Yup, and it seemed shady at the time.

Try this: Find anyone defending Trump today who was on the record back then and see what they said. And try to find even one of them who wasn't arguing 180 degrees different opinion about Gore.

"My counsel advises me that there is no controlling legal authority," Al Gore intoned in the only major news conference of his vice presidency to air on live television.

By the time he entered the cramped White House press room on March 3, 1997, the vice president was in trouble. No longer known as Mister Clean, Gore had been dubbed the "solicitor-in-chief" by DNC staffers. One Democratic donor said the vice president's pursuit of cash amounted to a "shakedown." Sen. Robert G. Torricelli, a New Jersey Democrat close to the White House, called Gore's actions "undefendable."
