Putin Admits "I Wanted Trump To Win": Full Highlights From Historic Summit +Video
By Tyler Durden / ZeroHedge
Talking heads, Democratic politicians and other opponents of President Trump flew into an apoplectic rage Monday morning as President Trump and President Putin answered questions from reporters about their joint summit in Helsinki. The historic meeting contained more than a few controversial revelations, and the media is apparently fixating on Putin’s admission that he wanted Trump to win in 2016 – though both Trump and Putin denied that Russia had meddled in the race to benefit the president.
Putin said he wanted Trump to win “because he talked about bringing US-Russia relations back to normal.”
Press Conference starts at 1:09…
Here’s the moment when Putin was asked if he wanted Trump to win the 2016 election. Putin answered, “Yes.”
Asked point-blank if he had collected “compromising material” on President Trump when Trump traveled to Moscow for the Miss Universe pageant in 2013, Putin said he wasn’t even aware of Trump’s visit at the time, and that there were hundreds of American business luminaries in town at the same time. Collecting information on all of them would have been impossible, Putin said. Trump added that if Russia did have the long-rumored kompromat, “it would have been out long ago.”
Both Trump and Putin insisted that there was no collusion between Russia and the US, and that the Mueller probe is – as Trump has repeatedly described it – a witch hunt that has gone far beyond the original focus of what happened during the campaign.
“There was no collusion,” Trump said at joint presser with Russian Pres. Putin. “I didn’t know the president. There was nobody to collude with.”
“We ran a brilliant campaign and that’s why I’m president.”
Asked by a reporter if he would denounce Putin for interfering with the 2016 election, Trump refused and instead asked questions about the DNC’s failure to grant access to its compromised server to the FBI.
“30,000 emails gone – just gone. I don’t think in Russia they’d be gone so easily. Putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today. He offered to have people working on the case come and work with their people.”
Pundits bashed Trump for treating Putin amicably during the press conference, with CNN’s Anderson Cooper describing the conference as “disgraceful.”
“You have been watching perhaps one of the most disgraceful performances by an American president at a summit in front of a Russian leader certainly than I’ve ever seen.”
Meanwhile, Trump tweeted video of the full press conference:

Nothing new here. Putin said during the election that he wanted Trump to win because if Hillary won, we would have WWIII. Yes, he is right. That is the agenda of the Deep State and Hillary is one of them. Because he wanted Trump to win, doesn’t mean he interfered in the election or he single handedly prevented Hillary from winning. If I believed for a second he interfered in the election and caused Hillary to lose, I’d send him a thank you note from all humanity.
Right
