Last November, President Trump told reporters that he believed the Russian president, Vladimir V. Putin, when he vigorously denied having meddled in the 2016 presidential election, an allegation that Mr. Trump has repeatedly called a hoax.
“Every time he sees me he says I didn’t do that, and I really believe that when he tells me that, he means it,” Mr. Trump said at the time.
On Friday, Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel, indicted 13 Russian nationals and described a vast, sophisticated Russian operation to interfere in the election, delivering to Mr. Trump the kind of evidence that the president has long sought to dismiss as political attacks from his rivals.
