Trump insisted during a meandering 50-minute interview that “of course” he would alert the FBI of foreign interference, but only after reviewing it first, “because if you don't look at it, you won't know it's bad”

“Mr. President, I think that’s a good point, but what if a leader leaned over and just said, listen, X candidate that you're running against he did dicey things in XYZ country, and I’ve got some proof of it — what do you do in that scenario, do you back off, do you say I don't need it, do you say show it to me?” he asked.
