President Trump takes his seat during a meeting with the House and Senate leadership in the White House Tuesday. (Jabin Botsford/The Washington Post)Alone in the White House in recent days, President Trump — frustrated and defiant — has been spoiling for a fight, according to his confidants and associates. “The president’s going to have a very, very busy day,” White House press secretary Sean Spicer said. Attempting to invoke executive privilege to restrict Comey’s testimony was never seriously considered by Trump or his legal team, said one senior White House official. Conversations about former Trump campaign official David Urban possibly joining the White House have stalled, although he remains in contact with several Trump advisers, officials said.
