“I strongly pressed President Putin twice about Russian meddling in our election. He vehemently denied it. I've already given my opinion…..” Trump tweeted.

Trump has not publicly said if he believes that Russia interfered in the election, saying that “nobody really knows for sure” if the country is responsible for election meddling.

Schiff blasted Trump last Thursday for saying he wasn't sure if Russia interfered in the election, saying the comments "continue to directly undermine U.S. interests."
