CBS News reports:
President Trump said Thursday that he doesn’t know the two business associates of his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani who were arrested on campaign finance charges, but acknowledged he may have been photographed with them at some point.
“I don’t know those gentleman. Now, it’s possible I have a picture with them because I have a picture with everybody,” Trump told reporters on the South Lawn of the White House. “I don’t know them, I don’t know about them, I don’t know what they do,” Trump added. “I don’t know, maybe they were clients of Rudy’s. You’d have to ask Rudy.”
A photograph of Trump smiling with Giuliani and the businessmen, Igor Fruman and Lev Parnas, has been published by various news outlets. Trump acknowledged Thursday that he may have been photographed with the two men at a fundraiser.

The two guys arrested today, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman gave so much money to Trump Super PAC it apparently led to them having a meal with Don Trump Jr. Be it Trump Tower with Russians to get dirt on Hillary or meeting them to get Joe Biden, for some reason Don Jr is there. pic.twitter.com/hc61OovSLS

Trump’s rationale for being in photos with two Giuliani associates who have been charged with campaign-finance crimes is that he’s in photos with everyone, so none of them are actually incriminating pic.twitter.com/tZFRFr5PV2
