Trump told the press a few minutes ago that the story that came out yesterday about Trump wanting a moat with alligators and snakes at the border, as well as a spike fence, is completely untrue.
(It’s cued up to 31:36 where this begins):
If you are in a hurry want the really truncated version, here’s a tweet from Trump on this today:
Now the press is trying to sell the fact that I wanted a Moat stuffed with alligators and snakes, with an electrified fence and sharp spikes on top, at our Southern Border. I may be tough on Border Security, but not that tough. The press has gone Crazy. Fake News!

Trump also called on Adam Schiff to resign:
President Trump on Rep. Adam Schiff: "He should resign from office in disgrace and frankly they should look at him for treason, 'cause he is making up the words of the President of the United States."

And said the whistleblower should be protected IF the whistleblower is legitimate:
"They’re trying to hide what maybe is coming. I let our great, uh, if you look — I let our great law enforcement take care of it, okay?" @realDonaldTrump calls for the whistleblower to be protected "if the whistleblower is legitimate." pic.twitter.com/QKGThurCy7
