Peter Baker: The Walls Are Closing In’ on Trump

‘He knows all these people who flip to save themselves before federal or state charges’

EXCERPT:

BAKER: “Yeah, it absolutely evokes sort of the memories of Nixon during Watergate talking to the paintings. President sort of caught alone in his house, late at night, stewing over the troubles that have beset him, wondering what way out, you know. It’s very evocative and it does suggest someone who is stewing and very consumed with the troubles that are afflicting people around him and really kind of walls closing in on him. Some day there will be a tell-all book that will give us a little bit of a better picture of last night. Last night could be the opening scene of the book. It sounds very, very dramatic.”
