‘I’m Not a Racist,’ Trump Says in Denying Vulgar Comment

President Donald Trump speaks to reporters as he arrives for dinner with House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) at Trump International Golf Club, in West Palm Beach, Fla., Jan. 14, 2018. Trump told reporters outside the club, “I’m not a racist. I’m the least racist person you will ever interview, that I can tell you,” and insisted that the derogatory comment attributed to him during an Oval Office meeting on immigration last week did not occur.
