Fox Business host Neil Cavuto said Tuesday President Trump Donald John TrumpUS reimposes UN sanctions on Iran amid increasing tensions Jeff Flake: Republicans 'should hold the same position' on SCOTUS vacancy as 2016 Trump supporters chant 'Fill that seat' at North Carolina rally MORE could “look like a hero” if he worked to prevent future Russian election interference, but warned Trump he needed to “stop making it about yourself.”

“No one in their right mind is questioning that the Russians were involved, and by the same token, very few of those individuals even were remotely suggesting it changed the outcome,” Cavuto said on Fox Business Network’s “Cavuto Coast to Coast.”

“He can feel [like] ‘I’m president of the United States, I’m leader of the free world, and I have to make sure that the Russians don’t do to us what they tried to do in 2016 and screw us up.' And he can look like a hero."

Cavuto’s guest, Phillip Wegmann, agreed, calling the issue “low-hanging fruit” for Trump.

“This is something that is a no-loss scenario for him, if he treats this issue seriously — that would require him to get on the same page with his officials,” Wegmann said. “But if he does that, then I think he can bolster himself and his party, and maybe begin to put all of this behind him.”

“Just stop making it about yourself,” Cavuto said of Trump. “Me, me, me.”

The Fox host joked that "Never Trumpers" would “start coming at me fast furious” for the remark.

“But it’s true,” Cavuto said. “It’s our country, damn it.”

Cavuto’s remarks follow the latest round of indictments in special counsel Robert Mueller Robert (Bob) MuellerCNN's Toobin warns McCabe is in 'perilous condition' with emboldened Trump CNN anchor rips Trump over Stone while evoking Clinton-Lynch tarmac meeting The Hill's 12:30 Report: New Hampshire fallout MORE’s investigation into Russian election interference.

Thirteen Russian nationals and three Russian groups were charged last week with multiple counts for their attempts to interfere in the 2016 election.

In a tweet following the release of the indictments, Trump claimed the indictment showed his campaign “did nothing wrong” and that there was “no collusion” with Russia.



Trump also blamed former President Obama for Russia’s interference in the 2016 election, accusing him of not wanting to “rock the boat” and claiming he has been tougher on Russia than Obama.

Trump has repeatedly cast doubt on Russian interference in the 2016 election, calling it a “hoax” crafted by Democrats. He’s also labeled Mueller’s investigation as a “witch hunt.”
