President Trump clarified his comments Sunday on whether he believes Russia meddled in the U.S. 2016 presidential election, saying, "I believe in our intel agencies."
Trump had told reporters on Air Force One Saturday that he believes Russian President Vladimir Putin when he says he didn't meddle in the election.
Every time he sees me he says, I didnt do that, and I really believe that when he tells me that, he means it," Trump said Saturday.
The comment quickly became the subject of backlash, prompting Trump to clarify the comments in a joint press conference with Vietnam President Tran Dai Quang on Sunday morning local time.

(2,900 posts)Multiple agencies; up to and including the Mueller investigation have said that they have reasonable suspicion to believe that Russian intervention in the 2016 elections is credible; worth looking into.
