Trump news – President backs protesters who harassed reporter, after firing watchdog investigating Pompeo

With the president in Camp David for the weekend and no official engagements on his agenda, he took the opportunity to spend much of the day on Twitter.

After retweeting his several of his followers (and himself) this morning, he also took time to ominously threaten government action to “remedy” the command and control of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Google by “the radical left”. He also described protesters filmed harassing a reporter as “Great people!”

Meanwhile, Senator Bob Menendez and Representative Eliot Engel have launched an investigation into Trump’s late night firing of the Steve Linick, the State Department Inspector General. They have requested that both the White House and State Department preserve and produce all records related to the matter for their respective Senate and House foreign affairs committees.

The president also spent time trying to recruit support for his Obamagate theory, specifically from senior Senate Republicans. Citing an article in The Federalist that predicts the party will lose both the White House and the Senate in November if it doesn’t fully address the Russia ‘hoax’, Trump’s tweets were directed at both Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham.
