“I have nothing to do with Russia. I have — John, John, how many times do I have to say it? Are you a smart man? I have nothing to do with Russia. I have no relationship to Russia whatsoever.” “No debts?” “No debts — I have very little debt to anybody. I don’t deal there. I have no businesses there. I have no loans from Russia. I have nothing to do with Russia, folks. O.K.? I’ll give you a written statement — nothing to do. First of all, I don’t know Putin. Have no business whatsoever with Russia. Have nothing to do with Russia. They said maybe Donald Trump is involved in projects with the Russians. The answer is no, no. So he’s lying about a project that everybody knew about. I mean, we were very open with it.”
