President Donald Trump attacked special counsel Robert Mueller's credibility Saturday, disparaging former Attorney General Jeff Sessions and former FBI Director James Comey as Washington waits for Mueller's report in the coming weeks.
In a largely unscripted, wide-ranging speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference lasting more than two hours, Trump hit on several key issues in a characteristic fashion -- mocking proponents of the Green New Deal, vowing to protect free speech on college campuses with an executive order and taking shots at his longtime rival and 2020 presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren.
"Trump, who has faced backlash for saying he took Kim's word that the North Korean leader was unaware of former prisoner Otto Warmbier's capture, said Saturday that he was torn between his obligation to negotiate and his support for the Warmbiers."I'm in such a horrible position," Trump said."Because in one way I have to negotiate. In the other way, I love Mr. and Mrs. Warmbier. And I love Otto. And it's a very, very delicate balance.
