Trump admits that there was Russian help with those words, and takes them back a very short time later. But he did tweet those 12 words. That is all there is. He cannot really take them back. He said it for all to see. Trump wrote it and tweeted it. There it is.

A U.S. judge ordered prosecutors to make public a transcript of a voicemail from someone trying dissuade former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn from fully cooperating with Special Counsel Robert Muellers investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
Handed over to Muellers team during the probe, the message was one of several in which Flynn or his lawyers were contacted by people linked to the Trump administration and Congress, according to court papers made public Thursday.
Flynn told the government about a number of contacts that could have affected both his willingness to cooperate and the completeness of his cooperation, U.S. Attorneys Brandon Van Grack and Zainab Ahmad said in an unsealed filing prepared for Flynns sentencing last December.
On Thursday, Sullivan ordered transcripts of the phone message and of Flynns conversations with Russian officials to be posted on the courts publicly-available electronic docket by May 31.He also ordered that unredacted portions of the Mueller report related to Flynn be handed over to him.

For what appears to be the first time, President Donald Trump acknowledged on Thursday morning that he had been elected president with the help of the Russian government.
Russia, Russia, Russia! Trump tweeted. Thats all you heard at the beginning of this Witch Hunt Hoax And now Russia has disappeared because I had nothing to do with Russia helping me to get elected.
But barely 20 minutes later, as Trump was heading out on a trip to the United States Air Force Academy, he denied what he had just said. Russia did not help me get elected, he said to reporters. You know who got me elected? I got me elected. .
