In town report #5 - press questions

Trump took questions from press for about 10 min at the end of event on TrumpRX expansion to generic drugs.

He weighed in on halting the Iran attack, the new DOJ anti-weaponization fund, Ebola, and the attack on the Islamic Center in San Diego, which he called a "terrible situation."

On the DOJ fund, he said he knows “very little about it.”

“I wasn't involved in the creation of it."

"I didn't do this deal. It was told to me yesterday. ... You have families absolutely destroyed, and it's all going to be determined by a committee of four or five people that are respected and very brilliant at what they do."

Asked if he or his family would seek compensation for the fund, Trump said it will be dependent on a committee.

He didn't answer a shouted question about how much longer he will give Iran.

POTUS: "We were getting ready to do a very major attack tomorrow and put it off for a little while, hopefully maybe forever, but possibly for a little while, because we've had very big discussions with Iran, and we'll see what they amount to."

Event ended at 5:48 after about 30 minutes. More TK
