a key speech to conservatives trump is under mounting pressure on both domestic and foreign policy after this week's failed north korea cement and the explosive allegation in decades has played host to republican leaders at the event trying to criticize democratic congressional investigations into his affairs. but they fight so hard on this which chant this phony deal that they put together this phony thing that now looks like it's dying so they don't have anything with russia there's no collusion so now they go and morph into let's inspect every deal he's ever done we're going to go into his finances we're going to jackies deals we're going to check these people are sick. for more let's bring in washington correspondent all over salad all over quite an unusual address there by the president what else did he say in his two hour speech. well that was his first appearance

after his failed summit with north koreans kim jong un and also after his formal lawyer and fixer michael cohen testified at congress so all eyes were on the u.s. president here today to see how he tackles his situation how he deals with the pressure is he's currently under that is mounting on him right now and interesting lee he did not go up talking about michael cohen or north korea at first and then went straight off of his script really just as he did in the two thousand and sixteen election campaign and started attacking his political opponents he ridiculed the democrats made fun of the. congressional committees that are currently investigating against him and that was exactly celebrated in fact by by a cheering crowd that was all fired up and cheered for their president really

those were the pictures donald trump needed at this point. to go back into the offensive really after suffering a major setbacks here in recent days and weeks he was of course on home turf at this gathering but is he still have the full support of conservatives. he was and you could see that of course as well but when it comes to assessing him then the republican narrative is of course a different one then he is mostly evaluated based upon what he achieved as president and that he fulfilled many of his promises that he made during the two thousand and sixteen election campaign and those are renegotiating trade agreements with a can of and mexico for instance the fuel you fueled the american economy brought back life to the steel industry here in the united states and those are aspects

that are by far more important for his supporters than foreign policy issues for instance meanwhile the democrats are accelerating their investigation into terms affairs following that explosive testimony from his former lawyer michael cohen how much pressure is the president now under. so the testimony of michael cohen was above all a very embarrassing moment for the u.s. president cohen called him a con man and a racist and he delivered some evidence for that as well that this was evidence that we have heard and seen before so there was not a lot new coming out of these testimonies that said that was the public part of the testimonies and there were going on and will go on behind closed doors next week we don't know exactly what is being said behind these closed doors what we're waiting for right now is still the result of the mall investigation and the big overarching question here will be whether or not robert a small of the special counsel will be

able to deliver evidence that that the u.s. president that donald trump colluded with russian government officials whether or not this will be the case doesn't really matter for the next weeks for him this will be certainly a very difficult phase for him as pressure continues to mount on him. respond in oliver salad in washington d.c. thank you. and while don't trump was addressing conservatives democratic senator bernie sanders kicked off a second presidential campaign in new york city as a platform for the two thousand and twenty election includes medicare for all a fifteen dollar minimum hourly wage and addressing climate change sanders predicted he would win the democratic party nomination and then defeat don't want from whom he called the most dangerous president in modern u.s. history. in algeria one man has died and dozens have been injured
