Well thats a question that everybodys asking be close most recently says no he wasnt personally brief however there is reports indicate that this matter was included in the daily president ial briefing now whether or not he did that particular paper or whether they didnt so thats one of the issues that congress is wanting to find out that they white house now says that the president has been briefed in recent days but continues to insist that it wasnt personally briefed before that although as you point out numerous reports indicate confirmation that this matter whats included in this briefing papers as far back as march last year according to the Associated Press so its a massive ongoing dispute that is still very clear and its one of the questions that congress are intent on asking. Didnt the president read his reading papers if not why not do you think nancy pelosi will get the sanctions on russia that shes asking for.
