WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he believes Russia will work hard to sway November U.S. congressional elections toward Democrats and not his fellow Republicans, but provided no evidence to back up his assertion.

American intelligence agencies have concluded that Russia had interfered in the 2016 U.S. election with a campaign of propaganda and hacking to disparage Trump's Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton and aid Trump's candidacy, and that Moscow is now targeting the Nov. 6 congressional races.
