appreciate your insight. Thank you, sir. This is cnn breaking news. It is the top of the hour. President trump has now come face to face with the threat of coronavirus, announcing he and his wife have both tested positive. That news is coming less than a month before the election and just hours after one of his close closest aids, hope hicks, also tested positive for coronavirus.

Top democrat on the judicial committee, jerry nadler, in moments. Hello. Im jake tapper in washington where the state of our union is honoring our veterans, while we here in the u. S. Express our appreciation to those who serve our nation. President trump is in paris, gathering with other World Leaders to mark 100 years since the end of world war i, but the president s trip abroad has not been without controversy. This morning, french president Emmanuel Macron saying in front of the international gathering, nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism.

That in that order as we look at how the president is answering that question as to whether hes going to have a sitdown, no that is different than what he had said before. That he was open to it and whether thats even relevant is it . Whether the president says hes going to sit down with mueller or answer questions is smoke filled coffee house nonsense for the president , because ultimately, the only opinion that matters is mueller.

We have a statement from them in which they said efforts to indaytii intimidate witnesses are textbook mob tactics that we condemn, but were saying never the less when we started discussions with mr. Cohens attorney, not appearing before congress was not an option. So democrats intend on having him testify in
