Trump does not take questions as he departs for weekend

Trump didn't take questions from reporters on Friday as he departed Washington, D.C., for the weekend, amid fallout from his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin and a bombshell report that his personal lawyer secretly recorded a conversation with Trump about a payment to a former Playboy model.

Trump, who sometimes answers questions from reporters outside the White House, ignored questions about both topics on his way to the helicopter taking him to Air Force One.

His departure marked the end of a controversial week for Trump: The president sparked a firestorm on Monday when he refused to criticize Russia and sided with Putin's denials of election interference during a joint press conference with the leader.

Trump, facing criticism from both Democrats and Republicans over his comments, attempted to walk back the statement on Tuesday by saying he backs the U.S. intelligence assessment that Russia did interfere in the 2016 election.

Not a good week for the dotard. Unfortunately not a good week for most of us either.
