The president rambled for more than two hours from the stage at the annual gathering of conservatives. One topic he avoided: Michael Cohen’s explosive testimony against him.
President Donald Trump has had a fiasco of a week. His former lawyer called him “a racist,” “a conman,” and “a cheat” in explosive testimony before Congress. Trump walked away empty-handed from a bizarre summit with Kim Jong-Un. And then it got weirder. He went to CPAC.
Trump took the stage for nearly two hours at the Conservative Political Action Conference, an annual gathering of conservative politicians, celebrities, and pundits in Washington, D. C. He never once mentioned Cohen during his marathon remarks—and he only brought up the failed denuclearization talks in Hanoi as he approached the two-hour mark of a speech that made last fall’s campaign rallies seem highly scripted.
