Less than a day after getting an intelligence report on Russia's alleged cyberattack to interfere with the presidentail election, President-elect Donald Trump asserted that the U.S. will benefit from a better relationship with Russia and that the hacking is an issue only because Democrats are 'totally embarrassed' by their election loss.
Trump posted a series of tweets on Russia this morning.
Trump did agree with at least one aspect of the report. The report specifies that there is no indication that Russian actors directly interfered with vote counts but does indicate that there were a number of other ways that they got involved in the presidential race between Trump and Clinton.
“Intelligence stated very strongly there was absolutely no evidence that hacking affected the election results. Voting machines not touched!” Trump tweeted Saturday morning.
The real estate developer turned president-elect, who has publicly praised Russia's president, defended his rapport with Putin in additional posts on Twitter.
"Having a good relationship with Russia is a good thing, not a bad thing. Only 'stupid' people, or fools, would think that it is bad!" Trump tweeted Saturday morning.
"When I am President, Russia will respect us far more than they do now," he wrote in a following tweet.
