President-elect Donald Trump on late Saturday told reporters he will make a revelation about alleged Russian hacking in the U.S. election.
Trump spoke to reporters at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Fla., during a New Year’s Eve celebration. He said he knows “things that other people don’t know,” The Hill reported.
“I just want them to be sure because it’s a pretty serious charge,” Trump said, again expressing doubt that Russians swayed the election.
“If you look at the weapons of mass destruction, that was a disaster, and they were wrong,” he said, referring to the CIA’s 2002 intelligence assessment of so-called “WMDs” in Iraq, which were used as a precursor to invade the country and topple the regime of then-dictator Saddam Hussein. At the time, the 2002 report was used as the basis for the Bush administration’s public statements about alleged biological weapons, which represented an immediate threat.
