Outgoing Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) told reporters he doesnt really care about President Trumps possible new legal troubles.
Theres been a new round questions about Trumps legal exposure in the last few days, thanks to Robert Muellers memos and the the Federal investigators who implicated the president in connection with Michael Cohens campaign finance lawbreaking. But Hatch, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, reportedly told CNNs Manu Raju that he doesnt care about Trumps alleged crimes and doesnt think the president was actually involved in Cohens hush money payments on his behalf.

Hatch went on to suggest Trumps alleged wrongdoing from before he became president holds no bearing on the present.

The counterargument among critics is that Trump supposedly ordered his personal lawyer to break the law in order to help secure his victory in the 2016 election.

I thought the same thing--Hatch is not informed and/or he is choosing to put on blinders.
