WASHINGTON—After the first day of public impeachment hearings on Nov. 13, White House chief economic adviser Larry Kudlow came to President Donald Trump’s defense. He said the president has had to “fight hard to do his task” amid political “toxicity” in Washington.
“He has been attacked mercilessly and I’ve seen it up close daily. And he attacks back. I don’t know if that’s the way he would prefer frankly,” Kudlow said on Nov. 13 at an annual gala hosted by the Independent Women’s Forum (IWF), a conservative nonprofit advocacy group that focuses on policies affecting women.
