Trump Tweets Russia Might Try to Sway 2018 Elections for Dems The tweet comes a week after the Russia summit when Trump said he didn't see why it would have been the Russians who meddled in the <br />2016 election. The next day he backtracked saying he meant to say he didn't see why it wouldn't have been <br />the Russians. The following day, when asked by a reporter if he believes that Russia is still targeting the U.S., the President responded, "No." The White House press secretary later explained that Trump's " no" meant that he was not responding to questions. Trump offered no evidence for his claim that the Russians will attempt to help Democrats win in the 2018 elections.
