Not surprisingly, the American press basically ignored the Colombian President at today's joint press conference and jumped right into the Russia investigation. To start, Trump said he respected Rosenstein's decision to appoint a Special Counsel but also repeated that he views it as a "witch hunt" and "divisive" for the nation.
When asked directly whether he in any way asked Comey to end his Micheal Flynn investigation, Trump responded with an emphatic "No, No, next question." Reporter: "Did you, at any time, urge former FBI Director James Comey, in any way, shape or form, to close or to back down the investigation into Michael Flynn?" Trump: "No. No. Next question."
To kill this narrative of Trump telling Comey to step down from investigating Flynn...All Trump really needs to do is simply tweet out video of Comey on May 3rd telling the Senate Committee under oath that President Trump did not ask Comey to step down from any investigations.
It's funny how the mainstream media ask Trump's these questions claiming they are not fake news, when the thing that totally debunks James Comey's memo is all over social media and multiple news outlets...But you won't see it from the media asking Trump these stupid questions. The media has nothing and James Comey former Director of the FBI has nothing, because all that needs to be shown is the James Comey testimony under oath in the Senate Committee hearing on May 3rd.
