Seeing Red
It’s been revealed that Attorney General Jeff Sessions had contact with a Russian ambassador during Trump’s campaign, which he did not mention while being vetted for his AG role. Sessions quickly fired back against the revelations in a statement: “I never met with any Russian officials to discuss issues of the campaign...I have no idea what this allegation is about. It is false."
Is the Russia/Trump controversy a real issue to be investigated or just politics? Neil Cavuto breaks it down on Cavuto: Coast to Coast at 12 p.m. EST.
Trump's Spending Spree
President Trump is hitting the road to push his spending agenda to the American people. Today he plans to speak aboard the aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford in Virginia to sell his $54 billion increase in defense spending. Trump is looking to offset the budget boost by cutting other agency budgets, which isn’t sitting well with Demorcrats or Republicans.
