"No, I haven't," the president says, asked whether he had disciplined or fired the staff member that posted the racist clip of the Obamas at the end of a video on his Truth Social.
He says he wasn't aware that Secretary Lutnick had visited Epstein's island: "No, I wasn't aware of it. No, I didn't. I actually haven't spoken about that. I wasn't but from what I hear, he was there with his wife and children. I guess in some cases, some people were, I wasn't. I was never there. Some people said, they say that I was never there."
And that's a wrap, as of 2:10 p.m.
