Megyn Kelly’s show premieres tonight on NBC.
As part of her debut, she moderated a forum involving Russian President Vladimir Putin.
In December, the intelligence community released their assessment that the Russian government as behind the hacks of the Democrat National Committee and Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s email accounts.
They claimed Putin ordered this hacking to get back at Clinton and to help Trump.
So far, no evidence has been presented to back this up.
Megyn Kelly was the first U.S. journalist to interview Putin since these revelations.
She quizzed Putin on these allegations.
And Putin denied them.
Axios reports:
“On reports of Russia meddling in U.S. election: “We should stop this idle prattle, which is harmful,” said Putin. “There are no facts. Only suggestions and allegations.” He later made the analogy that blaming Moscow for the outcome of the U.S. election is “like anti-semitism. [It’s like saying] the Jews are to blame!”
Is Putin to be believed?
He has ample reason to lie.
But even if the allegations against Russia are true, there is no evidence they changed any votes.
Trump says the Democrats cooked up the Russia story to distract from Hillary’s loss.
Who do you believe?
Putin?
The Democrats?
Or Trump?
