The last time Donald Trump held a news conference, he was plunging into a heated general election campaign with Hillary Clinton and suggested Russian Federation could help dig up some of his rival’s emails.
Trump said the report never should have been released and thanked news organizations that showed restraint. To shout down a journalist, refuse to take his question and label his news organization as “fake news” serves no good objective.
“It’s basically full of unsubstantiated rumors”.
“The only ones who care about my tax returns are reporters”, Trump said.
Uehlinger worked as an Operations Officer for over 20 years and is also a Pennsylvania republican delegate.
Already, playing the same dodgeball games he resorts to when asked about business conflicts of interest, Trump is signaling that he won’t, as president, support further investigation. “You’re just going to have to trust me that they aren’t going to discuss any of those details with me”. “It’s been in their standard playbook, they sought to actively interfere with European elections as well as United States elections”, Uehlinger said. On Monday, Peskov described a USA intelligence report that accused the Kremlin of meddling with the 2016 presidential race as an “amateurish” work compiled as part of a “witch hunt” against Russian Federation.
“I am extremely careful”, he said.
During the press conference, Trump specifically called out CNN for pushing the story and intelligence sources for the leak saying it was “disgraceful that the intelligence agencies allowed any information that turned out to be so false and fake out”.
Trump’s election victory in November has been dogged by conclusions reached by US intelligence agencies that found Russian government-backed hackers broke into USA political-party servers and e-mail accounts.
Asked if he accepted Russian Federation had interfered with the election through hacking, he said Vladimir Putin “shouldn’t be doing it”.
“Since you’re attacking our news organization, can you give us a chance to ask a question?” he asked.

Dillon said divesting all Mr. Trump’s holdings would not work because it would constitute a “fire sale”, where the Trump family would get low-ball amounts. “I don’t think they care at all”. In fact, the President-elect made the jaw-dropping disclosure that he himself was playing detective with his own spy chiefs, trying to determine who was leaking information about intel briefings.
