Lawyers May Start Vetting Trump’s Tweets In Advance

CNBC reports:

The White House is considering having a team of lawyers approve Donald Trump’s tweets, The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing an advisor to the president. Although the idea is under consideration, Trump aides told the Journal that such a procedure would be hard to put in place.

If implemented, the move would certainly lift a burden on the White House press office, which often finds itself trying to explain why Trump’s tweets diverge so sharply from the tightly crafted official statements. Trump has tweeted that his “active” presidency means that “it is not possible for my surrogates to stand at podium with perfect accuracy.”
