Trump continues to add more reason to question his integrity as today has chosen to believe Russia over the analysis of his own intelligence agencies in whether Russia interfered with the 2016 election.
“I’m just going to tell him we didn’t do it,” Putin must have said to incredulous staffers. Well, it seems to have worked.
Instead, Trump — standing alongside Russian President Vladimir Putin — touted Putin’s vigorous denial and pivoted to complaining about the Democratic National Committee’s server and missing emails from Hillary Clinton’s personal account.
“I have great confidence in my intelligence people, but I will tell you that President Putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today,” Trump said during a joint news conference following his summit with Putin.
