Pressed for details, the far right British MP and close confidant to Donald Trump said he "wasn't sure" whether or not he in fact visited the Wikileaks founder in the Ecuadorian Embassy several hours ago, noting that it is extremely hard for anyone to keep track of people and conversations they may have had "dozens and dozens and dozens of minutes ago."
Details at Eleven.

SNL doesn't even need a script any more. THey could just speak the actual words of the person they are playing.

A source close to Mr Farage confirmed to The Independent that the Ukip politician was at the embassy to visit Mr Assange.
Mr Farage, who reportedly stayed in the building for 40 minutes, was photographed emerging from the embassy, which is near the Harrods department store, accompanied by the producer of his LBC Radio programme, Christian Mitchell.
He initially told the BuzzFeed News website that he could not remember what he had been doing inside the building, adding: I never discuss where I go or who I see.

In a move that will likely spark further allegations of political partiality by the Wikileaks founder, BuzzFeed reports Nigel Farage visited the Ecuadorian embassy in west London on Thursday which is the location of the self-exiled Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, where he has been living since he claimed asylum in 2012.
Ecuador granted Assange asylum almost five years ago to prevent him being deported to Sweden to be questioned over sexual assault allegations. The Wikileaks founder has been stranded there ever since, with British police keeping the building under close surveillance.
The former UKIP leader spent around 40 minutes in the building and left at noon, accompanied by an aide. It is difficult to envision what Farage may have done in the embassy aside from visit its famous exiled resident.
When asked by BuzzFeed News for the reason for his visit as he left to get into a car, Farage said he couldnt remember what he was doing in the building. Asked specifically if he had gone to the Knightsbridge building to meet with Assange, Farage said: I never discuss where I go or who I see.
