Trump’s Bad Week: One-By-One The President’s Men Turn Against Him

WASHINGTON (AP) — On one of the worst days of his presidency, Donald Trump was chatting aboard Air Force One when the conversation took a detour into gallows humor.

Out of self-preservation, a desire to keep an accurate record, a lack of trust—or some combination of the three—everyone from former FBI Di...

CFO Allen Weisselberg was a “bookkeeper who simply carries out directions from others,” Trump Organization attorney Alan Garten said. But that characterization of Weisselberg is belied by years of reporting, court documents and even Trump’s own words. “Allen has been...
