EXCERPT:

ACOSTA: "Now to the point about former President Obama, we should point out that, yes, there are some Democrats who say the Obama Administration did not go far enough. And there are even some Obama Administration veterans who say that themselves. But point of fact, President Obama did confront Vladimir Putin at a G20 summit in September of last year after he received this information about the possible hacking of last year’s election. So when the President says that Barack Obama did nothing, that is just factually not accurate. Meanwhile, the President has not even said himself whether he will bring up this issue when he meets with Vladimir Putin tomorrow here in Hamburg. So at this point, the President is doing, or at least promising he’s going to do even less than what he’s accusing Barack Obama of doing about Russian meddling in last year's election.”
