reporter, new york times number one best selling author, maggie haberman. congratulations, maggie. what are you hearing about how trump is responding to all this abysmal news that played out for him today. a couple things, jake, because he doesn t tend to process these kinds of legal actions the way other people might, working backwards, the revelations by his committee. most of his folks are slothing them off because they re trying to say it s old news and not surprising n. terms of the subpoena for him, that is one of the things that has animated him. he s been talking to advisers about how he would consider testifying if they would air it live, which is also not surprising. it seems hard to imagine the committee would go for that. what he is very focused on right now is the other investigations that could lead to criminal charges. that is where much of his energy is focused. for whatever reason, he is very focused on this lawsuit that s coming up next week, where he has to be de
