President Trump says he never said anything derogatory about Haitians at a bipartisan immigration meeting.
In a tweet Friday, he said Haiti is a very poor and troubled country, but he never said “take them out.”
The president said he has a wonderful relationship with Haitians, and the alleged comments were made-up by Democrats.
The president added, he should record future meetings because of the lack of trust.
