00:00Hi, Caroline.
00:01Hi.
00:02It's good to see you in here.
00:03You too.
00:04The President has long said that it would be an abuse of power for a President to direct
00:08prosecutors to investigate him.
00:11Last week, President Trump explicitly directed the Justice Department to scrutinize Chris
00:16Krebs to see if it can find any evidence of criminal wrongdoing.
00:21How is that not an abuse of power to direct the Justice Department to look into an individual,
00:28a named individual?
00:29MS.
00:30Look, the President signed that executive order.
00:31It's the position of the President in this White House that it's well within his authority
00:35to do it.
00:36Otherwise, he wouldn't have signed it.
00:37And he signed it, and that's his policy.
00:39Jeff, how are you doing?
