Sen. Josh Hawley laughed off President Donald Trump’s attack on him, telling The Independent that he and the president met after Trump called him a “second-tier” senator.
Earlier in the day, Trump had posted on Truth Social and attacked the Missouri Republican for his legislation that would ban stock trading among lawmakers as well as the president and vice president, and for not supporting a measure by Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) that would review former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s stock trading.
