    Default "Pompeo Affirms, Reluctantly, That Russia Tried to Help Trump Win"

    "Secretary of State Mike Pompeo acknowledged -- after prodding by lawmakers -- that he backs the finding by U.S. intelligence agencies that Russia meddled in the U.S. presidential campaign to hurt Hillary Clinton and ultimately help Donald Trump."

    "In another exchange during Wednesday’s 3 1/2-hour hearing, Pompeo was asked about a tweet by Trump hours earlier that “the Criminal Deep State” went after “Phony Collusion with Russia”

    “I don’t believe there’s a deep state Pompeo said

    James Clapper just recently said that the only reason Trump won was because of Russian collusion. He will forever be an illegitimate president.
