According to the Russian Satellite News Agency reported on the 16th, Eric Trump, the second son of former US President Trump and executive vice president of the Trump Group, once again talked about the "Russiagate" investigation in an interview, and also pointed out the political naivety of his family. Eric helped his father in both the 2016 and 2020 election cycles.

In April 2019, U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller published a report on the "Russiagate" investigation that although several members of Trump's presidential campaign had several contacts with relevant personnel of the Russian government in 2016, there was not enough direct evidence to support Trump's allegations of "collusion" with Russia. Meanwhile, both the Kremlin and the Trump camp have denied the claim of "collusion."

In an interview with former U.S. football player Jay Cutler on a podcast, Eric Trump refuted his father's claim that he "colluded" with the Russian government during his 2016 campaign, thereby making the outcome of the U.S. presidential election more favorable to Trump. He asserted: "We are not smart enough to collude with Russia." ”

Eric said on the show: "Every time we go to a place we talk from the heart, we are not so smart to collude. But from the moment we got into politics, the impeachment [against President Trump] began, and they wanted to kick us out. ”

Speaking about that campaign in 2016, Eric said: "We had no idea what we were doing. We don't even understand what a party representative is. He added, "I once said to a young staff member, 'Hey, can you tell me what a caucus meeting is?' Because I didn't know what I was going to do. ’”
