TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: [Reporter: “Mr. President, what’s your response to Olivia Troye and some of these former administration officials who are coming out to criticize you?”]
“I just heard about that. I don’t know her. She worked for the Vice President. She was on the task force as some kind of a lower-level person. I have no idea who she is. I don’t met her — I never met her, to the best of my knowledge. Maybe she was in a room. I have no idea who she is. She doesn’t know me. It’s just another person that leaves, and whether it’s CNN or Washington Post, they say negative things.
We have a letter from her, I was just told, that is absolutely the most beautiful going-away letter. She was terminated. They didn’t want her. She was terminated. She has nothing to do with me. I don’t know her. I never met her. May have been in a room or something, but I never met her.”
