KATE BOLDUAN, CNN ANCHOR: It really was an amazing gesture. What do you think moved Senator Corker so much, though?</s>SEN. ED MARKEY, (D), MASSACHUSETTS: I think it was probably the combination of the fact that Senator Isakson was delivering a eulogy at a funeral, and the very rare moment in the Trump era where people were trying to show personal courtesy to one another. And by the way, it happens on a daily basis in the Senate, where on a personal level, people are still friends. But the overarching environment within which we work is one of bitter acrimonious partisanship. And so I think that's why this was a moment that will stand out. But it is not, unfortunately, from my perspective, as we're now talking about Ronny Jackson, talking about Scott Pruitt, talking about pulling out of the Iran deal, likely to affect the larger atmosphere within which we are continuing to work in the Trump era.</s>BOLDUAN: I sure would like to see those daily personal connections play out more publicly more often. It is good to note it when it happens. Thank you, Senator.</s>MARKEY: It was a beautiful -- it was a beautiful moment, we hope that it is going to be replicated, but it is only with our fingers crossed that we -- that we express that hope because the atmosphere in general just doesn't lend itself to that.</s>BOLDUAN: Yes. Well, hope springs eternal. Keep the fingers and toes crossed. Senator, thank you.</s>MARKEY: Thank you.</s>BOLDUAN: Any moment now, we'll hear from President Trump, live from the White House, in a joint news conference with the French president. After everything the president already said this morning, can only imagine what is going to come next. Stay with us.
