WATCH: Trump gets caught up in his own lie after just 8 minutes

On Friday afternoon, North Korean dignitaries met with Donald Trump to deliver a mysterious letter from the North Korean regime.

A while later, Donald Trump held a press conference, where in the course of under ten minutes changed his story about the letter.

Reuters reported that Trump had said the letter "was a very nice letter, a very interesting letter." Around 8 minutes later—according to the Reuters time stamp—Trump confessed that he hadn't opened it yet.

On Twitter, the Toronto Star's Washington correspondent Daniel Dale joked "The Trump era in two Reuters alerts."
