NBC News chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel reacted during a Tuesday afternoon Special Report to President Trump’s attempt at damage control following the Helsinki summit by dubbing the remarks a “magic trick” meant to deceive the world and gives Russia “a green light” to continue its cyber-hacking and meddle in elections across the globe.

It can certainly be argued that the President’s backpedaling wasn’t exactly smooth, but Engel’s characterization and insinuation that Trump wants Russia to try to influence and/or throw elections across the globe was quite the stretch.
