Trump told NBC's Lester Holt in their sit-down interview Thursday that he sent the letter to Graham, and added, "I have nothing to do with Russia."
Like his lawyers, the president did mention the sale of a property in Florida to a Russian billionaire, as well the Miss Universe pageant he held in Moscow, but he maintained that he has "no investments in Russia, none whatsoever."
🚨 But until the president releases his tax returns, there is no way to independently verify these claims. 🚨
Many were skeptical of the claims — a 2008 interview with Donald Trump Jr. boasting about Russian business, for instance, stands in contrast to the president's comments — so the lawyers' "with a few exceptions" line quickly became a trolly meme.
