(WTXL) - Florida Senators Marco Rubio and Bill Nelson responded to President Donald Trump's comments about Russia's efforts to interfere in the 2016 election while at his summit with Putin.
Rubio is among those criticizing Trump and serves on the Senate intelligence committee.
Rubio said: "What the President said today is not accurate. The intelligence community has assembled probably an unparalleled amount of evidence in regards to the Russian, not just efforts to interfere in 2016, but ongoing efforts to interfere in American society."
Nelson tweeted his response to Trump's actions, saying, "The president's refusal to acknowledge that Putin interfered in our elections should alarm us all. Putin is a threat to our democracy and our upcoming election, that's a fact. The president's unwillingness to stand up to him and defend our nation is unacceptable and embarrassing."
