Trump believes Ukraine interfered in 2016 election because Putin told him so: report
Former White House officials say President Donald Trump said he believes an unfounded conspiracy theory that Ukraine interfered with the 2016 election instead of Russia because Vladimir Putin “told me” so, according to a new Washington Post report.
According to the Post, a number of former White House officials believe Trump is basing his belief off of what Putin has told him personally, as is evident in his staunch defense that Russia isn’t responsible for a 2016 hack into the Democratic National Committee. Putin, 67, defended Trump, 73, on Thursday when he was asked about the U.S. commander-in-chief becoming just the third president in American history to be impeached.
Both Putin and the Russian government have been the main focus throughout Trump’s presidency, as the FBI led an extended probe into the 2016 election and whether Trump’s victory was aided by Russian influence on American voters.Trump being removed from office over his impeachment charges hinges on a trial in the Republican-controlled Senate early next year.
