Secondary travel print note #13: NEWS on Comey -- "dirty cop"

Brief ninety second gaggle under the wing upon arrival at JBA.

The president was asked about former FBI Director James Comey being charged by the Justice Department for a third time.

Trump: "No, I don't know too much about it. I just heard about it."

"I think he's a dirty cop, James Comey, but I know nothing about it."

He began the gaggle by talking about his trip to Mississippi and praising Sen. Cynthia Hyde-Smith.

"A great senator, and it was a long trip, but it was an honor, and I loved Mississippi. Won it every time by a record margin." As he was walking towards the Beast, he was asked about the latest ruling as it relates to the East Potomac Park golf course his administration is redesigning. He returned to answer. Q: What about your golf course?

"Not my golf course. It's a public course that's being built in Washington D.C. And it has a go-ahead. The judge feels that she would like to approve it as it goes along. And I didn't know she was an architectural critic of golf courses. She knows nothing about that, so we'll appeal that. But the course itself will move along. It's a beautiful project for Washington D.C."

Finally he was asked about the protests in Europe and if he was worried.

"I'm not worried about it. No, I don't worry about that at all. That's an immigration problem. They have a huge problem. They should have stopped it a long time ago, and I know every one of them. Thank you. Take care. " Pool is motorcading back to the WH. Left JBA at approximately 11:30.
