    His lawyer is as bad as liar as he is. And Fox News is now fake news, I'm sure. Chris Wallace absolutely owned this guy. Whatever Trump paid him for this performance, he didn't get his money's worth.

    Fox News anchor Chris Wallace grilled an attorney for President Donald Trump over the Russia investigation and the president's seeming acknowledgement that he was under investigation for potential obstruction of justice by firing former FBI Director James Comey.

    In a heated interview on "Fox News Sunday," Trump attorney Jay Sekulow insisted —     as he did on the other Sunday political talk shows — that the president was not under criminal investigation, despite reporting from The Washington Post and the president's own tweet that suggested he was a target of the investigation.

    The interview became lively when Sekulow seemed to contradict himself, suggesting that Trump was under investigation after firing Comey on the recommendations of the attorney general and deputy attorney general.

    Trump wasn't suggesting bebis under jnvestigation he was commenting on the unsubstantiated reporting of the WaPo as Sekulow kept saying.

    Trump said, "I am being investigated for firing the FBI Director by the man who told me to fire the FBI Director! Witch Hunt"

    He did not link the report, cite the report, or call the report fake news.

    And then Sekulow contradicted himself, multiple times.

    I always watch the Chris Wallace show Sundays on Fox, he's the top host an any network IMO. Brian Williams on MSNBC is right there with him.

    Wallace had Trump's man lost in outer space. ;)

    Just the facts. The WaPo was reporting it, he commented in it as he routinely does.

    Ya I caught some of it, basically Wallace was trying to lead Jay Sekulow in to a gotcha and Jay out played Wallace. At the end Wallace was basically staring like a deer in the headlights, not his best moment really, then again it seems to have found an audience :)

    Correct. Trump was responding to the WaPo's latest Fake News report. Worked like a charm.

    Wallace needs to hire better researchers. I was embarrassed for him.

    After a weeks worth of news I do my best to avoid it on Sunday.
    Wallace is a good guy overall, not the prettiest fellow but he does a good job.

    I did always like Williams and I kind of wish he didn't get fired for exaggerating that report, I watched nbc nightly news all the time when he was on but Lester didn't do it for me and I switched to CBS evening after the firing.

    Brian is also an excellent rapper.

    Nope, he commented on an unsubstantiated report he was.

    Yes in response to the WaPo article stating he is under investigation for obstruction of justice.................what are you having difficulty comprehending here? He was making light of the story that they published.

    Wouldn't be surprised if college dropout Hannity told the doofus-in-chief to hire this not-ready-for-prime-time right-wing hack Sekulow.

    Hilarious watching Wallace make him look like a dumb chimp...
