What Sec. Nielsen says is true. Family separation is not a DHS policy, and it is certainly not a law. It is a practice, a measure, a tactic. Which means it is discretionary. The Trump admin wants to do it. They believe it will work at the border and at the polls. https://t.co/acTBnxiYce

canceling exercises
Oh, yes he did cancel the joint military exercises. Trump said it's "inappropriate" to have war games, which are "provocative" and "very expensive." Six-and-a-half hours to send bombers from Guam to practice in South Korea is "a long way," Trump says. "I know a lot about planes."

scoop
The president tried to preempt us .. SCOOP: Trump’s lawyers hand delivered a 20 page confidential letter to Mueller in January. We have obtained it and here is our story: w/@maggieNYT @charlie_savage @mattapuzzo https://t.co/1SqsoV8SoA https://t.co/7N4kwsvSJd
— Michael S. Schmidt (@nytmike) June 2, 2018
excerpt
In a brash assertion of presidential power, the 20-page letter — sent to the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, and obtained by The New York Times — contends that the president cannot illegally obstruct any aspect of the investigation into Russia’s election meddling because the Constitution empowers him to, “if he wished, terminate the inquiry, or even exercise his power to pardon.”
and this came off it
President Trump, according to his own lawyers, helped deceive the public about the now-infamous Trump Tower meeting between top campaign officials and a Kremlin-linked lawyer. https://t.co/VUmvkrpXSt
— Citizens for Ethics (@CREWcrew) June 2, 2018
When the news of the meeting was breaking, Trump reportedly participated in drafting a statement saying the purpose of the meeting was to talk about adoptions. Trump’s lawyers, in the letter to Mueller’s team, confirmed all that reporting.
and that came after talking to Putin
In brief, we know Trump spoke to Putin (without a note-taker) immediately before the plane ride in which his attorneys have conceded he dictated Don Jr.’s statement.
