Trump defends choice for acting AG, but also says he doesn't know him
Trump said Friday he has not spoken to acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker about the Russia investigation, which Whitaker has criticized but now oversees.
Trump defended Whitaker as a "very well respected man in the law enforcement community" but claimed he does not know him personally.
"I didn't speak to Matt Whitaker about it. I don't know Matt Whitaker," Trump told reporters at the White House before leaving for a trip to Paris.
Whitaker, who formerly served as chief of staff to ousted Attorney General Jeff Sessions, reportedly met with Trump roughly a dozen times in the Oval Office.
