I heard him interviewed on CNN, and this is what he said:

(CNN)Sen. Chuck Schumer, the incoming Democratic Senate leader, said Tuesday that President-elect Donald Trump told him he liked him more than Republican leaders in Congress.

But the New York Democrat told CNN's Dana Bash he would remain skeptical of Trump's effort to "flatter" him.

"When you get to be in my position, people do tend to want to flatter you and you've got to take it with a grain of salt," Schumer said.

The New York Post reported Sunday that Trump told Schumer, who supported Hillary Clinton, that he liked him more than Republicans such as House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Asked by Bash about the report, Schumer acknowledged, "He said something close to it."
