President-elect Donald Trump on Sunday blamed Democrats for reports of a secret CIA assessment that Russia tried to sway the 2016 election in his favor.
"I think the Democrats are putting it out because they suffered one of the greatest defeats in the history of politics in this country. And frankly, I think they're putting it out, and it's ridiculous," Trump said on "Fox News Sunday."
He also cast doubt on whether the intelligence community's analysis is correct.
"If you look at the story and you take a look at what they said, there's great confusion," Trump said. "Nobody really knows, and hacking is very interesting. Once they hack, if you don't catch them in the act, you're not going to catch them. They have no idea if it's Russia or China or somebody. It could be somebody sitting in a bed someplace. I mean, they have no idea."
On Saturday, Trump's transition team mockingly compared the secret CIAassessment to the agency’s historic misjudgments on Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction. Several prominent Republican and Democratic senatorsand representatives have called for congressional review of Russia's influence in the election.
