Vladimir Putin; Donald Trump (Credit: AP/Evan Vucci) It’s no secret that President Donald Trump refuses to admit that Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election helped him get elected. But a new report from The Washington Report reveals the extent of his denialism on this critical issue. 1. Trump vehemently resisted efforts by his most trusted advisers to get him to publicly accept the intelligence community’s conclusions about Russia. As the Post described: Holding impromptu interventions in Trump’s 26th-floor corner office at Trump Tower, advisers — including Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and designated chief of staff, Reince Priebus — prodded the president-elect to accept the findings that the nation’s spy chiefs had personally presented to him on Jan. 6. They sought to convince Trump that he could affirm the validity of the intelligence without diminishing his electoral win, according to three officials involved in the sessions.
