Trump complained reporter's question at summit was too hard: report
By Jacqueline Thomsen - 07/21/18 03:03 PM EDT

President Trump reportedly complained that a reporter’s question about Russian interference in the 2016 election during a press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin was too difficult.

The Washington Post reported Saturday that Trump wondered why Associated Press reporter Jonathan Lemire had been selected to ask the president a question, rather than someone who would have presented him with an easier query.

Lemire asked if Trump would, “with the whole world watching, tell President Putin, that you denounce what happened in 2016, and would you warn him to never do it again?”

Trump replied by asking why the FBI didn’t take a server from the Democratic National Committee to directly investigate hacking claims. He added “I don’t see any reason why it would be” Russia.

“But I have confidence in both parties,” Trump said, apparently referring to the U.S. intelligence community and Putin.

The president’s comments sparked a firestorm of controversy over the past week.

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

When he asked aides why they chose Lemire, they told him that other reporters would have asked a similar question.


No kidding.  It was inevitable someone would ask the question in some form.
