Congressman Paul Ryan of Janesville appears to be defending president Trumps behavior in regards to his interactions with former FBI Director James Comey.
The House Speaker says the president is “new at government”, and “he’s learning as he goes.” The Republican made the comments during his weekly press conference (Thursday), which happened in the middle of Comey’s testimony in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Ryan cited Trump’s lack of political experience when asked if it was appropriate for the president to ask the FBI director to “let it go” when it came to an investigation of Michael Flynn and to ask for Comey’s loyalty.
