With President Donald Trump and his senior aides halfway around the world, the White House’s political allies held down the home front against a blistering attack back in Washington.
“Michael Cohen is a felon, a disbarred lawyer, and a convicted perjurer, who lied to both Congress and the Special Counsel in a ‘deliberate and premeditated’ fashion according to the Special Counsel’s Office,” Trump campaign spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany said. “Now he offers what he says is evidence, but the only support for that is his own testimony, which has proven before to be worthless.”
White House aides, Trump’s lawyers and others loyal to the president were glued to the hearing throughout the day. They privately expressed deep frustration that the spectacle was overshadowing Trump’s summit with Kim Jong Un.from Hanoi in which he accused Cohen of lying to get a reduced prison sentence.
