President Trump’s National Economic Council director reportedly drafted a resignation letter in response to Trump’s controversial comments after violence at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., earlier this month left one counterprotester dead.
The New York Times wrote Friday that Gary Cohn, who serves as the president’s chief economic adviser, “seriously considered resigning” from his post and had prepared a resignation letter that he ultimately did not send.
The report comes hours after the Financial Times published a new interview with Cohen where he said that “this administration can and must do better in consistently and unequivocally condemning these groups.”
