Lincoln Project co-founder speculates if Jared Kushner was the mole who sold out Trump to the feds

Lincoln Project co-founder Rick Wilson appeared on MSNBC Wednesday afternoon to talk about the group's new 60 second ad that they are running in Bedminster, New Jersey, where Donald Trump typically summers.

"We knew that Donald Trump would try to gaslight the entire country and try to psychologically destabilize the minute this raid happened," said Wilson. "We knew he would immediately start lying and they would immediately try to tell an alternate narrative of why it's happening and why it's really happening. And we wanted to immediately push back. And something we're good at — which is getting inside his decision cycle and getting inside his head space and pushing back in a way that we've been very, very successful in the past."
