From the transcript
The president drove through the reflecting pool, apparently. Sir, I stand by my statement that the U.S. Park Police operated and conducted their business of defending, protecting this city in an appropriate manner. There was no malfeasance, nor was there any political motivation to it. And furthermore, sir, as you know, this is an ongoing investigation, and consequently I'm not in a position to share that information publicly. But once it is available publicly, I'm happy to meet with you.
