At the White House, presidential spokesperson Sarah Huckabee Sanders declared, “The president is not a liar.” Trump’s personal attorney, Marc Kasowitz, suggested that Comey perjured himself during congressional testimony.
Marc Kasowitz: “The president never, in form or substance, directed or suggested that Mr. Comey stop investigating anyone, including the president never suggested that Mr. Comey, quote, 'let Flynn go,' close quote.”
In a tweet early this morning, President Trump broke more than two days of Twitter silence, writing, “Despite so many false statements and lies, total and complete vindication…and WOW, Comey is a leaker!” For more on James Comey’s dramatic Senate testimony, we’ll host a roundtable discussion later in the broadcast.
