Published on Feb 27, 2017Paul Ryan: ‘We Know Russia Meddled in the Election, No One Is Disputing That’
peaker Paul Ryan got a question after his meeting with President Trump today about calls for a special prosecutor into Russian election interference––spurred on by the comments of one Republican lawmaker.
Ryan said he “can’t speak to” whether Jeff Sessions should recuse himself, and he said the proper place right now for this investigation is the congressional intelligence committees.
“We know Russia meddled in the election,” Ryan said, “No one is disputing that. And this last government gave us that information in the first place. No one is alleging that some American was in on it beforehand.”
Yesterday President Trump tweeted out that the “Russia talk is fake news”:
Russia talk is FAKE NEWS put out by the Dems, and played up by the media, in order to mask the big election defeat and the illegal leaks!
