After WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was arrested in London on Thursday for conspiracy to commit computer hacking, as part of a US extradition treaty, a reporter asked President Donald Trump at the White House, “Do you still love WikiLeaks?”

Trump’s response? “I know nothing about WikiLeaks. It’s not my thing.”

Hmmmm. Let’s review the tape.
