Trump Claims "I Know Nothing About WikiLeaks" Despite Praising Site Repeatedly in 2016
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the White House, President Trump was asked about Wiki Leaks on
Thursday.

Reporter: "Mr. President, do you still love Wiki Leaks?"

President Donald Trump: "I know nothing about Wiki Leaks. It's not my
thing."

While Trump claimed he knew nothing about Wiki Leaks, he repeatedly
praised the whistleblowing site during the 2016 campaign for publishing
internal Democratic Party emails.

Donald Trump: "This just came out. This just came out. Wiki Leaks! I
love Wiki Leaks!"

We'll have more on the arrest of Julian Assange later in the program.
