“Increasingly convinced that the West Wing is wholly unprepared to handle the expected assault from Democrats if they win the House in November, President Trump’s aides and allies are privately raising alarm as his circle of legal and communications advisers continues to shrink,” the AP reports.
“With vacancies abounding in the White House and more departures on the horizon, there is growing concern among Trump allies that the brain drain at the center of the administration could hardly come at a more perilous time. Special counsel Robert Mueller’s swirling probe of Russian election interference and potential obstruction of justice by Trump has reached ever closer to the Oval Office, and the upcoming midterm elections could grant his political adversaries the power of subpoena or, more worryingly, the votes to attempt impeachment.”
Meanwhile, Maggie Haberman notes that Trump’s aides “say he is behaving as if he is cornered.”
