Gary Cohn, the head of Donald Trump’s National Economic Council, pretended to have a bad connection during a call with the president to end a recent phone call, a Democratic senator said.

Sen. Tom Carper of Delaware recounted on CNN Wednesday a meeting he and other senators had with Cohn on tax reform earlier this month. Trump had called into the meeting from his Asia trip. After about 15 minutes, Carper told CNN, Trump was still talking, and Carper suggested to Cohn that he tell Trump they were losing contact.
