Facing criticism from all sides,

President Donald Trump says he misspoke during his visit to Helsinki, Finland.

Trump says he accepts the findings of U.S. intelligence agencies

that Russia interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

The president said that after reading a transcript of his Helsinki comments,

he realized he misspoke.

Trump said, "The sentence should have been,

'I don't see any reason why I wouldn't, or why it wouldn't be Russia" instead of "why it would".

"I accept our intelligence community's conclusion that Russia's meddling

in the 2016 election took place.
