Fireworks: Chris Wallace, Trump Lawyer Have Heated Confrontation Over Investigation

An interview between Trump Lawyer Jay Sekulow and Fox News Host Chris Wallace quickly devolved into chaos this week.

Here’s just a snippet of the 10-minute-long confrontation:

SEKULO: So [Trump’s] being investigated for taking the action that the attorney general and deputy attorney general recommended him to take by the agency who recommended the termination. So that’s the constitutional threshold question here. That’s why, as I said, no investigation —

WALLACE: Well, I — what — what — what’s the question (INAUDIBLE). I mean you — you stated — you stated some facts. First of all, you’ve now said that he is getting investigated after saying that you didn’t.

SEKULOW: No.

WALLACE: You — you just, sir, that he’s being —

SEKULOW: No, he’s not being investigated!

WALLACE: You just said that he’s being investigated.

SEKULOW: No, Chris, I said that the — any — let me be crystal clear so you — you completely understand. We have not received nor are we aware of any investigation of the president of the United States, period.

WALLACE: Sir, you just said two times that he’s being investigated.

SEKULOW: No. The context of the tweet, I just gave you the legal theory, Chris, of how the Constitution works. If, in fact, it was correct that the president was being investigated, he would be investigating for taking action that an agency told him to take. So that is protected under the Constitution as his article one power. That’s all I said. So I appreciate you trying to rephrase it, but I’m just being really direct with you, Chris. This is — let me be —

WALLACE: No, I — I — sir, I didn’t rephrase it. The tape will speak — Jay, the tape will speak for itself. You said he is being investigated. And it’s not that big —

SEKULOW: Chris, he is — just — no, Chris — that’s (INAUDIBLE) unfair, Chris.

Wallace eventually ended the interview by claiming, “Oh, boy, this is weird” before suggesting that, next time, he and Sekulow meet in-studio in order to “stay on the same wavelength.”
