Sen. Hatch regrets 'I don't care' remark about allegations Trump directed his former lawyer's hush [View all]
Washington • Sen. Orrin Hatch on Friday walked back comments he made earlier this week defending President Donald Trump of allegations he was tied in court documents to charges against Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen.
After Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison and court papers showed Cohen identified “Individual 1” – Trump – as directing his actions, Hatch essentially shrugged it off saying Trump is a good president and the economy is doing well.
"The Democrats will do anything to hurt this president," he told CNN. "What happened before he was elected president is one thing, but since he’s been elected the economy’s done well, our country is moving ahead. We’re in better shape than when we were before he became president. And I think we ought to judge him on that basis."
After CNN’s Manu Raju pointed out it wasn’t Democrats, but federal prosecutors making the allegations about Trump, Hatch responded, "I don’t care, all I can say is he’s doing a good job as president.”

Too little, too late Orrin.
