Trump Admits Russia Was 'Helping Me To Get Elected' In 2016 But Denies It Minutes Later

In a stunning admission on Thursday, Donald Trump said on Twitter that Russians who interfered with the 2016 presidential contest between him and Hillary Clinton were 'helping me get elected' – but he walked that statement back minutes later.

'Russia did not get me elected. You know who got me elected? You know who got me elected? I got me elected,' the president told reporters at the White House, pointing a finger back at this own face.
