WASHINGTON President Trump said on Sunday that he had strongly pressed President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia twice about election meddling during their first face-to-face meeting last week but did not dispute Moscows claim that he had accepted Mr. Putins denial of involvement, as he declared it time to move forward in a constructive United States relationship with Russia.
Mr. Trumps account, in a thread of morning Twitter posts, of his lengthy and closely scrutinized closed-door meeting with Mr. Putin was an attempt to move beyond the controversy after Moscow characterized the election discussion as a meeting of minds rather than a showdown between the two leaders.
Mr. Trumps tweets, though, did little to dispel that notion. He characterized his position as an opinion and asserted that he was prepared to team with Moscow which United States intelligence agencies say carried out a historic effort to interfere with American democracy last year, and will attempt to again on forming an impenetrable Cyber Security unit to thwart future breaches.
I strongly pressed President Putin twice about Russian meddling in our election, Mr. Trump said in one post. He vehemently denied it. Ive already given my opinion.
