Donald Trump told the Wall Street Journal that his relationship with Kevin McCarthy hasn't been damaged by newly released audio of McCarthy saying he planned to urge the former president to resign over the Jan. 6 insurrection.
Why it matters:
McCarthy initially criticized Trump publicly for his actions on Jan. 6 but changed his tune shortly after in an effort to return to Trump's good graces."He made a call. I heard the call. I didn’t like the call," Trump told the Journal at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
