The White House Press corps have had for him all week about this. He also left for bedminster this afternoon, ignoring questions once again.

The white house has been virtually silent. Yeah. Is there reporting on how the president is feeling about the latest news . Reporter well, the president has been very angry.

They are clamping down on the opportunities that reporters get to ask both the president and also senior white house officials questions about all of these matters. Abby phillip, thanks very much. N
