brian, you are getting a new response from time warner, our parent company. what can you tell us? this is the strongest long about the political questions that jeffrey tubeoobin was rais. this is a statement. he said, the court s resdeound rejection of the government s arguments is a confirmation. this was all about president trump and his disdain for cnn and his desire to kill this deal. the white house and the doj have always denied that. president trump said he did not get involved. those questions are going to linger even after at&t takes control of time warner, which is likely to happen by this time next week as long as there s not a stay in the case. there are political questions and there rlt busineare busines
the korean war, including the immediate repatriation of those already identified. i assume that s something you welcome, the families i m sure will welcome that as well. that is a wonderful thing for each and every one of families. they deserve the final knowledge of what happened to their loved ones. that is absolutely a wonderful result. but the central purpose of this negotiation is the nuclear weapons program, the ballistic missile program of north korea. right now, it is shrouded in ambiguity, what the responsibilities of kim and north korea will be, because that s the existential threat to south korea, to japan, to guam and potentially to the united states. that issue has not been resolved. let s see where these negotiations head. thanks so much, senator, for joining us. you are welcome. much more on the trump/kim
downplay the issue of denuclearization. the headline this morning is peace. a warming of relations between kim jong-un and president trump. obviously, there are no specifics about a time line, about verification.ose are the t in the actual statement put out, which north korea did public in its entirety. that was the only time you get a significant description about denuclearization. ead the north koreans are ating one aspect of the discussions which is president trump s pledge to end the joint military exercises between the u.s. and south korea. north korea reporting that president trump accepted kim jong-un s invitation to pyongyang just as kim jong-un accepted president trump s invitation in principal to visit the white house at an appropriate time. obviously, from the north korean point of view, denuclearization kind of a side note to the bigger issue for the north koreans which is a warming of relations and what they hope will be the improvement of their economic conditions inside
trust that the government will have the good judgment, wisdom and courage to avoid such a manifest injustice to do othe i fear would undermine the faith in our system of justice of not only the defendants but their millions of shareholders and the business community at large. that s a very unusual way to close an opinion. not just to say to the justice department, hey, you lost. he is saying, you lost and give it up. because you are essentially embarrassing yourselves and degrading the traditions of the department of justice if you proceed here. if trump s fingerprints were on this, if there s proof of that, today is a day where whe s checks and balances worked. that s worth pointing out as well. you anticipate that there will we have a statement from the justi department. the president so far is silent. right? yeah. next time he tweets about attorney general jeff sessions, he complains about the justice
