George W. Bush: 'Clear evidence Russians meddled' in election
Kim Hjelmgaard, USA TODAYPublished 5:25 a.m. ET Feb. 8, 2018
Former President George W. Bush appeared to take aim at President Trump on Thursday when he said at an economic summit in the Middle East that there was "pretty clear evidence that the Russians meddled" in the 2016 U.S. president election.
Bush made the comments in a talk in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. He was appearing there as part of a conference put on by the Milken Institute, a think tank based in Santa Monica, California.
While Bush did not directly name Trump, his comments did appear to target him. Trump has consistently disputed allegations of Russian interference in the election or that members of his campaign team in any way "colluded" with Moscow.
"Whether (Russia) affected the outcome is another question," Bush added.
"It’s problematic that a foreign nation is involved in our election system. Our democracy is only as good as people trust the results," he said.
