What happened
Phillip asked whether Trump wanted acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker to rein in special counsel Robert Mueller. CNN said she had asked a pertinent question. In the same gaggle he said of April Ryan, 'she doesn't know what the hell she's doing.' The National Association of Black Journalists condemned the remarks.
