Earlier this afternoon, POTUS touched on a wide range of topics during his Q&A. See below for more noteworthy quotes:
On President Trump's son Donald Trump Jr. accepting gifts of payment for his wedding activities from a Russian oligarch. Trump said it is "totally allowed" and that his son paid back the gift "a while ago."
On the press ban, when asked what "others to come" means, President Trump mentioned the New York Times and the Washington Post, but stopped short of saying he is banning them from the White House: "We are probably not going to display the paper anymore in the White House, but we haven't taken the step of throwing them out. "
