Trump on Lewandowski probe reports: 'I want my people to be honest'
President Trump said Thursday that he has “no idea” why the Department of Justice (DOJ) is investigating Corey Lewandowski for misconduct, but that anyone working for him has to be honest. Those that are not honest, Trump went on to say, will face the DOJ.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets focus on Trump’s reaction to reported Justice Department scrutiny of Corey Lewandowski, with honesty and possible prosecution as the central themes. The Hill says Trump said he had “no idea” why the DOJ is investigating Lewandowski, while Newsweek frames the same comments as Trump saying dishonest aides should be prosecuted. Newsweek also explicitly describes Lewandowski as a longtime ally, a detail not present in The Hill’s extract.
