Nicole Wallace Mocks Trump For Saying Putin "Smiled" During Call

NICOLE WALLACE, MSNBC:
When a 22-month long investigation finds, quote: "The Russian government interfered… in a sweeping and systematic fashion," you say something about it the next time you talk to the Russian president responsible for that sweeping and systematic attack, right? Not if you’re Donald Trump.

Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin spoke on the phone today. A spokeswoman saying the two leaders talked about collusion, which notably isn't a thing anywhere but on FOX News. Mueller actually investigated but when pressed by reporters about whether he mentioned Russia's attack on our country, our democracy, here was Trump.

QUESTION: Did you address the election meddling issues with President Putin today?

PRESIDENT TRUMP: He sort of smiled when he said something to the effect that it started off as a mountain but it ended up as a mouse. But he knew that because he knew there was no collusion whatsoever. So pretty much that's what it was.

QUESTION: Mr. President, did you tell him not to meddle in the next election?

TRUMP: Excuse me. I'm talking. I'm answering this question. you are very rude. so we had a good conversation about many different things. okay?

QUESTION: Did you tell him not to meddle in the next election?

TRUMP: We didn't discuss that.

NICOLE WALLACE: "We didn't discuss that." And he smiled. Were you face timing?
