Toobin to Carl Bernstein on McConnell, McCarthy Turning Against Trump: ‘Don’t Hold Your Breath,’ ‘They’ve Made Their Peace’ with Him

‘They have decided to make their peace with Donald Trump’

EXCERPT:


TOOBIN: "Can I just say four words? Don't hold your breath for those folks turning on him."

COOPER: "Yeah — "

TOOBIN: "I see the opposite."

BERNSTEIN: "Right."

TOOBIN: "They have decided to make their peace with Donald Trump. And McCarthy, all he wants to do is be Speaker and he knows the route is 'Don't make Donald Trump angry.'"

BERNSTEIN: "It's more complicated than that, I think. And we'll see in the coming days. But you're right, Jeff, that this is a very difficult thing for McConnell or McCarthy to do. At the same time, they know the cards are falling a very different way than they thought at the beginning of this investigation."
