Trump Walks Back Controversial Comments On Russian Election Interference

[Dulcinea]

A day after his much-criticized news conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin, President Trump attempted some damage control Tuesday, saying "I accept" the findings of the U.S. intelligence community that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential campaign.

But he again repeated his claim that there was no collusion between his presidential campaign and Russia and suggested that others may have interfered in the election.

During his news conference along side Putin in Helsinki on Monday, Trump stated he didn't see "any reason" why Russia was responsible for hacking the 2016 election, as U.S. intelligence agencies have found.

The president also said Monday that Putin's denials of interference were "extremely strong and powerful."

1. what a disaster

he knows and everyone knows his loyalty is for putin over the USA, period. This is just more blatant lying from the baby trump. Any republican not switching from the trump party now needs to go , to be overwhelmingly voted out of office . He represents russians, and child abuse, and they have no place in OUR government , period.
