I don’t think he trust Bret but he has always taken on every foe AND he is being frozen out a lot on Fox. I think Trump viewed it as a twofer and any interview is a chance for free air time.
I was not surprised at the questions but the “panel” afterwards was brutal. How in the hell can so many smart people not see this whole “espionage” caper as the pile of steaming BS it is? Then they compound the stupidity by somehow making it “worse” that Trump had it but they excuse everyone else when Trump is the ONLY one covered by the Presidential Records Act AND the only one with absolute declassification authority!
It really is incredible.
His Judgment is awful, sometimes.
The only person defending Trump was Larry Kudlow. Brit Hume was obnoxious.
