Trump's "run out the clock" legal strategy

Facing a multi-front war in the post-Mueller world, President Trump is turning to litigation strategies that he long used in business — resist, delay and sue.

What they’re saying: “Trump can run out the clock by taking a hardline position,” a source familiar with the president’s legal strategy told me. “The president thinks it’s in his political interest to keep the fight going, and make it harder for the Democrats to have a coherent message.”…

Bloomberg’s Tim O’Brien, who was sued by Trump in 2006, told me:

“This completely comports with Trump’s approach to business and life.”

“Roy Cohn taught him how to weaponize the legal system when he was still in his late 20s — nearly 50 years ago.”
