Organization hamas, a group whose stated purpose was to kill jews. This was an act of sheer evil. That was part of president joe bidens speech yesterday, promising that the United States will stand with israel following the horrific hamas tear terror attacks. Meanwhile the president also confirmed there are americans among the dozens of hostages being held by the terror organization. Well have the latest on the efforts to freedom.

The oval office, President Trump declined to weigh in on the Russia Investigation. At a News Conference with the italian Prime Minister do you feel betray ed by Michael Cohen, sir . A question about cohen and no response. Instead, the president unloaded in his usual safe space where there are no questions, on twitter, tweeting there is no collusion and slamming the Russia Investigation with a personal attack taz Robert Mueller rigged witch hunt and just after the president was tweeting there was no collusion, his outside lawyer was claiming on cnn that collusion isnt a crime. Which i dont know if thats a crime. Colluding about russians. You tart analyzing the crime. The hacking is crime. Add about that, the president relied on his aides. If theres no collusion theres no crime in collusion. Giuliani suggested the Special Counsel may have a conflict and couldnt say what it is. You have to hear the conflict. Not the president.

Trump had an event earlier today. He also tried to address some of the things that were said in the forum last ni
