A day after President Donald Trump was cleared of Russian election collusion, White House officials responded with a mixture of ecstatic relief — and plans for revenge
.
“My phone is being lit up by current and former White House staff who were… elated and feeling vindicated,” a former White House official told POLITICO. Those messages ranged from expressions of gratitude “that this thing is over” to suggestions that “everyone at CNN should be fired.” Amplifying the celebratory mood in the White House, however, was the Monday arrest of Michael Avenatti, the Los Angeles lawyer who until recently represented the porn star Stormy Daniels, who has accused Trump of buying her silence about an affair between them. Federal prosecutors in two states charged Avenatti — who has vituperatively attacked Trump on television and Twitter — with extortion and bank fraud in unrelated matters.
Trump himself has shown relative restraint, posting just one tweet Monday morning related to the report: a Fox News clip mocking House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff. But in brief remarks to reporters at the White House, Trump argued that a reckoning should come for people responsible the Russia investigation.
