“My people came to me, [Director of National Intelligence] Dan Coats came to me and some others saying they think it’s [election interference] 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.”
Maybe it's just me, but siding with the guy heading the nation that dumps huge amounts of money into disinformation campaigns, runs interference in elections the world over rather than our own intel personnel comes across as sus.
