President Trump dismissed the pool at 9:57 a.m. He did not take any questions on Iran.
President Trump said things were going well with Iran, and his team expected to get some more information on the situation later today.
Trump was asked why he didn’t sign such an order in his first term for this kind of research, and replied no one told him about it. Earlier, Joe Rogan said his outreach to Trump got things in motion.
Your pooler spotted construction workers outside the Oval Office and the presidential limousine, The Beast, parked on the South Lawn driveway.
More TK.
