father s administration. jeff zeleny is outfront in new york. we learned ivanka trump, jared kushner are going to move to washington. now, that s a pretty stunning thing, right, if you think about the fact ivanka trump said she will have no role in her father s administration. this is a clear signal she s going to be right by her father s side. maybe she doesn t have a technical title. she s staying in her job at the trump organization. what can you tell us? reporter: something they have to work out and sort through. they ve already had missteps here in the first month of this transition meeting with the world leader, the first meeting that her father had with the prime minister of japan, and, but erin, it s clear that they are still trying to sort through this. the american presidency is not simply set up for a family like this so they re going to be making the rules as they go along, but we are told they are planning to move to washington. they re looking for houses there at th
Families, they can put money away for college, things like that. it has a big impact with a lot of people. for the president, his son served in iraq and the president s always believed the burn pits in iraq led to his son s brain cancer. for him there s a policy aspect, personal feeling he s making progress on behalf of his son as well. and, chris, lastly, real quick, the president and his team obviously going to maintain their vow of silence about all of the legal issues surrounding donald trump. give us a sense, they have to be pleased with the contrast after trump is making headline after headline and the president doing the people s business. biden basically, he s keeping his head down to keep working on the issues that matter to people. getting attention is going to be hard. the country is riveted.
Historic. and paula, we have both covered trump, and your job as a white house reporter is to observe the president s mannerisms and every move beyond the policy aspect, and to hear evan report that he had the hands folded and periodically speaking to todd blanche, and he is taking lead, and what stuck out to you? i say that i m a lawyer turned journalist, and president trump is the greatest beat, because he is always raising constitutional issues, but they have never caught up to him, and the second time, of course, the case in manhattan, but the first time criminal charges have been filed against a former president, and that it is trump is not terribly surprising, because he has been twice impeached and history over decades, right, of being sued, of having these investigations,
As you know, kaitlan, as well, if we do not deal with debt limit in the way that congress has dealt with it 78 times since 1960, it could trigger a recession, we could lose millions of jobs. here is what is important to remember. while they are sounding head coachful they are very far apart when it comes to the policy aspect of this. she said that the president will continue talks while he is in japan. he is going to be meeting with the same congressional leaders once he returns from his trip. ken buck was asked yesterday about a possible u.s. default if congress fails to reach a debt ceiling agreement. listen to his answer. i don t know what a default looks like because we have never been there before. does it happen slowly over time and within day two or three america we pass a debt ceiling? i don t think that it is the end of the world to default. that doesn t mean i am encouraging a default in any way, shape or form. here with us chief business
To prove president biden s direct involvement here and you spoke a little bit i know congressman donald spoke about the policy aspect. if you could speak more to the policy aspect of it. how can you discount hunter biden just used his father s name to get this money without any direct involvement from president biden himself? can you speak a little bit to your it is hard for me to believe that hunter biden was so charismatic that he could convince foreign nationals to wire millions of dollars and not just his account but eight of his family member s accounts. we believe there was a return on the investment for the investment that these countries were wiring money to the various biden family members. as representative donald said, why would you create all these companies? i don t think a lot of people understand the complexity of these businesses. if you are doing something legitimate and providing something of value, why not just
