Donald Trump is getting worried about impeachment, reports NBC News, and holy crap is this a story where you want more detail on what the unnamed sources are telling reporters. The reasons Trump might be worried are obvious and many: his longtime personal lawyer and fixer, Michael Cohen, being sentenced to three years in prison after implicating Trump in some of his crimes; the publisher of the National Enquirer admitting to paying hush money to keep Trump’s affairs secret. The list goes on.
But what is Trump saying to friends about all of this, and about his worries for himself? The reporters don’t even give us a direct quote of a source describing what Trump said to someone else:
Trump has ranted about why no one around him is doing anything to stop any of it and vented about the lack of support he believes he has in Congress and within his own White House, the sources tell NBC News.
Also, Trump “has in recent days been made aware” that prosecutors in the Southern District of New York could end up giving a report on their Cohen investigation that included details of Trump’s role in Cohen’s crimes.
It’s all so tantalizing, but for now details are scarce even if the mental imagery of a spittle-flecked, desperate Trump is easy to come by.
