As Twitchy reported earlier, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre speculated that Donald Trump had had as many as seven phone calls with Vladimir Putin since leaving office. "It's speculation, but if it's true โฆ it is indeed concerning because we're talking about our national security here," Jean-Pierre said.
CNN's Jake Tapper interviewed former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson Tuesday and also asked about the allegations in Bob Woodward's book that Trump had had several calls with Putin. Tapper didn't get the response he expected.

That's the greatest thing I have seen in a while. That fake news maggot stuttered all over himself.

Tapper had no clue where to go from there.

Boris really flummoxed him with that answer.
Boris did not miss seeing Tapper's blood-drained face judging from the smile he had ๐๐

That long pause by Jake Tapper, after @BorisJohnson destroys his insinuation, shows that it totally took oxygen out of his lungs.
