After the press was escorted out of the conference room, Breitbart News obtained an audio recording of the rest of President Trump’s speech to Republican members of Congress “as he delighted the crowd by discussing the details of his cognitive exam at Walter Reed Military Hospital. He boasted that he got a ‘30-for-30’ score… He said that in the beginning of the test, he had to identify sketches of animals, which was pretty easy.”

“Later in the test, he explained, he had to repeat disassociated words as the test administrators asked him to repeat them at different points in the test: ‘Let me tell you, those last ten questions are hard,’ he said, and added. ‘There aren’t a lot of people that can do that.'”

“Trump said he was up to nine minutes on the treadmill for his physical, even though he was only asked to do five before the doctor asked him if he wanted to keep going. ‘I said, “What do I have to prove?”’ he said. ‘I’m telling you, I could have gone much longer.’”

“That was one of the greatest years in the history of politics. I’ve kept one promise after another and we’re just getting started… Now we’ve fulfilled far more promises than we promised… I call it promises plus.”

Jonathan Swan: “Inside the Trump administration, sources who’ve been briefed on the Nunes memo expect it will be underwhelming and not the ‘slam dunk’ document it’s been hyped up to be.”

“Trump still wants to release the memo. But there are a number of people in the White House who are fairly underwhelmed, and there’s internal anxiety about whether it’s worth angering the FBI director and intelligence community by releasing this information.”

President Trump “cleared the way for the release of a secret memo written by Republican congressional staffers and said to accuse federal law enforcement officials of abusing their surveillance authorities,” the New York Times reports.

“The president’s decision came despite a growing chorus of warnings from national security officials who say that releasing the document would jeopardize sensitive government information, including how intelligence is gathered, and from Democrats who say it is politically motivated and distorts the actions of the Justice Department and the F.B.I. by omitting crucial context.”
