President Trump took to Twitter on Friday to try to undercut House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.) and complain about media coverage of ongoing investigations into possible coordination between his 2016 campaign and Russia. Spokesmen for Schiff and Simpson described the meeting as unplanned and brief and said nothing substantive was discussed — explanations Solomon suggests in his piece that he doesn’t believe. “Now we find out that Adam Schiff was spending time together in Aspen with Glenn Simpson of GPS Fusion, who wrote the fake and discredited Dossier, even though Simpson was testifying before Schiff,” Trump wrote in one of his tweets. In other tweets Friday, Trump complained that the media had not devoted more attention to comments made in a CBS interview this week by Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr (R-N.C.). Someday the Fake News Media will turn honest & report that Donald J. Trump was actually a GREAT Candidate!
