Trump Defends Pursuit of Russia Deal in 2016 as ‘Very Legal’

President Donald Trump listens on a translation device as President Mauricio Macri of Argentina speaks at the start of a bilateral meeting on the first day of the G-20 summit, at the Casa Rosada in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Nov. 30, 2018. Trump woke up in balmy Buenos Aires early Friday, but his mind was back in Washington as he defended his decision to continue pursuing business deals as he ran for president in 2016, including looking “lightly” at constructing a building in Russia.
