Trump dismisses any wrongdoings in Russia probe: ‘Everything I’ve done was 100 percent proper’

President Trump on Saturday dismissed any suggestions of wrongdoing in connection with the Russia probe, saying, “everything I’ve done was 100 percent proper.”

During a press conference at Camp David, one of the reporters asked the president, “Did you ask the White House counsel to ask Attorney General [Jeff] Sessions not to recuse himself from the Russia investigation?”

“Everything that I’ve done is 100 percent proper. That’s what I do. I do things proper,” Trump responded. “There’s been no collusion between us and the Russians. Now, there has been collusion between Hillary Clinton, the DNC, and the Russians. Unfortunately, you people don’t cover that very much.”

The question appears to be prompted by a recent New York Times report on the investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 U.S. election.

“The White House counsel, Donald F. McGahn II, carried out the president’s orders and lobbied Mr. Sessions to remain in charge of the inquiry, according to two people with knowledge of the episode,” the Times reported. “Mr. McGahn was unsuccessful, and the president erupted in anger in front of numerous White House officials, saying he needed his attorney general to protect him.”

During Saturday’s press appearance, Trump later repeated that there was no collusion between his campaign and Russia. He also said that this investigation is making “our country look foolish and this is a country that I don’t want looking foolish.”
