House Speaker Paul Ryan offered a partial defense Thursday of President Trump’s repeated contacts with former FBI director James Comey, suggesting that Trump was so “new at government” he didn’t appreciate the traditional distance a president keeps from FBI investigations.
“Of course, there needs to be a degree of independence between DOJ (Department of Justice), the FBI and a White House, and a line of communications established,” said Ryan, but “the president’s new at this...He's learning as he goes.”
