Donald Trump and some of his closest advisers have developed a reputation over the past two years for saying things that are not backed by evidence and that sometimes conflict with their own previous accounts.
That’s one thing on the campaign trail or in a news interview. It’s another in congressional hearings and federal investigations like the ones looking at Russia’s involvement in the 2016 presidential campaign.
Trump’s firing of FBI Director James Comey has led to a blowup this week during which the president and his staff have offered multiple, contradictory explanations about what led to the director’s termination and how it unfolded. The timeline and description of events, conversations and motivations that has confounded the media could become issues at some point if the investigations expand to include the events of the past two weeks.
