we're back now with our political and legal analysts. over the course of the day, you've seen a number of trump's former advisers release statements, some not so explicitly worded in terms of their denials. but i want to focus on rob porter. in the woodward book, porter is talked about as taking papers off the president's desk. gary cohn, as well. things they didn't want the president to make bad decisions. listen to porter's statement here. he does call woodward's book selective and misleading. he goes on to say, the suggestion that materials were stolen from the president's desk to prevent his signature misunderstands how the white house document review process works and has worked for at least the last eight administrations. mark, i wonder there, it sounds like he's trying to explain the idea of taking things off the desk as possibly part of a regular vetting process. >> yeah. and i don't think there's any question that this has happened
