Donald Trump sided with Russian President Vladimir Putin when questioned about Russia's interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
Pres. Trump says intelligence community believes Russia was behind 2016 election interference, but Pres. Putin says Russia was not.

And Trump also delivered this nonsensical lie-filled answer, returning to the election results and his “no collusion” talking points:
"There was no collusion," Pres. Trump says at joint presser with Russian Pres. Putin. "I didn't know the president. There was nobody to collude with."
"We ran a brilliant campaign and that's why I'm president." https://t.co/pnM34fHNdQ pic.twitter.com/rCGsvX0IpV
