Trump Says He's Never Met Russian President After Boasting About Meeting During GOP Debate

Remember last fall during a Republican primary debate Donald Trump told the world how he would have a good relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin because they "were both on '60 Minutes' the same night:

“I got to know him very well because we were both on 60 Minutes. We were stablemates, and we did very well that night,” he said.

Actually, Trump's appearance on 60 Minutes was taped at his NYC home, and Putin's segment was taped in Russia - just saying.
