The president implicitly invites American adversaries to again interfere in the 2020 election. : THE BIG IDEA: President Trump invited future interference in American elections on Wednesday when he declared that “there isn’t anything wrong” with accepting “oppo research” from foreigners and made clear that he does not feel any obligation to alert the FBI if his campaign is approached again in 2020. During a news conference on July 27, 2016, Trump said a foreign power would be “rewarded mightily” if it hacked Hillary Clinton’s private email server and released her messages.
