In a wide-ranging and, at times, off-the-rails interview with “Fox and Friends” on Thursday morning, President Donald Trump said his former FBI director lied when he said Trump didn’t stay overnight in Moscow during the Miss Universe pageant in 2013.
“He didn’t write those memos accurately,” Trump said, referencing James Comey’s documentation of his conversations with Trump, which TPM published last week. “He put a lot of phony stuff, for instance, I went to Russia for a day or so, a day or two because I own the Miss Universe pageant. … Everybody knows, the logs are there, the planes are there, he said I didn’t stay there a night. Of course I stayed there, I stayed there a very short period of time, but of course I stayed.”
Then, just after casually confirming that he stayed in Moscow the night that the Christopher Steele dossier alleges he paid prostitutes to urinate on each other and a bed the Obamas had slept in, Trump tore into CNN, “fake news” and his own Justice Department for not doing “their job.”
In his memos, Comey said that Trump asked him to investigate the so-called “pee tape” allegations made in the dossier, as he reportedly bragged to Comey about how he’s not “a guy who needs hookers.” He also reportedly said he didn’t want his wife Melania Trump to believe the prostitute allegations.
According to the memos, Trump also told Comey that the allegations couldn’t be true because he didn’t stay in Moscow overnight during the Miss Universe pageant.
Well Ok , Then there is a pee tape
It’s good to know that you have a reason for being so nice to Putin
If you listen carefully, you can hear Michael Avenatti chortling in the background.
It may be Melania’s birthday, but he just got the gift-wrapped present.
Trump lied. Comey transcribed it. It became public and was debunked. Now Trump points to Comey’s transcription and says Comey was lying.
I’m sick of this lying clown already, it’s affecting my health. Every time I think Trump is finally at the point of spontaneous human combustion, the media normalizes him.
He’s feeling good because he knows Macron loves him!
