Trump and Media Response to Al Franken

Featured Coverage of this Story

U.S. Sen. Al Franken of Minnesota was exposed on Thursday as a sexual predator, but it took some on the left a while to figure it out - and when they finally did, it served as an excuse to bring up alleged misconduct by President Trump.
President Trump injected himself into the national debate over sexual harassment again, a risky move that opens the president up to charges of hypocrisy over his past behavior and his reluctance to rebuke Republicans who have been accused of misconduct.
Last fall, Donald J. Trump inadvertently touched off a national conversation about sexual harassment when a recording of him boasting about groping women was made public at the same time a succession of women came forward to assert that groping was something he did more than talk about.
