https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/442026-trump-says-he-did-not-confront-putin-on-election-interference-in-postPresident Trump said he did not confront Russian President Vladimir Putin about interfering in U.S. elections during their lengthy phone conversation earlier Friday.
Speaking in the Oval Office, Trump lashed out at a reporter who interjected to ask him whether he told Putin not to interfere, telling her you are very rude.
We didnt discuss that. Really, we didnt discuss it, Trump said when asked a second time, adding they went into great detail on issues such as Venezuela, North Korea and nuclear arms control.

Trump said he did discuss special counsel Robert Muellers report briefly with Putin, whom he said smiled when the subject was brought up and said something to the effect: it started off being a mountain and ended up being a mouse.

How the hell else would he know if Putin smiled unless he outright busted out laughing at the Mueller Report? I cant wait till this asshole is out of office and drowning in lawsuits in NY.

I wonder if that "DO NOT CONGRATULATE" note will be in Trump's presidential archive?
