President Donald Trump is faulting his predecessor’s handling of Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election.
Trump tells Fox News contributor Pete Hegseth in an interview set to air Sunday that he “just heard today for the first time” that former President Barack Obama “knew about Russia a long time before the election, and he did nothing about it.”
He says Obama “should have done something about it.”
Trump appeared to be referring to a Washington Post story about the Obama administration’s attempts to address Russia’s influence attempts.
Obama ordered a review of Russia’s actions and imposed new sanctions after the election.
Trump has acknowledged that Russia likely tried to interfere in the election, but has denounced investigations into possible Russian collusion with his campaign as a “witch hunt.”

I had no use for Obumma and didn’t vote for him in either election.
I have less use for Chump as he is talks from both sides of him fat mouth and says nothing worth while to benefit the American people. He is a sceemer and shady business man who just looks to further his riches as well as power.
I am very surprised that this who election and Russian meddling thing wasn’t blamed on BUSH.
