<\/p>\nTrump Watched Manafort Turn Himself in on TV with \u2018Exasperation\u2019 and \u2018Disgust\u2019 \u2013 REPORT<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Donald Trump watched his former campaign manager Paul Manafort turn himself in to the FBI live<\/a> on cable news Monday morning, according to the Washington Post<\/em><\/a>:<\/p>\n Trump clicked on the television and spent the morning playing fuming media critic, legal analyst and crisis communications strategist, according to several people close to him.<\/p>\n The president digested the news of the first indictments in special counsel Robert S. Mueller III\u2019s probe with exasperation and disgust, these people said. He called his lawyers repeatedly. He listened intently to cable news commentary. And, with rising irritation, he watched live<\/a> footage of his onetime campaign adviser and confidant, Paul Manafort, turning himself in to the FBI.<\/p>\n The paper adds:<\/p>\n On Capitol Hill, meanwhile, some of Trump\u2019s allies are privately revving up their own version of a counterattack against Mueller. Several top Republican legislators plan to raise questions in the coming days about the FBI\u2019s handling of a \u201cdossier\u201d detailing alleged ties between Trump and Russian interests. They intend to argue that Mueller\u2019s team has become overly reliant on a document that was funded in part by Democrats, according to two people involved in the discussions. Mueller does not appear to have relied on the dossier for the cases revealed on Monday, however.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The post Trump Watched Manafort Turn Himself in on TV with \u2018Exasperation\u2019 and \u2018Disgust\u2019 \u2013 REPORT<\/a> appeared first on Towleroad<\/a>.<\/p>\n
