(CNN)President Donald Trump denied on Thursday that he told former FBI Director James Comey that he didn't spend a night in Moscow, saying, "Of course I stayed there."
"He didn't write those memos accurately. He put a lot of phony stuff. For instance, I went to Russia for a day or so -- a day or two -- because I own the Miss Universe Pageant, so I went there to watch it," Trump said on "Fox & Friends."
"He said I didn't stay there a night. Of course I stayed there. I stayed there a very short period of time but of course I stayed. Well, his memo said I left immediately. I never said that. I never said I left immediately."
Comey, who was fired by Trump in May 2017, wrote in memos that Trump told him on two occasions that he did not stay overnight in Moscow around the time of the Miss Universe pageant in 2013.

Nope. Not credible. Trump lied, and now once exposed, he has to backtrack to cover his lies

And this from a guy who can contradict himself in the same sentence. Or more accurately, sentence fragment.

(18,874 posts)10. This is what happens to serial liars.
They can't keep up with all their stories and pretty soon they get caught up in a tangled web.
Couldn't happen to a more deserving person.

(5,815 posts)11. And this is going to happen in a very public way.
Unlike when he was ordinary Donald tRump, as President Donald tRump, every single utterance out of his pie hole is noted and recorded. Every.Single.One. So while he loses track of what he said, the rest of us wont. It will ALL come back to dog his tracks. And I for one, cant wait to see him get what he has coming to him. It wont be pretty.
