When King asked Trump if he believed reports that Russian hackers may have targeted Democratic Party databases as part of an effort to influence the American presidential election, Trump said he did not believe that to be the case. He echoed the same sentiment at the Commander-in-Chief Forum, saying “I think when he [Putin] calls me brilliant I’ll take the compliment, okay?” Maybe the Democrats are putting that out.

Republican vice presidential nominee Mike Pence echoed Trump’s opinion of Putin, telling CNN on Thursday, “I think it’s inarguable that Vladimir Putin has been a stronger leader in his country than Barack Obama has been in this country”.
“Some of the things he says put us in a real hard position in other parts of the world”, Biden said, according to Politico. I don’t know who hacked.
As for the interview itself, Team Trump claims that they thought it was an interview for King’s podcast and not his show on RT.
Just two months out from Election Day with the race between Clinton and Donald Trump tightening, the former secretary of state’s meeting Friday with a bipartisan group of foreign policy experts and the press conference that followed demonstrated the increasing prominence of national security in the 2016 campaign.
On social media, the content of the interview, even Trump’s mysterious dodging of the question on Mexican immigration, was also overshadowed by the 800lb Russian bear in the room, with many amazed that an worldwide news organization is covering global news. Either he hung up when told what was going on, or didn’t want to answer a question regarding immigrants (see below), if simply and innocently disconnected.
Donald Trump criticized the state of the America’s media and its leader on Thursday in an interview aired on a state-owned Russian television network.
“Well, I think the dishonesty of the media”.
The Kremlin hasn’t had anything to say about Trump’s latest praise-fest, and under the *hacking* circumstances, probably the less said the better at this point. “I mean they’ll take a statement that you make which is flawless and they’ll cut it up and chop it up and shorten it or lengthen it or do something with it”.
Republican president candidate Donald Trump’s interview with Larry King, which aired on RT America Thursday night, is fueling the flames of growing U.S. propaganda against Russian Federation, even within his own campaign. “It’s not a serious presidential campaign”.

“Mr. Trump was never told it would be shared anywhere else”, Jason Miller, a Trump spokesperson, told CNN, explaining that the interview was meant as a “favor” to King.
