Maggie Haberman: Trump Was Unsettled by Mueller on TV Because He Hasn’t Read the Report

‘Do you think the president has read the report?’

EXCERPT:

HABERMAN: “Do you think the president has read the report? Because I do not. So I think that when he hears Mueller say that on TV, again, him interpreting everything through the screen that is in front of him, I think that that had much more resonance than almost anything else that has happened, in part because Bill Barr delivered a letter and then went on television himself, at an actual news conference, sort of, and said, you know, this was not a crime, he used the president’s own language, talked about collusion, which is not actually a criminal thing, and this was essentially the President’s P.R. language. So I think that the President had felt pretty good about that. And then I think he saw Mueller in the box and I think that that spooked him.”
