President Trump said that if a foreign power offered dirt on his 2020 opponent, he would “want to hear it.” “There’s nothing wrong with listening,” he said.
Mueller painstakingly documented Russian efforts to boost Trump's campaign and undermine that of his Democratic rival. But while Mueller's investigation didn't establish a criminal conspiracy between Russia and Trump's campaign,Trump's comments came just a month after he pledged not to use information stolen by foreign adversaries in his 2020 reelection campaign, even as he wrongly insisted he hadn't used such information to his benefit in 2016.
“I don't need it," he said as he met with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. “All I need is the opponents that I'm looking at.”Trump also insisted erroneously that he “never did use, as you probably know,” such information, adding: “That's what the Mueller report was all about. They said no collusion.”
But Trump, who nominated Wray to the role in 2017, told ABC News that he disagrees. “The FBI director is wrong,” the president said. He added, “Life doesn't work like that.”
