Former President Jimmy Carter suggested Friday that a full investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election would show that Donald Trump didn't win the presidency.
"There's no doubt that the Russians did interfere in the election. And I think the interference, although not yet quantified, if fully investigated would show that Trump didn't actually win the election in 2016. He lost the election and he was put into office because the Russians interfered on his behalf," Carter said at the Carter Center's retreat in Leesburg, Virginia.
Asked if he believes Trump is an illegitimate president, Carter paused for a moment.
"Based on what I just said, which I can't retract," Carter said to audience laughter.
Special counsel Robert Mueller's report found that Russia waged a "sweeping and systematic" influence campaign during the 2016 election with the goal of electing Trump, but did not establish a conspiracy between Trump's campaign and Moscow.
Until now, the former one-term Democratic president had shared a warmer relationship with the current President more than Trump has had with any other living president.

Jimmy Carter lost his ability to think or reason just before his first presidential election (which he won). The search for his mind continues. Slowly. Very slowly.
The useless POS has eaten way too many peanuts.
I’m surprised he’s even still alive.
No unlike Stanley Ann Dunham’s little b-d boy, President Trumps parents were married...
Thanks, Jimmuh. We couldn’t have made it without your 2 cents. Now go finish your tapioca pudding.
I suggest that peanut chomping sack of crap STFU
This is all on the Clintons. All of it. She is still lashing out for losing even though it was her turn.
Well, Jimmah is most definitely an illegitimate Christian.
I am ashamed to say that I voted for that fool. Then a friend gave me Gilder’s “Wealth and Poverty” and I’ve been conservative ever since.
Still amazes me that an Evangelical, ostensibly born again Christian like Carter could align himself with the Pro-death anti-Israel,demon filled party.
Young enlisted can do that, real Academy graduates don't, IMO.
The former president who suffers from chemo brain
I’m ashamed that I served under him in the Army for 2 1/2 years before Reagan was elected.
What’s this anti-Semite mumbling about now?
President Trump’s going to be a 2-term president, whether Carter thinks he’s illegitimate or not.
Captain Malaise will most likely be dead before Trump’s out of office.
At least Trump isn’t terrified of rabbits.
So pathetic. They used to go to a dementia ridden Barry Goldwater for negative comments about Republicans. Now they go to a dementia ridden one term disaster of a President.
I couldn’t care less what he thinks about anything.
It’s weird how Democrats keep saying this but say how it happened. How are they going to stop it from happening again if they can’t say how it was done?
Do we have Democrats confessing that Russians made them vote for Trump?
