'I was there... I didn't see any attempted coup... any conspiracy to commit a coup. There was nothing that was going on like that.' Former FBI General Counsel James Baker calls Pres. Trump's claim there was an attempted 'coup' preposterous.'
Washington President Donald Trump on Thursday called 2016 texts between former FBI officials evidence of an attempted"coup" after a news report showed they were discussing people inside the Trump administration who they could"develop for potential relationships."
And on Friday, he defended the remarks. Trump was responding to a Fox News report about the texts exchanged between former FBI lawyer Lisa Page and former FBI agent Peter Strzok.
