WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he would see nothing wrong in accepting damaging information on a U.S. political opponent if it were offered to his re-election campaign by a foreign government.
“If somebody called from a country, Norway, ‘we have information on your opponent’ - oh, I think I’d want to hear it,” Trump said. The younger Trump, on learning the topic of the meeting, had written in an email: “I love it.” But people who attended the meeting said later it focused on other matters. Speaking to ABC News on Wednesday, Trump said he disagreed with FBI Director Christopher Wray, who told Congress last month that political campaigns should contact the agency about any suspicious communications from a foreign government.FILE PHOTO: U.S. President Donald Trump speaks during a joint news conference with Poland's President Andrzej Duda in at the White House in Washington, U.S., June 12, 2019.
damn right just proves that other governments new about crap our leading officials did not want americans to hear all for it maybe make a good choice because of it
His body language gives away he is on very uncomfortable ground.
Ignorance speaks again.
He accepted a replacement tree from France with dirt on it
He likes to play dirty. How can anyone trust him.
And unless he ends up in jail over that, he's right.
Please King Trump don't call the FBI, comey may show up. Lol just a joke.
Paying for it like Hillary did, now that’s illegal
Sentence structure ftw.
The President is right! The democrats are wrong! They need to know because of their steal dossier is going to put them in jail with omar. Did you ever think the king is one of the few that knows the outcome of this? Wake up you dumb democrats! On 2nd thought, don't wakeup stupid.
HOW ABOUT MIXED WITH A LITTLE WATER? ( MUD )
CRIMINAL
So foreign governments are going to start unleashing their own surveillance of American citizens under support of the president. Republicans continue to support this nonsense and will surrender any type of moral high ground in the future. Truly unbelievable.
It's so blatant and obvious, I'm not sure that any more of the idiocy coming from U.S. deep state run media needs refutation. Anyone that can and will see it sees it at this point.
Apparently not, everybody does.
Just win baby
Hillary Clinton and the DNC were actually paying for dirt from foreign nationals!
there is when that government is a declared enemy!
Just impeach the brat already. It’s the right thing to do, even if it costs the Democrats the 2020 election. Have conviction, even if there’s no hope for conviction in a Republican-controlled Senate
His policies are the indication he is working to favor Russia. He is opening the door for them in Iran, Venezuela, Cuba and in Colombia. In Europe he is engaged in demolishing the EU and Nato. He is making America weaker.
The President is right, you should listen and report if damaging. How can you report to FBI if you don’t listen to what info they have?
Forgot to include 'from a foreign government' there
As every politician do, every politician craves for dirty information about their opponents, only they are hypocrites and won’t have the balls to say it.
Normalizing criminal behavior and blatant law breaking.
HEY FAKE NEWS............. BREAKING STORY....... Hillary and Obama bought a dossier..... FROM RUSSIANS!!! Free tip for you.
Once again. No moral but only bad behaviour. The President of the most powerful nation on this planet should not act like this!
Well there’s not let’s not forget BarackObama tried and failed doing the same thing he listened to fake news
𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐦𝐩: I wouldn't necessarily alert the FBI if approached by say Norway with information on 2020 opponent: 'It’s not an interference. They have information. I think I’d take it. It's 'Oppo Research'

I saw this many times in my life, and it means he has done it.
Pretty sure that man is retarded.
Of course those who are aghast at his statement. Find nothing wrong with hrc or bho excepting money from foreign countries.
Trump, doesn't care whether it's TRUE or NOT, what a puppet, of foreign Governments.
Trump is immoral and shoots from the hip, what PRESIDENT, would be a puppet of a foreign country, DONALD TRUMP.
From a foreign Government , is the key, namely RUSSIA, who has a interest in DESTABLIZING, America, Proves , that Trump can be manipulated by foreign governments a dangerous trait. for a so- called leader.
I agree with Trump and his opponents need to be prosecuted. Pay for Play, destruction of evidence, and obstruction of justice. Lying to FISA courts......
Theres a very big difference in knowing what your opponent is supposedly guilty of and taking action or even preemting said information. I find it ironic the MSM is forcing this issue after the fact that Barry ' The One ' has already broken this percieved rule. Not fair Libs.
Steele Dossier. Adam Schiff. Bernie Sanders. Joe Biden.
Obama did this. HIllary did this. Trump says he should be able to do it. The left: TREASON!
Why not Clinton did it. Democrats did it with Ukraine and Russia we have text and phone convo’s lol.
Just like Hillary?
During a certain time, it was impossible to build casinos in AC without a nod from the Philly mob. (Concrete is used in the building of casinos) Let's just say that the FBI wasn't on tRumpty Dumpty's speed dial. atrupar

Hillary paid a Russian spy to find dirt on Trump to meddle in an election. This is a fact. Calling it opposition research to cover her crime. Any dirt on Trump goes right to the media not the FBI.
TRAITOR

F THE MEDIA - YOU AIN'T GONNA CHANGE HIM. 4MOREYEARS
The stupidest thing he has ever said by far... George tried to give him an out !, the fool incriminates himself every time he opens his mouth!
At least he is truthful, which is rare to find these days from the corridors of power in India.
Trump is the best thing that has happened to the USA
Actually that’s not what he said because that’s not what he was asked.
Classic Tracy move. BlackSheep
Uncle Dumpty's lifts are so high he nearly fell off on to his face.
Criminals don't see anything wrong with working with other criminals.
まじ、子供っぽい。
Of course Trump wouldn’t. He has no sense of norms or decency
It’s actually a(nother) violation of the laws of the United States.
Traitor TreasonousTrump WeaselHairedCocksplat
And then he said, if he found it to be illegal, or criminal, he would turn that info over to the FBI
Trump looks like a 1950s crooner who never was admitted into the Sinatra clan
Accepting information is fine. Only triggered liberals that actually don’t want voting at all are angered by this.
Bc you are a horrible person and an all around putz
And considering it’s not illegal he has every right to hear what that info is.
If its politically damaging maybe its evidence worth using. Like if a Democrat lt gov was a rapist, or if a governor dressed in a klan uniform?
This happens literally everyday in every administration that’s ever existed. The fake outrage is so amusing
Meanwhile, Prince Charles releases a Public Statement:
Nothing wrong with a little light treason here and there.
Neither do I. The Democrats are still investigating Trump for a dossier put together by all foreigners!
Traitor UnAmerican
Yes, we are well aware... Keep talking genius in the end this is all going to right itself. Liers can only keep the show going so long as each lie spins them into a tighter and tighter circle.
What politician running a campaign wouldn't want to hear that information? That is a natural part of competitive politics. Always has been and always will be.
It's like a freaking Tom and Jerry cartoon between POTUS and the democrats
'Uh, remember the dossier? Written by a foreigner claiming to have info from, among others, Russians; paid for by the HC campaign & DNC; used by the Obama admin, promoted by the media, etc. ... But these clowns are appalled by Trump’s answer, lol.' **
Criminals never do.
worked once
Let me get this straight, but Clinton can use a foreign agent to dig up proven false Russian intel to accuse a political opponent.
I guess that's steel dossier didn't mean anything to you guys huh?
Hillary + DNC actually funded a Kremlin-sourced dossier... Sooo there’s that
Is it honestly a point of view that all of the people that hate trump sincerely wouldn’t want Russia to leak to the American press any/all of his collusion behavior during the election? Does anyone actually believe that? Is a preposterous premise.
Well duh.
This man is dangerous to American democracy
“My party only cares when brown people break the law, so I’m good'
