‘Weirdest thing’: Trump expresses anger, but not over Russian election-meddling
WASHINGTON — A curious thing has unfolded since the release of details about a Russian campaign to interfere in U.S. politics, with a secretive unit that allegedly had 80 employees, a $1.2 million-a-month budget, and impersonated real Americans by stealing their personal information.
It involves the reaction of the president of the United States.
Since an indictment sheet revealed these details Friday, Donald Trump has tweeted about it at least 14 times. He’s blamed the FBI and the news media. He’s scolded his national-security advisor. He’s even used the Florida school shooting to argue that he’s being wronged.
One thing he hasn’t done: Voice displeasure with Russia.
