Putin Told Trump That Russian Hackers Were Too Good To Get Caught
According to the New York Times, Russian President Vladimir Putin told President Trump that Russian hackers wouldn’t have gotten caught if they did hack Democratic groups because they’re too skilled at spying.
Trump has since repeated the claim.
His Communications Director Scaramucci told CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday that someone told him that if Moscow hacked the Democratic National Committee, “you would have never seen it.”
Pressed by host Jake Tapper on who told him that, Scaramucci said it was Trump himself.
“As the phony Russian Witch Hunt continues, two groups are laughing at this excuse for a lost election taking hold, Democrats and Russians!” Trump tweeted Sunday.
