Without Naming Trump, Ryan Says There's 'No Doubt' Russia Interfered In Election

By Matt Shuham | July 17, 2018 10:57 am

House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI), without mentioning President Donald Trump by name, said Tuesday that “there should be no doubt” that Russia interfered in the 2016 election.

The question came a day after Trump made a different assertion — that he didn’t “see any reason why” Russia would’ve interfered, and that he had “confidence” in both Putin and the the American intelligence community’s (clashing) claims about meddling.

At a press briefing Tuesday, a reporter asked if Ryan would give Trump’s press conference the same grade he’d once given former President Barack Obama’s foreign policy, “catastrophically weak.”

Ryan didn’t answer that specific question, instead saying, “We stand by our NATO allies and all those countries who are facing Russia aggression.”

Putin, he said, doesn’t share American “interests” or “values.”
