Donald Trump doubled down and backtracked at the same time in regards to his statement that he would take dirt on opponents from foreign entities.

When talking to George Stephanopolous on ABC, Trump emphatically stated he would NOT tell the FBI if he was offered information on opponents. His exact words were “you don’t call the FBI.” Today on Fox News, while still saying he’d listen to “bad” information from a foreign government, he said, “but of course you give it to the FBI.” For those keeping track that is the opposite of what he told ABC.

Trump on foreign dirt: "Of course you have to look at it because, if you don't look at it, you're not going to know if it's bad. How are you going to know if it's bad?"

The Fox & Friends anchors agreed with Trump’s rambling answer, but it left a lot of people infuriated.

I realize it's a frequent refrain now, but today's appearance with the giggling couch tumors would've ENDED the career of any other politician. Ended it. The erratic, spastic defensiveness; the further confession he'd "look at" foreign dirt first… Over.https://t.co/Xvn9TusLzn — Bob Cesca (@bobcesca_go) June 14, 2019
