Trump's claims on Russia hacking tire ex-CIA Director

The former head of America’s intelligence community appears to be getting a little tired of constantly correcting U.S. President Donald Trump’s claims about Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Trump has repeatedly claimed that an American intelligence community assessment that Russia interfered in last year's election is false and while speaking in Poland Thursday said "other countries" could have been involved.

“I think it could very well have been Russia. I think it could well have been other countries. I won’t be specific. But I think a lot of people interfere,” Trump said. “Nobody really knows. Nobody really knows for sure.”

Commenting on the comments during an appearance on CNN with anchor Wolf Blitzer, James Clapper, the former U.S. Director of National Intelligence (DNI), said: “As far as others doing this? Boy, that's news to me. We saw no evidence that there was anyone involved in this other than the Russians."
