President Trump held an impromptu news conference on the White House lawn Friday morning, during which he said he'd "largely solved" the North Korea problem, President Obama lost Crimea, his former campaign manager Paul Manafort had nothing to do with his campaign and a Justice Department inspector general's report Thursday "totally" exonerated him in the Russia investigation.

NBC senior politics editor Beth Fouhy (@bfouhy) and NPR White House reporter Ayesha Rascoe (@ayesharascoe) join Here & Now's Robin Young and Jeremy Hobson to discuss.

This segment aired on June 15, 2018.
