Top aides persuaded Trump to be quiet on Twitter during Comey testimony: report
By Max Greenwood - 06/08/17 09:21 PM EDT President Trump's top aides and personal lawyer convinced him not to chime in on Twitter during former FBI Director James Comey's congressional testimony on Thursday, The Washington Post reported.
In the run up to the highly anticipated Senate Intelligence Committee hearing, speculation swirled as to how Trump might respond. But the president remained silent on Twitter – his preferred medium – Thursday morning and throughout Comey's nearly three hour public testimony.
Instead, his response came from his attorney Marc Kasowitz, whom Trump hired last month to help him navigate the controversies and potential legal threats of the FBI's investigation into Russian election meddling.
