Ex-Trump White House Attorney Explains Trump's Big New 'F**k You To America'
HuffPost
Ty Cobb slammed his former boss for a "contemptuous" new move.
Ty Cobb, who served as a White House attorney to Donald Trump, slammed his former boss for nominating Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) for attorney general.
CNN’s Erin Burnett quoted Cobb as calling Gaetz’s selection a “fuck you to America.” Cobb said he used those words because Gaetz is unqualified “academically, professionally, ethically, morally and experientially.”
“He has no business being in this conversation,” he said, adding that the selection was “not serious” and “contemptuous.”
Cobb recalled seeing Gaetz while he was working in the White House during the Russia investigation in 2017 and 2018.
