good afternoon in the two weeks since President Trump nominated judge
Cavanaugh he has met with 23 senators unfortunately all of them are
Republicans that's because Senator Schumer is
encouraging his members to not even meet with the judge four members of the
opposing party to demand answers to questions and yet refuse to even meet
with a qualified Supreme Court nominee is unprecedented
Senator Schumer should stop these political games and meet with judge
Kavanagh we welcome Senate Democrats who take
their constitutional duty of advise and consent seriously Judge Cavanaugh stands
ready to meet with members of both parties as you know here in a few
minutes the president will be participating in an event and we're
excited to hold the 2018 made in America products showcase here at the White
House the president is committed to policies that ensure more products are
made in America today we will see items like snowboards made by never summer
industries in Colorado campers made by the new more corporation in Indiana an
f-150 truck made by the Ford Motor Company in Michigan and baseball bats
made by bwp bats in Pennsylvania and a personal favorite Ranger Boats from
flippin Arkansas is also here the president celebrates every state's
effort and commitment to american-made products and he is honored to have these
companies here today and we look forward to having you all join us at that event
here shortly and with that we'll hurry and jump into
questions Kevin thanks is the president considering the Republican House Intel
request to declassify key sections of the records with respect to that finds
the document release and will he do that declassification before the house goes
into recess after the president wants to has purposefully remain uninvolved in
this process he said repeatedly that he wants the
apartment of Justice to be fully transparent with these requests from
Congress and he's going to continue at this point to remain uninvolved however
he sees more and more every single day that this is proving
further and further to be a total witch hunt particularly because it was based
on a false and unverified and discredited dossier Steve I wish all the
presents sweet on Iran last night what prompted him to use a strong language on
them the president's been I think pretty strong since day one in his language
towards Iran he was responding to comments made from them and he's going
to continue to focus on the safety and security of American people I'm not
gonna get into specifics and certainly not negotiate with the press that would
be a determination that the president would make on what that looks like but
the ultimate goal and the focus of the president is making sure that we keep
nuclear weapon weapons out of their hands and that we focus on the
protection of Americans there the president tweeted yesterday that
Russia's election interference was all a big hoax those are the words he used the
last week he city had full faith in the US intelligence agencies so does he
believe the interference with the big hoax or does he have faith in the
intelligence agencies that have concluded definitively the other way
that Russia did in fact as the president has said many times and stated it over
and over again as I as an a number of other administration officials we
maintain that Russia interfere in the elections the president however very
much so and has repeatedly as again have the rest of us that his campaign
colluding in that process is a total hoax and we still hold that overall that
it was a hoax the president is referencing the collusion component once
again the president has faith in the intelligence that suggests and
maintained that Russia was involved in the elections however it's also
important that that same information concludes that it had no impact on the
election and that the president again would like to repeat that there was no
collusion sort of pulling on that question
very forcefully spoken out against the Ryans very forcefully spoken out against
North Korea he has said that he will force me speak out against any threat
the United States Russian election interference is a threat to our
democracy why will he not forcefully denounce that the president has been
incredibly tough on Russia he's brought it up directly to him in person every
single time that they have met he has put unprecedented sanctions and been
extremely tough on Russia across a number of fronts which we've addressed
here many times before frankly I'm not sure why that is so hard for the media
to write about we've repeated it time and time again the policy that the
president has been since day one in office has been extremely tough on
Russia probably more so than with any other country Thank You Sara Senator
Rand Paul today made his strong attempt to vitiate the credibility of former CIA
director John Brennan saying that he's and I quote monetizing his security
clearance and that it should be removed from him even call on the President to
do this will the president consider senator Paul's suggestion and call for
the removal former director Brennan security
clearance not only is the president looking to take away
Brennan's security clearance he's also looking into the clearances of Comey
clapper Hayden rice and McCabe the president is exploring the mechanisms to
remove security clearance because they've politicized and in some cases
monetize their public service and security clearances making baseless
accusations of improper contact with Russia or being influenced by Russia
against the president is extremely inappropriate and the fact that people
with security clearances are making these baseless charges provides
inappropriate legitimacy to accusations with zero evidence first when the
president pulled out of the jcpoa he did not reveal an alternate plan to address
Iran's nuclear ambitions he seemed to Bank on economic sanctions being enough
to get them back to the table is that still his plan B look as we have said
the president's number-one goal is to make sure Iran doesn't get a nuclear
weapon we have similar and shared interests with our European allies we're
continuing to have discussions with them and when we have specifics on that front
my question was a follow-up but my question about Russia is that you know
President Trump continues to air his grievances about the coverage of his
meeting with budgets you guys continue to excessively cover it but we can't
really because it's been seven days we have not received a readout we have not
received any specific details about agreements that were reached whether
formally or verbally so when can we expect that and by the way the only
agreement that was made was that the two national security teams from both the
United States and Russia would continue at a working-level these discussions I
can tell you that ambassador Bolton plans to have a meeting a follow-up with
his counterpart from Russia next month in addition to meetings with other
European allies to further those discussions and we'll keep you posted
when we have specific details with what that video
Sara so with this mr. Trump plan I'm ordering to move any carriers or
additional military resources to the region should Iran continue to pose the
threat that he alluded to in this tweet and I also have a fault I don't have any
specific announcements let's just follow up then secretary a secretary of state
Pompeo yesterday I talked a lot about corruption and human rights abuses in
Iran why is he zeroing in why the
administration zeroing in on Iran when a number of other states are guilty of the
same transgressions including Russia which we are now warming up today again
we've had tough conversations with Russia we've been tough on them with our
policy as I stated this morning we can be tough on more than one country at a
time and that's exactly what we're doing thanks Sarah could you explain a little
bit of the threshold that the president has for taking away former officials
security clearance is it his position then that any former Obama
administration official who holds clearance and just make political
statements about him should have their clearance revoked or is it just limited
to the names right now that you that you read as right now we are exploring the
mechanism on those specific names I'll keep you posted thanks a lot Sarah the
language the president used in the tweet that he sent out last night was very
similar to the language he used last August in New Jersey when he spoke with
fire and fury being rained down on North Korea and of course that led to a
one-on-one meeting the president ultimately had with Kim Java
is the president open to diplomacy with Iran meeting perhaps one-on-one with
President rouhani I'm not gonna gonna go she ate what the specifics that the
President or the administration would be looking at again our goal is to stop
Iran from nuclear weapons and we'll keep you posted as we move through that
process Congress we have regarding of judge Kavanaugh I think he made at the
very top there's a one a Republican senator who says he's undecided well
there's a few that say there's undecided but Rand Paul in particular says it says
I'm honestly undecided I'm very concerned about his position of privacy
and the Fourth Amendment are you concerned about using Rand Paul once
this for judge we're certainly hopeful that Senator Paul will do the right
thing and vote for this very highly qualified nominee yes Sarah
flipping around John's question about Iran considering the comments that we've
heard in the past day from the president's tweet ambassador Bolton's
statement which you put out in secretary Pompeo speech last night what is
stopping this administration from just openly advocating regime change in Iran
again our focus is on stopping Iran from having nuclear weapons regardless of who
is there that's what our priority is and if we have any further announcements on
that front I'll let you know but the president his administration are going
to continue pushing and advocating one of the stories that joke on front
how did the president feel when he found out that his longtime lawyer and fixer
had reported him surreptitiously while the president maintains that he's done
nothing wrong on this specific topic I'd refer you to the president's outside
counsel and still deny that he ever had a relationship with a woman named Karen
McDougal once again the president maintains that
he's done nothing wrong and I would refer you to Rudy Giuliani for all
questions on that matter I just learned to follow up first on this statement he
made about Brennan his security clearance
are you considering any additional actions against Brennan and the other
names you read off in addition to revoking their security clearance is
there any other action under review not that I'm aware of to go back real quick
to the Russia investigation so the fights application on Carter page states
that he is a Russian agent involved in clandestine activities given that the
president continues to say there was no collusion between his campaign and
Russia is he concerned or does he not believe the intelligence community's
assessment that Carter page was a Russian agent again I think that we've
spoken extensively what our position is on this and we have no changes to that
the president is threatening to punish Brennan and Comey and clapper for saying
things about him that he doesn't like the president is exploring these
mechanisms to resume remove security clearance because they politicized and
in some cases actually monetized their public service and their security
cleanse clearances and making baseless accusations of improper contact with
Russia or being influenced by Russia against
the president is extremely inappropriate the president contends to the fact that
people with security clearances are making these baseless charges provides
inappropriate legitimacy to accusations with zero evidence so we have further
updates on that front I'll certainly doesn't like and he wants to punish them
for no I think you are creating your own story there the president doesn't like
the fact that people are politicizing agencies and departments that are
specifically meant to not be political and not meant to be monetized
book security clearances several question after which to follow up on
that isn't the president doing exactly what you just said the president doesn't
want all these people doing politicizing matters of national security by going
after his political enemies no the president's not making baseless
accusations of improper contact with a foreign government and accusing the
President of the United States of treasonous activity when you have the
highest level of security clearance when you're the person that holds the
nation's deepest most sacred secrets at your hands and you go out and you make
false accusations against the President of the United States he thinks that is a
something to be very concerned with and we're exploring what those options are
and what that looks like okay message you sorry I gotta keep moving message
sorry I got about two more questions left Caitlin go ahead but son its
message to plum at Fort there's not that I'm more of Caitlin go ahead when is the
president going to make this decision on those security clearances I said when we
have an update we will let you know so my question that was just fun with that
my question has the president since unit answer if he's briefed since they
haven't briefed reporters on what went down during the two hour meeting to
actually have a conference the president's tone the number of
interviews we've actually put out quite a bit of information following that
meeting so I've seen is not about them in the press but has the president
briefed his national security adviser his Secretary of State the Director of
National Intelligence and the defense secretary on what exactly was said
between him and President Putin the president has met and spoken with all of
those individuals since his meeting with President Putin today relying solely on
his own memory to tell them what happened during that two hour meeting
the president has met and consulted with all of his national security team and we
feel very confident and remembers it happened it's night when I'm not going
to go into the specific details on how the president interacts every single
time with his national security team but it's a sit-down with the Russian
president actually about a rarity it's a normal practice for two world leaders to
be able to have a conversation with one another David go ahead
but what about President Obama and Vice President Biden of theirs and their
security clearances Al Andalus as well I'm not aware of any plans for that at
this point thanks so much guys we'll stop myself
