Schumer Statement On President Trump’s Denial Of Continued Russian Interference

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer today released the following statement regarding President Trump’s denial of Russian interference in US elections:

“Mr. President, it is time to stop taking the word of a KGB agent over that of your own intelligence officials. Russia interfered in our 2016 elections. They’re actively trying to do it again. You must wake up to that fact. We won’t be able, as a nation, to fight back against foreign interference in our elections if the Commander in Chief doesn’t even acknowledge that it’s a real problem. The American people will not trust that you will protect them if you continue to put your interests ahead of those of our country.”
