AP FACT CHECK: Trump knew WikiLeaks until he didn't
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump knew WikiLeaks until he didn't.
With his government seeking to prosecute WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, Trump is drawing a blank on a hacking organization he praised to the rafters during the 2016 campaign because of the discomfort it caused his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton.
It was among a number of factual faux pas and flips in his rhetoric over the past week.
A few months after asserting a need for legal immigrants, Trump declared the country "full" and he also seemed to change the grounds upon which he is refusing to release his taxes: It's not because he can't, but because he doesn't want to.
And with the release of more of the special counsel's report imminent, Trump kept up his refrain that Robert Mueller exonerated him despite Mueller's explicit statement that he did not.
