POPPY HARLOW, CNN ANCHOR: But yet even Republican Senator Joni Ernst said this is as swampy as swampy gets. So for these sort of anti, drain the swamp president, why is he willing to stick with Scott Pruitt?</s>JOSH DAWSEY, WHITE HOUSE REPORTER, THE WASHINGTON POST: The president really like Scott Pruitt as you said, and Scott Pruitt has -- you know, conducted a lot of his regulatory agenda. A lot of high-profile Trump donors and supporters really like Harold Ham really likes Scott Pruitt, and he hears consistently from conservatives around the country that Scott Pruitt is one of the most effective members of his Cabinet. What's interesting to us is that support for Pruitt inside the West Wing has eroded. Basically the president is the only person left in the building who supports Scott Pruitt. But the president really supports Scott Pruitt. He also has talked to Scott Pruitt about his frustrations with Jeff Sessions as "The New York Times" first reported this weekend and that's certainly true, and he has, you know, talked to Scott Pruitt about a number of political issues outside of the EPA. He's one of the president's favorite Cabinet members and so far the drip, drip, drip of ethical issues has not changed that dynamic for the president.</s>HARLOW: Yes. Important reporting as always. Josh Dawsey, nice to have you. Thanks again.</s>DAWSEY: Thanks for having me.</s>HARLOW: All right. So next, there was a rebellion over immigration among some House Republicans. Some late-night wrangling, though, managed to quash the revolt. What's next, though, in this battle over immigration reform among House Republicans as we head to the midterms.
