Maggie Haberman Reveals Trump's 'Very Clear' Desire Amid Signal Scandal
HuffPost
The New York Times journalist said the group chat story isn't "going away" despite the president's attempts to push "a number of other issues."
The New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman on Thursday revealed how President Donald Trump has been “very clear” as to why he doesn’t want to fire officials linked to the group chat used to detail U.S. strikes in Yemen.
Haberman, citing sources familiar with Trump, told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins that the president would see such terminations “as giving in to the media.”
“People around him see that as weak and I think you will hear that for a while,” said Haberman, a CNN political analyst.
“Whether this is sustainable for them is another story.”
Haberman’s comments arrive on the same day that U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg — who recently saw the president call for his impeachment following an order to block Trump officials from carrying out deportation flights — ordered the Trump administration to preserve records of the Signal chat.
