President Trump said he was “reluctant” to trust the US intelligence community over Russian President Vladimir Putin because of “Dirty Cops” like former FBI Director James Comey — who he accused of launching the Russia investigation to discredit his 2016 White House win.

“John Bolton, one of the dumbest people I’ve met in government and sadly, I’ve met plenty, states often that I respected, and even trusted, Vladimir Putin of Russia more than those in our Intelligence Agencies,” Trump wrote in a tweet Tuesday, referring to his former national security adviser.

“While of course that is not true, if the first people you met from so called American Intelligence were Dirty Cops who have now proven to be sleazebags at the highest level like James Comey, proven liar James Clapper, & perhaps the lowest of them all, Wacko John Brennan who headed the CIA, you could perhaps understand my reluctance to embrace!” he continued.

Clapper, former Director of National Intelligence, and Brennan were among Obama administration officials who allegedly tried to reveal the identity of Trump’s first national security adviser Michael Flynn after he was caught communicating with the former Russian ambassador during the presidential transition.

Attorney General William Barr has launched an investigation into the “unmasking” of Flynn.

Trump fired Comey in May 2017, and days later, Robert Mueller was named as special counsel to investigate the Trump campaign’s possible ties to Russia.

Trump sided with Putin over US intelligence agencies in 2018 in regards to meddling in the 2016 election, following one-on-one talks with the Russian leader in Helsinki.

“President Putin says it’s not Russia. I don’t see any reason why it would be,” Trump responded after being asked during a news conference who he trusted more.

The US intelligence community concluded that Russia interfered in the election.
