Deny, divert, discredit: President Trump turns to his scandal playbook once again.
Trump denied knowing who the whistleblower is or the date of the conversation in question — but said he never did anything wrong anyway."It was a totally appropriate conversation, it was actually a beautiful conversation," Trump told reporters.
It was the same pattern of defense Trump used when media reports came out about a meeting arranged between his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., and a Russian lawyer, whom he believed had"dirt" on Hillary Clinton. Throughout the Russia investigation, Trump and his allies sought to discredit any findings saying they were a politically motivated"witch hunt," accusing Robert Mueller's investigators of being"angry Democrats." White House lawyers have since stonewalled subpoenas by House Democrats into the Trump campaign's connections with Russia.
It was a pattern he also followed when reports came out that Trump paid hush money to adult film actress Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about an affair days before the election.
