2. SOUNDBITE (English) Donald Trump, US President:
"I have no idea about the Mueller report. I'm going to Florida. We have meetings with the five Caribbean leaders. That'll be at Mar a Lago. We have a lot of other meetings set up for this weekend on trade. We have a lot of talks with China and a lot of things are happening, we'll be doing it from Florida. And a lot of very important things are happening.
(Reporter question: You said Democrats are anti-Israel and that they're anti-Jewish. They're all skipping AIPAC conference next week but you're not going, as well?)
The Democrats have very much proven to be anti-Israel. There's no question about that. And it's a disgrace. I mean, I don't know what's happened to them but they are totally anti-Israel. Frankly I think they are anti-Jewish."
3. Cutaway of Trump walking on South Lawn as reporters shout questions
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Donald Trump, US President:
"(Reporter question: Are you telling your staff not to comply?)
It's just a continuation of the same witch hunt. They know it. And behind closed doors, they laugh at it. It's just a continuation of the same nonsense, everybody knows. They ought to go to work, get infrastructure done and get a lot of other things done instead of wasting everybody's time."
5. Cutaway of reporters

"We'll see what happens. It's going to be very interesting but we'll see what happens. There was no collusion. There was no obstruction. Everybody knows it. It's all a big hoax. I call it the witch hunt. It's all a big hoax. We'll see what happens. I know that the attorney general, highly respected, ultimately will make a decision.
(Reporter question) There won't be and if there is it will only play to our advantage."
