aisle, are rightly concerned about how he may respond when tested by russia, iran, north korea, and other transnational threats such as cyber. considering some of these hotspots in the world in detail, i would like to start with iran, which remains a top concern for this committee. their behavior with respect to forces across the region has not improved and iran s unsafe actions have continued. i believe the joint plan of action is the most effective way to prevent iran from resuming their nuclear weapons program. general mattis, while you raise concerns about the jcpoa when it was being negotiated, you stated during a center for strategic and international studies forum in april 2016 that in your words, there is no going back absent a real violation. i agree with that assessment. i look forward to hearing your thoughts about how we can build upon the jcpoa to address other iranian threats including its malign influence in the region and ballistic missile programs. violent ext ....
senator lindsey graham whether or not there is an investigation ongoing into the donald trump campaign and those contacts that allegedly occurred with russian officials during the presidential election. since they have not confirmed the existence of an investigation, they have not even confirmed with senators, so in a private meeting between graham and whitehouse on march 2nd, james comey would not tell these two senators whether or not there was an investigation ongoing, even though they sit on a judiciary subcommittee investigating the issue of russia. comey according to sheldon whitehouse said he would confirm whether or not that investigation is occurring by this hearing that they re having tomorrow in this senate judiciary committee subcommittee exploring russia s meddling in the election. eastern yoeuropean elections as committee and the top democrat mark warner told me going into the briefing there s no evidence whatsoever even though he met with james comey last week. ....

this was the last day before the trump presidency s 100th day. and congress put in less than half a day because there is no trump agenda item alive in congress right now. there is no bill moving anywhere in congress now. no legislative vehicle that is a trump agenda item. we have never seen a 99th day like this for a president. every president s busiest legislative year is the first year. it s when their power of persuasion over the congress is at its highest. and it only goes down after that. what a president accomplishes in his first year is usually most of what the president will accomplish in his first term. this is so clear historically that when bob woodward chose to write a book entitled the agenda, he decided to focus entirely on a president s first year. and he picked a president with a loaded first year agenda, bill clinton. at this point in bill clinton s first year, the congress was working overtime. at the same time, congress was working on nafta, a giant tax bi ....
