Trump plays defense after comments about getting dirt from foreign powers

President Trump is playing defense after telling ABC's George Stephanopoulos he'd be open to listening to information from foreign governments that might damage his opponents in the next election, a comment that swiftly drew backlash.

Asked by Stephanopoulos whether he'd take information offered from a foreign government or alert the FBI, Mr. Trump suggested he might do both.

"I think you might want to listen, there isn't anything wrong with listening," Mr. Trump continued. "If somebody called from a country, Norway, [and said,] 'We have information on your opponent' — Oh, I think I'd want to hear it."

On Thursday morning, Mr. Trump made light of the issue by suggesting it would be absurd if he alerted the FBI to every conversation he has with foreign leaders.
