Why Did Trump Discuss Two Black Pastors on his Recorded Call with Michael Cohen?
posted on July 25, 2018The Washington Post‘s Julie Zauzmer reports that President Trump and Michael Cohen mentioned two black pastors during a secretly taped conversation that was released this week. They appeared to be discussing a payment for a Playboy model who alleges she had an affair with the president. The talk also turned to two pastors who were surrogates for Trump on the campaign trail: Darrell Scott and Mark Burns. Zauzmer writes, “Both pastors are among Trump’s relatively few supporters in the black church. Black voters overall went overwhelmingly for Clinton over Trump, 88 percent to 8 percent.”
