'I had nothing to do with Russia helping me to get elected,” Trump wrote on Twitter Thursday.
The head of Donald Trump’s reelection campaign said Thursday that a tweet from the president stating that Russia had helped him get elected was merely a “typo.”
The comment was immediately seized upon as being the first time that Trump had stated that Russia had aided his election campaign, something that has long been the conclusion of U.S. intelligence agencies. But, citing a New York Times headline stating “Trump Admits to Russia ‘Helping Me to Get Elected,’” Brad Parscale said there had been no change from the president’s previous statements downplaying Russian interference.
