'Was I being lied to for my vote?' GOP strategist spots crisis of faith among Trump's base

A Republican strategist warned that President Donald Trump's seeming impunity did not carry over into a scandal that's threatening to consume his presidency.

The U.S. Supreme Court's immunity ruling before he won re-election emboldened Trump, GOP strategist Maura Gillespie told "CNN This Morning," and she said that had set the tone from the start of his second term.

"The executive orders, I think, from the pardons to how it emboldened President Trump 2.0 and the White House," Gillespie said.
