President Trump said Tuesday that he misspoke when he said he doesn’t see why Russia would have meddled in the 2016 presidential election, clarifying that he accepts the U.S. intelligence community’s findings of election interference.
At the White House on Tuesday, the president told reporters that he meant he doesn't see why Russia "wouldn't" be responsible.
In Helsinki, speaking at a press conference next to Vladimir Putin a day earlier, Trump had said he doesn't "see any reason why" Russia would be behind election meddling.

He just doesn’t trust WHO WAS RUNNING IT at the time, because they are now proven to be lying liars trying to frame him.
He should have let it go. Just gives the criminals fodder.
Trump is clearly getting tired of dealing with this. He’s at the “Oh, WHATEVER” stage now.
When even Fox News is smash talking the President - you know its bad.
From the transcript this is what Trump said:
“”””TRUMP: So let me just say that we have two thoughts. You have groups that are wondering why the FBI never took the server — haven’t they taken the server. Why was the FBI told to leave the office of the Democratic National Committee?
I’ve been wondering that, I’ve been asking that for months and months and I’ve been tweeting it out and calling it out on social media. Where is the server? I want to know where is the server and what is the server saying?
With that being said, all I can do is ask the question. My people came to me, Dan Coates came to me and some others, they said they think it’s Russia. I have President Putin; he just said it’s not Russia.
I will say this: I don’t see any reason why it would be.
But I really do want to see the server.
But I have — I have confidence in both parties. I — I really believe that this will probably go on for a while, but I don’t think it can go on without finding out what happened to the server. What happened to the servers of the Pakistani gentleman that worked on the DNC? Where are those servers? They’re missing; where are they? What happened to Hillary Clinton’s e-mails? 33,000 e-mails gone — just gone.
I think in Russia they wouldn’t be gone so easily. I think it’s a disgrace that we can’t get Hillary Clinton’s 33,000 e-mails.”””
Not as bad a gaff as “57 States” or many others...
I recommend beach vacation.
Bump!
Of course Russia meddled. All the major nations do it, the USA probably most of all.
Fox News has never been crazy about Trump. Some of the opinion shows have been but not the news division.
what is bad ?
Are you peddling that election hoax media crap here ?
Gay boy Shep Smith run the hard lefty new side was
What? LOL, you must be using your phone!

I’m pretty sure that Tucker - Hannity - Ingraham are still OK. But you are right about much of the rest of Fox.
yes
MSM ignores the server comments.
I sure as hell don’t trust them!
Where’s the proof he was conspiring with Putin to steal the election?
Our national security agencies are still saying Russia tried to steal the election.
There’s not evidence of that whatsoever.
They also tried to tap into the Republican Server.
Does that mean they were trying to steal the election from Trump?
Our agencies are out of control, and Trump had it right yesterday.
Fox News was against Trump until they lost half their audience. Then they went back to being pro Trump until yesterday.
Fox News is controlled opposition. Never forget that.
The Murdock’s do not like Trump. Remember what they were doing to Sean Hannity and how they got rid of Bill O’Reilly.
I understand.
