TIL Desk/World/Washington/ President Donald Trump has alleged that China, in addition to Russia, meddled in the 2016 United States presidential elections. Last month, chairing a United Nations Security Council meeting on the sidelines of the UN general Assembly in New York, Trump had alleged that China was trying to interfere in the 2018 mid-term polls and that it did not want him to be the President.
China has denied these allegations. However, for the first time Trump came out in open to say that China also meddled in the 2016 Presidential elections. “They (Russians) meddled. But I think China meddled too,” Trump told popular ’60 Minutes’ in an interview.
Recorded on Thursday, the interview was broadcast Sunday night. “I think China meddled also. And I think, frankly, China…is a bigger problem,” Trump said and denied that by saying so he is not trying to divert the entire Russia thing. “I’m saying Russia, but I’m also saying China,” he said.
But it’s the investigation of Russia’s intervention in the 2016 election that hangs over his presidency and caused a rift with his Attorney General Jeff Sessions, because he recused himself from the inquiry. Trump expressed disappointment that his Attorney General Jeff Sessions rescued himself from the Russia investigation.
