The U.S. intelligence community has said publicly that it believes Russia was responsible for efforts to meddle in the election and that the operation was directed by Russian President Vladimir Putin. “They were wrong, and it led to a mess.”But Trump did go on to strongly criticize President Barack Obama, claiming he did “nothing” about the election interference. The event marked the first time that President Trump has taken questions during an overseas trip.
