Trump on Friday said he 'learned a lot from Richard Nixon' the corrupt former president who resigned in disgrace.
Donald Trump on Friday morning defended his behavior and comments surrounding the Russia investigation, saying he "learned a lot from Richard Nixon" about how to handle probes into his administration.
"I learned a lot. I study history," Trump said in an interview with "Fox & Friends" referring to what he learned from Nixon's "Saturday Night Massacre," in which Nixon fired Department of Justice officials looking into his handling of the Watergate scandal.
"And the firing of everybody I should've in one way, but I'm glad I didn't because look at the way it turned out. They're all a bunch of crooks and they got caught."
Trump continued, "Of course, there was one difference, one big difference. Number one, he may have been guilty. And number two, he had tapes all over the place. I wasn't guilty. I did nothing wrong, and there are no tapes. But I wish there were tapes in my case."
