President Trump answered some shouted questions from reporters as he headed for the helicopter this morning.
While his main focus was on how great the jobs number was and the “Witch Hunt” that is Mueller’s investigation (and the Democrat-led investigations)…
Trump said “if it was fair, he would override the advice of his lawyers not to speak to Mueller.”
“I would love to talk to Mueller or the investigations, because there was no collusion with Russia, but there are 13 democrats, 13 angry democrats, and I wouldn’t be treated fairly.”
We suspect the main headlines will be about his comments on Rudy Giuliani, after Giuliani appeared for a series of bombshell interviews on Fox News and declared that Cohen was repaid by the president for his $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about an alleged affair with Trump.
“…we love Rudy, he’s a special guy but he doesn’t understand all the facts… he’s only been here a few days… he understands this is a witch hunt… he’ll get his facts straight.”
Which clearly implies the White House is shifting the narrative once again. As The Hill notes, Giuliani said Trump only learned about what the payment was for recently; Trump then backed up Giuliani’s account in a series of tweets Thursday morning… But now, Trump appears to be walking that account back, adding even more confusion about the payment that has dogged his presidency.
Finally, Trump said that the former New York City mayor is:
“working hard, he’s learning the subject matter and he’s going to be issuing a statement too.”
Trump insisted “we’re not changing any stories” and urged reporters to go back to his statements early last month, when he flatly denied knowing about the payment and claimed he had no knowledge of the source of the money.
Of course, judging by President Trump’s historical playbook of praising before firing his staff, his “special guy… great guy” comments could be ominous for Giuliani.
