You're going to delegitimize his victory?"Scaramucci said he intended to review the intelligence community's evidence once he had his security clearance and pledged to give Trump his personal thoughts on the conclusions.He said Trump would make up his own mind in time and that if Trump believed Russia was responsible for the 2016 efforts and a threat to future elections, he would act."A person that's going to be super, super tough on Russia is President Donald Trump," the Communications Director added.Earlier on Sunday, Trump posted a tweet that called the Russia probe a "witch hunt", saying Democrats were using the Russian hacking allegations as an "excuse for a lost election"."As the phony Russian Witch Hunt continues, two groups are laughing at this excuse for a lost election taking hold, Democrats and Russians!" he wrote.In response, Democratic Senator Al Franken told CNN: "What can you say? It's just bizarre."
