Q Did Donald Trump, Jr. — did your son, Donald Trump, Jr., speak with Robert Mueller?
THE PRESIDENT: Did I what?
Q Did your son, Donald Trump, Jr., speak with Robert Mueller?
THE PRESIDENT: I don’t know. I really don’t know.
Q How do you not know?
THE PRESIDENT: I never — I don’t know.
Yeah, go ahead.
Q Mr. President, are you concerned about what was said —
THE PRESIDENT: I mean, frankly, whether or not he did, it wouldn’t matter to me —
Q How would you not know?
THE PRESIDENT: — because he did nothing wrong. He did nothing wrong.
Q But how would you not know?
THE PRESIDENT: Because it’s so unimportant. It was always a very unimportant meeting. It was only important to the fake news.
Go ahead.
Q Mueller said you could be charged once you leave office.
THE PRESIDENT: No, he didn’t say that.
Q Yes, he did.
THE PRESIDENT: Again, you’re fake news. And you’re right at the top of the list, also.
Let me just tell you —
Q That is what he said, sir.
THE PRESIDENT: — go back to what — it’s not what he said. Read his correction.
Q That was not his correction. His correction was about exonerating you.
THE PRESIDENT: Read his correction.
Q It was about exonerating you. That was not about if you could be charged after you leave office.
THE PRESIDENT: If you read his correction, you’ll find out. That’s why people don’t deal with you because you’re not an honest reporter.
