'I Don't Care': Trump Responds To Intel That Russia Is Working To Get Him Elected Again

Donald Trump shrugged off the latest intelligence warning Friday that Russia is “denigrating” presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden to get Trump elected again.

“I don’t care what anybody says,” Trump responded to the new information.

The Kremlin is using a “range of measures” to “denigrate” and “undermine” Biden as Russian officials maneuver again to interfere in the U.S. presidential election, William Evanina, director of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center, said in a statement released Friday. “Kremlin-linked actors are also seeking to boost President Trump’s candidacy on social media and Russian television,” the statement added.

Evanina also warned that pro-Russia Ukrainian parliamentarian Andriy Derkach , the son of a former KGB officer, “is spreading claims about corruption — including through publicizing leaked phone calls — to undermine ... Biden’s candidacy and the Democratic Party.” Derkach has met with Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, and the two speak often. Derkach has also reportedly fed suspect information to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.).
