Scott Jennings: *Laughs* Take the fall, for what? I don't know. Doesn't this show the confidence that Trump has in Susie Wiles? I mean, she feels confident to have a longstanding conversation going on with you. They obviously knew about it and did it over a period of time. I mean, the bond between them is pretty strong, is it not?
