A Week That Will Haunt Trump’s Presidency

This piece is only available to Political Wire members.

Let’s review the last seven days: President Trump abruptly fired FBI Director James Comey, who was leading an investigation into his campaign’s ties to Russia. The very next day he shared highly classified information with the Russian ambassador in the Oval Office. In each case, his advisers scrambled to contain the media firestorm by putting out their version of events only to see the President himself completely contradict them within hours. To top it off, Trump threatened Comey to keep quiet by suggesting he had secret “tapes” of their conversations.
