It was a chicago police who put out the statement that suggested that dr. dao fell. that he tripped and happened to get hurt. they were complicit in covering up. i think thats why people distrust police in so many ways. they put out four apologies. first one, the ceo said that dr. dao had to reaccommodate him. its like you dragged him out. the second one they suggested he was belligerent and disruptive. it wasnt until the third statement they acknowledged they needed to change their practices. t...

View of the export/import bank. these are things he campaigned on strongly saying he would get rid of them. he came in with this economic policy that was different than the gop orthodox. but a as someone who covered the campaign, this is not surprising to me. in 510 days, i documented 141 policy changes, major policy changes during that campaign. as president were seeing his positions continue to shift. and i think we may see them shift as the news shift. as the days shift, were going to see new...

Attack in his news conference. he was standing alongside jordans king abdullah. the president said what happened the other day makes him think differently against basser al-assad. he didnt say what the policy changes would do or what the administration would do going forward. its the flexibility that he talks about. the president was critical of barack obama and the red line comment that then president obama made in 2012. president trump was asked today if what happened the other day in syria cr...

We dont really know. when he came into office he made it very clear that his focus was on defeating isis and the removal of bashar al assad was not a priority. i think his view of bashar al assad is changing. we may see going back to the old policy of defeating isis at the same time. >> i want to get to that in a moment. when president trump drew a red line of chemical attacks in syria, he called it dumb. he tweeted. the only reason he wants to attack syria is over his red line statement. do not...
