Though this is one of the more extreme reactions, it’s in keeping with the administration’s tactic to use Attorney General William Barr’s summary to claim total exoneration for the President. Yet, the letter doesn’t fully exonerate Trump and the administration has still not seen the full report.
The White House has also been doubling down on its attacks on journalists, insisting that networks employ “basic journalistic standards” and either ban or question Democrats who have voiced opinions about evidence of the Trump campaign’s contacts with Russian actors during the campaign.
