BRETT GIROIR: I don't know the Inspector General. I don't know that person. I tell you one thing I have a problem with. If there was such a problem that she knew about or he knew about on March 23 and 24, why did I find out about the test from them on then on the news media at 8:00 this morning? If there was a problem, I think you're ethically obliged to tell me where that is so that we can interact with it, like I do every single day. But that's a discussion for the future.

I think testing is really in a good position right now and I'm happy to expand on some of the really good tests that are coming up.

DONALD TRUMP: How long has that person been in government?

- She did serve in the previous administration.

DONALD TRUMP: Oh, you didn't tell me that. Oh! I see. You didn't tell me that, John. You didn't tell that. Did serve in the previous admin-- you mean the Obama administration. Thank you for telling me that.

See, there's a typical fake-news deal.

JONATHAN KARL: You asked me when she was appointed.

DONALD TRUMP: Look--

JONATHAN KARL: I told you when she was appointed.

DONALD TRUMP: You're a third-rate reporter, and what you just said is a disgrace, OK? You asked me, you said, "Sir, just got appointed." Take a look at what you said.

Now I said, "When did they-- when did this person-- how long in government?" "Well, it was appointed in the Obama administration."

Thank you very much, John. Thank you very much. You'll never make it.

Go ahead, please.
