'Let's look into Obama the way they've looked at me,' Trump told reporters. 'Let's subpoena all of his records.'
John Fritze and David JacksonWASHINGTON – Lashing out at probes into his 2016 campaign and Russian election interference, President Donald Trump said Friday that investigators ought to look into a book deal signed by former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama.
Though Trump didn't elaborate, he appeared to be referencing reports that the Obamas secured a $60 million advance for one book written each by Michelle and Barack Obama. The former first lady's book,"Becoming," was published last year and quickly became a best seller. Trump said his administration reached a"safe third country" agreement with Guatemala designed to reduce the number of migrants claiming asylum in the United States. If the agreement is finalized, migrants who cross into Guatemala en route to the United States would have to apply for asylum there instead of the U.S.
Trump said he had spoken by phone with the new British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Trump described Johnson, a key figure in the U.K'.'s expected break with the European Union, as a friend."I predict he will be a great prime minister," Trump said.
