Obama ‘Livid’ With Trump After Wiretapping Claim: Undermines POTUS’ ‘Integrity’
Wall Street attorney Jay Clayton, President Donald Trump’s pick to head the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, vows to recuse himself from agency matters involving his law firm and former clients, according to an ethics agreement.
Representatives of the former president have staunchly denied the claims levelled at them by Trump in his explosive tirade.
“Trump confounds these people because he’s always a step or two ahead”.
But what he called “the alternative” result would also be scandalous if it is determined that Trump made the accusation with no evidence.
The hearing will likely be the first in-depth public inquiry into allegations of connections between Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and the Russian government, as well as Russia’s efforts to influence the US election.
March 5: White House press secretary Sean Spicer says in a statement, “Reports concerning potentially politically motivated investigations ahead of the 2016 election are very troubling”.
Given Trump’s track record these almost last two years, there is good reason to take him at his word here. Other unnamed sources who spoke to CNN said that Obama has been “exasperated” by Trump’s behavior since taking office. “I’ve got to believe-I think he might have something there, but if not, we’re going to find out”, said Representative Jason Chaffetz of Utah when asked about the president’s allegations.
Some Republican lawmakers have expressed concern at President Donald Trump’s frequent resort to calling for investigations on a variety of issues. Or his insistence, after losing the popular vote, that 3 to 5 million people had voted illegally for Hillary Clinton – complete with the promise of an investigation into this massive fraud. Nunes asked. “We don’t know the answer to that question”.
He has previously referred to the media as the “opposition party” and recently told the Conservative Party Conference that he supported the “deconstruction of the administrative state” meaning taxes and regulations that Trump has promised to cut back. But a president’s words are themselves a form of action, because words spoken in high office carry great weight. “They have asked us to look into it, but we were going to look into it anyway”. Alternatively, if it secured a warrant to bug Mr Trump’s phones, that would mean it had sufficient cause to believe Mr Trump or his associates were involved with terrorists or foreign spies to convince a judge on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.
However there is no evidence of a “deep state” operating and the notion in the U.S. has been described as a “figment of Steve Bannon’s imagination” by those who have worked in national security. Despite his fervent media criticism, Trump is a faithful newspaper reader who enjoys jousting with reporters, an avid cable TV news viewer who frequently live-tweets what he’s watching, and a reader of websites that have been illuminated by his presidential spotlight, showcasing the at-times conspiratorial corners of the internet.
The laissez-faire ideology is supposed to give rights to the states as well to the people, but if women are forced to seek black market abortions or pay higher costs for legal and safe abortions, it does not seem that this administration is for the rights for all people – especially if they are making it more hard for women to terminate unwanted pregnancies. “He has information and intelligence that the rest of us do not”.
At times, it seemed that even West Wing officials had not coordinated their responses with one another. Spicer didn’t let an hour pass without commenting on it again.
“The president’s tweets”, he said, “speak for themselves”.
