Trump: Cohen ‘Lied a Lot’ But He Didn’t Lie About ‘One Thing,’ He ‘Said No Collusion’

‘I call it the Russian witch hunt’

EXCERPT:

TRUMP: "Well, it is incorrect and you know, it's very interesting, because I tried to watch as much as I could -- I wasn’t able to watch too much because I’ve been a little bit busy. But I think having a fake hearing like that and having it in the middle of this very important summit is really a terrible thing. They could have made it two-days later or next week and it would have been even better, they would have had more time. But having it during this very important summit is sort of incredible. And he lied a lot, but it was very interesting because he didn’t lie about one thing, he said no collusion with the Russian hoax. And I said, I wonder why he didn’t just lie about that, too, like he did about everything else, I mean, he lied about so many different things, I was actually impressed that he didn’t say, well, I think there was collusion for this reason or that, he didn't say that, he said no collusion, and I was a little impressed by that, frankly. He could have gone all out. He only went about 95 percent instead of 100 percent. But the fact is there is no collusion. And I call it the witch hunt, this should never happen to another president, this is so bad for our country. So bad. You look at this whole hoax, I call it the Russian witch hunt, and now I add the word hoax, it's very, very bad for our country. But I was impressed with the fact that he --  you know, the most important question up there was the one on collusion and he said he saw no collusion. So we’ll see what happens, but it was pretty shameful, I think. Yes, ma’am, please, please."
