President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he did not remember asking the former acting director of the FBI who he voted for in the 2016 presidential election, amid ongoing questions about whether the president improperly sought a leader for the agency who would be loyal to him and his administration.
The Washington Post first reported Tuesday that Trump asked Andrew McCabe how he voted during a White House meeting last May, shortly after the president fired FBI Director James Comey. According to the report, which cites "several current and former U.S. officials" and has since been confirmed by ABC News via a source familiar with the encounter, McCabe responded he did not vote in the election. The story also says Trump fumed over McCabe's wife, who lost a bid for Virginia state senate in 2015, having been supported by a political action committee with ties to a friend of Hillary Clinton.
The Post cited a U.S. official as saying McCabe found Trump's questions "disturbing."
"I don't think I did," Trump said Wednesday when asked about the report. "I don't know what's the big deal with that. I saw that this morning. I don't remember asking him that question. I also think it's a very unimportant question, but I don't remember asking him the question."

2. The screening test does not catch people until their mental impairments are extremely obvious to everyone around them. (My spouse, with a diagnosis, who is taking two Alzheimer's meds, routinely passes the screening tests.)
