For 24 hours last week, Trey Gowdy, the former South Carolina congressman best known for leading congressional investigations of Hillary Clinton, was the new face of President Donald Trump’s outside legal defense and a symbol of a streamlined effort to respond to a fast-moving impeachment inquiry.
But by Wednesday evening, aides were distancing themselves from the bungled personnel maneuver, which was made public before all the usual procedural boxes had been checked. Several pointed fingers at Mick Mulvaney, the acting White House chief of staff, suggesting he had botched the rollout. Story continuesAs Mulvaney pushed for Gowdy, a former House colleague and fellow South Carolinian, he swatted away questions from several aides about whether Gowdy would be curtailed in his role by lobbying regulations. Both men assured people that there would be no problem, according to the people briefed on what took place.
Before Gowdy could be added, however, Trump needed to meet with him. So the two sat down for lunch at the White House on Tuesday; Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, joined them for part of the meal. On Wednesday, Trump’s personal lawyers worked on a letter for Gowdy to sign to cement their agreement. Around 8 p.m. they released a statement announcing that Gowdy was formally on board.
“Trey Gowdy is a terrific guy,” Trump told reporters on Thursday, on his way to a campaign rally in Minneapolis, breaking the news himself. “He can’t start for another couple of months because of lobbying rules and regulations. So you’ll have to ask about that.
Not botched. A warning to the democrats of what is to come. But of course. this is a PROPAGANDA headline provide by the arm of the democratic party: YahooNews.
Bawahahaha, they can’t even get Gowdy right
What is the most disappointing news to me is that TREY GOWDY even considered the offer. I look at him entirely differently now, sadly a lawyer will do anything for prestige and power. Tim Scott would never have done this! TGowdySC SenatorTimScott
Where will he go to gaslight us?
Wait how is he paid when hes an active elected member of congress This needs to stop for EVERY ELECTED OFFICIAL
He would have been a MOCKERY all over television anyway.
