National security advisor H.R. McMaster didn’t deny the NYT report that Trump called Comey a “nutjob” to the Russians while admitting it was to ease the pressure on the Russian investigation, instead seemed to deflect from the question.
Watch below:

I really feel bad for McMaster. He’s just the next in line to have his reputation chewed up in the Trump trash compactor because the president can’t control his emotions. Meanwhile, his more rabid followers are screaming “fake news” on social media – if it’s fake why won’t they deny it? SAD!
