“He said he didn't meddle. He said he didn't meddle. I asked him again. You can only ask so many times,” Trump told reporters Saturday.
“But I just asked him again, and he said he absolutely did not meddle in our election," he continued. "He did not do what they're saying he did.”
The problem is, the CIA released a declassified report stating Putin did meddle in the 2016 election. As a result, the CIA released a statement contradicting Trump that says:
"The director [Mike Pompeo] stands by and has always stood by the January 2017 intelligence community assessment entitled: 'Assessing Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent U.S. Elections.' The intelligence assessment with regard to Russian election meddling has not changed,” a spokesperson for the agency said when contacted by The Hill.
In other words, the CIA says Trump is a liar, and Russia did meddle in the 2016 election to help Trump.
