SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — President Donald Trump’s former ambassador to Russia says Vladimir Putin is likely “joyful” about the renewed prominence of a debunked conspiracy theory that Ukraine was responsible for meddling in the 2016 election. Jon Huntsman Jr. said in an interview with The Associated Press on Thursday that Russia tries to sow seeds of discontent between the U.S. and Ukraine. Trump continues to say Ukraine was behind the election interference, while the FBI has confirmed it was Russia. The Republican candidate for Utah governor hasn’t quite endorsed Trump but says he would back him in 2020.
