"You know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made up story. It's an excuse by the Democrats for having lost an election that they should have won ... This was an excuse for having lost an election."


"Politifact on Tuesday named the claim that Russia's election hacking is a "made-up story" as its 2017 "Lie of the Year."

The fact-checking website said that despite "a mountain of evidence" that Moscow interfered in the 2016 presidential election, President Trump continues to insist otherwise.

"Trump continually asserts that Russia's meddling in the 2016 election is fake news, a hoax or a made-up story, even though there is widespread, bipartisan evidence to the contrary,"

"Trump could acknowledge the interference happened while still standing by the legitimacy of his election and his presidency - but he declines to do so," Holan writes. "Sometimes he'll state firmly there was 'no collusion' between his campaign and Russia, an implicit admission that Russia did act in some capacity. Then he reverts back to denying the interference even happened."
