    True, but these are not the words of innocent men.

    Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung told Newsweek in a Saturday email that it is “unprofessional” to ask if the binder was sold to Russia. “What proof do you have?” he asked.

      It sounds like Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung also has no clue, but he’s seen this one enough times to know that his outright denial would probably be contradicted by Trump within the week.

      It sounds like this story originated with Trump to create a fake news story to distract from the real news of his court cases.

      I don’t think a spokesman would know one way or another.

      It’s depressing that question is also applicable to the Biden impeachment hearings.

        It’s applicable, but it’s also not being used because Biden didn’t do anything. You don’t say it’s unprofessional to ask the question and then ask what proof do you have, especially as a spokesperson. It’s ‘how to be ridiculous and look like you did it 101’.
