Trump Resurrects His Claim That Both Sides Share Blame in Charlottesville Violence
“Now because of what’s happened since then, with Antifa, you look at really what’s happened since Charlottesville — a lot of people are

“Especially in light of the advent of Antifa, if you look at what’s going on there, you know, you have some pretty bad dudes on the

As for Mr. Cohn, he said, “I have confidence in Gary, too.” Later, Mr. Trump noted
that he also liked and respected Janet L. Yellen, the chairwoman of the Federal Reserve — a job that Mr. Cohn has openly coveted.
