mcgahn. he says that sessions made a huge error, he s very frustrated. a couple people have said one of the few times they ve seen him get genuinely angry as opposed to the blufter that we know the president is prone to was about jeff sessions. he s upset about the russia recusal situation and feels angry and hamstrung about the fact that the executive order that the president himself signed related to a ban on travel a temporary ban, quote/unquote, from muslim majority nations was struck down by the court. this was within the first week of the administration and set the tone going forward and in the president s mind, jeff sessions is tied to everything. lastly, your colleagues just broke some news which is fascinating about jim comey asking jeff sessions not to be left alone again with the president or that he didn t want to be left alone with the president. it s quite striking. essentially you have the fbi director concerned about the position apparently that the presi ....
event and they were keeping it separate. with some prodding from the press, they decided to allow a few reporters in and one camera. two hours later, they changed their minds. so there s no press inside this event right now. we have no idea what the president is saying to donors, and we likely won t find out unless one of the donors tells us. how much is the trump hotel getting paid to host this? i know you were asking some questions about that. reporter: that s a great question. we have no idea who is paying for this event tonight that the president is attending. we reached out for comment, and our requests have not been answered. so it could be the rnc. it could be the re-election campaign, and it could be that the hotel donated the space. we don t know. is it normal for a president to hold a fund raiser for rhis re-election five months after taking office? presidents obama and bush didn t unprecedented and remarkable in and of itself. put it all together and once agai ....
