"I think it's ridiculous. I think it's just another excuse. I don't believe it."
—Donald Trump's reaction to allegations that Russia interfered with the presidential election in order to help him win the presidency.

Trump's refusal to be concerned about the potential of a foreign power trying to influence U.S. elections is stunning.
