Flynn, and they asked about immigration and DACA. They also asked about the spy ship.

They didn't know the pres was giving a press conference. They were told he was there to introduce the labor secretary.

CNN was trying to get him to deal with the contradiction between calling the reports about Flynn and ties to Russians fake news while complaining about leaks. The point was to expose Trump's dishonestly about Flynn.

You say you watched it but managed to miss nearly everything.
