Watch Live: President Donald Trump's First State of the Union Address
Specials • E47 Jan 31, 2018 86m
Donald Trump gives his first State of the Union address on Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET, and it comes as the president has a bit of momentum: a vast rewrite of the American tax code and a budget stare-down over immigration where he forced Senate Democrats to surrender on Republican terms. But it also comes a week after the White House denied reports that Trump tried to fire special counsel Robert Mueller over the summer and was only stopped from doing so when White House Counsel Don McGahn threatened to quit. And on Monday, the White House said it had nothing to do with the early retirement of Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, a frequent target of Trump and Republicans in Congress.
