U.S. President Donald Trump has said he accepts the U.S. intelligence community's conclusion that Russia meddled in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. But he said Russian actions did not have any impact on the outcome of the vote. Trump's remark to journalists on July 17 came as he faces a wave of criticism from allies and critics over his performance a day earlier at his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
