agency administrator scott pruitt for potential criminal conduct. lawmakers allege pruitt has repeatedly violated federal anticorruption laws by seeking to leverage his government position for personal gain. there has been no response from pruett's office. earlier today, president trump said that pruitt is doing a great job at the epa. the trump administration says it will no longer cover key parts of obamacare including the coverage mandate and pre-existing medical conditions denial. republican led states are suing to strike down the entire law. they say the recent move by congress to root appeal a decision to require them to pay a fine makes the entire act unconstitutional. the industry trade group says removing consumer protections for people with health problems in older adults will harm consumers. we have incredibly sad news to tell you about tonight concerning our friend and colleague charles krauthammer. news he delivered in his own way today. mike emanuel has details. >> reporter: charles krauthammer has been a legendary conservative voice for years. he's appeared on s

and so for example, when you look at scott pruitt, who is by far the most corrupt cabinet member in my lifetime, i think in all of our lifetimes, and get -- yet he hasn't been held accountable. so if the intention is really to drain the swamp, if the intention is really to cut costs, we've got an epa head who has spent more than the obama and bush administrations did combined in security detail. so again i think on the surface it looks good. you start to peel back the onion, take one layer deep. the administration is on the record in saying that the intention is to cut back, to scale back these programs, and this is going to hit some of the president's ardent supporters the hardest. >> heather: brad, final word. >> the mission is not to hurt anybody. it is to make government more responsive and more responsible to the american people and to understand that government has to be nimble enough to change, nimble enough to understand what works and what doesn't, and have the courage and responsibility to make those changes for the people. the status quo is unacceptable. >> heather: thank

"the washington post" reports he sought help from republican donors and others in finding a job for his wife. reports he ordered a top aide to work on that progress on my project. no response yet on this new reporting but it does join a long list of reported actions including the 24/7 security detail, spending $43,000 on a soundproof booth, making costly ips to morocco paying below market rent for a condo owned by a lobbyist wife. and using a security detail to do personal tasks. some of those he has responded to directly, others he has not. we will continue to follow a response to the latest porting. as we told with the top of the program president trump says there is no longer a nuclear threat from north korea. he's also defending his decision to halt u.s. military exercises with south korea during negotiations with kim jong un's government. all of it is creating as you can imagine quite a stir on capitol hill. correspondent kevin corke has tonight's report from the white house. >> after
