Earlier this week, the US president claimed that he might not notify the FBI if he receives incriminating information from foreign countries on candidates in the 2020 US presidential election.
In an interview with Fox News, US President Donald Trump backtracked on his earlier statements, stressing that he would definitely report any sensitive information on his opponents to the attorney general or the Federal Bureau of Investigation, if he were to receive such data from a foreign power.
Earlier this year, media reported that House Democrats attempted to subpoena the interpreters who were present at a July meeting in Helsinki between Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
