President Trump began the month hosting a White House celebration with people freed from prison by the First Step Act. He told the April Fools' Day gathering the White House would work on a Second Step Act "right away."
Despite the day, Trump was not joking. But he was also not correct.
Sources tell the Washington Examiner that the White House is in fact not preparing a Second Step Act package to follow the landmark criminal justice reform law, which is Trump's only major bipartisan legislative achievement.
“There’s definitely not a Second Step Act,” said a source who works on White House reform efforts and helped with Trump’s April 1 speech, a draft of which did not mention new legislation.

And this “source”, is this person with the President 24/7? Perhaps he is working on it without the “source”. Idiots.
So he lied, big woo. At least he did it on April Fool’s Day.
He said he WOULD work in it. Never said WHEN.
“Hey everybody, don’t pay any attention to that GDP news today!”
Yeah - I don’t buy this article at all. Just because their gossipy insider is having a tantrum for not being included doesn’t mean that Truno isn’t setting up a 2nd stage.
Second Step is replace the First Step folks with Hillary and company.
Making a future promise is a lie?
So, one anonymous source doesn’t know of a “Second Step” legislative imitative, so therefore it doesn’t exist?
Quite a stretch there, Butch.
I guess everyone in DC needs to see /s before getting it.
Now THEY deny he was joking in order to prove he’s wrong again!...

Step 1.2 is seeing how Step 1 worked out.
Steps 1/3, 1.4, 1.5, etc. to follow before we get to Step 2.
Step 1: Collect Underpants
Step 2:
Step 3: Profit!
The left will never come to terms with the fact that people who tell the truth speak in general terms about ideas they believe to be truthful while lyers take ideas they know to be falsehoods and make sure every detail is consistently false.
When you speak the truth you don’t fear people calling you on trivial details. When you lie you always have to get every detail of the story consistent with the rest of the lie.
Given the number of people from outside of the DC Bubble Permanent Government types Trump worked with on his First Step plan I doubt anyone can be absolutely sure that an outsider like Trump isn’t relying on other outsiders to come up with a proposal.
Just because this aide doesn’t know about the 2nd step does not mean President Trump is not working on it.
Unless writers reveal their “sources” the result is Fake News.
Tranlation: "He didn't like my ideas and took me off the project!"
Seems like the 2nd step act is probably something Ivanka & Jared would work on, not unlike the 1st step act. Unless the source is one of them there’s no reason to think something isn’t being considered.
