Biden claims Russia wouldn’t meddle in elections on his watch

Ex-veep Joe Biden claimed Friday that Russia would never interfere in an election if he were president — even though the US intelligence community unanimously concluded they did just that when he was in the White House.

“While Putin’s trying to undo our elections, he’s actually undoing elections in, in Europe,” Biden told CNN.

“Look at what’s happening in Hungary … look at what’s happening! You think that would happen on my watch, on Barack’s watch? You can’t answer that, but I promise you it wouldn’t have. And it didn’t,” the gaffe-prone Democratic presidential frontrunner said.

Former special counsel Robert Mueller’s 23-month probe concluded that Russia, at strongman Vladimir Putin’s direction, launched a massive attack on the US electoral process that began well before the 2016 elections.

Those efforts, according to the intelligence community, remain ongoing as the 2020 elections approach.
