One of the legendary journalists who helped uncover the Watergate scandal explained today that President Donald Trumps mental fitness and stability are important parts of the story when it comes to a possible coverup regarding Trump/Russia collusion. At the same time, he acknowledged that these subjects are extremely difficult for reporters to cover.
Appearing on CNNs Reliable Sources this morning, political analyst and Washington Post veteran Carl Bernstein pointed out that we are now hearing conservative commentators questioning the stability of Trump, noting that this is unheard of. He went on to say why this is so important right now.
Republicans on Capitol Hill, the Republicans during Watergate were heroic, he told host Brian Stelter. They are the ones who said, What did the president know and when did he know it? They investigated and investigated and voted for his impeachment because they were willing to see the truth served.
Stating that we have yet to see GOPers on the Hill go this far yet, Bernstein pointed out that privately, they doubt the presidents stability and fitness for office.
