Warner on Cohen Plea: These Characters Around Trump Don’t ‘Have Exactly a Sterling Record of Telling the Truth’

RUSH EXCERPT:

WARNER: “I’m not aware of that. Obviously, this was just a plea arrangement with Michael Cohen and clearly most of these characters who are around Donald Trump, none of them have exactly a sterling record of telling the truth.
TAPPER: “Right.”
WARNER: “But I’ve got to believe that special prosecutor has more details to come.”
TAPPER: “You said on Thursday it might not be a coincidence that Mueller waited to announce his plea until after he received written answers to his questions from President Trump. Are you suggesting that President Trump was less than truthful in his answers to Robert Mueller?”
WARNER: “I’m not suggesting anything. And I’m purely speculating, but I know there had been a four or five — three or four-month time out where Mueller didn’t take any action and it appeared he was waiting to get the president’s written responses before he took or at least announce this had Cohen plea. That’s pure speculation. Obviously with this White House, that seems to not be able to go a day without a factual inaccuracy or failing to tell the truth, anything is up for grabs."
