Earlier today we noted that CNN, and its anonymous sources, seemingly made a ‘mistake’ by reporting that Comey would offer testimony to the Senate Intelligence Committee tomorrow refuting Trump’s prior claims that he had been told on three separate occasions by the former FBI Director that he was not personally under investigation. Unfortunately, at least for CNN, Comey’s opening comments released earlier today confirmed that Trump’s original statements were, in fact, perfectly accurate (see “Looks Like CNN’s Anonymous Sources Got This One Wrong“).
Marc Kasowitz, the lawyer representing President Trump in the Russia probe, has now released Trump’s thoughts on Comey’s opening statements saying he feels “completely and totally vindicated.”
“The president is pleased that Mr. Comey has finally publicly confirmed his private reports that the President was not under investigation in any Russia probe. The President feels completely and totally vindicated. He is eager to continue to move forward with his agenda.”
