Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said on Sunday that Russia did attempt to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.
"Yes, Russia did attempt to interfere in our election. There is no question. Let's not lose sight of the fact that it was the previous administration that let that happen," Mulvaney said when asked by Chuck Todd on NBC's "Meet the Press" if President Trump accepts the fact that "Russia interfered to benefit him."
Mulvaney's comments come after Trump suggested for the first time last week that Russia helped him get elected.
