President Trump said that instead of focusing on the timing of the indictments of 12 Russian hackers handed out by the special counsel, people should be questioning why former President Barack Obama didn't reveal and prevent Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

“[Obama] was president, and they informed him of it, and he did nothing. See, he thought Hillary [Clinton] was going to win, and then after I won he said, ‘Oh, this is a big deal.’ Well it wasn’t a big deal as long as she won,” Trump told Fox News in an interview that aired Tuesday evening.

Trump supporters believe the timing of the indictments on Friday was fishy since it came before Trump’s first bilateral meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki on Monday.

Trump said that what was more suspicious to him was the way Obama handled the information he had regarding Russian interference in the election.

Trump said even though he knows he can do more to direct the Department of Justice and FBI to take the DNC servers and get to the bottom of it, he wants to stay more hands-off for now.

“Maybe at some point it will be done,” Trump said. “But I’ve wanted to stay out. My Department of Justice is the one branch, the one group, that I’m very little involved with, same with the FBI."

Trump met with Putin following a trip to Europe where he participated in the NATO summit in Brussels and met with British Prime Minister Theresa May in the U.K.

On Friday, special counsel Robert Mueller indicted 12 Russians for federal crimes during the 2016 presidential election, which included hacking into both the Democratic National Committee’s emails and those of Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta.
