"Joe: President Donald Trump Doesn't Know What It's Like To Miss A Paycheck | Morning Joe | MSNBC"

the Union address or deliver it in writing, citing security concerns from the ongoing government shutdown.

Remember the Republican controlled Senate passed a government spending bill which Trump said he wouldn't sign because it didn't contain funding for his wall. It would be cheaper for the president to make his State of Union address from the Oval Office. Pelosi says the shutdown is yours, do your address from your house, not from mine as long as your government shutdown continues. Trump is his failure to take the deal is causing the people and the economy to suffer each day his tantrum continues.

Two portraits of William Barr emerged during the second day of his confirmation hearing to lead the Justice Department as President Trump's choice as attorney general.
P - One was of a brilliant and moral man who oversaw the resolution of a hostage crisis at a federal prison without any casualties and another was
of an early 1990s attorney general who held views on race and policing that now seem antiquated and unacceptable to many in law enforcement.

It’s been four months since Rudy Giuliani joined Donald Trump’s legal defense team, and when the former mayor got to work,

HERE ARE 18 REASONS TRUMP COULD BE A RUSSIAN ASSET
By Max Boot January 13 at 3:24 PM
[...]
— Trump was utterly supine in his meetings with Putin, principally in Hamburg and Helsinki. Even more suspicious, according to a Post article on Saturday, Trump “has gone to extraordinary lengths to conceal details of his conversations with Putin, including on at least one occasion taking possession of the notes of his own interpreter and instructing the linguist not to discuss what had transpired with other administration officials. Several officials said they were never able to get a reliable readout of the president’s two-hour meeting in Helsinki.”
