RNC chair defends Trump asking top FBI official how he voted | Droolin Dog dot Net

Republican National Committee chair Ronna Romney McDaniel on Wednesday defended President Donald Trump for asking then-acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe last year how he voted in the 2016 presidential election, saying the president was just trying to get to know him. “I ask people who they vote for sometimes,” McDaniel said on CNN’s New Day. “I think it is just trying to get to know somebody.” The Washington Post reported Tuesday that Trump asked McCabe about his vote in May during a “get-to-know-you” meeting. McCabe became acting director after the president fired former FBI Director James Comey. McCabe told Trump he didn’t vote. McDaniel said that Trump was just being conversational and that he doesn’t demand that information from everyone in government. “He is certainly not going around to every single FBI agent and saying, ‘Did you vote for me?'” McDaniel said. “I mean, this is a president who’s just getting to know people, and that’s part of those conversations.” Source: https://www.politico.com/story/2018/01/24/trump-andrew-mccabe-fbi-vote-364627 Tags: *Headlines*, #Headlines, #TheNewz, news, #TopNews, #Trending
