Pres. Trump lashes out at whistleblower and Democrats after hearing: 'It's a disgrace to our country.'
President Donald Trump spent much of his time at the annual United Nations General Assembly in New York fielding questions about a whistleblower complaint. A day later, he lashed out Democrats, the secret whistleblower and the press -- behind closed doors and in front of the camera.
The president, speaking to reporters, suggested he may consider legal avenues to block Democrats on Capitol Hill. Not long after the hearing with Joseph Maguire, acting director of National Intelligence, ended on Capitol Hill, the president attacked it as a"disgrace" and a"witch hunt."When Marine One touched down on the South Lawn on Thursday, the president made a beeline to cheering supporters and ignored questions shouted by media members. In the past, the president has often been defiant in the face of controversies and appeared eager to spar with reporters' questions.
