(AP) – President Donald Trump says he would never say anything “inappropriate” on a call with a foreign leader.
Trump’s tweeted statement Thursday comes as lawmakers look to scrutinize the handling of an intelligence whistleblower complaint that The Washington Post reported stemmed from a call Trump conducted with an unspecified foreign leader. The Post said Trump made an unspecified “promise” to the leader.
The Associated Press has not confirmed the report.
Trump says that he understands that many people listen to those calls, adding “is anybody dumb enough to believe” that he would speak inappropriately under those circumstances.
He adds that “I would only do what is right anyway.”
