Updated 2:41 p.m.| Members of Congress who were in the meeting when President Donald Trump referred to Haiti and African nations as “shithole countries” have different memories of what happened.

The Washington Post reported that Trump asked Thursday why “all these people from shithole countries” were coming to the United States, alluding to Haiti and countries in Africa.

The White House did not initially deny the remarks but Trump later denied using the controversial words in a tweet.

Below are the responses from members who were in the meeting.

Senate Minority Whip Richard J. Durbin confirmed that he heard Trump make the remarks he said were “were hate-filled, vile and racist.” The Illinois Democrat said, “I cannot believe that in the history of the White House, in that Oval Office, any president has ever spoken words that I personally heard our president speak yesterday.”
