President Trump left most of America wondering what he'll say next after an impromptu interview with the New York Times. Philip Wegmann, Commentary Writer for the Washington Examiner joins Cheddar to give his thoughts on the President's statement regarding the Russia probe.
Wegmann says that the one thing he found most fascinating was that Trump said the special counsel investigation was actually good for him. He wants to use it as a rallying moment for his base ahead of 2018. The one thing Trump fears is Democratic control over Congress.
