Trump: Obama didn't warn about Russia before election because 'it is all a big hoax'
By Emily Birnbaum - 07/22/18 07:25 PM EDT
President Trump on Sunday blamed his predecessor for the response to Russian election interference in 2016, which he appeared to call "a big hoax."
"So President Obama knew about Russia before the Election," Trump tweeted. "Why didnt he do something about it? Why didnt he tell our campaign?"
"Because it is all a big hoax, thats why, and he thought Crooked Hillary was going to win!!!"

The statement follows Trump's insistence this week that he believes Russian operatives sought to interfere in the recent election.
Trump faced widespread pushback last week following a joint press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin, during which Trump appeared to cast doubt on the Kremlin's interference in the 2016 election. Trump said Putin was "extremely strong and powerful in his denial" of Russian meddling, and added he didn't see a reason why it "would" be Russia.
