Him through this committee for eight months. So i think following proceed sure is something that you have to look at because your idea is not really point of order. The time has expired. If he wishes. He doesnt wish. Good morning, mr mr. Lewandowski. Im questioning you right now. Thank you. The president asked you who had no role at all in the white house to deliver that message to Attorney General sessions. The president could have just picked up the phone himself at any time and called the Attorney General. The president also had a full staff of executive employees right down the hall. So this made me wonder. The president thought what he was doing was legal, why didnt he just pick up the phone and
call Attorney General sessions, or why not ask any member of his staff who worked right down the hall to deliver a message . It is clear to me that the reason he went to you, mr. Lewandowski, is because everyone said no. So i want to ask you about that. Two days before meeting you, the pre
attorney general sessions, or why not ask any member of his staff who worked right down the hall to deliver a message? it is clear to me that the reason he went to you, mr. lewandowski, is because everyone said, no. i want to ask you about that. two days before meeting you the president had called white house counsel mcgann at home on a saturday to fire the special counsel saying, and you can see that on the screen, mueller has to go. call me back when you do it. plain and simple. but mcgann refused. when the president asked you to deliver that message, did he, the president, tell you that two days before your meeting his white house counsel had refuses to fire the special counsel, volume 11 86 you ll find that language. volume 2. when the president asked you did you hear the question?
deliver a message to sessions? i m respecting the executive branch privilege of confidentiality and recognize at this time let me just say that you knew, that you know the president was putting you at risk when he asked you to deliver a message to the attorney general. i want to be very clear. the president knew what he was doing was wrong, because everyone else had already said no. he called his white house counsel to fire the special counsel, mcgann said no. called the attorney general to ask him to unrecuse himself from the special counsel s investigation. sessions said no. his white house counsel said there s to be no contact with sessions because of his recusal. so what does the president do? que calls you in to do what everyone else wouldn t do, in secret, because he knew had was wrong. we will explodes the truth that the president cannot hide behind you any longer and should be here to tell the truth, because the truth will set you free and the american people. i yield bac
trump s army there were only loyal soldiers. there were no more loyal soldiers. your previous boss was convicted of corruption and lying to authorities in the abram scandal and you fired after being accused voter fraud and now involved in this. either you were willing to break the law for politics and mr. trump or you re some kind of a for evide forrest gump relating to corruption. did the president pick you as enforcer to play whatever role he wanted because you can illegal and why he chose you to take the message to sessions? that would be a question for the president. donald trump was right, though. first the white house counsel, don mcgahn refused to fire the special counsel. mr. mcgann showed principle and character refusing to do what he knew would be weren t illegal panting and then attorney general sessions asked to unrecuse himself but he also did the right thing and said i m not
going to unrecuse myself because i have a conflict. i was involved in the campaign and knew things. can t do it. then the white house counsel advised the president not even to contact sessions. but you his loyal soldier would do it. you were different than sessions and mcgann. trump could depend on you. you did note ask questions, a loyal soldier wrote down the message and agreed to deliver it. gave it to hope hickss, asked her to type it up, not that you couldn t have done i m sure and asked somebody else to deliver the message to sessions when you decided not to. donald trump talked to you outside normal channels so no record of anything he asked you to do obstruct justice. the president knew what he was doing was wrong, mr. sessions knew it, mr. mcgann knew it you seem to be the only person who didn t think was wrong, but mr. trump was wrong. at the last minute you got cold feet. you chickened out. the president s trust was
