The president claims it doesn't matter because the statement was made to "the phony New York Times."

President Trump fielded a variety of questions from reporters on the White House lawn Friday morning, during which he broached the topic of his son, Donald Trump Jr., and a statement the younger Trump made to The New York Times about his meeting with Russian operatives during the campaign, which later turned out to be false.
Trump suggested that it didnt matter if the statement which he dictated was true, because it was only a comment for a newspaper.
Its irrelevant! Its a statement to The New York Times the phony, failing New York Times, he said. Thats not a statement to a high tribunal of judges. Thats a statement to the phony New York Times. In fact, frankly, he shouldnt even speak to The New York Times because they only write phony stories anyway!

They were putting out a genesis of lies, evolving as the predecessor lies were shown as bogus.

And his cult followers will buy unto it.
It's OK to lie and to admit anything - as long as you do so to "fake news".
Admissions of guilt or wrong-doing can't be held against him as long as he says it to "fake news".
