Trump surprises group on first White House tour since inauguration
President Donald Trump met with business leaders including Elon Musk on Wednesday, talked about prescription drugs with a key Democratic lawmaker and hosted conservatives at the White House for a discussion about health care.
Instead, he took only two questions from his choice of conservative media outlets.
Neither reporter pressed the President on the Russian Federation story. The President remained silent in a later photo opportunity with Mr Netanyahu when asked about the issue again.
“Working with the new administration, we in Congress have a great deal of work to do in developing an infrastructure package to promote economic development, improve the transport of people and products, and create jobs”, said Chairman Collins.
That anger was mocked though by some in the right-wing press.
The “photobombing”, as some called it, also generated some jokes.
An unnamed source told TIME that Trump felt personally let down by his staff’s inability to squash reports about Session’s contacts with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
After a brief hiatus, tours of the White House have resumed and president Donald Trump made sure to surprise a group and pose for photos.
For one, the visitors gather around as if they were promised a glimpse of one of the remaining Beatles.
Sessions, a vocal Trump supporter previous year, had been asked at his Senate confirmation hearing in January whether he had had any contacts with Russians during the campaign and he said he had not.
Trump was greeted with boisterous applause and cheers from the group of about 50 tourists, mostly children, who were gathered in the basement of the White House residence.
Musk, who is making his third trip to meet with Trump since the president took office January 20, said in December that he planned a project dubbed “the Boring Company” to start digging tunnels in Los Angeles to relieve traffic congestion. “There goes that relationship”. “I also talked to the president about policies that allow Wall Street and corporations to take advantage of workers while lowering wages and stripping workers of rights”.
