Vladimir Putin talked to CNN's Fareed Zakaria and charged that he was mistranslated and never called Donald Trump 'brilliant'

What Putin said, the Russian president said, was that the presumptive Republican nominee is 'bright'

In Putin's original statement he used a Russian word that can be translated into bright - but is closer to the English definition of colorful
