You were asked during your confirmation hearing if you had any contact with the russians and you took that to mean in your capacity as a surrogate for the trump campaign. A little over two weeks later, mike flynn was forced to resign because of conversations he had with that very same Russian Ambassador. My question is, from that point february 14th until now, why did no one on your staff come to you and say hey, we had conversations with the Russian Ambassador. Perhaps we should amend our state...

Labor department, health and Human Services and the list goes on and on. Lets bring in our senior White House Correspondent jim acosta. This blueprint is just the start of the budget process.

President and his unsclaims that he was wiretapped. He accused the former u. S. President of ordering the wiretaps at trump tower yesterday. Again, mr.

Discussed in beijing. You said in the case of the president s tweets that this on going investigation, more things will come out when theyve made that. The collusion charges. All the people in the investigation there. Why in one case is that sufficient to say there is no collusion now, versus the others need more information coming out . Because, again, i think theres a difference. Im not ruling anything out. Im merely explaining that every person, republican, democrat, obama, the Obama Administ...

All right, it is quite a morning for ivanka trump, maybe a surprising morning. Moments ago, she sat through jeers and hiss on her first overseas trip since her fathers inauguration, appearing at a womens empowerment conference with german chancellor Angela Merkel. Shes there not only as a blood relative of the president , but as her official capacity as an adviser to him in the white house. That led to some pretty tough questions on who exactly shes loyal to. The german audience is not that fami...

Ill talk to him live this hour. And deep cuts, the president unveils his budget blueprint. It would put more money into the military, but slash spendin...

We can expect Democratic Senators to hone in on mccabe to try to get some information about what is happening. Shifting timelines from the white house, undercutting republican support and their resistance for the calls for a special counsel or prosecutor here. That will, obviously, dominate this hearing. The Intelligence Committee moving on another track. Remember, this is the only show in town. The Ongoing Investigation that they have now. There was a deadline the other day for a voluntary subm...

The process that were going through understanding that theyll have choices that they can select the kind of coverage that they want for themselves and for their family, not the Government Forces them to buy. I believe it would have adverse consequences for millions of americans, and it wouldnt deliver on our promises to reduce the cost of Health Insurance for americans. So i would say to my friends in the house of representatives with whom i serve, do not walk the plank and vote for a bill that ...
