Trump Now Accepts Intelligence on Russian Meddling

After the uproar he created yesterday, President Trump said he has full confidence in the U.S. intelligence agencies and accepted the finding that Russia meddled in the election but still said there was no collusion, CBS News reports.

Said Trump: “In a key sentence in my remarks, I said the word would instead of wouldn’t. The sentence should have been: ‘I don’t see any reason why it WOULDN’T be Russia.’ Sort of a double negative. So you can put that in, and I think that probably clarifies things.”

But he added: “I accept our intelligence community’s conclusion that Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election took place. Could be other people also. A lot of people out there.”
