@MeetThePress @NBCNews @PhilipRucker @costareports @KenDilanianNBC And Trump's political advisers are also keenly aware that early voting has started in some battleground states. They would like him to pivot to being more on offense. So far we haven't seen him make that shift.

Carol Lee
1 month ago: Thursday Sep 10 - 2:40pm
@MeetThePress @NBCNews @PhilipRucker @costareports But our reporting shows the president wanted to do it because he didn’t cooperate with Woodward's first book on the Trump presidency – Fear – and didn’t like it. So he thought he’d be able to shape this one more in his favor if he talked to him. That hasn’t really worked out…
Carol Lee

@MeetThePress @NBCNews @PhilipRucker @costareports Now there’s a lot of finger-pointing behind the scenes in the White House.

@MeetThePress @NBCNews @PhilipRucker @costareports @KenDilanianNBC And Trump's political advisers are also keenly aware that early voting has started in some battleground states. They would like him to pivot to being more on offense. So far we haven't seen him make that shift.

Carol Lee
1 month ago: Thursday Sep 10 - 2:40pm
@MeetThePress @NBCNews @PhilipRucker @costareports But our reporting shows the president wanted to do it because he didn’t cooperate with Woodward's first book on the Trump presidency – Fear – and didn’t like it. So he thought he’d be able to shape this one more in his favor if he talked to him. That hasn’t really worked out…
Carol Lee
1 month ago: Thursday Sep 10 - 2:39pm
@MeetThePress @NBCNews @PhilipRucker @costareports Now there’s a lot of finger-pointing behind the scenes in the White House.
