WASHINGTON Asked yesterday about his recent tweet that criminals and unknown Middle Easterners are mixed in the migrant caravan in southern Mexico, President Donald Trump responded that the U.S. Border Patrol has apprehended people from the Middle East before.
I spoke with Border Patrol [Tuesday] morning, and I spoke to them last evening, and I spoke to them the day before. I speak to them all the time. And they say and you know this as well as anybody over the course of the year, over the course of a number of years, they've intercepted many people from the Middle East," he said. "They've intercepted ISIS. They've intercepted all sorts of people. They've intercepted good ones and bad ones.
But when the reporter questioned Trump on whether he has proof that Middle Easterners are in the caravan right now, the president replied, Well, they could very well be.
When the reporter pressed on proof once again, Trump said,
There's no proof of anything. There's no proof of anything. But they could very well be.
