President says holding the hearing while he was overseas “may have contributed to the ‘walk.’ ”
By Seung Min Kim Seung Min Kim White House reporter Email Bio Follow March 3 at 9:56 PM President Trump on Sunday blamed the congressional testimony of Michael Cohen, his former personal lawyer and fixer, for the collapse in negotiations with North Korea over its nuclear program last week — continuing to vent about the investigations encircling him and his associates.
The testimony unfolded as Trump had traveled to Hanoi to try to forge a deal with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un over curbing his country’s nuclear program. “For the Democrats to interview in open hearings a convicted liar & fraudster, at the same time as the very important Nuclear Summit with North Korea, is perhaps a new low in American politics and may have contributed to the ‘walk,’ ” he tweeted. “Never done when a president is overseas. Shame!”The House Oversight Committee, chaired by Rep. Elijah E.
Some of Trump’s closest allies similarly criticized Democrats for holding a hearing with Cohen while the president was overseas. Sen. Lindsey O. Graham called the scheduling a “new low” and accused Democrats’ “hatred of Trump” of undercutting the nuclear talks.
