2. Publicly, President Trump has remained quiet about Stormy Daniels, the pornographic film star whose unapologetic “60 Minutes” interview on Sunday detailed their alleged sexual encounters. Privately, he has railed against her, insisting that she was not telling the truth.

Melania Trump, the first lady, has also remained silent. “She’s focusing on being a mother,” her spokeswoman said.

Meanwhile, as the special counsel investigation enters critical phases, the president’s personal legal team has shrunk to essentially one person. Mr. Trump decided not to hire two lawyers who were announced as additions just last week.
