Former President Jimmy Carter says he believes President Donald Trump actually lost the 2016 election and is only president because of Russian interference.<\/p>\n

Carter made the comments Friday, without offering evidence, during a discussion on human rights at a resort in Leesburg, Virginia.<\/p>\n

The Democrat said he believed Trump \u201clost the election and was put into office because the Russians interfered,\u201d while noting that the scope of the interference was \u201cnot yet quantified.\u201d<\/p>\n

The U.S. intelligence community asserted in a 2017 report that Russia had worked to help Trump during the election and to undermine Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton.<\/p>\n

But the intelligence agencies did not assess whether that interference affected the election or contributed to Trump\u2019s victory, and no evidence has emerged that votes were changed on Election Day.<\/p>\n
