President Donald Trump is muddying the waters over Russia's involvement in the 2016 election.
In an early morning tweet Trump posted that "I had nothing to do with Russia helping me to get elected." But he later insisted that Russia didn't help him.
It was the President reacting after special counsel Robert Mueller on Wednesday spoke about his investigation into Russia election meddling and contacts with the Trump presidential campaign.
Mueller found that Russia meddled in the 2016 election, and while he said that charging Trump with a crime was "not an option." He said because of federal rules, he emphasized that he did not exonerate the president.
Trump told reporters this morning as he departed the White House, "Russia didn't help me at all." Trump said Russia would have preferred that Hillary Clinton be elected, not him.
According to Trump "Nobody has been tougher" on Russia "than me."
