Former President Donald Trump reportedly feels "betrayed" by all three of his Supreme Court appointees, but he reserves "particular bile" for Justice Brett Kavanaugh, a new book by Michael Wolff reveals, per Axios.
Trump is reportedly "very disappointed" in his "hard-won" nominee, and believes he "hasn't got the courage you need to be a great justice," Wolff writes in Landslide, out Tuesday. What's more, the ex-president believes that he "saved [Kavanaugh's] life": "Where would he be without me? ... He wouldn't even be in a law firm. Who would have had him? Nobody. Totally disgraced. Only I saved him."
