For the first presser question, Trump calls upon OANN. He& #39;s asked about the impeachment hearing, which he proceeds to trash as "the witch hunt" and "a sham." He then falsely claims that the whistleblower& #39;s complaint is mistaken, when in fact it has been broadly corroborated.
Trump takes a question from a Turkish "reporter" who trashes Obama and characterizes the PKK as a "terrorist organization." Trump dissembles in response.
Trump takes a question from Fox News& #39; John Roberts, who asks about Taylor& #39;s new revelation today that a staffer overheard Trump talking about "investigations" on the phone with Sondland. Trump pleads ignorance.
Erdogan is fixated on Gulen, who he has repeatedly called a "terrorist." He& #39;s upset that he& #39;s being allowed to live in the US.
And it& #39;s over. Trump took a total of 2 questions from American reporters -- one from Fox News and one from OANN. He& #39;s fully retreated to his safe space.
