"I don't want to talk about pardons for Michael Flynn yet. We'll see," Mr. Trump told reporters.

Tax plan

Mr. Trump expressed confidence that congressional Republicans will pass a tax overhaul plan next week.

"I think we'll be in a position to pass something as early next week," he said, despite the fact that Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, remains opposed to the final agreement unless it further expands the Child Tax Credit, and as Sens. John McCain, R-Arizona, and Thad Cochran, R-Mississippi, deals with health problems.

Putin call

The president was asked to speak about his phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday.

"It was great, he said very nice things about what I've done with this country in terms of the economy but he also said some negative things in terms of what's going on elsewhere," he said.

The president insisted that there has been "absolutely no collusion" between his campaign and Russia in the 2016 election.
