questions about jackson. a jackson denistill denies the allegations. you never wrecked a car or did anything with open oids? i have no idea where that s coming from. should be for easy. i have not wrecked a car. . will you move forward? did you tell the president that, sir? and tonight, the white house seems to be b standing by the president s pick. dr. jackson s record as a white house physician has been impeccable. he has an incredibly strong background. he s a highly eququalified, hig skilled individual and if you didn t think he was capable of doing the job, he wouldn t have
up. the lies to the american people. the fact that michael cohen, his fixer for ten years, knows where effectively many, many bodies are burr wiiry. so it s not about stormy. i think stormy s a part of it, but i don t think all of it. i think there s going to be a mountain of evidence that comes from the fbi raids, the prior electronic surveillance, which i am highly confident was occurred of michael cohen and the days leading up to the fbi raids. i think there s going to be a mountain of evidence that is is going to support charges against michael cohen. he s going to wall on the president and there s going to be a r very, very dark days, there are going b to be very, very dark days ahead for the president. and just trying to understand the bottom line. if the american people don t care who he slept it or lied about it to his wife or to them, what then would the issue be? the issue is the cover up and the american people should care when their president lies to

nomination. jackson has denied the most recent allegations that have been put forward. by senator test er in this document citing anonymous sources. i think it s important to be clear. there are enormous sources on the one hand while there are individuals on the record including president obama in the past defending dr. jackson, defending his character, his integrity, his conduct as the white house chief physician. so you know, these are accusations. we are looking into them. but dr. jackson has been investigated four separate types in terms of background ga investigations, including a most recent fbi investigation which senator tester said it came back clean. so so as a r very basic question. when you started this process and the president said i want ronny jackson. did you do any vetting at all beyond saying he passed background checks from the fbi?
are preparing for this to be withdrawn. quite a cast of characters in the green room tonight. does it need to be withdrawn? his nomination? that s up to the president. to admiral jackson and the president and he s being defensive there and doing a good job for the white house. he s got to say that to lay ut the right eck peckati expectati. a white house official told us john kelly had reservations about jackson in the first place. and that once it became clear there were issues, some people have very serious questions about his call it experience or able ility to lead an organizat of 400,000 people. no matter how good he was and kelly did not protect him once these other issues started coming up. senior aide ted kelly told trump yesterday don t give a full throttle defense of jackson. back off. do you think kelly hung jacquks
