of truth as they described it to me when they first heard those comments both from the prosecutor general's office and then later from other officials in riyadh they said that although there was it seemed some sort of progress from the saudis in terms of at least admitting to exactly what's happened the fact that they're trying to dress it up as some sort of extraction operation gone wrong is a joke that think well why would you send somebody who is able to dismember a body so quickly why would he be present in the consulate with the tools to dismember that body and why would you get rid of those body parts so quickly and have a body double and all these other things that seem to just happen to have been they are whilst this allegedly extraction operation was undertaken they find it very difficult to believe and therefore are required for treated really that the saudis continue this later on after more than a month not to admit to what's happened and more importantly lauren continued to cover up as to who gave that order they know saudi arabia very well it is an absolute monarchy nothing can happe

prosecutor. next, to you first. an assistant attorney general, his office told the white house, before they made this appointment, thater was a-okay. the quote is, the president could designate a senior department of justice official, such as whitaker, as acting attorney general. maryland has said that's unconstitutional. i think san francisco has, as well. >> i think it is unconstitutional. we don't know what the question was. if he said he was going to be acting attorney general for three hours or three days, yeah, that probably would be okay. but any period of time where he would be actually making decisions that you would expect to be made by a principle under article viii of the constitution, someone who has to be confirmed by the u.s. senate, cannot be acting attorney general. trump cannot just move people out of these cabinet posts and just put other people -- >> except, he did. >> he did. and he's not supposed to do that. and hopefully this case in maryland will get some traction. because i've read papers and he's got -- the attorney general has a very good argument. there is a succession statute for the depar
