Hatch dismisses allegations of Trump crimes over hush money.— Manu Raju (@mkraju) December 10, 2018
Asked if he had any concerns, Hatch said: “The Democrats will do anything to hurt this president.” Told it was alleged by SDNY, Hatch told me: “Okay but I don’t care; all I can say is he’s doing a good job as President”
UPDATE: The Republican party- before- country hacks like those above might want to read the letter in today's WaPo by 44 former Democratic and Republican senators basically telling them to grow a spine.
