With the White House struggling to contain the controversy over this week’s Helsinki summit, President Trump now says for the first time in office that he blames Russian President Vladimir Putin for interfering in the 2016 election. The president told CBS News he told Putin to stop meddling, just a few hours after apparently questioning U.S. intelligence assessments that Russia is still doing it. “CBS Evening News” anchor Jeff Glor asked Mr. Trump directly if he held Putin personally responsible.
