President Donald Trump said an apparent leak on Russian interference in the 2020 election was designed to hurt Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) before calling for an investigation.

Before leaving on a trip to India, the president told reporters at the White House that “nobody briefed [him] about that at all” when he was asked about the alleged Kremlin interference to bolster Sanders’s campaign. Trump then offered critical words to a longtime congressional foe.
