I've talked with Kevin about this privately but not as much publicly, wouldn't it be great to force a Democrat running in a tight race to have to put up or shut up about voting for Nancy Pelosi eight weeks before an election ? That's a really, really good vote for us to force if we can figure out how to do it.

Let me be clear, there was absolutely no quid pro quo between Ukrainian military aid and any investigation into the 2016 election ... There never was any condition on the flow of the aid related to the matter of the DNC server.

Did he also mention to me ... the corruption related to the DNC server? Absolutely. No question about that. But that's it. And that's why we held up the money.

Let me be clear, there was absolutely no quid pro quo between Ukrainian military aid and any investigation into the 2016 election. The president never told me to withhold any money until the Ukrainians did anything related to the server.

Did Mick Mulvaney also mention to me in the past, the corruption related to the Democratic National Committee server ? Absolutely. No question, but that's it. That's why we held up the money.

The look-back to what happened in 2016 certainly was part of the things that he was worried about in corruption in that nation.

There never was any condition on the flow of the aid related to the matter of the Democratic National Committee server.

The answer to that is, well the' so what' is Representative Gerald Connolly're going to be impeached because that's abuse of office. And extortion, the last time I checked, is still a crime.

The two are absolutely not linked, these are not tariffs as part of a trade dispute. These are tariffs as part of an immigration problem.

Shahira Knight is an incredible asset to me, to this administration, and to the country, shahira Knight's as valuable for Shahira Knight strategic political insights behind the scenes as Shahira Knight is for Shahira Knight numerous public contributions. I've enjoyed working alongside her every day I have been here, and it is an understatement to say that Shahira Knight will be sorely missed.

I do, but I also think we're being played by the Democrats a little bit, you know, I think what they want me to do is say,' well what we'll do is raise taxes, and we'll do this and this and this,' and then they'll have a news conference -- see, President Donald Trump wants to raise taxes.

Is this a real negotiation ? I think it remains to be seen. by Mick Mulvaney

You hate to sound like a cliche, but are you better off than you were four years ago ? It's pretty simple, right ? ' It's the economy, stupid.' I think that's easy, people will vote for somebody they don't like if they think it's good for them.

Democrats are demanding that the IRS turn over the documents. That is not going to happen, and they know it. This is a political stunt.

You can make all the promises you want but when you're still sending 100,000 people across the southern border, actions speak louder than words, we want to work with the Northern Triangle countries but we need their assistance.
