At U.N., Trump Accuses China of Election Meddling & Attacks Iran
----------------------------------------------------------------

At the United Nations, President Trump gaveled in a meeting of the
Security Council Wednesday, as the U.S. took over the rotating position
of council president. In prepared remarks, Trump once again attacked
Iran over its alleged nuclear ambitions; he also singled out China for
allegedly meddling in the upcoming U.S. midterm elections. Later, Trump
held an 81-minute solo news conference-just the second of his
presidency, in which he railed against Kavanaugh's accusers and
dismissed reports he was being laughed at when he addressed the General
Assembly Tuesday as "fake news." We'll have more on Trump at the United
Nations later in the broadcast.
