President Donald Trump Tuesday afternoon tried to walk back his disastrous performance in Helsinki during which he announced he support’s President Vladimir Putin’s insistence that Russia did not interfere in the U.S. election.
Trump’s remarks were so damaging that even Fox News hosts denounced them.
The U.S. president just read a statement to reporters, saying he has “full faith and support” in America’s Intelligence agencies and accepts their conclusion that Russia interfered in the election.
But he insisted that Russia’s actions had no impact on the election, which has not been proven.
President Trump also claimed that while Russia interfered, “it could be other people also.”
That’s actually false, per the U.S. Intelligence agencies he says he supports.
“There was no collusion – at all,” Trump claimed, angrily.
