Trump Says Russian Meddling Had No Impact on 2016 Election
----------------------------------------------------------

All this comes as Trump insisted Tuesday that Russian interference had
no impact on the 2016 election. This is Trump, speaking during a news
conference with the Swedish prime minister.

President Donald Trump: "Well, the Russians had no impact on our votes
whatsoever. But certainly there was meddling, and probably there was
meddling from other countries and maybe other individuals. And I think
you have to be really watching very closely. You don't want your system
of votes to be compromised in any way. And we won't allow that to
happen. We're doing a very, very deep study, and we're coming out with
some, I think, very strong suggestions on the '18 election. I think
we're going to do very well in the '18 election."
