understand anything going on with that individual nor would i think that she could presume what's go iing on with me or th way that i am responding. look, we've condemned domestic violence in every way possible. in fact, the president's budget that he released yesterday fully funds the violence against women act. we're looking for ways to take action to help prevent this from ever happening to anyone to presume i feel differently is a strong mischaracterization of who i am, who this white house is, what our actions are focused on and what we're trying to do here. i'm going to keep moving. >> where does it stand as we sit here today? terms of if the president has confidence in him, why does he have confidence in him, based on everything we learned over the last week? >> look, i don't have anything further to add. the president's confidence in his chief of staff. we'll continue to do the best we can to help the american people.
