Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) pointed to texts exchanged between two FBI officials involved in the probe of Russian election interference.
By John Wagner John Wagner National reporter leading The Post's breaking political news team Email Bio Follow May 2 at 10:40 AM House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said Thursday that he agrees with President Trump’s assessment that he was the subject of an attempted “coup” during the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election.
“Their actions are a coup,” McCarthy told post reporter Robert Costa, who pressed the top Republican in the House on whether he believed the word “coup” was appropriate. “It was started illegally. Everything about it was crooked,” Trump told reporters. “This was an attempted coup. This was an attempted takedown of a president, and we beat them. We beat them.”
Among the more damaging texts that emerged was one in which Strzok assured Page in August 2016 that “we’ll stop” Trump from making it to the White House. Both were later removed from the investigation.
