Daily Mail: 'We both have made some mistakes': Trump says Russia DOES share blame in tension between the two nations - but Mueller's probe has been a 'disaster' because there was 'no collusion' and 'everybody knows it'
* President Trump is in Helsinki for his summit with Vladimir Putin
* He began Monday by bashing the special counsel probe, 'Crooked Hillary' and former President Barack Obama
* He went after U.S. 'foolishness and stupidity' dealing with Russia
* Russia's ministry of foreign affairs said it agreed with him in a reply tweet
* The Justice Department indicted 12 Russian military intelligence officers Friday
* Trump earlier vented that no matter how well he does he won't be appreciated
* Said that would apply even if 'I was given the great city of Moscow'
* Blasted the media as the 'enemy of the people,' a term used in Soviet times
* Said at press conference that he believes 'both countries' are to blame for decades of tension between the two nations
* Trump did not say where exactly Moscow went wrong, however, as he pivoted to a degradation of Mueller's probe and his claim that there's 'no collusion'
* 'There was no collusion at all. Everybody knows it,' he argued.'We ran a brilliant campaign. And that's why I'm president'
President Donald Trump said Monday that he holds 'both' Russia and the United States responsible for hostilities between the two nations after blaming Washington in an early morning tweet for tensions.
Trump did not say where exactly Moscow went wrong, however, as he pivoted to a degradation of the special counsel investigation that's reviewing election meddling in 2016 and allegations of collusion and obstruction of justice.
