Trump Wouldn’t Talk About Manafort On the Record

Although he was willing to talk about a lot of things in his Washington Post interview yesterday, President Trump went off the record when asked if he was “planning to do anything to help” his embattled former campaign chief Paul Manafort.

Trump asked to “go off the record because I don’t want to get in the middle of the whole thing.” When asked if there was “any version” of what he said off the record that he’d be “willing to give us on the record.” Trump said he’d “rather not” and proceeded to go off the record again.
