The classified meeting with the FBI for the Gang of 8 that took place Thursday did include President Donald Trumps attorney Emmet Flood, but he was not present during the classified portion of the briefing, according to CNNs Jake Tapper.
Tapper said that he spoke with a Republican congressional staffer, who revealed Flood being in the meeting was the craziest sh*t I have ever heard.

Flood was sent out of the room during the classified briefing, but he was there at the beginning of both meetings. Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders had said that no White House staff would be present at this meeting.

Neither Chief Kelly nor Mr. Flood actually attended the meetings but did make brief remarks before the meetings started to relay the Presidents desire for as much openness as possible, the White House said in a statement.

(15,805 posts)What does Trump get out of having Flood there when he wasn't allowed to actually see the classified briefing? Was it a PR stunt, something that Trump can spin out for days and spread more lies on Fox? Was he trying to intimidate or rattle everyone?
