Also, some clarification from Jake Tapper in this tweet thread.
So how and why is President Trump denying the remarks that he reportedly said?

I have some clarifying reporting from a source familiar the meeting. I want to start by saying that this does not make what he said any more acceptable, but it might shed some light on it all. 1/
since only the first tweet is included, I will go on:
Trump only referred to African nations as "shit holes". With regards to Haiti, he said we don't need more Haitians.
Tapper states that this is about making sure what is reported is correct and that obviously not including Haiti in his comments isn't any less awful.
