Leaked extract from tonight’s presidential address:

“I have made my mistakes, and in all of my years of public life,

I have always profited from public service

I have never earned an honest cent.

And in all years of my public life, I have invariably obstructed justice

And I think, too, that I can say

That in my years of public life, that I reject this kind of examination

Because people have got to know whether or not their President's a crook

Well I am a crook and proud of it.

I'm earned nothing I’ve got. “
