Trump would gladly use foreign influence to win an election. |
ABC News had access to the imbecile. Stephanopoulos questioned the possibility of foreign governments such as Russia and China putting a thumb on the scale for a candidate.
Trump basically dismissed the notion and said that he welcomed the information.
EXCLUSIVE: Pres. Trump tells @GStephanopoulos he wouldn't necessarily alert the FBI if approached by foreign figures with information on his 2020 opponent: "It’s not an interference. They have information. I think I’d take it." https://t.co/yWRxMOaFqW pic.twitter.com/qwLw53s5yc— ABC News (@ABC) June 12, 2019
Trump presented a hypothetical situation in which “somebody comes up and says, ‘Hey, I have information on your opponent.’ Do you call the FBI?” The president went on to say, “I don’t think in my whole life I’ve ever called the FBI” and, “Give me a break. Life doesn’t work that way.”
When Stephanopoulos challenged Trump, saying that the FBI director believes a person presented with potentially stolen information should call the agency, the president responded, “The FBI director is wrong.”
This is what Trump said. The far-white can't save him. They'll just use the old Hillary Clinton excuse |
“There’s nothing wrong with listening,” Trump said in a video from inside the Oval Office.
When Stephanopoulos suggested a transaction of that kind could constitute election interference, the president disagreed.
“It’s not interference. They have information. I think I’d take it. If I thought there was something wrong, I’d go maybe to the FBI,” Trump said.
Do you think its right for President Donald Trump to take foreign information about an opponent? (Expect trolls to pick the dumbest answer)
Trump defended his remarks in a two-part tweet Thursday morning. “I meet and talk to ‘foreign governments’ every day,” Trump said, noting that he had spoken to numerous world leaders during his recent trip to Europe — including “the Prince of Whales.” Trump fixed the spelling of the tweet a few minutes later.
....call the FBI about these calls and meetings? How ridiculous! I would never be trusted again. With that being said, my full answer is rarely played by the Fake News Media. They purposely leave out the part that matters.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 13, 2019
The taped comments come on the same day Donald Trump Jr., testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee in a closed door hearing. Members were expected to grill him on his meeting with a Russian lawyer linked to the Kremlin at Trump Tower in Manhattan on June 2016. That lawyer claimed to have damaging information about Hillary Clinton, the then-presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.
