Extraordinary Moment Trump defends Saudi Crown Prince

Transcript

00:00Is it appropriate, Mr. President, for your family to be doing business in Saudi Arabia while you're president?

00:05Is that a conflict of interest?

00:06And, Your Royal Highness, the U.S. intelligence concluded that you orchestrated the brutal murder of a journalist.

00:129-11 families are furious that you are here in the Obama administration.

00:15Who are you with?

00:16Who are you with?

00:16Washington-Americans trust you.

00:17Who are you with?

00:18And the same to you, Mr. President.

00:19Now, who are you with?

00:19I'm with ABC News, sir.

00:21You're with who?

00:21ABC News, sir.

00:22Fake news.

00:23ABC fake news.

00:24One of the worst in the business.

00:26But I'll answer you a question.

00:27I have nothing to do with the family business.

00:30I have left and when I, I've devoted 100% of my energy.

00:34What my family does is fine.

00:36They do business all over.

00:37They've done very little with Saudi Arabia, actually.

00:39I'm sure they could do a lot.

00:41And anything they've done has been very good.

00:43That's what we've done.

00:44We've built a tremendous business for a long time.

00:47I've been very successful.

00:48I decided to leave that success behind and make America very successful.

00:53And I've made America more successful by far than it ever was.

00:56And that it ever could have been, no matter who was president, there would be nobody bringing

01:01in $21 trillion.

01:02That I can tell you right now.

01:04As far as this gentleman is concerned, he's done a phenomenal job.

01:08You're mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial.

01:11A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about.

01:14Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen.

01:17But he knew nothing about it.

01:19And we can leave it at that.

01:20You don't have to embarrass our guests by asking a question like that.
