Amid Russia Outrage, Trump Shares An Old Video Of Hillary Clinton:

President Donald Trump came under immense pressure this week to clarify his stance on Russian meddling and U.S. intelligence reports after a high-stakes summit with President Vladimir Putin on Monday in Helenski, Finland.

Trump has now clarified his stance several times on the issue after a firestorm over his comments at the joint presser with Putin were seen as weak on the issue of Russian interference. Trump stated that he does believe intelligence findings on Russian interference during the election and told reporters at the White House Wednesday that “there’s been no president ever as tough as I have been on Russia.”

To further counter the narrative that he is weak on Russia, Trump tweeted an older interview of Hillary Clinton, presumably from her time as Secretary of State. “We want a strong Russia,” Clinton says in the clip: “A strong, confident, prosperous, stable Russia is in the interest of the world.”
