Republicans push talking points brushing off legal perils of former top Trump associates
That’s the message the Republican National Committee sent to surrogates Wednesday in a series of talking points to deal with the aftershocks of the conviction of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, and guilty plea from Michael Cohen, the president’s former personal lawyer, on tax and campaign finance violations.
The notes, which were obtained by ABC News and are regularly sent out to Trump surrogates and defenders who do battle on the president’s behalf on cable news, closely mirror Trump’s reaction to Tuesday’s legal developments that could pose a growing threat to his presidency.
