President Trump sat down for a one-on-one interview with Newsmax’s Rob Finnerty on Friday evening.
The two discussed the blockbuster Russiagate documents recently released by DNI Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe.
Senator Chuck Grassley on Thursday released the newly declassified annex from former special counsel John Durham’s report.
“The Durham annex contains previously classified information exposing a reported Clinton campaign plan to falsely tie President Donald Trump to Russia,” Grassley said.
According to the newly declassified documents, Hillary Clinton personally approved the Trump-Russia hoax just a few days before FBI counter-intelligence agent Peter Strzok opened Crossfire Hurricane on July 31, 2016 to distract from her private server scandal.
Hillary used a bogus dossier and conspired with foreigners and the FBI to spy on Trump’s 2016 campaign and presidency.
Rob Finnerty said to Trump, “These new email, Mr. President, suggest essentially that Hillary Clinton personally approved the Russia hoax.”
“With Obama,” President Trump interjected.
“My question is, is she finally going to pay for what she did? Or does she get a pass again?” Rob Finnerty asked Trump.
Trump responded, “So, you know, we had her – and I had her right under the sights and I told the people, look, you can’t do this to a president’s wife – ex-president and she was Secretary of State. If you remember, it was at a rally and it was after the election and they said, lock her up, lock her up! And I said, no, no, no. Look, we won. Just relax.”
“I totally let Hillary off the hook. And I let her off the hook for what? And then I come in and they did the same thing to me. The difference is they actually meant it. They hurt a lot of people. And it was all a hoax and now they have it in black and white. No, I think they should pay a price. A very big price,” Trump said to Newsmax host Rob Finnerty.
