Thursday on CNN, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) said that President Donald Trump seemed to think he was still on NBC’s “The Apprentice” television show when asked about Trump’s interview with The New York Times.
In that interview, the president said if special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation looked into his family finances, it would cross a red line.
Klobuchar said, “Some days I think that it seems like he thinks he’s still doing ‘The Apprentice.” Every day, fire someone else – say they’re going to fire someone else. Let’s look at this in context. In fact, the acting Attorney General, Sally Yates, was fired. The FBI Director Jim Comey was fired. The national security advisor resigned. And you have a number of U.S. attorneys including a very important one in New York City that was fired. So this is serious stuff, and I was glad the White House dialed it back today because you don’t just start talking about firing the attorney general of the United States, who has a Constitutional duty, and the special counsel.”
