‘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.
Trump made the comments Friday while speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, where he admitted it was impossible for him to know for certain, given the thousands of people who work for him.
“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.”
