Trump Reverses Course Again, Calling Russian Election Meddling a Hoax

HeadlineJul 23, 2018

This comes as President Trump once again reversed his position on whether Russia interfered in the 2016 election. After returning to Washington following a weekend spent golfing at his New Jersey resort, Trump tweeted that reports of Russian meddling were “all a big hoax.” Trump’s latest reversal came after he tried to walk back his remark, made at his summit earlier this month with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki, that he didn’t see any reason why Russia would have meddled in the 2016 election.
