The president did not make specific reference to Comey. A White House spokeswoman said it was ‘a regular Thursday’ and was unsure if Trump watched the hearing
At the same time as former FBI Director James Comey’s was testifying before Congress, President Donald Trump said he and his supporters “are under siege.”
While the dramatic hearing was still under way, Trump spoke at a conference of evangelical Christians at a Washington hotel.
“We’ re under siege, you understand that, ” Trump told the supportive audience. “But we will come out bigger and better and stronger than ever.”
The president did not make specific reference to Comey, who says Trump tried to get him to pledge loyalty and drop an investigation into potential collusion with Russia by his campaign aides.
At the White House, spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said it was “a regular Thursday, ” adding that “we’ re carrying on.” She said she didn’ t know if Trump watched the hearing, saying he spent most of his morning meeting with his top foreign policy advisers.
