In January 2017, Donald Trump was shown evidence that Vladimir Putin personally ordered pre-election hacking. He has since publicly questioned it. https://t.co/bJeAGsQCG3

The evidence included texts and emails from Russian military officers and information gleaned from a top-secret source close to Mr. Putin, who had described to the C.I.A. how the Kremlin decided to execute its campaign of hacking and disinformation. https://t.co/mRLwDluWfi

2 weeks before inauguration, Trump was shown highly classified intelligence gleaned from a top-secret source close to Putin indicating Putin personally ordered complex cyberattacks. The President-elect was โgrudgingly convinced,โ sources tell @NYTimes. https://t.co/S3OaaZGRBO

The president ACTED grudgingly convinced, please. If the NYT canโt say whether the president is lying because they donโt know his mind, the same standard should apply to other invisible mental states. https://t.co/akBEkaFxJg
