Just when we thought the matter was getting clearer, it isn't.NYT:Russia Is No Longer Targeting the U.S., Trump Says, Contradicting His Own Intelligence Director
WASHINGTON — President Trump said on Wednesday that Russia was no longer targeting the United States, contradicting his own intelligence chief and just a day after promising that his administration was working to prevent Kremlin interference in the upcoming midterm elections.
Mr. Trump’s comments were the latest in a dizzying collection of conflicting statements from Mr. Trump since he emerged from a private meeting with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia on Monday in Helsinki, Finland. And they directly contradict assertions from Dan Coats, the director of national intelligence, who has repeatedly said that Russia continues to try to interfere with American democracy.
So, unless "No Longer" really means "Longer," Swampy is back to backing Putin's story again.
