Washington: US President Donald Trump told supporters at a rally that he had vanquished a corrupt group of Democrats, the news media and the Washington elite, who tried to “nullify” his “historic” election victory by painting him as an “agent of Russia”. “After three years of lies and smears and slander, the Russia hoax is finally dead,” Trump said at his rally at Grand Rapids, Michigan. “The collusion delusion is over,” The New York Times quoted the President as saying.
