Interviewer: Your campaign this time around: if foreigners, if Russia, if China, if someone else offers you information on an opponent, should they accept it or should they call the FBI?
President Trump: I think maybe you do both. I think you might want to listen. I don't - there's anything wrong with listening. If somebody called, from a country, Norway, we have information on your opponent, oh, I think I'd want to hear it.
Interviewer: You want that kind of interference in our election?
President Trump: It's not an interference, they have information. I think I'd take it. If I thought there was something wrong I'd go maybe to the FBI, if I thought there was something wrong.
