2016 ELECTION/RUSSIA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Trump on Russian Interference in the 2016 election, July 17, 2018: ‘I actually went out and reviewed a clip of an answer that I gave, and I realized that there is a need for some clarification. It should’ve been obvious, but I would like to clarify just in case it wasn’t. In a key sentence in my remarks, I said the word ‘would’ instead of ‘wouldn’t.’ The sentence should have been, ‘I don’t see any reason why I wouldn’t or why it wouldn’t be Russia.’- In an Oval Office statement, taking back his remark from the day before.”
