The make America Great again agenda is doing very well despite the distraction of the witch hunt, he insisted. But on the sunday shows, that socalled distraction took center stage.

And we are far closer to the beginning of the investigation than we are to the end.

You dont know that hes not under investigation, again, sir. I cant read the mind so, were in agreement. Reporter despite growing concerns the president may move to fire the special counsel or his bosses at the justice department, marco rubio insisted the investigation should run its full course. This is going to move forward. Were going to get the full truth out there, and i repeat, i believe that is the best thing that can happen for the president and for this administration.

Reporter its one of the unsolved mysteries. The president started the speculation about tapes in a tweet. The white house has refused to confirm or deny the existence of tapes.
