US President Donald Trump has dismissed Robert Mueller's investigation and ongoing talks about a proposed border wall in a New York Times interview.
What did Trump say about the border wall?
"I'll continue to build the wall, and we'll get the wall finished," the president said, dismissing the continuing talks aimed at solving the impasse in Congress and implying he could declare a national emergency to ensure the barrier is built. Trump has sought $5.7 billion (£4.4bn) for a wall on the southern border. The Democrats refuse to provide it, arguing it is immoral and ineffective. The divide led to the longest government shutdown in US history, which will resume on 15 February if no budget can be agreed. Trump slammed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in the interview over the border wall. "I've actually always gotten along with her, but now I don't think I will any more," he said. "I think she's doing a tremendous disservice to the country."Pelosi told reporters on Thursday there would be no money for a wall in planned border security legislation. (BBC)
