President Trump sounded off Tuesday on liberal Supreme Court justices, on CNN's coverage of his administration, on disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein's former allies and more at a lively press conference held at the close of his whirlwind first official visit to India.
The president held court in New Delhi following a tour that included a visit to the iconic Taj Mahal, a rally in front of over 110,000 people with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and a business roundtable earlier Tuesday morning.

He began by addressing a question from Fox News about his overnight Twitter comments saying two Supreme Court justices – Sonia Sotomayor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg – should recuse themselves from cases surrounding his presidency over past comments. He then singled out Sotomayor for particular criticism.
“I just thought it was so inappropriate, such a terrible statement for a Supreme Court justice,” he said. “She’s trying to shame people with perhaps a different view into voting her way, and that’s so inappropriate.”

“Sotomayor accuses GOP appointed Justices of being biased in favor of Trump.” @IngrahamAngle @FoxNews This is a terrible thing to say. Trying to “shame” some into voting her way? She never criticized Justice Ginsberg when she called me a “faker”. Both should recuse themselves..

Sotomayor, who was nominated by former President Barack Obama in 2009, issued the blistering dissent Friday after a ruling in the case of Wolf v. Cook County.
Sotomayor wrote in her dissent, on a case dealing with the Trump administration's expansion of situations where the government can deny visas to non-citizens looking to enter the U.S., that it is troubling how often the administration is running to the Supreme Court for relief from injunctions against its policies, and how often the court is granting Trump's requests.
"It is hard to say what is more troubling," Sotomayor wrote, "that the Government would seek this extraordinary relief seemingly as a matter of course, or that the Court would grant it."
Trump continued Tuesday: "I just don't know how they can not recuse themselves from anything having to do with Trump or Trump-related. The right thing to do is that."
Trump added: "What Justice Sotomayor said yesterday was really highly inappropriate and everybody agrees to that. Virtually everybody. I've seen papers on it, people cannot believe that she said it."

Here is how @POTUS was welcomed in Ahmedabad.
During our first meeting at the White House, @realDonaldTrump told me that India has a friend in the White House. He was absolutely correct!
Together, we will keep working towards deepening bilateral ties between India & USA.

Trump also addressed the potential for Russia meddling in the 2020 election and Harvey Weinstein's rape conviction.
"They went to see Bernie [Sanders] and they told Bernie about something having to do with they want Bernie to win. They did not tell me, intelligence never told me … anything about that and it was sort of a strange thing that they went to Bernie," Trump said, before mentioning reports that the initial claims about 2020 Russian meddling may have been "highly exaggerated" and criticizing the House Intelligence Committee for alleged leaks, blaming Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif.
He later declared: “I want no help from any country, and I haven’t been given help by any country,” before taking shots at CNN reporter Jim Acosta, over a question on the Russia meddling matter.
"Your record is so bad you ought to be ashamed of yourself. You probably have the worst record in the history of broadcasting," Trump charged.

@Acosta to President Trump, after Trump criticizes CNN: "I think our record on delivering the truth is a lot better than yours sometimes, if you don’t mind me saying."

As the two talked over each other, Acosta retorted, "I think our record on delivering the truth is a lot better than yours sometimes, if you don’t mind me saying."
On Weinstein, Trump said of the former Hollywood mogul: "I will say, the people that liked him were the Democrats. Michelle Obama loved him, loved him. Hillary Clinton loved him, and he gave tremendous money to the Democrats. And I guess my question is, will the Democrats be asking for that money back?"
Shortly after, Trump had another exchange with the media in attendance, criticizing one reporter for taking a microphone -
