Mick Mulvaney's bad week just got worse

By Nancy Cook 1 hr ago

Mick Mulvaney’s week went from bad to worse on Sunday, as he again tried to explain why President Donald Trump and the administration had withheld aid to Ukraine for weeks — one of the Democrats’ central questions in their impeachment inquiry.

Mulvaney fumbled during an interview on “Fox News Sunday” when he cited two reasons for the delay, whereas he had originally listed three during his Thursday press briefing at the White House. He continued to blame reporters for any misunderstanding, a feat that can be tough to pull off when his answers were all delivered on camera and when the host, Chris Wallace, kept rolling that tape.

And he threw red meat to liberals and Democratic presidential candidates who have long questioned the appropriateness of the Trump family continuing to profit from its business holdings while Trump serves as president.

“At the end of the day, he still considers himself to be in the hospitality business,” Mulvaney said to Wallace about Trump’s original decision to hold the next G7 summit at his resort in Doral, Fla. — a decision he reversed late Saturday.

“I just have to pick up: You say he considers himself in the hospitality business?” Wallace asked. “He’s the president of the United States.”

It appears its really hard work trying to do damage control.
AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.
