Politifact names Trump claim that Russian election interference is 'made-up' as 'Lie of the Year'

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," Politifact's Angie Drobnic Holan writes.

As special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into whether the Trump campaign colluded with the Kremlin has ramped up, the president and his lawyers have repeatedly said that there was "no collusion."
