White House tries to clarify Pres. Trump's claim that first lady Melania Trump has 'gotten to know' North Korean dictator Kim Jung Un.
The White House on Monday tried to clarify President Donald Trump's claim at the G-7 summit that first lady Melania Trump has"gotten to know" North Korean dictator Kim Jung Un.
However, neither Melania Trump nor Kim have been in the same room together, which prompted White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham to release a statement saying that the president feels as if the first lady “has gotten to know him too” through his relationship with the North Korean leader. "He wrote me beautiful letters, and they're great letters. We fell in love," Trump said last September.
