"On Wednesday, April 14, Trump appeared on FAUX Noise with conservative host Sean Hannity. As the network shared images of body bags sprawled on the ground in Ukraine following Russia's invasion, the former president said, "I knew Putin very well. Almost as well as I know you, Sean."
He continued, "I will tell you, we talked about it, we talked about it a lot, he did want Ukraine, but I said, 'You're not going into Ukraine.' He would never, ever have gone into Ukraine."
Later in the segment, Hannity asked the former president if he would denounce Putin and if he believes the Russian authoritarian's actions are "evil."
"I asked you the last time you were on, whether you think that this is evil in our time," Hannity said. "Do you believe this is evil in our time?"
Instead of offering a direct answer to Hannity's question, Trump simply pivoted into a distorted rant about the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). "Don't forget, I rebuilt NATO," Trump falsely claimed."
