Mere hours ago, President Trump held a conference at the White House regarding yesterday’s testimony of former FBI director James Comey. A great majority of Americans tuned in on Thursday when Comey testified in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee. He was required to answer a series of questions related to his prior relationship with President Trump, the nature of his termination, and matters related to the White House. Earlier today, when the President was asked whether or not he was willing to testify under oath, he responded with a resounding “one hundred percent.” The Senate Intelligence Committee’s tactic to use Comey’s testimony as ammunition against President Trump was apparent to many Americans.
When the President was asked whether he requested that Comey “pledge his loyalty,” he rebutted. He followed by stating that he barely knew the former FBI director. The President also denied allegations that he asked Comey to halt the FBI’s investigation into the former national security adviser. The fact of the matter is this: establishment groups on both sides of the aisle have failed to obtain real evidence of any wrongdoings by the President, so they are now reduced to conspiracy theories and misrepresentations. President Trump would have absolutely no reason to request Comey to “pledge his loyalty”; the mere notion is absurd beyond belief.
