This cracks me up. The AP headline is that Trump scheduled a speech during Comey’s Senate testimony.
But check out the actual times:
- Comey’s testimony starts at 7am
- Trump’s speech starts at 9:30pm
That’s 14.5 hours later. Will Comey (and the Senate!) still be going after 14.5 hours? After midnight East Coast time?
President Donald Trump has scheduled a speech addressing religious conservatives around the same time that former FBI director James Comey is expected to testify before Congress.
The Faith and Freedom Coalition’s “Road to Majority” conference announced Tuesday that the president had agreed to address the annual gathering Thursday.
Faith and Freedom spokesman Lance Lemmonds says the president is expected to speak at 9:30 p.m. PDT.
Comey is scheduled to testify Thursday before the Senate intelligence committee beginning at 7 a.m. PDT that day.
