What were learning, even today, is that people that I call the formers former White House chief of staff Reince Priebus, former White House spokesman Sean Spicer, former interim National Security Advisor Keith Kellogg are all voluntarily working with or being interviewed by the Mueller team, Figliuzzi explained.
This is a sign that hes penetrated into the White House, Figliuzzi noted. These are the people who were savvy, in meetings, privy to knowledge. For example, Reince Priebus was White House chief of staff when Trump decided to fire FBI Director James Comey. What does he know about that?
As damaging as former staffers may be, Figliuzzi explained that Trump may have more to fear from his current communications director.
But let me tell you something, the appearance of Hope Hicks and the likelihood shes about to be interviewed when she returns from a foreign trip with the president should worry President Trump perhaps more than anyone else, Figliuzzi noted.
Why? All of the people we just named are formers. They dont have this lovefest with the president, they in fact have issues with the president, Figliuzzi observed. Hope Hicks has been with Trump and the Trump Organization since 2014. Shes a 29-year-old young lady, shes about to undergo the most stressful part of her life, being interviewed by the special counsel team. She sits in the most sensitive meetings, the most critical media interviews the president has.
