Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump appeared to equate US actions with the authoritarian regime of Russian President Vladimir Putin in an interview released Saturday, saying, "There are a lot of killers. You think our country's so innocent?" Trump made the remark during an interview with Fox News' Bill O'Reilly, saying he respected his Russian counterpart. "But he's a killer," O'Reilly said to Trump. "There are a lot of killers. You think our country's so innocent?" Trump replied. A clip of the exchange was released Saturday and the full interview aired Sunday before the Super Bowl. It was an unusual assertion coming from the President of the United States. Trump himself, however, has made similar points before."There are a lot of killers. You think our country's so innocent?"
