President Trump answered questions about Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election in a news conference in Warsaw on July 6. Our intelligence agencies have long insisted that Russia engaged in active, multifaceted efforts to tip the election to Trump. Surely Trump does not intend to duplicate a performance on Obama’s part that he derides as feckless, does he? He then excoriated Obama for doing “nothing” in the face of the Obama administration’s own conclusion that Russian meddling was underway. * MAJORITY DISTRUSTS TRUMP ON RUSSIA: A new PBS/NPR/Marist poll finds that 54 percent of Americans believe Trump’s dealings with Russia have been “unethical” or “illegal.” But:Only 4 percent of Republicans think Trump broke the law and another 15 percent said he acted unethically.
