EYES AMONG THE STAFF.
MEANWHILE THE FULL THROATED
RECITATION FROM THE PRESIDENT
HIMSELF WHO IS FEELING VERY
STRONGLY ABOUT THE FACT THIS IS
A MAN THAT HE PAID HANDSOMELY
AND ALLOWED INTO HIS INNER
CIRCLE AND HE HAS OBVIOUSLY
FLIPPED.
HE HAS BEEN THE PRESIDENT’S
INNER CIRCLE.
YESTERDAY THE PRESIDENT TOLD
HARRIS FAULKNER THAT DIDN’T
TAKE VERY MUCH.
>> HE WAS ON A COMMITTEE, A
CONDO COMMITTEE MANY YEARS AGO.
AND HE WAS A VERY BIG SUPPORTER
OF MINE ON THAT COMMITTEE.
TRUMP WORLD TOWER, VERY TALL
BUILDING RIGHT OPPOSITE THE
UNITED NATIONS.
I LIKED HIM AND HE WAS A LAWYER.
BECAUSE OF THAT, I DID IT.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
IN RETROSPECT I MADE A MISTAKE.
>> LISTEN TO THAT FOR THOSE WHO
SAID THE PRESIDENT NEVER ADMITS >> LISTEN TO THAT FOR THOSE WHO
SAID THE PRESIDENT NEVER ADMITS
WHEN HE IS WRONG HE SAID WHEN
IT CAME TO HIRING COHEN I MADE
A MISTAKE.
INTERESTING.
>> Sandra: WHAT DO WE KNOW
ABOUT THIS INAUGURAL COMMITTEE
INVESTIGATION?
>> DEATH BY A THOUSAND CUTS OR
A THOUSAND LAWSUITS,
INVESTIGATIONS IS HOW IT SEEMS
LIKE AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
THIS IS SOMETHING MOST PEOPLE
NEVER HEARD OF AND A FEDERAL
PROSECUTOR LOOKING AT IT.
IT GOES BACK TO THE NOW-FAMED
BIGGER THAN IT LOOKED
INAUGURATION.
YOU SAW THE CROWDS THERE AND
THERE IS A VERY STRONG QUESTION
NOW AMONG INVESTIGATORS ABOUT
WHETHER OR NOT THE TRUMP
INAUGURATION COMMITTEE MISSPENT
SOME OF THE RECORD $107 MILLION INAUGURATION COMMITTEE MISSPENT
SOME OF THE RECORD $107 MILLION
IT RAISED FROM DONATIONS.
>> THE FEDERAL INVESTIGATION
INTO THE INAUGURATION?
>> THAT DOESN’T HAVE ANYTHING
TO DO WITH THE PRESIDENT OR THE
FIRST LADY.
THE BIGGEST THING THE PRESIDENT
DID IS ENGAGEMENT IN
INAUGURATION WAS TO COME HERE,
RAISE HIS HAND AND TAKE THE
OATH OF OFFICE.
HE WAS FOCUSED ON THE
TRANSITION DURING THE TIME AND
NOT ON ANY OF THE PLANS.
>> SANDRA, THIS IS A FAIRLY
LENGTHY STATEMENT.
I’LL TRY TO BLAST THROUGH IT AS
QUICKLY AS I CAN ON BEHALF OF
THE 58th PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURAL
COMMITTEE.
FINANCES WERE FULLY AUDITED AND
ARE FULLY ACCOUNTED.
MOREOVER THE INAUGURATION’S
ACCOUNTING WAS PROVIDED BOTH TO
THE FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION ACCOUNTING WAS PROVIDED BOTH TO
THE FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION
AND THE I.R.S. IN COMPLIANCE
WITH ALL LAWS AND REGULATIONS.
THESE FUNDS WERE RAISED FROM
PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS AND WERE
THEN SPENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE DONORS.
THE LAW AND THE EXPECTATIONS OF
THE NAMES OF DONORS WERE
PROVIDED AND NO IMPRO PRY TEASE
HAVE BEEN FOUND WITH THE DONORS. PROVIDED AND NO IMPRO PRY TEASE
HAVE BEEN FOUND WITH THE DONORS.
THIS IS WHAT WAS SAID TO MY BY
A SENIOR STAFFERS THIS MORNING.
SORT OF WHAT’S HAPPENING WITH
THE NINTH CIRCUIT TRYING TO
DISRUPT THE TRUMP LEGAL AGENDA
OUT WEST.
YOU SEE THE MANHATTAN OFFICE,
THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW
YORK TARGETING THE TRUMP ORBIT
IN THE EAST.
SHE SAID THEY WILL REMAIN
STRONG.
>> Sandra: KEVIN, THE PRESIDENT
IS SAID TO BE WHITTLING DOWN
THE CANDIDATES FOR CHIEF OF
STAFF.
WHERE DO THINGS STAND ON THAT
THIS MORNING?
>> IT’S NOT AYERS, MULVANEY,
YOU OR ME.
THE LIST IS NOW DOWN TO FIVE
PEOPLE.
LISTEN, AS I’VE SHARED WITH YOU
PREVIOUSLY THE PRESIDENT WILL
MAKE THIS DECISION ON HIS OWN.
THIS WON’T BE SORT OF A
DECISION BY COMMITTEE.
STILL TRYING TO REPLACE THE
CHIEF OF STAFF JOHN KELLY IS A
VERY IMPORTANT OPPORTUNITY FOR
THIS WHITE HOUSE.
FOR A COUPLE OF REASONS.
NUMBER ONE, YOU WANT TO MAKE
SURE YOU HAVE SOMEONE WHO CAN
MAKE THE TRAINS RUN ON TIME.
NUMBER TWO, KEY, YOU WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE SOMEONE
WHO CAN MANAGE THE PRESIDENT AS MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE SOMEONE
WHO CAN MANAGE THE PRESIDENT AS
WELL.
SO YEAH, THIS LIST IS FLUID
WITH BIG NAMES COMING AND GOING
BY THE MINUTE.
>> President Trump: WE’RE
INTERVIEWING PEOPLE NOW FOR
CHIEF OF STAFF.
FIVE PEOPLE.
REALLY GOOD ONES.
TERRIFIC PEOPLE.
MOSTLY WELL-KNOWN BUT TERRIFIC
PEOPLE.
