Sports pundit and political commentator Stephen A. Smith recounted what he said was a four-hour dinner with comedian Bill Maher and President Donald Trump, hosted at the White House on Thursday night.

“Essentially, it amounted to what I consider to be a very substantive evening,” Smith said. “We were there for over four hours in the White House. And Donald Trump did not run from any question. He answered every single question. He was very, very defiant with any criticism that came in his direction or any disagreement. But as Kid Rock went on Fox News on Friday morning and articulated, it was a pleasant meeting. It was respectful.”
