Trump admitted Russia helped him get elected. (From a few months ago)

But with the way news travels in recent years I missed it and maybe others did too.

So when they try and say we want to redo the last election perhaps we just want a fair election.


“I had nothing to do with Russia helping me to get elected,” the president tweeted.

"The key part there, just for emphasis, was “I had nothing to do with Russia helping me to get elected.” In other words, “the Kremlin tried to help me win, but I didn’t coordinate with them.”

Just an hour later, though, he told reporters that Russia didn’t have anything to do with helping him win, contradicting his own tweet. “I got me elected. Russia didn’t help me at all,” the president said."

(It might be good to get this into the senate trial)
