Russia: Trump agrees with Putin and thinks election hacking claims are exaggerated




Donald Trump did raise the subject of Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election during his one-on-one meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday — but Putin still steadfastly denied any role in hacking either the DNC or former Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta.

After the meeting, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told reporters that Trump had told Putin he believed that “some circles in the US are exaggerating the topic of Russian cyber meddling,” according to Guardian reporter Alec Luhn.
