Ahead of a crucial meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, President Donald Trump stopped short Thursday of condemning Moscow for meddling in the U.S. presidential election — and refused to say if he would raise the issue when the leaders go behind closed doors.
But what's interesting is what followed. Trump said:
"We urge Russia to cease its destabilizing activities in Ukraine and elsewhere, and its support for hostile regimes, including Syria and Iran, and to join the community of responsible nations in our fight against common enemies and in defense of civilization itself."
But when asked if Russia hacked the election, Trump said "Nobody really knows for sure."
Which means Trump is not willing to admit Russia hacked the election even though Russia did hack it because then he would have to admit he did collude and he didn't win.
