President Trump has live-tweeted everything from the Oscars to the vice presidential debate, so naturally he will share his thoughts with his followers during the biggest show of the week: the Senate hearing of former FBI Director James Comey.
White House officials told The Washington Post's Robert Costa "that President Trump does not plan to put down Twitter on Thursday. [He] may live tweet if he feels the need to respond." (Spoiler alert: He almost certainly will).
