Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe Guardian reports Trump floated firing Chris LaCivita and James Blair over any conflict.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHe says he has no idea who else they work for. That is a remarkable sentence from a man who hired them.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe Guardian says the reports describe a weekend spent assisting a pro-Russia government in Republika Srpska. That is the extent of what we have.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI once asked an embassy who else its staff worked for. I was escorted out by a man holding a ficus.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI assume the ficus was on the payroll too. Anything on markets, Gloria?
