Trump told the Wall Street Journal that he 'didn't like' the McCarthy tapes, but that he considered the House GOP leader's reversal 'a big compliment.'
In another clip, released Friday morning on CNN, McCarthy relayed to House Republicans that Trump had admitted he bore “some responsibility for what happened.”The clips and the reporting that coincided with their release are covered in the forthcoming book “This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America’s Future,” by New York Times reporters Alexander Burns and Jonathan Martin.
Sarah Longwell — a GOP strategist and founder of the anti-Trump Republican Accountability Project, which launched in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 attack — said Trump acolytes in Washington, such as Reps. Matt Gaetz of Florida and Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, might use the tapes to argue that McCarthy is insufficiently loyal.
McCarthy and other leaders, members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus and members who are retiring. Only two offices responded, though only one would do so on the record. “Republicans are going to take back the majority in November and when we do, Kevin McCarthy will be our Speaker,” Hinson tweeted.
Rep. Eric Swalwell suggested McCarthy should lose access to classified materials for lying, and said the GOP leader is a “highly relevant” witness for the Jan. 6 committee.
