Daily Mail: Trump and Putin's love-in: U.S. president calls Russian leader's denial of election meddling 'very powerful' then rants about Hillary's emails and his own victory – and Putin says he wanted Trump to win and laughs about the golden showers dossier
* President Trump is in Helsinki, Finland for a summit with Vladimir Putin
* The two men met in private for two hours
* Putin was late to the summit, as well, pushing it back by an hour right after the bat
* Putin denied 'so-called' election interference happened
* He proposed a joint commission handle it
* He said Mueller's investigators could watch while Russians interrogate alleged spies
* But Putin's spies would get to interview U.S. intelligence officers
* Putin called Trump 'Donald' and praised him for North Korean diplomacy
* 'Who is to be believed and who is not to be believed? You can trust no one'
* Trump said of Putin's denial: 'He feels very strongly about it and he has an interesting idea'
* Trump began Monday by bashing the Mueller probe, 'Crooked Hillary,' and Barack Obama and went after U.S. 'foolishness and stupidity' dealing with Russia
* Russia's ministry of foreign affairs said it agreed with him in a response
* Trump earlier vented that no matter how well he does he won't be appreciated
* Blasted the media as the 'enemy of the people,' a term used in Soviet times, over the weekend
* Said that Democrats and his critics would go after him even if 'I was given the great city of Moscow'
* The shots came after indictments of 12 Russian spies accused of election hack conspiracy
Russian President Vladimir Putin told a room full of U.S. and Russian reporters that he wanted Donald Trump to win the presidency in 2016 – and Trump said he believed Putin's denials of interfering in 2016 – in just two of the many revelations in a joint press conference that only fueled the spectacle of the Russia story.
'I have president Putin, he just said it's not Russia. I will say this. I don't see any reason why it would be,' Trump said, speaking to reporters about Russian election meddling as he stood side-by-side with the man U.S. intelligence says ordered it.
'So I have great confidence in my intelligence people, but I will tell you that President Putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today,' Trump said after meeting with Putin in Helsinki in a controversial summit.
