Is trump ready to admit that his best-friend-forever, Vladimir, lied to him about 'meddling'?
Say it isn't so.
‘He said he didn’t meddle’: Trump talks with Putin about U.S. elections and Syria in brief interactions
HANOI — President Trump said Saturday that Russian President Vladimir Putin again denied that Moscow tampered in the U.S. presidential campaign last year.
The two men had brief conversations during a larger meeting of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Danang, Vietnam, before Trump flew to Hanoi for a bilateral meeting Sunday with Vietnamese leaders.
Trump said that he had “two or three” brief conversations with Putin mostly centered on the war in Syria, but added that he pressed the Russian leader on Moscow’s role in attempting to interfere in the 2016 election.
“He said he didn’t meddle,” Trump said, answering questions in the press cabin on Air Force One. “I asked him again. You can only ask so many times. .?.?. He said he absolutely did not meddle in our election. He did not do what they are saying he did.”
