Press conference on Donald Trump
← Back to Donald Trump ProfileDuring a 2016 press conference, Donald Trump openly invited Russia to hack and release Hillary Clinton's missing emails, promising favorable media coverage in return.
“Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”
At a 2016 press conference, Donald Trump responded to criticism from the Democratic National Convention by musing about violently attacking speakers, specifically targeting one he described as "a very little guy."
“The things that were said about me. … You know what, I wanted to hit a couple of those speakers so hard. ... I was gonna hit one guy in particular, a very little guy. I was gonna hit this guy so hard, his head would spin. He wouldn't know what the hell happened.”
