anderson. you have to ask the president. i don't know fit was appropriate for omarosa to call him acting like a dog without a leash whenever mrs. trump wasn't around. i know the president is referred to is everyone is well documented and especially jeff zeleny the fact that the president calls many people dogs, a lot of white people, a lot of white men dogs. its way the president talks. it's the way that the american people knew that the president, then candidate talks. so when he is attacked, when his character is attacked, he fights fire with fire. that's just who he is. >> careen, what about that? sarah sanders said today look, the american people knew the president speaks like this. he talked about being presidential when he was rung and how he could be different things at different times. if he is an equal opportunity offender of calling people durgs whatever, why should it be a concern? >> anderson, it doesn't make it less inappropriate. it doesn't make it less racist. donald trump has been really clear. just look at his twitter feed. he attacks at a more of a -- in his twitter than you see at anybody else, attacking wat

mr. mueller may be offering. evan perez and gloria borger got the story. evan joins us by phone. what do you know about where these negotiations stand right now? >> well, anderson, there is an important concession by the special counsel in this latest proposal. we're told that they finally got a response from the special counsel, first time in almost a month that they've heard back from the mueller team. and in this proposal, they are essentially asking, they're suggesting that they're willing to limit the number of obstruction questions that the president would be asked, but that he would still be asked some of those questions in a sit-down interview. so the president's team has been proposing this idea of a take home test. i like to call it a take-home test where the president gets to write answers to some questions about anything related to things that happened after he was inaugurated as president. so anything having to do with obstruction would come in this written test, so to speak. and so that's where they've been pushing. and so you now have at least some movement from the mueller team. but keep in mind, anderson, they're still insisting that they want

anderson of virginia to be an assistant secretary. mr. mcconnell: i ask consent the senate vote on the nomination with no intervening action or debate, that if confirmed the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table, the president be immediately notified of the senate's action, that no further motions be in order, that any statements relating to the nomination be principled in the record. the presiding officer: without objection. the question is on the nomination. all those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. the ayes appear to have it. the ayes do have it. the nomination is confirmed. mr. mcconnell: i ask unanimous consent the senate proceed to legislative session for a period of morning business with senators permitted to speak therein for up to ten minutes each. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. mcconnell: i ask unanimous consent the senate proceed to the immediate consideration of s. res. 620 submitted earlier today. the presiding officer: the clerk will report. the clerk: senate resolution 620, cong
