Flight records appear to disprove Trump’s ‘pee tape’ alibi and everyone is making the same joke

Donald Trump’s trip to Moscow in 2013 has been embroiled in controversy, but flight records shed yet more light on the trip.

Bloomberghas obtained flight records of the then property mogul’s travel to Russia for the Miss Universe Pageant.

James Comey has alleged that the US president twice told him that reports that h hired prostitutes to urinate on a bed that had once been slept in by Barack Obama was nothing more than “fake news", instead claiming that he never stayed overnight in Moscow.

Flight records, however, reportedly show that Trump flew to Moscow on a Bombardier Global 5000 private jet that landed on 8 November 2013 and departed early10 November.

This is important to note, because when the Christopher Dossier came to light, one of main defences of the US president was that the existence of the “pee tape” was false because he never spent a night in Russia. He also claimed he was a "germaphobe".

In Comey’s memos, the former FBI director says Trump told him he:

arrived in the morning, did events, then showered and dressed for the pageant at the hotel and left for the pageant. Afterwards, he returned only to get his things because they departed for New York by plane that same night.

But the US president appeared to contradict his own claim. A look at his tweet about the trip in 2013 sees him thank the pageant’s host Aras Agalarov for a “great weekend” in Moscow.

The flight report has cast fresh doubt over the alleged existence of a 'pee tape', and people on Twitter quickly returned to it - injecting some humour into the story.

Everyone appears to be changing 'the pee tape is real'.

The jokes flowed fast.
