Cohen backs up intelligence community after Trump casts doubt on Russian meddling
BY MAX GREENWOOD - 07/16/18 07:43 PM EDT
President Trump's former personal attorney Michael Cohen delivered a veiled criticism on Monday of the president's challenge to the U.S. intelligence community's conclusion that Russia interfered in the 2016 election.
The embattled former Trump confidant tweeted a quote from a previous interview he did with ABC's George Stephanopoulos backing up the intelligence community's assessment that Moscow sought to sow chaos and division in the U.S. during the 2016 presidential race with the intention of helping Trump.
As I said to @ABC @GStephanopoulos, I respect our nations intelligence agencies who determined that Russia, had in fact, interfered or meddled in our democratic process. I repudiate Russias effort...and call on all Americans to do the same.

Cohen's tweet came hours after Trump in a joint press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin cast doubt on whether Russia meddled in the election. He acknowledged that top intelligence officials had told him so, but noted that Putin had denied such activities.

(9,426 posts)agencies were insulted by tRump. All the other countries who gave information to the US have now been maligned. Did tRump inform Vlad about which countries they were? Pretty soon, Russia will be the ONLY country willing to even speak to the USA. Maybe that is what tRump and his fellow traitors in the gop want?
