WASHINGTON (AP) Facing the prospect of an electoral defeat that could imperil his presidency, President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he wont accept the blame if Republicans lose the House in November, arguing that he is helping Republican candidates in the midterms.
In a wide-ranging interview with The Associated Press, Trump also accused his longtime personal attorney Michael Cohen of lying under oath, defended his use of the derisive nickname Horseface for porn actress Stormy Daniels and argued that the widespread condemnation of the Saudis in the disappearance of a Washington Post columnist was a rush to judgment.
Of his efforts on the campaign trail, Trump said: I dont believe anybody has ever had this kind of impact. He resisted comparisons to former President Barack Obama, who took responsibility for the Democrats defeat in 2010 by acknowledging that his party got shellacked.
Democrats are hopeful about their chances to recapture the House, while Republicans are increasingly confident they can hold control of the Senate. If Democrats take the House and pursue impeachment or investigations including seeking his long-hidden tax returns Trump said he will handle it very well.
