Trump Says Russia
is No Longer Targeting US Asked by reporters on Wednesday if Russia was still targeting the United States, Trump shook his head and said, "No." The statement contradicts U.S. intelligence assessments that Russia is continuing its attempts to meddle in American elections. They say Russian efforts are now targeting the upcoming congressional elections in November. U.S. Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, via Reuters Trump has been scrambling to undo the damage from  comments he made on Monday. During the Russia summit, Trump bowed to Russian President Vladimir Putin's denials of U.S. elections meddling. He did so over the conclusions of American intelligence services.
