Donald Trump has retained a lawyer named Marc Kasowitz to represent him personally in matters related to the federal investigation of Russia’s interference in the 2016 election. Kasowitz has issued a statement about former FBI Director James Comey’s testimony to the Senate on Thursday; we’ll have more detailed coverage of the attorney’s various arguments later but for now will merely note that he misspelled the word president in the statement’s first sentence and then made about 50 other mistakes elsewhere in it:
