Trump will live-tweet during testimony of former FBI Director James Comey
Washington Post reporter Robert Costa told MSNBC on Tuesday that the president would directly respond to Comey on Twitter as the testimony is underway.
“I was just talking to some White House officials this morning and their view is that the president himself wants to be the messenger, his own warrior, his own lawyer, his own spokesman,” Costa explained. “Some outside people, some surrogates will be available.”
“But the president is expected to be tweeting on Thursday in response to Comey, not to stay quiet during the testimony,” he added. “Because he himself wants to be the one driving the process.”
Not coincidentally, it's reported none of the top lawyers in DC, the kind of people you want on your side in a major investigation from the FBI, Congress, and a special prosecutor, will touch Trump with a club.
