What Prompted Trump’s New Attacks on Mueller

The New York Times‘ Maggie Haberman told CNN that she doesn’t believe President Trump ever actually read the Mueller report and that seeing Robert Mueller discuss his findings on television “spooked him.”

Said Haberman: “When he hears Mueller say that on TV, again, him interpreting everything through the screen that is in front of him, I think that that had much more resonance than almost anything else that has happened.”

She added: “He saw Mueller in the box, and I think that that spooked him.”

She continued on Twitter: “It isn’t real to Trump unless there are tapes or photos. So Mueller speaking for the first time on the TV was significant.”
