Republican front-runner Donald Trump claimed during Tuesday's GOP debate that he met Vladimir Putin during a taping of "60 Minutes," and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina claimed she also met the Russian president, but "not in a green room for a show."
However, Trump didn't actually meet Putin during the taping of a recent "60 Minutes" interview, and despite her claim Tuesday night, Fiorina appears to have met the Russian President in a "green room-type setting."
Trump's claim that he had met Putin during a "60 Minutes" interview came Tuesday evening as he assured the Fox Business moderators that he is best suited to handle the Russian president because he has a personal relationship with him.
"We were stablemates on '60 Minutes' and that went pretty well," the real estate mogul said, explaining that they first met while sitting in the same green room.
