Representative John Lewis, a Democrat from Georgia, said Friday that he would boycott President-elect Donald Trump’s Inauguration Day in less than a week.

Lewis claimed that Russian interference helped get Trump elected. “I think the Russians participated in helping this man get elected. And they helped destroy the candidacy of Hillary Clinton,” Lewis told NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” last week
