1998: Donald Trump Comments On Bill Clinton And The Lewinsky Scandal | NBC News

do you think he could have gotten away with a complete Maya Copa in January when he decided to cover it up do you think at that moment he could have said I'm going to throw all my money on the table the American people like me they're going to buy this well I think he probably couldn't do any worse I don't think he could do worse I think his lawyers and in particular the lawyer I won't even mention names but representing him with respect to Paula Jones I thought did a terrible job he should have never

been there he should have never gotten in there I mean what what Bennett did in that case was I I think he just did you would have settled well I would have done I would have done something certainly different than what they did I mean that all started at Paula Jones is a loser but the fact is that she may be responsible for bringing down a president indirectly and you know that statement was a bad statement to have made been made and it's proven to be false so uh which statement was that I'm sorry this

Paula Jones in the deposition which really started this he denied it which is if you're in a hole stop digging is there a certain point you just sort of walk away from the deal and say I'm not dealing here anymore I'm going to drop this line well I think his little speech after it was a disaster it wasn't the right tone and I'm not sure he should have done it and I'm not even sure that he shouldn't have just gone in and taken the Fifth Amendment and said look I don't get along with this man

star he's after me he's a republican he's this he's that and you know just taking the Fifth Amendment it's a terrible thing for a president to take the Fifth Amendment but he probably should have done it I don't think he could have done any worse than what's happened it's such an embarrassment to him I mean I see him walking around it's like a terrible embarrassment and you think when you see him turn doing this what do what comes to your head as a businessman about the miscalculation he made well it it's just that there are

so many miscalculations and he's had such bad advice it's just been so badly handled and it's pretty scary I you know he's really been a Teflon guy they compared him with Reagan with the Teflon and he has been a Teflon guy that Teflon has exploded all over the place Hey NBC News fans thanks for checking out our YouTube channel subscribe by clicking on that button down here and then click on any of the videos over here to watch the latest interviews show highlights and digital exclusives thanks for watching
