RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

TRUMP: "Very interesting. Once they hack, if you don’t catch them in the act, you’re not going to catch them. They have no idea if it is Russia or China or somebody. It could be somebody sitting in a bed someplace. Personally, it could be Russia. I don’t really think it is. But who knows? I don’t know and they don’t know."
QUESTION: "Do you accept their opinion that he Vladimir Putin ordered the hack of the DNC, the attempted hack of the RNC?"
TRUMP: "I think it was Russia. But I think we also get hacked by other countries. And other people."
DICKERSON: "You don’t mean to tell me the Russians tried to meddle in the election."
TRUMP: "That I don’t know. If you don’t catch a hacker, okay, in the act, it is very hard to say who did the hacking. With that being said, I’ll go along with Russia. It could have been China. It could have been a lot of different groups."
