Rather than putting pressure on the businesspeople of the Manufacturing Council & Strategy & Policy Forum, I am ending both. Trump's statement is reported to be disgusting people in his administration, and it's had business and labor leaders bolting from White House panels, including from Merck and Under Armour, Intel, Alliance for American manufacturing, AFL-CIO, and Campbell Soup Company.Īmid the exodus, Trump dismissed the groups with a tweet: We reached out to the president's spokeswoman, asking if she could point out fine the people affiliated with the white power cause in Charlottesville. "Jews will not replace us! Blood and soil!" is what a marching crowd of white supremacists, spouting racism and anti-Semitism, seen on "VICE News Tonight on HBO," said in Charlottesville, Virginia on Friday night, carrying torches. I saw the same pictures that you did," Trump said to reporters. You had people in that group - excuse me. "You also had people that were very fine people - on both sides.
Still, what he said in his gold-plated lobby Tuesday will long reverberate: His name is still very visible on his skyscraper, but President Trump is gone from Trump Tower. Josh Robin has more on the fallout over the president's remarks about the deadly violence in Virginia. They tried to have an independent arbiter conduct an outside review of the documents, though a federal appeals court late last year ended that work and said Trump’s team was not entitled to that assessment.President Trump left New York City on Wednesday after a two-day stay that included perhaps the most explosive moments of his presidency. Trump has claimed that the materials were declassified and that he had the power to do so just by thinking about it, though his lawyers have not repeated that claim. It is not clear how much longer that investigation will last. A grand jury in Washington has been hearing evidence and federal prosecutors have interviewed multiple Trump associates. Prosecutors have revealed that they are investigating possible violations of multiple criminal statutes, including willful retention of national defense information and obstruction. Some of the material was so sensitive that Justice Department prosecutors and FBI counterintelligence investigators required additional security clearances to review them.Ī special counsel, Jack Smith, is investigating whether to bring charges against Trump or anyone else related to the documents. The material taken at that time included roughly 13,000 government documents, including about 100 bearing classification markings. Last August, FBI agents executed a search warrant at the property after developing evidence that led them to believe that Trump and his representatives had not returned all the classified files. The Justice Department says roughly 300 documents with classified markings, including at the top-secret level, have been recovered from Mar-a-Lago after being taken there after Trump left the White House. Officials have declined to answer most questions in public or private about what they found, citing the ongoing criminal investigations and a separate “risk assessment” of the possible damage to intelligence sources. Separate special counsels are investigating the documents found in the possession of Trump and Biden. Six months after federal agents first conducted an unprecedented search of a former president’s home for classified documents, the White House faces bipartisan pressure to share what it found with lawmakers who say they are concerned about the potential damage to national security and intelligence sources. But it may not meet demands from lawmakers who want to review the documents taken not just from Mar-a-Lago but also from the locations belonging to Biden and the Indiana home of former Vice President Mike Pence. officials have offered to brief congressional leaders on their investigation into the classified documents found at former President Donald Trump’s Florida residence as well as President Joe Biden’s Delaware home and former private office, people familiar with the matter said Sunday.Ī briefing could come as soon as this week.
