Trump denies that he told Comey he didn't stay overnight in Moscow
(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.

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 won’t. It will ALL come back to dog his tracks. And I for one, can’t wait to see him get what he has coming to him. It won’t be pretty.
