GOP Senator Orrin Hatch Says He Doesn't Care if Trump Was 'Involved in Crimes'

Orrin Hatch is the longest-serving Republican in the U.S. Senate. Hatch, in his own words, doesn’t care if President Donald Trump broke the law.

CNN’s Manu Raju caught up with Hatch late Monday afternoon and asked Utah’s senior senator about the Friday news that prosecutors in the Southern District of New York (SDNY) had determined Trump directed his longtime attorney and fixer Michael Cohen to commit campaign finance violations.

“I don’t care; all I can say is he’s doing a good job as President. The Democrats will do anything to hurt this president,” the senator said.

Democrats have nothing to do with the SDNY’s prosecution of Cohen or what they’ve alleged against Trump during the course of said prosecution.
That ongoing investigation is being undertaken by career prosecutors in the Manhattan U.S. Attorneys office–an office currently controlled by a Republican appointee who was installed by President Trump himself.

This information was relayed to Hatch. He was still unmoved. “I don’t care”

Orin. His trail of deceit and distrust is long and wide. The fellow is as phony as a three dollar bill.
