‘Can’t imagine’: Trump defends ‘honorable’ allies — but can’t rule out insider trading
President Donald Trump defended his administration following reports that White House officials may have tipped off Wall Street executives about a possible upcoming trade deal with India, The Washington Post reported.

“I can commit to myself, that’s all I can commit,” Trump said. “You know, I have thousands of people that work for me, but I can’t imagine anybody doing that.”
