U.S. President Donald Trump could not let his national security adviser's comments earlier Saturday in front of an international security conference about Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election go unaddressed. McMaster told an audience at the Munich Security Conference that the evidence of Russian meddling in the 2016 American election was beyond dispute. Several hours later, Trump said those comments were incomplete. Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer called on Trump to step up sanctions on Russia in light of the newest revelations. He also said he believed Russian President Vladimir Putin's assurances that he didn't meddle in U.S. affairs.
